Jordan fell to her knees, overwhelmed by what sat in front of her. It was a brand new, cobalt blue, 2 door Dodge Ram pickup. Her eyes filled with tears and she couldn't speak for several seconds and when the words finally came her accent was almost indecipherable.

"This can't me mine!" she sobbed "Nobody would spend this much money on me!"

Adam knew Jordan had planned on getting herself a cheep cash purchase pickup when she had saved up some money, but to him and the rest of the pack that was unacceptable. He, Kyle and several others had gotten together to find her a good truck. An omega, the rare treasure she was, deserved nothing but the best.

"We did, the pack and Kyle… we thought you deserved so much better than some cash car of questionable quality."

Jordan was trembling when Adam knelt at her side to embrace her.

"You deserve it… an omega like you is a rare treasure and we are honored you chose to come here to our pack when there are so many places you could have gone."

It took several moments for Jordan to settle down. This was the first time since she became a werewolf that she truly understood how unique and treasured her kind of werewolf was.

She could feel the truth in Adam's words feel the pack balance out so much with her joining. They had lost their lone submissive not too long before she came and the one that had been brought it wasn't sure of his place… wasn't sure he fit in. She brought in the balance and stability he couldn't with her uniqueness as an omega and with training she would be of so much more help to the pack.

She finally got to her feet and began to explore the truck. It was perfect, most of the trucks she had seen had seated 4 or more which was too much for her at this point in her life. She really didn't plan on getting into any serious relationships and being a werewolf meant pregnancies and babies were out of the question. This one sat 3 at maximum in the cab and that wouldn't be comfortable. Sure in a pinch she could put a handful of people or a werewolf or two in wolf form in the bed once the cover was rolled away but that was plenty for her.

The chrome accents set things off and kept the whole thing from looking too dark. Truly it was the perfect truck for her. The paint had a pearlescent quality to it that she adored and she mused on the fact that she couldn't have built a better truck for herself if she had tried.

"How… how did you know I like blue?" she asked her accent settling back to a decipherable level.

"You told Kyle, remember."

Jordan wiped her eyes. She had forgotten she had dropped that little detail to Kyle. Apparent he had a much better memory than she did.

"Do you need to get ready for the interview?" he asked.

"Yes…" she had almost forgotten her interview in the excitement of receiving her truck.

"I'll pay y'all back."

"Just be you and learn to use your gifts and that will be more than payment in full." Adam told her.

She started towards the house but Adam stopped her to give her the keys and have her look at the interior.

It had a grey interior and she noted, much to her convince, there were rubber floor mats already installed. He also informed her she had 2 years of satellite radio ready for her to redeem at her convenience.

"This is too much… I… I don't know what to say." She said wiping at her tears.

"Go… get ready." He told her "you've said more than enough with your expression when you saw it."

She hugged him and he placed a kiss on her forehead in an almost fatherly gesture before she went inside to get ready.

Jordan let out a deep breath as she did her makeup and went over Adam's advice in her mind as she put on her makeup. After a lot of consideration she decided to go with a nude/natural look putting emphasis on her eyes with a slight gold tinge to her eyeshadow.

She had just finished her look when Aurielle entered to check on her.

"I'm okay… well I'm nervous but I guess that is to be expected."

"You'll do fine." Aurielle assured her as she gave her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

"Thanks…" Jordan took a deep breath to steady her nerves and crossed herself, it was a gesture she rarely did since her change but it comforted her in that moment.

Jacob was pleasantly surprised when Jordan arrived about fifteen minutes before her scheduled interview. He liked that, it showed that she really wanted this job.

They were slow so he went to get the paperwork and started the interview early.

"So, I see you have prior experience as a barista." He said looking at her paperwork.

"Yes sir." She almost cringed at how thick her accent came out.

"So what part of New Orleans did you grow up in?"

"French Quarter" she replied simply. "My grandma lived with us so we all grew up speaking French from an early age."

"I spoke to the last manager you worked for in New Orleans and she spoke very highly of you. She was sad to see you go but she said she could understand why you felt the need to leave. Do you think you could tell me why she would say that?"

When she looked visibly uncomfortable he gave her a reassuring smile.

"Your answer won't effect your chances to get a job here… she gave you a glowing recommendation."

"My baby sister… she… she died by suicide not too long ago." She replied rubbing her arm with her hand.

"I'm very sorry to hear that…" he said genuinely, his brown eyes soft.

Jacob was a baby-faced man that was easily mistaken for being sixteen or seventeen even though he was almost thirty. His longish, sandy blonde hair only made him look younger.

"You had an interview over the phone with my boss and he liked what he heard from you and your former boss. So that leads me to the big question…" he paused to lend a bit of tension to the question.

"Do you think you could be here Wednesday at nine am? I want you wearing a white dress shirt, black slacks and slip resistant black shoes. You will receive 2 aprons with out logo, a name tag when you get here. Make sure your hair is pulled back securely and you should be fine."

"Sure…" Jordan was floored "…I'll be here."

They shook hands and she left still in shock. She dialed Adam's cell phone as she closed the door to her truck.

"How did it go?" he asked.

"Apparently I made a good impression on my phone interview last week because they hired me on the spot!" she said.

"Congratulations" he said "You have a package here from Adrian and your former pack."
