Chapter 6

“I’m Amanda, and I’ve been assigned to help you process the unusual circumstances you’ve found yourselves in,” she began, pulling a chair over between the two beds. “Let’s start with introductions.”

“Jake Nelson.”

“Julie Rowan and my husband Ed.”

Amanda shook their hands. “You’re David’s guardians, correct?”

“His aunt and uncle, yes.”

Finally she got to him. Save the omega for last, of course. Like his aunt and uncle—and for that matter most of the human population - Amanda was a beta. He hoped she was a compassionate one or she’d only make the whole mess worse.

“Have you spoken about your options yet?” asked Amanda, taking a seat.

Jake was the first to speak. “Not much beyond establishing that I’ll consider claiming David if he wants and I’m not an abusive bastard.”
