Chapter 397
“That’s frightening.” Jena says dryly. “I agree he isn’t the smartest, or I guess it would be the most thought out person, but I did hear him talk to the guards a lot and he for sure knows how to use his words to his advantage.”
“I noticed that too, when I was taken. He didn’t enter the fight at all, but was close enough to egg people on and that didn’t take a lot of effort. Tyler was the same when the guards were giving him a hard time about taking a long time to bring me in.”
“Well ladies, I think we have enough for now. We need to leave in about thirty minutes for the castle so you all can get ready with Anne. Don’t worry about dinner, she will make sure you are all well fed.” He winks at us. “Plan on staying at the castle tonight, no need to bring anything, Anne will have everything you need. Mina is already over there, getting things together with Anne.” Alpha Reggie says with a little glint in his eyes that makes him look so much younger. He knows I hate this whole dress up thing and loves that Luna Anne gets me to do it anyway, the same way she gets him to do things. “Jena, Nathaniel is already working on your supply list, he will meet you both at the castle when he is done. He sounded far more excited than I have ever heard him. He may be more Jena’s speed than we thought and he was just really good at hiding it.” Osiston smiles. “You are both dismissed.”
We get up to leave. “Oh, Jena.” Alpha Reggie calls. “I know that there are a lot of things up in the air for you right now, but as we put out information searching for your pack members. Should they choose to come back to you we will be more than happy to house them here on Royal pack territory for the time being. Alpha King Markus did say that your pack lands are still a little worse off after the attack. It wasn’t a priority when they were looking for survivors. You have no pressure to leave or stay, I just want you to know that we will help in any way we can.”
Jena smiles, her eyes glistening with unshed tears and just nods to him. I don’t think she can get words out right now. I throw my arm around her shoulder and lead us both out.
“He’s not kidding Luna Anne will have everything for us, so we don’t need to bring a thing, Unless you have some super secret spy gadgets I don’t know about.” I give her a sideways look.
“It’s not like that.” I raise my eyebrows in disbelief. “Okay, maybe a little like that. I figured out I was good with computers when I was little so I used to hack into the school database and change my grade, because I spent as little time in class as I could and as much time outside training as possible. I also may or may not have pranked my dad a few times. But it’s been a long time since I have messed with any o that, and technology changes so fast, all the time. That’s why I’m glad Nathaniel is going to be with me, just in case there’s a better way to do something.”
“Speaking of, let’s go find Wyatt, we have about fifteen minutes to kill and he is probably eating alone, if Nathaniel is off being your errand boy.”
