It's been 2 days since Dara and I went to report what Giavonna told Dara. I feel bad for Brandon. He finds out his best friend and Beta-to-be has been abusing his power and assaulting a she-wolf in our pack and now he has to confront him. Who knows how many more she-wolves he has done this to? I know Dara and I planned on outing Beta Josiah and Gamma Tilden but we didn't know about the s****l assault. I don't think Gamma Tilden would be as stupid as Beta Josiah but then again, he changed over the years and the once sweet and caring Tilden became Josiah's shadow. After my shift at the bookstore, I headed to the packhouse to start kitchen duties. I put my apron on and looked at the schedule and saw that my name wasn't on it. I walked over to Kingsley and asked what was going on.
"Alpha Brandon changed the schedule Georgia. He didn't say why but he took you off and gave Dara a specific job. Dara is now his permanent food runner. I think Dara is banging our Alpha." Kingsley says as she leans on the counter and I bust out laughing.
"I'm sorry but I highly doubt Dara and messing with the Alpha. Dara doesn't find him that attractive." I say.
"Girl, how could she not find him attractive? Look at him. He is goddess's gift to she-wolves. If Dara really doesn't find Alpha Brandon attractive, she must be into chicks." Kingsley says.
"Trust me, Kingsley, I have known Dara my whole life and I know she isn't into chicks. She just doesn't find him as appealing as everyone else does. I mean we all know he is a good-looking man but not everyone wants to drop their panties for him. I know I am one of those who doesn't." I say and I instantly regret saying it.
"So, I'm good-looking?" Brandon says as he comes into the kitchen.
"Alpha." I say as I bow.
"Good evening ladies. I wanted to pop in and see how things were going. I know you all are busy so I won't keep you long. I wanted to let you all know I am going to be changing some stuff within the pack and I wanted you all to be part of it. If you have anything you would like to talk about or any complaints that need to be addressed, please come see me in my office. Georgia, may I have word with you?" Brandon says as he turns toward me.
"Of course, Alpha." I say as I leave the kitchen.
We walk up to his office and I can't help but blush. I know he is staring at me but I can't bring myself to make eye contact. I'm pretty sure he heard what I said about she-wolves dropping their panties and I am pretty sure he knows what I said was bullsh*t. I know he sensed my arousal the other night. It's getting harder for me to hide that I am attracted to him and hard to hide that he affects me. I feel bad that I still haven't given him an answer on accepting him as my mate but I like the friendship we have right now. I know he said he was ok with being friends until I was ready to decide and I know I said I would make my decision once Thea talked to the pack she-wolves but I like getting to know the real Brandon and not just what I have seen of him as an Alpha.
"Georgia, I wanted to talk to you about the kitchen schedule. I know you were supposed to go in today but I don't feel it is right for my mate to have to work in the kitchen. I know you said you needed time with deciding what you want to do but until you do, I want you to be able to enjoy your evenings after your shift at the bookstore." He says.
"I appreciate that Brandon but I don't feel right about being taken off the schedule. I haven't decided if I want to be the Luna yet and until I do, I want to do my part around the pack even if it means working in the kitchen." I say.
"Ok, what if I was to give you a different job?" He asks.
"A different job? Like what?"
"I need someone to help me out with all my paperwork. Someone to keep up with my contracts and help me keep everything organized. Would you be interested in doing that?" He asks.
"You mean you want me to be your secretary?"
"I guess you could call it that. I need help keeping track of everything. I suck at filing and Beta Jonas has been doing this for a long time. I want to take some of the load off of him so he can get ready to retire. I can't depend on Josiah to help with it and now that I am having to investigate him for the assault on Giavonna, I don't have time to find anyone else suitable to help me." He says.
"I mean I guess I could help you out. Thank you for the offer, Brandon. When do you want me to start?" I asked.
"Tomorrow if you are free after your shift at the bookstore." He says.
"Ok. I will be here around 5. See you then."
"Georgia, wait." He says as I am walking to the door.
As I turn around to face him, he comes out from around his desk and walks up to me. He grabs me by the waist and I melt. I just know he is going to kiss me but he doesn't. He leans in and takes in my scent and hugs me.
"Thank you for doing this for me." He says as he pulls away.
"You're welcome. " I somehow manage to say and I leave his office.
When I close the door to his office I lean back against the wall and close my eyes. My cheeks feel like they are on fire and I am all flustered. Being that close to him had me wanting to give in but I can't. Not yet. I left the packhouse and went to visit my parent's graves.
