Alpha Benson's POV “Dr. Chris, you have been this pack’s doctor for two years now, since your father retired. I know that you are not the one who helped my rejected mate, Emma Collins, welcome her child, who happens to be my daughter. But after what Emma did to me, I do not find her fit to be welcomed back into the palace or to become my Luna. So, that calls for our separation. “But I would like to have a DNA test done on Celine to know if she is really my daughter or maybe she belongs to someone else. You know…” I trailed off, not wanting to mention my father or brother’s name here. Dr. Chris looked at me thoughtfully, as everyone in the pack was already aware that I had rejected Emma and sent her away. She was still indoors, and all this had happened last month. But I was not going back or welcoming her back to the palace. “Okay, Alpha Benson. I can have the DNA test done and invite Emma and your child, Celine, to the hospital for the DNA test,” Dr. Chris replied, and I nodded. “Good. I will need a blood sample to know if Celine is really my blood,” I said, watching Dr. Chris, and he nodded. “You don’t have anything to worry about, Alpha Benson. I will send for my assistant or one of the nurses to send the invitation to Emma’s father’s house today,” Dr. Chris assured me. I stood up to leave his office, which was painted white and featured the anatomy of different kinds of humans and animals, most especially wolves. “Alright. I will take my leave now,” I told Dr. Chris, and he stood up and escorted me out. “Alpha Benson, would you like to see the foreigners who were brought in injured? One was from the Bright Moon Pack, and she claimed to be the Alpha’s first daughter, which I am not yet sure of. But she is an Alpha wolf. The second one is from the Dark Moon Pack, a man and an Omega. The last is a woman from the Shadow Pack,” he concluded. “All three of them are awake except for the last one, who is yet to reveal the pack she came from. That makes them three women and a man,” Dr. Chris told me as I looked at the pack members coming in and out of the hospital lobby for their treatment. They greeted me upon entering, but my focus shifted back to Dr. Chris's face. “I would like to go and see them, but I have a business meeting to attend with the neighboring pack. Dennis will be here to get them as soon as he returns from his assignments. I have to go, and don’t forget what we discussed,” I told Dr. Chris. “Understood, Alpha,” he replied. Thereafter, I marched away from the hospital lobby and walked out of the hospital. However, as I walked down to my car parked in the hospital grounds, I felt a pair of eyes watching me as I moved toward my car to get in. Taking a swift glance backward, I looked at the hospital room window, which had been left ajar, and I saw an enchanting pair of blue eyes and a beautiful, short woman standing there. As soon as her eyes locked with mine, she swiftly moved away from the opened window and hid, making my brows furrow. Odin rose again and muttered, “She is the one, Alpha. She is our mate.” My wolf got so excited after a month of shutting me out because of rejecting Emma. “Hmm,” I sighed and looked back at the open window once more, hoping the lady would peek out. But I didn’t get to see her. “Is she the Alpha’s daughter of the Bright Moon Pack that Dr. Chris spoke to me about? No way,” I muttered to myself. I unlocked my car door and got in. “Maybe she is the one. But she is mine,” Odin said, but I shook my head and told him, “Don’t be too excited. Who knows if she is also a nymph like Emma? You should be more concerned about why her father banished her. Alpha Bruce is a very disciplined man, and I am certain she must have done something bad for her father to send her away. So, don’t get too excited about her.” Odin calmed down and shut me out again. I sighed and focused my attention on the road as I drove back to the office. It was where I welcomed other pack Alphas to partner with them and discussed other matters affecting our pack. The wars had ended between the top packs after we came to a business agreement. But for the upcoming packs, their lands were either up for attack, so they were mostly on high alert in case of any invasion or intruders coming into their territory. I kept my gaze focused on the road, and a few minutes later, I arrived at the front of the company’s gate. The warriors stationed there pulled the gate open and welcomed me. “Welcome, Alpha Benson,” the two warriors said. “Thank you.” I drove my car into my company grounds and parked it. As I got out, I saw that Beta Andrew had arrived too. However, he was not alone. He had arrived with a young man who resembled him, whom I assumed was his son, Ace Lennox. I hadn't seen Ace, but I've heard so many stories about him. And I was certain that he had heard about me too. I had heard that Alpha Bruce believed in sending Ace to destroy other poor packs and wage wars against them. “Welcome, Alpha Benson. We arrived around thirty minutes ago and were told to await your arrival,” Beta Andrew said as he walked up to shake hands with me. However, Ace stood with a strict look on his face and a narrowed expression. He was seething with rage and trying to control it as his gaze swept over me. “Ace, wouldn’t you greet Alpha Benson? He is the new Alpha of this pack. Go on and submit to him,” Beta Andrew stated. But Ace looked away and replied, “Father, I am the next Alpha of the Bright Moon Pack, and you do not expect me to bow to any other werewolves.” “Hmm, what arrogance,” I muttered, and Ace glared at me. “Forgive him, Alpha Benson. He is still new to learning the Alpha’s training and business strategies. So, please overlook his rudeness.” Beta Andrew shifted his face and looked at Ace. “What has come over you?” he asked his son. Ace sniffed the air like he was trying to track a scent. His brown eyes glowed as he moved to meet me and sniffed me in front of my company. He did not care to submit to me or bow. He grasped my shirt and muttered, “Why do you smell so much like Mallory?” “Mallory?” I raised my eyebrows and wondered who he was talking about. “ACE!” Beta Andrew marched up to meet us and smacked Ace on the back of his head. “Are you crazy? How dare you speak of Mallory here? She is your rejected mate, and you are forbidden to mention her. Moreover, she is dead, and we heard that some forest animals ate her,” Beta Andrew shouted, and Ace’s gaze fell. “I am sorry, Father. I got carried away. Forgive me, Alpha Benson,” Ace quickly let go of my brown shirt and stepped back. I looked at him and sighed. “Don’t let this happen again. Else, I will cut off my pack’s partnership with yours.” “Thank you, Alpha Benson,” Beta Andrew said. But I left them and walked into my company’s building. The staff on the first floor welcomed me as I made my way to the elevator and rode up to my office on the fifth floor.
