The next week went by slowly. We had not received a single message from Waylon. “Are you sure we shouldn’t message him again?” I asked as we sat around the table in the war room. “No Brandon, Eloise never messaged him after she was given a task. She would complete the task and wait for his communication.” Mateo told me. “How is choosing a new Beta coming?” Bryan asked me. “Not good. I don’t even know where to start.” I said, putting my head in my hands. “I want somebody I can trust, but a beta and Alpha are meant to be close. Other than Zack, I'm not close to any one person. I spent the last year just trying to get things back in line.” “What about Demetri?” Bryan asked. “Tiffany would be your female beta and you are close to her.” “You would be OK with him becoming my beta?”
