Training since morning was my way of proving to my father that I wasn’t done showing off — not in the wrong ways this time, but in ways that mattered. I wanted things clear between everyone, with no secrets left to rot in the shadows. A future Alpha has to see every possible outcome before it happens. And with Mishka arriving in tomorrow, I still had too damn much to do. I’d gotten better at being a gentleman with the twins lately. Many of the female staff gave me their pointers as well, and I became quite the gentleman with many of my staff. Yet with my twins.Probably because they finally stopped acting like mother’s personal spies. Father hadn’t been kind to her either. He’d been holding the line, keeping that cold, ruthless authority aimed right back at her for the way she’d treat
