Alpha Grace's POV.

I got up this morning around five so I could get an early start on paperwork and phone calls that needed to be made. I put enough off yesterday and my work has backed up a good bit.

I am used to a very busy workload being the only person as first in command. It's been like this since I first started this pack. I got used to John taking over a lot of my work and I almost feel like I took his kind nature for granted.

I should have seen he was struggling and helped him long before now. After all this pack is about healing and helping people recover from the trials they've gone through.

I feel bad, almost like I've let John down and that's not what I meant to do at all. I have a few therapists in my pack and I plan on meeting with John today to talk to him about him seeing one of them to get through the trauma of the brutal attack he endured.

From what I've heard, that's what Amber and Connor are doing now. They've been seeing a human therapist whom they have been protecting. My eyes widen slightly at the idea it gives me. I should contact Amber and see how the therapy has been doing for her and see if that would make it easier for John.

I set aside my paperwork and start a mind link between Amber and myself. I freeze though before I speak. From what I can sense, Amber is asleep and completely relaxed.

I would feel awful if I woke her up. So instead I cut the mind link and created one between myself and Connor.

' Hello Connor, how are you?' I ask.

He seems startled at first and then that's when I feel it. The overwhelming new power he holds. The power of an Alpha. Pride fills me as well as joy and I grin. " May I be the first to say, congratulations on your new title Alpha Connor. " I said.

Connor seems to smile but his emotions have him feeling a bit off. " Thank you Alpha Grace.  Believe it or not, becoming Alpha literally just happened. " he said.

My eyes widen. " Really? What made you finally decide to take up being Alpha? Last I heard you were still in the process of healing. " I said.

" I still am in the process of healing but I've been seeing the way this work load is taking it's toll on Amber. She's not doing too good and I have been a bad mate by not seeing her struggling when I should have. That's why I've decided that while I continue to heal, I'll be the Alpha this pack needs, the Alpha she needs me to be. I'm doing it all for her. " he said.

" Then in my opinion that doesn't make you a bad mate. You were healing Connor, you still are. Focusing on yourself is not a bad thing and you are making up for it now. What you are doing right now is what a true mate does for their significant other. Don't call yourself a bad mate. " I said.

He seems to smile at that. " Thank you. So, what brings you to me today?" He asks.

" You remember Amber's older brother right?" I ask.

" Yeah, I remember John. Did something happen to him?" Asked Connor with pure concern for not only him but his mate.

" No, he's alright. I was actually contacting you because he is in need of a therapist. I have some lined up and I'm going to talk to him today and see what he thinks. You have gone through worse trauma than him and I heard you were getting therapy treatment for it. I was wondering how this treatment has helped you and if you think it would help John?" I asked.

He relaxed a bit at the assurance that John was ok. " It's difficult at first because you have to open up to a complete stranger about everything that's happened to you, but once you do it's like you can't stop. It becomes so easy and they don't openly share anything you've said with anyone else unless they have your permission. Once you talk through everything it starts to help. " said Connor.

" Tell me, how has this therapy helped you? If you don't mind sharing? " I ask.

" I don't mind at all. It has helped me a lot. I only had a few visits with my therapist and I've begun to receive more of my memories that have been locked away. I've also had other things around me that have helped me, such as Amber and this cute little kitten we found out in the woods by a walnut tree. She's been giving me more ways to help my stress and just overall helping me to relax. I'd say John would be if it greatly from therapy. It could do him a lot of good. " said Connor.

" I'm so glad it's helping you. You must been grilled at getting some of your memories back. " I said.

" I am. It gives me a pretty good headache afterwards but it's worth the headache if I can remember who I was before this. " said Connor.

" That's the spirit. " I said.

" If you need me to help talk John into at least trying one meeting with a therapist, I'm all for helping. " offered Connor.

" That's very sweet of you. I'll keep that in mind when I talk to him. Thank you. " I said.

" Anytime. Now, I've got to go check on Clayton and see how he's doing. Thanks for the talk. Don't try to contact Amber today if you can help it. I'm treating her to a day of relaxation so she can rest and eat and just enjoy herself. If you have any news you can contact me. " said Connor.

" Understood. Thank you Alpha Connor. It was good talking to you. " I said.

" To you as well Alpha Grace. " I then cut the mind link and smiled.

Connor's made big steps in his recovery. I can only hope that John will make the same steps in his.
