Chapter 415

415-The Alpha King Is A Dick*

“Look! You are already taking care of pack matters. It is not like you cannot fight some rogues if they try to enter the border. And besides, you won’t be alone. You will have the warriors to help you with everything as well.” I was able to convince her that this was the only way to save the pack from going under Corbin.

If Thiago was alive today, he would have died at the thought of Corbin taking over his pack. His pack suffered because of his parents. He shouldn’t even be around the Shadow Winder Pack. But that’s who Corbin was. Just like his father, he wanted to have what he couldn’t get.

“Okay!” Janet closed her eyes and let out a sigh, trying to calm down before she made a decision. I knew she was capable of taking the in–charge. She had trained side by side with Thiago. She is intelligent and can fight. What else is needed?

“I will plan another meeting soon so that we can discuss the coronation and already apply for a title shift for you,” I said, grabbing all the files and setting them aside. A little knock on the door diverted our attention from the arrival of the devil himself.

“Ah! Luna Enya is here.” Corbin peered inside the office, taking my breath away. I didn’t imagine seeing him in the pack. The instant arrival of the frown on my face was from the night when he beat me up.

“And she looks very angry too,” Corbin folded his arms over his chest and said with a cheeky smile on his lips.

“What are you here for?” I asked instead of Janet, who was not sure how to react to the Alpha King’s arrival.

“I am here to discuss the safety of this pack,” he said, walking past me and reaching Janet. I am sure he was doing this to get on my nerves, but I would not let him scare her away.

“Do you have the list of the warriors that guard the borders every day?” Corbin asked her, and she nodded to him.

“Why do you want to see the list? We still have a few months before the pack is open for sale,” I said, rolling my eyes as I talked about the rules Corbin’s father has made. I was so shitty of him to put packs on sale after the demise or fall of their alphas.

“Just two months. I don’t see what you guys can possibly do in two months. It is not like you can give birth to an alpha and make him turn 18 in two months,” Corbin scoffed, turning around to me and shrugging his shoulders to annoy me. I eyed at Janet to give him the files so that he can leave sooner.

He might be getting excited to take over this pack, but I will not let this happen.

“Hm! As expected!” Corbin read through the papers, sitting on the chair where Thiago was supposed to sit, and frowned.

“A she–wolf cannot run a pack,” he shook his head, trying to demotivate Janet.

“True! That’s why we need a new Alpha King,” I whispered, rolling my eyes at him.

“What was that?” he asked, pulling his feet off the table and straightening his posture.

“As a male alpha, you should be able to get it the first time.” I scoffed and smiled sarcastically, lowering my face to avoid his gaze. This was the best I could do while being in human skin.

“You know what intrigues me?” He spoke to get our attention.

“When I’ll get to see the look on your faces once the new rules roll out,” he said in a confident tone. The level of deceit in his voice froze me for a minute.

“You will love the new rules,” he added just to make sure we got the hint.

“What new rules?” I couldn’t hold the curiosity in me and ended up asking him.

He smirked a little and then licked his lips, leaning back against the chair and fixing his eyes on me.

“You will see,” he uttered, “anyway, I’m done here. I will leave you two to enjoy.” He jumped out of the chair and almost startled us.

I stepped aside to give him a path, and when he walked past me, he slowed down only a little to spare me a glance before he sped out of the exit again.

“What an asshole!” Janet grunted, complaining about his attitude.

“I am not sure what new rules he made but it was sketchy how he talked about them,” I stroked my chin, not believing any rules made by him would benefit anyone else but him.

“What can we do other than wait for the official announcement?” Janet sighed, gathering up her stuff and getting ready to leave.

“You are staying for dinner, right?” she asked when walking out of the office with me.

“No! Maynard and Christian will be home already. I will have to get home and prepare dinner quickly, but not before I pay a visit to his grave,” I said, lowering my face when talking about Thiago.

“Why did Lazlo fire all the chefs? I mean, the chefs are still working for the pack; why not for the mansion? It doesn’t make any sense.” She complained, matching my pace.

“He said he likes my cooking,” I said, realizing what a big liar he was because, when he fired the chef, I didn’t even know how to cook the simplest dishes at that time.

“That is one way to cage someone,” Janet whispered, but I didn’t ask her to explain her comment. I knew what she meant, and somewhere along the lines, I believed she was right.

“Hey, take care!” I gave her a hug and walked over to the cemetery to sit down with Thiago’s grave and spend time with someone I know for sure loved me the most.

It was a fairly frosty night, and the sight of his grave made me uncomfortable just like every other time. I can never get used to this feeling.
