Chapter 303 Jake

• The five of us are meeting outside of our homes, the guys saying goodbye to their mates. Lots of sad faces as they leave their mates and their children. Gabe is definitely unsure about leaving Esme, which seems unlike him, he is normally fine going away, usually quite enthusiastic about it actually, he loves travelling, always has, so something is going on with him. I will have to ask if he is ok. I wonder if he is a little shaken by all of the stuff that happened with Ruby? I can understand that.
• I feel sick with nerves at the prospect of travelling over to Rose’s pack, to tell them what has happened. But Knox has informed them we were coming, or their Alpha at the least. He had briefly spoken to their Alpha on a number of occasions, from what I could gather. Surely they had to see that we were terrible people. Or I was. I was the cause of all of this.
• Manny had his warrior head on. I could see that a mile away, he had given his boys a hug and was saying goodbye to Lola. He was acting like he was going off to battle. I am hoping that it is nothing like that. Not because of me. I do not want to be the cause of a battle for our pack. That is the last thing I want to happen. Lola smiled sweetly at her mate, with the baby in her arms. She had flourished in confidence since being his mate, it had been lovely to see, the happiness between them so evident to anyone. She was confident in being a Mama to their sons, and seemed fine with Manny going away, likely because she knew we should not be long, her own Mama coming to stay with her while we were away, no doubt to help with the little ones.
