The Shadow Alpha
CHAPTER SIX

“Allie Cat, please come to my office. I need to speak to you." Alpha Jamie called through the mindlink; I stood up off my bed and walked to his office, wondering what it was he needed, he nevercalled me to his office unless it was something serious.

My thoughts came to a halt when I caught sight of Alpha Jamie seated on the couch. After closingthe door behind me, I moved to take a seat beside him.

"You wanted to see me?” he nodded and without preamble he began.

"You have come to be a vital part of this pack in the six months that you have been here, Allison. Itseems almost as if something was missing in all the time that you were not here.” I smiled at that; Ihave never felt happier anywhere else.

"Ever since I met you in the forest that day, I have liked you. You reminded me of someone thatmeant a lot to me and still does. I'm sure you have noticed how much older I am that my Beta andTheta and there is a reason for that.” His grave tone worried me, for the first time since I'd met thisman, he looked unhappy.

Memories of my father tickling me while I screamed with laughter and my mother making myfavourite hot chocolate at midnight, rushed to the forefront of my mind. I was blinded by the fewmemories I had of my parents, memories I tried hard to hold onto, but somehow recalled less andless over the years.

“I- I'm sorry.” A sob escaped my lips as I shot up from my seat and made a beeline for the door, butstopped short with my hand on the doorknob.

My eyes shut tight, allowing the tears to spill. Opening them, I turned to see Alpha Jamie seated inthe same spot with his head in his hands.

I might never have mentioned it to him but, I looked up to Alpha Jamie. The more I stared at him,the more I realised how much of an impact he's had on my life in the past six months. Sitting beforeme was a man who believed in me, a man who nurtured me and comforted me. Without either of usrealising it, he treated me the way a father would his daughter.

“I would be honoured to call you my father.” I sniffed. His eyes shot up in shock, as if he didn't knowI was still in the room.

“Allison...” he stood up.

“I know that Luna Sasha would be proud of the man you became after you lost them. Thank you somuch for everything you have done for me, I cannot ever express how much happiness has comeinto my life since meeting you and the pack. Thank you. Thank you so much.” I cried and moved tohug him

“Shh, don't cry.” He held me tightly against his chest; I could feel his heart beating against my cheekat a steady pace.

“Thank you for everything... Papa Jamie.” I spoke timidly against his cheek and felt his arms tightenaround me, placing a kiss on my head.
