Free Jordan's Misunderstanding by Jana Leigh

someone in the background. “You going home?”
    “Yeah, be there in ten.” Romy said.
    “Someone is already on their way.” Gorge said.
    They continued talking briefly and then Romy hung up the phone. “Jordan, our Prime would like to extend his congratulations and also an invitation to his house for dinner tomorrow.”
    Jordan who was still crying nodded and whispered, “Whatever.” Larkin pulled her tighter against him and sighed. He hated that his mate had to go through that. It sucked. He could not believe her family, the arrogance that they all showed. Like it was okay to lie to Jordan, and not tell her who she was.

Chapter 8
    Devon stood at the door watching the car drive away and felt heaviness in his heart.
    Wow, this went really bad. Sid was pissed, his mother and father-in-law were crying and his brother-in-laws were cussing at the car as it left. How the hell had this gone so wrong?
    He approached his mates who were standing in the doorway talking. Casey was trying to calm Sid down; her huge belly was making it hard to hug him like it appeared she wanted to. He smiled and went to his mate and put his hand on her stomach. “Case, maybe you should go and lay down for a while. Today was a long day with the flight and all.”
    “Don"t you tell me to go and lay down like nothing has happened! Hell, Jordan"s life just fell apart before our eyes, she left with people we don"t even know, and they are cats to boot! Jo is gonna freak when we tell her that her father is a murderer and I don"t even want to think about Cami, Quin and Jaden! This is a fucking mess!” She yelled.
    Devon grimaced, when Casey got pissed she screamed. Then her stomach started the whole glowing thing because their child thought their mother was in danger and they responded. They had noticed over the last few weeks the child she was carrying was very in tune with the emotions of the people around.
    “Casey, I was just trying to make sure you were okay.” Devon said softly. He was a large man and it always surprised her and the rest of the Council how gentle and carrying he was for Casey and Sid. In fact, Jaden took great pleasure in calling him the gentle giant.
    He, of course, kicked his ass for that but did not leave marks so his little Alpha female would yell.
    “I have to call Cami.” Casey said and turned back to go into the house. “And don"t try to stop me.” She called over her shoulder and Devon shook his head. All the damn females on the New Council were best friends. It was scary how alike they were. They talked and planned things. Devon and the rest of the men just held their breaths and hoped that they did not hurt themselves.
    “Would it matter if I asked you to wait until I called Quin?” Devon called out.
    “No.” Casey said and continued to walk. He saw her pull her phone out of her pocket as she waddled into the living room.
    Devon leaned in and kissed Sid. “I am sorry that went down like that. We need to call the Alphas.”
    Sid nodded and followed him in to the office that was in the back of the house. They would have privacy there. They shut the door and Devon pulled out his phone and called his Alpha"s office.
    “Dude, I know. Cami is on the phone yelling about stupid men and blah blah. Can"t you control your mate? It would be nice if for once I would find out something that was important and pertaining to the Pack before my mate.” Quin said grumpily into the phone. Devon closed his eyes, pinched his nose with two fingers, and shook his head.
    “Sorry, they have each other on fucking speed dial. I was looking for privacy unlike my mate who is sitting in the front living room talking to Cami.” Devon laughed.
    Sid groaned. “Quin, this is really fucked up here.”
    “Tell me.” Quin ordered and sat in silence as they told him what Jordan had revealed.
    Quin did not say anything for a minute after they were finished and then said, “Are you sure? Oliver would have told us. I am sure he would never
