[Alpha Benson]
Dad walked up to the dining table to join me and Mom for breakfast.
As I finished having breakfast with my parents, I stood up to leave the mansion.
"Dad, Mom, I am leaving for the office," I told my parents, and they smiled.
"Alright, Benson. You can go," Dad dismissed me as he sat on the dining chair.
I picked up my briefcase to leave the house, and as I stepped out into the beautiful surroundings, my beta, Dennis Richard, arrived and bowed to me.
"Good morning, Alpha," Dennis greeted me. He wore a white shirt and black trousers and was a dark-skinned man, 24 years old. He smelled of cedarwood.
"Morning, Dennis. Have you warmed up the car like I asked you to do last week?" I asked him as I walked with him to my car.
"Yes, Alpha. I did, and the cars are ready for use," Dennis replied as we approached the cars.
"Well, I will go to the pack hospital first to see the sick werewolves. How about the training camp and the pack's school? Have you visited them and checked how my father is helping out?" I asked Dennis, who matched my height.
"No, Alpha. I have been busy with the company and tax collection in our pack. The last tax collector, David Paulo, absconded with the generated money, and we searched for him and found out he had left the pack with his family and gone to the human city farther away from us," Dennis relayed as we stood beside my car.
"David cannot abscond for long or stay away from the other packs. Werewolves and humans cannot live together for long without them finding out. Find him and bring him back. Send out his information to the other pack betas to keep watch for him," I told Dennis as I collected my car key from him and opened the door to get in.
It was a black Mercedes Benz GLC.
We were rich and lived a standard life. We had our own pack school, university, and markets.
"Alright, Alpha. I intended to leave for the hospital because I received a report that some injured werewolves were found outside pack territory. They are being treated at the pack hospital, and I have not yet confirmed if they are awake enough to be brought to your office," Dennis said once I shut my car door and looked at him.
"How many are they?" I asked him and frowned.
"About four of them," he replied, and I sighed.
"I will head to the hospital now. So you don't have to worry about going there, but ensure you get to the market and find a replacement for the old tax collector. Order the gatekeeper to unlock the gate," I told Dennis. He bowed and walked away from my car.
The engine roared to life as the ignition turned over. I drove out of the palace and headed for the pack's hospital first.
I kept my focus on the road as I drove ahead to the pack hospital.
When I arrived, I drove into the hospital grounds and parked my car.
I turned off the ignition and got out, still dressed in a brown shirt and black trousers, paired with black polished shoes.
I left my briefcase in my car and walked up to the magnificent hospital entrance and entered.
Though I hardly had sick patients here in my pack, I wanted to see the pack doctor for a DNA test for my daughter Celine.
I didn't want to make it public yet, but I desired to have the DNA test done so I would stop looking at Celine as if she were not my child. Yet I perceived her as mine. She carried an oriental scent of frankincense, but she resembled Emma, even though she had orange eyes and red hair like my mother.
"Welcome, Alpha," Dr. Chris, the pack's new doctor, greeted me as I entered the hospital lobby.
I was sure he must have perceived my scent, as I carried a strong earthy scent that I used to show my presence by secreting more pheromones to demonstrate dominance in any place I entered.
However, I caught a delicious jasmine scent that hovered around Dr. Chris's shirt, and my black eyes narrowed. I didn't want to dwell on it.
Not now. But the scent of jasmine was so welcoming that my wolf wanted to take charge and find the source of the sweet, delicious scent.
"Alpha, is everything alright?" Dr. Chris asked as he noticed me sweating, thereby secreting more of my alpha pheromones that caused everyone in the hospital lobby to bow and submit their heads to me.
I was their new Alpha, so they showed me respect all the time. But this time, my alpha aura was taking charge, and this was caused by my wolf, Odin. He was hurt and had shut me out since Emma and her wolf, Agnes, cheated on him.
"Yes. I am fine. But why do you smell of jasmine and also as if you are a woman?" I asked Dr. Chris, and his yellow eyes widened in shock.
"Oh, forgive me, Alpha Benson. I was going on a ward round with some of the stubborn new foreigners who have not yet been introduced to you. Perhaps she mistakenly covered me with her intoxicating scent, as I found out she was on scent suppressants. I removed them, and that is why I have her scent all over me," Dr. Chris explained, and my wolf grew curious to see the new foreigner who carried the delicious scent.
But I shut him out. Odin could not be interested in a foreigner. As much as I would have loved to see this foreigner with such a relaxing and inviting scent, I still needed to follow my pack protocol and ensure she was not an enemy sent to destroy my pack.
"That's fine. I am not here to check on the foreigners yet, as I have something important to discuss with you. Follow me," I told Dr. Chris, whose father had been the former pack doctor but was now retired.
"Okay, Alpha," Dr. Chris led me to his office on the first floor of the magnificent two-story building.
However, Odin charged within me and growled in my head, "Come on, Benson. We need to go and see her first."
"No, not this time, Odin. Pack rules must be adhered to," I told him and pushed him to the back of my mind. But he kept fighting for me to abandon everything I wanted to do and go to the new mate.
"No!" I shut my wolf out this time and focused on Dr. Chris, who looked at me worriedly.
"I am fine," I told Dr. Chris and entered his office with him.
We settled across from each other, and I told him why I was there.
