Beckham POV
To say I'm shocked when Jayden speaks on my behalf is an understatement. I'm not naive enough to think that he forgives me for not returning, but I'm glad he understands why I left. I pray that over time I can prove to him how sorry I am. That I can be the kind of brother that he knows will be there when he needs me. When he calls me the rightful heir of the Blue Crescent pack, I fight back the lump that forms in my throat.
I don't deserve what he just did but, unlike me, he put the pack first. He put aside his anger and hurt. If I thought for one second he wanted to be Alpha, I would insist he retain the title. Right now, he deserves it more than I do. I make a vow to myself to make my brothers proud. I will strive every day to be the leader that the pack deserves. Barrett
