Chapter 323 Jake

• The evening passed with little incident, a little rowdiness here and there after many drinks, much joking and plenty of food. Thankfully, we weren’t poisoned as Gabe had joked, so we would be all good for setting off to the airport tomorrow.
• The people within the pack hierarchy here actually seemed like good people, very friendly and kind. I can see Knox keeping in contact with them, and maintaining pack relations with them as additional allies despite them being halfway across the globe. Plus, the fact that the Alpha’s sister now belonged to our pack would mean there would forever be a connection there. I just find it hard to believe that such a kind pack had members like those of Rose and her family.
• I would be glad to leave though, get away from the Cartwrights and the guilt they made me feel for what had happened. I know deep down I had done the right thing, I had acted honourably to save an innocent person’s life from an unprovoked attack, and that was the right thing to do, regardless of any feelings I may or may not have for Ruby. From what we had learnt, this was not the first time Rose had attacked someone either, so why she had not been punished was beyond me. And quite honestly, she was lucky she had not been killed before. The Cartwrights were a strange family, very focused on social standing and money, not something that was of importance to me, so I would not have fitted in with them. I cannot see them being able to recover their businesses from the mess their daughters had created for them. I think it was safe to say the damage was unfixable.
