The Delicate Girl Mate novel Chapter 28

Jordi nudged me toward the mic and I realized what he wanted me to do. Stepping forward I spoke, "Um, hi. I'm Layla and I dot know much about your... um type? But I am learning as much as I can and just have to say I already feel like most of you are my family. I'm looking forward to being your Luna and I can only hope you guys accept me as that. Thank you." I smiled.

"Oh and also, Layla here has a little brother, Ben. He's super adorable and smart. If any of the pups in the pack would like to make new friends then he's super kind and friendly. He'll love you guys too, trust me." Jordi finished.

Some people let out some 'aww's and then just clapped as Jordi wrapped up the announcement, telling them they could go ahead and eat or party.

"You did great babe, they love you. I told you they would."

"Did I really? Thanks, it means a lot that they accept me." I smiled. He nodded and kissed my forehead.

The rest of the night went smoothly. I introduced myself to most of the pack and they all congratulated Jordi on finally finding me then turned to me to tell me how they were looking forward to having me as their Luna.

To say the least, I had a huge smile on my face all night and when it was finally time to wrap things up and go to bed, it wouldn't go away. Things went perfectly tonight and everything was amazing.

Turns out, I had nothing to worry about tonight.

"Okay, thanks for letting me know." I hung up the phone with a sigh.

I screamed out, frustrated to no end. I knocked a cup of pens off of my desk I was that frustrated. Seconds later my dad came through the door.

"What's going on?" He said, taking a seat across from my pacing self.

I just sighed.

"If it's a pack problem then you need to let Layla in on it and let her help. She is your Luna and needs to start learning." He said.

"Son, she will get past this. I believe in her, now as for you, well you just gotta be there for her. Don't make her talk, just be there. I'm sure it's helping more than you think." He said. "Now what's happening with him?"

"I'm not completely sure it's him but I have a pretty nasty feeling that it is." He motioned for me to continue. "Alpha Damon's border teams spotted a rogue a few miles from their territory. Since our guards were bringing him in that direction I feel like it's him."

"I won't tell you what to do, but if I were still in reign, I would add a few extra security to the border teams and then keep in touch with Alpha Damon. Keep getting updates on the situation and most importantly, help Layla through this. Keep them both safe. I know I will as well the rest of the pack. They love her and the adults who have met Ben through their pups have loved him."

I smiled, "I will. Promise."

I was just laying here, staring up at the bright blue sky, taking in the feelings of dirt against my fur, the wind whispering in my ears, the sun kissing my snout.

Pups were in training right now, with some of the beginning instructors. The advanced classes were later today.
