“Yeah.” Jacob sighed. Opening the door, we had all eyes as we walked back in. Sherry gave me a look that told me she didn’t
appreciate me taking her mate into the hall. Even let out a little growl before her eyes got wide and fear filled them.
“Oh my! I’m so sorry!” Sherry put a hand over her mouth as her eye widened. Her face turned pale as she looked at me.
“HA! You’re fine. It’s natural to be territorial over your mate.” I said as I went over and sat beside Penny and Luna Erin.
Jacob went over and sat in the other arm chair beside Sherry. “Sherry, what ranking where you at the other pack?” Dad asked
Sherry.
“I-I was a maid. All women are maids. There is never a ranking woman.” Sherry said through her fingers as she hadn’t removed
her hand yet.
“What did your dad do?” Dad asked.
“Um, he died when I was little but mom said he used to be a warrior.” Sherry kept her head down but her hands finally wrapped
around themselves as she placed them on her lap.
“Are you aware that the Midnight River pack destroyed Kristen’s tattoo parlor last week?” Alpha Marc asked.
“Um.. I...” she started shaking all over again as she glanced over at me.
Rolling my eyes, I got up and walked over to stand in front of her. “Sherry, look at me.” I kneeled down sol was below her eye
level.
Sherry obeyed and looked at me. Tears were in her eyes. “I want you to ignore the men.” There was some uncomfortable shifting
behind me as I knew that just irritated Alpha Marc. “Just you and me, okay? You are safe here. You will not be punished for
anything you say. No one here is going to lay a hand on you. You have my word that you will not be in trouble over anything you
tell us. You are Jacob’s mate, which makes you one of us. We take care of each other. You never have to go back there again.” I
put my hands
on hers.
Sherry looked at me as talked. She really took in everything I said and relaxed a little. “Okay.”
“Please, tell me what you know about my shop being destroyed.”
“I-I was cleaning in the bathroom. Alpha Darin walked by with Alpha Rip and were talking about Alpha
Darin and who he will take as a mate. They don’t believe in fated mates. If you aren’t what they want, they
redhead. Well, I actually don’t know if he rejected her. We can hear screams from his bedroom every
night. We aren’t allowed in his room. Since he found her, we have never seen her again. Alpha Darin... he told his dad he liked
your spark. He wanted to make you submit to him.” Tears filled her eyes again as bile rose in my throat.
“Did you hear anything else?” I asked, trying to keep my voice calm.
“No, once they realized I was there, they....”
“That’s okay, you don’t have to tell us.” I said as I gathered my thoughts. “So there are no ranking women?”
“No, even Alpha Rip’s Luna. She is the only person that doesn’t have to clean. She is in charge of making sure we do our jobs.
She is beaten everyday just like we are. If we fail, we get punished and so does she.”
“Okay. Do you know Penny here?” I asked looking over at Penny. Sherry followed my eyes and nodded.
“She is mated to Alpha Colt.”
“Correct. I am Colt’s sister. I grew up with Colt and Jacob. Penny has been my assistant for years. She has the sweetest soul.
Penny is learning her role as Luna but your new role will be the female version of Jacob. Currently, he is gam ma. That makes
you the gam ma female. In their pack, woman hold the same rank as their mates or vise verse. However, I think Colt and
everyone would agree with me when I say that you need some time to adjust to how we do things. For the first few months, I
want you to do whatever
you want to do. If you want to learn to cook, go to the kitchen. If you want to garden or help with the
orphanage, then do it. Your only job is to learn a new way of life. Jacob will treat you like the princess you
are. It will take a lot of patience and error but he was chosen for you for a reason. I personally think he
needs a good woman to knock him around a little.”
