NovelOnlineJudy's POV "Alpha Levi, I wasn't expecting a phone call from you today. What honor do I have for this?" I asked, trying to sound polite though my heart was beating heavily in my chest as I waited with bated breath for him to respond.
"I wanted to follow up with you about my offer. It's been a little over a month since I last spoke to you, and I wanted to let you know that my offer still stands. My Elite Gamma Force in the Night Hawk pack is looking for a new recruit. The position is yours if you want it." My heart stopped in my chest at his offer. Things were happening so soon; I hadn't even thought about which Elite Force I wanted to take part in. So much had happened since the competition that my mind was whirling. I wanted to finish up with college before I made any actual decisions, but college was wrapping up in the next couple of weeks, which meant I needed to start thinking about this soon.
"I haven't really made any decisions yet," I admitted, not really sure what more to offer him at this time. I was conflicted; I always thought I'd be a part of Gavin's Elite Force in the Silver Crescent pack, but recent events proved that maybe that wasn't such a good idea after all. "I'm still kind of thinking over my options." "I understand that," Levi told me. "I had my Beta, Ron, email you with a benefits package along with a salary offer. Look it over and don't hesitate to use this number to keep in touch with me. The second you giveyour okay, everything will be taken care of, and I can get you on the next flight out here." "I'd still like to finish college before I join any forces," I reminded him.
"Of course. From my understanding, you're graduating in a couple of weeks. Take this tto think it over and make a decision. I look forward to hearing from you." The line went dead before I could reply. I stared at my phone, dumbfounded. I couldn't believe that just happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI swiped across the screen until I reached my email app. Sure enough, I saw Beta Ron's nat the top of my email list. I clicked on the email and scrolled through it; my eyes growing wider with each new thing I read. The benefits were unbeatable; they were even offering to pay my housing and travel expenses. I wouldn't have to pay or lift a finger to move from this region to that region. Not to mention the salary they were offeringmade my mouth dry.
Now I was facing a dilemma.
Was this really an offer I was willing to pass up? Was there anything here worth staying for? "Hey," I heard a voice from behind me. "Are you okay? You seem lost in thought." I turned to see Lukas frowning atwith a crease between his brows and a worried look on his face.
"Yeah," I told him; I debated whether or not I should tell him about the phone conversation. "Just a strange phone call." "Who was it?" He asked.
"Alpha Levi Churchill," I told him; his eyes grew wide at the name, recognition flashing in his gaze. "He's offeringa position in the Night Hawk pack, as a member of the Elite Force." "That's a huge honor, and I heard the pay for that force is incredible. Are you going to take him up on the offer?" Lukas asked, studying my face.
"I'm not sure," I admitted. "I'm thinking about it, but it's a big decision. Everyone I know is here, so leaving would be difficult." "Everyone you know is here, and they aren't going anywhere, Judy. You can always cback to visit, but this is a huge opportunity that you'd be stupid to pass up," he told me.
Before I could say anything, Beta Taylor's car pulled in front of me; I almost forgot we were standing outside the school in the parking lot.
"I'll think more about it," I told him. "I have until graduation to make a decision." With a final goodbye, I slid into the backseat of Taylor's car. Lukas waved and then turned to walk towards his own car. He's offereda ride ha few times, but I decline his offer each time.
"Was that Lukas Merriweather?" Taylor asked, his eyes following Lukas as he disappeared into his car across the parking lot.
"Yeah," I told him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTaylor was quiet for a moment, and I could tell he was thinking intently about something, his jaw ticking slightly. "What?" I asked. "Is there an issue?" There was a bite to my question that even I heard.
He shook his head like he was shaking the thought out of his mind.
He put the car in drive and pulled away from the campus. "Just didn't know you two were still friends," he replied simply.
"I mean, does it really matter?" I asked, raising my brows. "It's not like Gavin cares anymore. Once I made it clear that there was no Gavin andanymore and that Gavin had his eyes set on someone else, Lukas finally started to givethe tof day again. I'm not letting him ruin my friendship again." Taylor didn't say anything, he just nodded slowly.
The rest of the ride was quiet and a bit awkward. Later that night, as I was getting ready for bed, my phohe started to find. frowned at yet another unknown number. I mentally prepared myself for what this phone caff was about to entail.
