Connor's POV.

I hope Amber has enjoyed her morning off. I had talked to Pamela  last night when Amber was out showing Rebecca the fireflies.

We both angered that Amber needed a break. I love Amber and I love everything about her but I've noticed she hasn't been eating much and Pamela and I both agree she has lost some weight from not eating.

I really don't like that fact. I don't like the thought or reality that Amber may be going without food and starving herself just to run this pack by herself. It makes me feel sick to know I could have done more to help prevent that and instead I was so focused on myself.

Now we have Rebecca and I talked to her this morning and told her that Amber will be taking a break working for today. Rebecca was thrilled to be of help in any way she could be. She is such a joy to be around.

Right now she is playing on a play ground with Sasha while Pamela and I are sitting on a bench talking. " So what are your plans for today?" Asked Pamela.

" I'm not sure where to start. " I say honestly.

" Why don't you ask your father where you should start. " said Pamela.

" He's in the prison though. " I said.

" So? Act like you're going to question him, take him to one of the interrogation rooms and talk to him there. " said Pamela.

I looked back at Rebecca and pondered over it in my mind. That does seem like a good idea but Rebecca needs protection and Amber needs her day off.

Just then I received a mind link from Clayton. ' Hey Connor, I never got to let you know, but we got back in the middle of the night from the mission Amber sent us on. The people we rescued are staying with me at my parents house for now. ' said Clayton.

I huff a small laugh and smile. ' Perfect timing as always Clayton. I have one small favor I need from you. It'll only be an hour or two then you can sleep the day away. ' I said back.

" Anything you need brother. " said Clayton.

" Come to the little playground we have here in the pack and I'll explain everything then. " I said.

" On my way. " he said.

I then let Pamela know he would be coming. I stood up and walked over to Rebecca. She stopped playing when I walked closer and I crouched down by her.

Hey eyes lit up green and I could hear her voice in my head. " Is everything ok?" She asks.

" Yeah. Everything is just fine. I wanted to let you know that I have to see my father soon and my best friend is coming to watch you for me, just until I get back. " I said.

" Is your friend nice?" She asked.

" He is and he's really good with kids. " I said.

" How long will you be?" Asked Rebecca.

" I'll try not to be more than two ours. " I said.

" Why do you need to go see your father? Isn't he in the prison?" Asked Rebecca.

" He is, yes. I need to see him to ask what the first thing I should do in becoming Alpha of the pack. I need his and ice and normally I'd take you with me but the people, the humans we have in there might recognize you. I don't want to put any unnecessary strain on you so my friend Clayton will be here shortly. " I said.

She nods. " Ok, if you trust him then that's good enough for me. "

She's so brave. I lightly ruffle her hair and she grins. " Good girl. " I said.

I let her go continue to play for a bit as I walk back over to Pamela. We wait about five minutes before Clayton walks up. He looks fine but very tired. There are deep bags under his eyes.

" Are you sure you're ok with doing this for me? You look like you could drop any second. " I said.

Clayton smiled. " We have a few hiccups during the rescue but we made it out with that girls family without any injuries other than a small burn on the hand due to silver paint on the door handles. " said Clayton.

" Did you get the burns treated before you came here?" I asked.

" That was the first thing my mother and Tasha insisted on us doing. It's almost fully healed now anyway. They weren't bad burns. " said Clayton.

" Good. I'm glad you're ok. " I said.

" So what's this mission you need me to do for you?" Said Clayton.

They had heard about Rebecca but hadn't gotten a chance to meet her yet. " The girl over there with Sasha is Rebecca. She doesn't speak to you out loud but she will speak to you in your mind with her powers. I need to talk to my father who is undercover in the prison for a while and I need a werewolf to be able to guard Rebecca from the werewolf hunters in case they were to show up while I'm gone. " I said.

" Where's Amber?" He asked.

" I have treated her to a spa day. She needs it so right now she should be watching the movie I picked out and got ready for her. " I said.

" That's very sweet of you Connor. I can watch Rebecca for you. No problem. " said Clayton.

I called over Rebecca then and she ran over with Sasha. " Hi Mister Clayton. It's good to see you again. Did your mission go well?" Asked Sasha with enthusiasm.

Clayton laughed. " It went great Sasha. I see you've made a new friend. Care to introduce me?" Asked Clayton.

" Oh yeah, Mister Clayton. This is my new best friend Rebecca. She's shy at first but she's so much fun to be around. " said Sasha.

Clayton crouched down in front of Rebecca who looked at him curiously. She then looked at me for assurance, as if asking if this was my friend without actually saying the words.

" This is my best friend Clayton. We grew up together. His mate is Amber's best friend. " I said.

" Really. That's so cool. " her eyes were glowing green and she was so excited to hear that.

I grinned at her. " Clayton likes to joke around a lot but he will protect you with everything he has and more. I wouldn't trust anyone else with your protection more than I would with him and Tasha. " I said.

She looked at Clayton and her eyes glowed green again. Clayton took the new form of communication in stride. " I won't let you down kid. How about I take you to my favorite spot here in the pack and show you the amazing view?" Said Clayton.

She nodded. " Don't go too far into the woods. Make sure there are guards around to hear you if you call out. " I ordered.

He nodded and stood up. He studied me for a moment before smiling. " Why do you need to talk to your father?" He asked.

" I decided that I'm ready to take up the title of Alpha and become the Alpha that Amber and this pack needs. " I said.

Clayton grinned and hugged me tightly. " Finally. I'm proud of you Connor. Go ahead and go. We will be at the south lookout when you're ready to come find us. If we move places I'll let you know. She'll be safe. I promise. " said Clayton releasing me.

" Thank you. " I said before getting down by Rebecca who immediately had me in a hug as well. Her eyes began to glow again. " Be safe and hurry back. " she said.

" Yes ma'am. " I said. That got a small giggle from her.

I then stood up said bye to everyone, turned and finally started to make my way to the prison. Hopefully this will all go well.
