The Alpha's Other Woman by Vielle Nye (best fiction books of all time .txt) 📖

“I’ll be right back,” I told them as I got up and followed her. They didn’t mind, but instead exchanged knowing glances.

Carrie walked in the direction of the trailer that served as a temporary office for pack and business work. I took her hand, appreciating how delicate her fingers were compared to mine. She seemed so much more breakable than me on the surface, but deep down she was seriously tough.

“You know, we really need to settle on a name for the pack, Jason. It’ll give everyone something to rally behind.” She was right, but it wasn’t that easy.

“We’ve been trying, haven’t we?” Nothing had fit so far.

She nodded. “Actually, Andrea got me thinking. What if we called it something related to your old pack?”

“Glenhaven?”

“Exactly. I mean, this is sort of the regrowth of your old pack in a way, isn’t it? Like if a tree falls down, but you plant one of its branches and it grows into a new tree.”

“That’s not a bad idea, babe.”

She smiled. “It was just a thought. I’m also tired of putting TBD in the spots for pack name on all the forms. Having a name will make us look more well established and less indecisive.”

I chuckled at that. “Well, if it will make your life easier... Glenborough? Glenclaw? Woodhaven? Greenhaven?”

She wrinkled her nose at the last suggestion. “I don’t think my old pack needs to be involved at all. Ew.”

The walk hadn’t been nearly long enough, and she climbed up a stair and turned to kiss me. I stepped closer, wanting more connection before another miserable period away from her. My wolf was way too dependent on her now, but what could I do? I threw out a few more suggestions to buy myself more seconds before she’d kick me away. “Glenmoon? Moonglen? Glenshade? Glenshadow?”

“I actually like those last ones.”

“We’ll see what the pack thinks then.”

She nodded. “Alright, I’ve got work to do. And you’ve got visitors to entertain. Off you go. I’ll see you for supper.”

My wolf complained, but I smiled as I did what she had told me to do.
