Though Preston hadn't heard Marco's outburst at the party the night before, he knew quite a few people were unhappy with Cy's decision in making him beta.  Hell, even Preston was unsure that he was fit for the role, but if Cy thought he was the best suited, then Preston would do nothing more than to prove to him that he didn't fail in his decision.  And in proving Cy was wise in his choice, hopefully, the other pack members would come around soon as well.<br/><br/>"Hey Jay," he couldn't help but light up when he saw his mate walk in, though he tried to school his expression and failed, terribly.  "I hope you slept well."  He wished he could shut up instead of making an ass of himself every time the other man talked to him.  Luckily Victoria and Cy saved him from any further embarrassment by coming in, though Preston could tell immediately that his Alpha was not happy.  He wondered if something had happened, but decided lingering on it could make his friend angrier.<br/><br/>At least when he had been in his pack, he and his future beta had worked close enough together that he knew a little bit about what the job entailed.  One of the most important priorities he had was security for the pack.  Sure they had scouts and those who roamed their borders religiously, but to Preston, it just wasn't enough.  He wanted to be out there with them, ever vigilant in protecting the pack, but he couldn't and this was the next best thing.<br/><br/>"I'd like to talk about security, I guess to start us off.  I've taken the liberty to have some motion sensors as well as motion sensor cameras installed throughout our boundaries.  These have been placed just further than our scouts roam, and are constantly monitored.  We have a constant feed, and the scouts can react much faster, as well as get information faster too."  So maybe he was a little bit paranoid, but it was always better to be safe than sorry.
