Jas made his way into the garden, and Damon stood up to et him.
The two of them talked before breakfast, and Damon told Jas about the situation with Nora.
Jas was not surprised to hear that Nora found her way into Damon's study when no one else was around, but he didn't expect that Nora would end up in the dungeon. That only confird Jas' guess how Talia was important. Very important.
Jas also respected the fact that Damon rejected Nora. Jas knew very well that his father never refused a free al.
Damon told Jas to include in his (aka George's) daily report how Nora was disrespectful toward Alpha Damon and that she was sent to the dungeon to reflect on her actions, per request from Damon's future Luna.
Of course, Alpha Edward will think that the future Luna is Marcy, and by the ti that's clarified, Damon will secure Talia's position and protection.
"Done?", Damon asked, and Jas nodded in response. "Any problems?"
"No problems. I already got confirmation that things are progressing well. Did you arrange for the things I asked?"
Damon's evaluation of Jas changed. He was not only observant, but also calculative, smart, proactive, and he knew how to ask for what he wanted.
The thing was that Damon didn't ask Jas to confirm with Alpha Edward anything, yet Jas did it on his own.
Damon thought how having that youngster on his side would be a good thing, but if Jas turns against him, it could be dangerous. However, they already started this dance, and the only thing Damon could do is to keep his eyes on Jas and stay vigilant.
"You can head out after breakfast.", Damon said. "Until then, you should get to know guys who will accompany you."
Damon's eyes lost focus for a mont and then he turned to look at the main entry. A second later, three figures erged.
They were three teenagers, two boys, and a girl. They all looked to be about Jas' age.
"Jas", Damon called. "These are Zack, Eric, and Petra. They might be young, but they are my junior warriors and they each have qualifications you asked for. Zack and Eric can drive, Petra will get her license after she turns sixteen years old. In addition, they all went to human town at least a few tis, and they will double as your bodyguards. I assud that you would prefer this arrangent compared to having a few older guys going with you."
Jas nodded in approval and listened to the instructions Damon gave to the three teens.
"You have the list of places Jas wants to visit. It is not set in stone, as you are welco to suggest alternatives and make adjustnts as needed. If there is any ergency, let know. Keep your phones on, so we can track you with GPS if anything happens unexpectedly. When you are in human town, he will not be Jas, the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack. There, he will be Jas, your friend. Don't stand out, don't cause trouble, but above all, don't let anyone bully you and prioritize safety. If Jas is pleased with your performance today, you will get to accompany him tomorrow as well."
They all nodded in understanding, and Damon gestured toward the table with food while saying, "Help yourself with breakfast. When you are done, you are free to leave."
With that, Damon returned to his table.
Jas shook hands with three teens and they exchanged nas while assessing each other.
Zack looked like a quiet guy who spoke only when spoken to.
Erik had a big smile on his face, and the only thing bigger was the lens of the cara that was hanging around his neck.
Petra was a girl with a hair full of curly brown hair, and her keen gaze told Jas that she shouldn't be underestimated.
Jas didn't realize that he smiled brightly while talking with his three companions for the day. While imagining his days ahead, Jas always saw himself doing things alone, while one or two older guys stood at the back and watched him. But with three teens, Jas will look like he is hanging out with friends.
Who knows, maybe he actually makes friends? That would be first.
At the Red Moon pack, he is surrounded by trainers and tutors, with George being among the youngest ones. Teens that are Jas' age are looking at him like he is so untouchable royalty because status and rankings are strictly respected in the Red Moon pack.
Jas found it refreshing to be able to engage in conversation with kids his age and they didn't look like they swallowed a stick.

Jas, Petra, Erik, and Zack got food and sat at a table that was prepared for them.
"You must have these feasts often.", Petra said while gesturing toward the table that was full of breakfast items. Her plate had the most food piled up among the others.
"Not really.", Jas said. When he saw that Petra's curious gaze was directed at him, Jas added, "I mostly study and train and days are the sa. This is different." Very different.
Jas realized that they probably think he has a super exciting life as the future Alpha of the Red Moon pack, and he really didn't want to disappoint them, so he decided to stir the conversation in a different direction.
"Alpha Damon said you are junior warriors. What does that an?", Jas asked.
To his surprise, it was the silent Zack who responded, "At the age of sixteen, students who perform well in school get a chance to start training, assuming we pass the physical and ntal exams."
Zack opened his mouth to say more, but Jas raised his hand, indicating that he had a question.
When Jas saw that Zack, Erik, and Petra looked at him strangely, Jas cursed himself. This was a habit he got from his tutoring, don't speak without permission, and he just asked for permission to speak.
Jas wished to disappear. Who talks to peers by raising hands to announce he wants a turn? How embarrassing.
Jas cleared his throat awkwardly before asking, "You need to have good grades and pass exams in order to beco a warrior?"
They all nodded in confirmation, and Zack corrected Jas, "Junior warrior. We attend training and get evaluated based on our performance, however, we don't get official duties until we finish high school, and there are additional tests we need to take, both physical, ntal, and emotional…"
Jas thought how all that was fascinating.
In the Red Moon pack, it's assud that everyone will start training by the ti they are ten years old, and if they don't show promising results early on, they will be dismissed from the path to beco warriors and will get labeled as Ogas.
Compared to that, in the Dark Howlers pack, Alpha Damon was prioritizing regular education and one must be an exemplary student if he/she gets to train before finishing high school.
This concept was novel for Jas and he was eager to find out more.
