Days without Katie and Jake feel surreal. We’re all different. We don’t talk as much. We don’t laugh at all. We’re focused on training for the next battle to come. But our thoughts are with our friends, who have left to take care of their pack.
On the day they departed from the Seminary, Jake practically broke down in front of us all, as we were saying goodbye. He’s shown how vulnerable he actually is, expressing his feeling of powerlessness. He always thought his father would be there to guide him, when he became the alpha. Now his mother is all that’s left.
I was moved when Marcus assured him that his own dad will be there for him, whatever he needed. And that he knew it wouldn’t be the same as having his own father by his side, but that he’s sure he’ll try his best to fit in the role.
