Chapter 0568
- Jace -
It was vitally important that we plan out our next steps. | couldn't afford to make a mistake.
We were all gathered in the living area, it can't be past 3am. We were all still awake, Mum refusing to leave
Alora's side...it won't be long before cars from Clear Waters arrive to take her home.
| keep pushing back that very thought...I had to remain focused.
| had sat with Auntie Alora in silence; wrapped in my own guilt for fucking dodging that bullet.
She saw it coming...and she didn't make any attempts to move. It's like she had accepted her fate in that very
moment.
Rosa was upstairs with Mum, refusing to leave her side...as was Ezra. All had said goodbye, all but Cleo.
She was nestled into my lap, her head resting against my chest as her breathing and heart rate finally starts to
slow down. She was close to falling asleep, yet kept fighting it.
"What of the pack members?" Orpheus asks out.
"What of them?"
"What if they rise up against you and Cleo." His concern is valid, however they were so quick in accepting
me...perhaps they were ready for a new type of leadership.
"They won't, they've already accepted me. | guess Dad being the original heir speaks volumes...it's in my blood."
"What of the Clear Waters?" Dad leans forward, his hand moving through his dark unkept locks and rubbing at
the back of his neck. We were all beyond exhausted, so much has happened since | found out back at Clear
Waters that Cleo was pregnant...that she had been put in to a position of danger...because of me.

"I don't know, | can't lead both...not whilst keeping a closer eye on this pack. That wouldn't be fair to the Clear
Waters, they deserve an alpha that can give them their all. | just can't do that now." I shrug out, the movement
making Cleo moan out.
“The Clear Waters needs an alpha
ooo
Jace, and your mother won't be able to step up again, not after this. The loss of Algra will be like losing a mate
bend...she won't recover from this." Dad was right, the loss of
Auntie Alora will be felt by all of us
for a long time...but Mum of us
will feel it
in her very being.
Part of her soul has gone...I know it, because | couldn't ever imagine losing Josie
or Jaxon. | could never recover from that.
“I've been thinking about that...what
better person to take on the legacy of the White Wolf than her daughter, the Red Wolf." Jaxon offers out, his eyes
firmly locked on our sister Josie.
"The red wolf? Really?" Josie scoffs out in reply.
"Why not. You fight like an alpha, you
think like an alpha...heck, your mate
is an alpha trainer. What betes two
people IN take an thé Ears Water
pek! Kit is alpha by blood, | can't
think of two people more better
suited." Jaxon continues, his
suggestion making complete sense.
Why hadn't | thought of that. The

"Yes, that would work..." | mutter out in agreement.
"Hang on...as much as that appeals
to me, what about you Jace Fen
Clear Wales gourlrth right, what
iftyold regret it in time." Josie

| look down to my mate, her body finally succumbing to sleep as she rests in my lap.
As well as keeping Cleo safe, | never truly felt that the Clear Waters was for me... there was something
always in the back of my mind that keptaccepting the pack, even without a Luna by my side.
| tried to create that feeling with Callie, but | would have been living a lie...in more ways than one.
Something that Jaxon would never
ever contemplate iieMecul

He never once showed any sign of hesitation.
Yet it never sat easy with me...something was always stopping me...now | understand.
