Chapter 414


    414-The Royal Beta Can Rule.


    My luck was really scarred because the day I was nning to speak to Maynard


    and talk to him about what Christina had told me, he had to move back to his


    pack for two days. I took it as a sign and decided not to talk to him at all. I would


    wait for him to speak to me after Christina talks to him about divorce.


    It was selfish of me to even consider her offer, but at this point, I badly needed


    to get out of this marriage. Lazio was driving me crazy, and the process wasn’t


    even slow.


    ’Lazio! I was meaning to talk to you about something/ I said, clearing my throat


    to get his attention. He was too busy on his phone while the TV was ying


    before us.


    ‘Hm?’ He didn’t look away from his phone when responding to me.


    “It’s 15; I want to visit Thiago’s pack.” I reminded him of the deal we have made.


    Every 15 days, I check in on his pack and try to assist them with whatever they


    Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    require. The pack has been running without an alpha, so I don’t know how much


    longer it could stay like that.


    Nov/ that Corbin had started a war with me, I feared he would take his anger out


    on Thiago’s pack.


    ’Okay!” Lazio answered, still not looking at me. He never once asked how I was


    feeling. After Maynard and Christina left, I had to start doing the chores again


    and force myself to forget about my sickness and get to work.


    ‘I was thinking maybe you can join me this time?” I requested, and he finally put


    his phone down.


    ‘Why would I do that?” he asked, shaking his leg anxiously while staring at my


    face.


    ‘You are an alpha. You have a better understanding of how to keep a pack and


    take care of the matters,’ I said, reminding him Thiago’s pack is missing an


    alpha now.


    ‘Oh! You finally remembered that I am the alpha. You never asked me to


    apany you all the previous years when you visited his pack. Did you mess


    up something there?’ He raised his brow, using a sarcastic tone, and made me


    regret even requesting him. If Maynard was here, I would have asked him, but


    now I was left with Lazio, so I had to swallow my ego and request that he help


    me take care of Thiago’s pack.


    ’It is not like that. You have told me that you are not ready to take care of


    another pack. But now that you are already thinking about taking over some of


    the freends, why not take Thiago’s pack under you and rule the pack? Their


    pack is actually a very rich Ian—,” I was yammering with a lot of hopes and


    expectations when his scoff silenced me.


    ‘Just say you don’t want Corbin to take over Thiago’s pack. You don’t care about


    my business n, it is all about what you want.” He shook his head when he


    taunted me and called me selfish yet again in hidden words.


    ‘What is going on with you, Lazio? Why can’t we talk without starting a war?


    Where did the Lazio I used to know go to?” I asked, feeling exhausted by his


    attitude. He was behaving like a total stranger to me.


    I miss Lazio, who was always down to earth and chilled with me. Sure, he had


    his moments, but he would still ept his faults ande back to me. This new


    him was something I didn’t even want to spend a minute with.


    ‘Ask yourself,” he said as he grabbed his phone and exited the living room. The


    conversation never met a solution.


    I let out a sigh and decided to go alone. Just because he doesn’t care anymore


    doesn’t mean I will let them suffer alone.


    I got very little sleep before leaving for the shadow winder pack. Lazio was


    already napping, so I didn’t get a chance to meet him. I was going toe back


    for the night. My stay in Thiago’s pack would usuallyst for a few hours only, as


    I was not allowed to stay in his pack for the night.


    ’Hey!” The instant I got out of the car, I found J throwing her arms around


    me and pulling me into a hug. “Wait! what happened to you?” She pulled back


    and cupped my face in her hands.


    I saw the pack members surrounding me with bouquets in their hands and


    smiles on their faces.


    ‘I am just a little sick, nothing too crazy,” I tried to y it off, heading over to the


    pack members and epting their gifts. This pack made me feel like this is


    what home must feel like.


    They were a bit harsh to me in the beginning, and now I know why. Somewhere


    along the line, they knew my parents had be the reason behind their Alpha


    and Luna’s misery. But after realizing I was nothing like my parents and had


    even taken good care of Thiago, they epted me with open arms.


    ‘Why can’t you stay here for the night? We want to take care of you,” J


    pouted,ining, as she followed me to the office.


    ‘The rules, baby! Besides, I am sure I will be fine. I just need to take a look over


    everything and make a n for the coronation next month,” I said, and a frown


    covered her forehead.


    ’Coronation? There is no alpha in this pack.” She sounded defeated when


    talking about not having a ruler to save them from Corbin’s dirty eyes.


    ’True! But we still have a Royal Beta, second inmand,’ I said, and her jaw


    met the floor. I am sure nobody gave it a thought, but I did some research and


    realized it was indeed possible for the royal beta to lead the pack after the


    demise of their alpha.


    ’That is me, Enya, and I don’t know how I can take care of such an enormous


    pack,” she said, looking scared even at the thought of messing up.


    ’There is no need to fret. You have been taking care of the pack, anyway. And I’ll


    be here beside you whenever you need me,” I promised her, and in the back of


    my mind, I realized I also need someone to apany me whenever I need


    someone, like a suitable mate.
