Chapter 190: Dormant Feelings

"Sam, can you do me a favor?" Graeme asked.

"Of course," he replied, standing a little straighter in response to Graeme's question.

"August is in the market alone. She's looking for something she lost last time she was there. I don't want to doubt that she will be okay on her own with the pack, but I don't want to be wrong either. Especially right now in the wake of dispatching Auden. Any immediate issues would obviously complicate things," he explained to his Beta.

"I will make sure she is safe, Alpha," Sam replied with a small smile, understanding what Graeme was wanting of him.

"Thank you, Beta," Graeme chuckled at the use of formal titles and nodded as Sam left Graeme with Sylvia and Charlotte.

"I truly appreciate you both coming today and agreeing to be two of my advising elders. It's clear already how right of a choice it is. You have helped me tremendously," Graeme stood from behind the desk and walked around to the front to more casually sit on its edge.
