Acceptance

Chapter 16

I'm not sure what's going on with wattpad, but each time I've tried to upload a chapter it's come out like the following two paragraphs, so I when I copy and paste it from a word document I now need to go in and edit every paragraph to make sure it's not like the following. Is anyone else having this problem????

Braedon and Nicolas had come to their feet towards the tail end of Jacob’s rant. They’d realised Jacob was upset, angry even, but for him to threaten to leave his home as well… that, they hadn’t seen coming.

The brother’s glanced at each other before retaking their seats; neither quite knowing what to say and for several moments sat silently considering Jacob’s words. It was Nicolas that finally spoke. “We’ve made a bloody mess of this whole situation haven’t we?â€

Braedon and Nicolas had come to their feet towards the tail end of Jacob's rant. They'd realised Jacob was upset, angry even, but for him to threaten to leave his home was well... that, they hadn't seen that coming.

The brother's glanced at each other before retaking their seats; neither quite knowing what to say and for several moments sat silently considering Jacob's words. It was Nicolas that finally spoke. "We've made a bloody mess of this whole situation, haven't we?"

Braedon laughed and not in a good way. "It would seem we are excelling at stupidity of late." He ran a hand over his chin rubbing it in frustration, "We need to do better Nick. That we've caused so much hurt to our own sister... he shook his head.

"I agree Brae and I hate to be the practical one and as bloody minded as some might believe it to be..." He got to his feet began pacing the area in front of the desk.

Braedon waited knowing his brother would come to his point in his own time.

Nicolas walked back to his seat, sitting down again before speaking. "The loss to the Pack if Jaz does leave will be great." He sighed, looked his brother in the eye. "If Jaz decides to go, we both know she won't be leaving alone and now; with the three children she's gained there will be a loss of ten Pack members, eleven if we include Jacob." 

Braedon leaned forward in his chair resting his elbows on his desk. "That's a huge loss to any Pack. It would also send a message to other Alphas, that perhaps I am no longer as in control of my Pack as I should be." He sighed releasing a low growl of frustration.

"Jaz is our sister, our blood. We've done enough damage to her without causing anymore." Braedon sighed. "I do not want to lose her, as I'm certain you don't. All these years we've kept her here under the premise of keeping her safe." He shook his head leaning back in his chair as he closed his eyes.

"We've been selfish Nick and it's time to make amends. We need to let Jaz know that we are on her side. That she can count on us. The children; she will no doubt believe we'll try to take them from her."

"Yes," Nicolas nodded. "I can't say as I blame her given how we've treated her in the past."

"Then we prove her wrong. Show our sister that she can count on us. She's family, they too are now our family. It's about time we started acting like one."

"And it's about bloody time too!" Jacob burst into the room, a huge grin on his face. "I had no doubt that you would come through. Now don't you think it's time you spoke to your sister before welcoming our newest members into the Pack? I'll speak to Gilbert. I'm certain there's a party in order to welcome everyone home." 

At that Jacob turned  leaving the brothers once again in stunned silence. The brothers looked at each other all seriousness before bursting out laughing. "Come Nick let's see if we can make amends with our mates before we speak to Jaz."
