Aleena’s POV
.
“So, what have you decided?” he asked while having dinner.
“About?”
“About your decision about what you want to do next? Either you will have to choose to become an Alpha of the silver moon pack or Beta female of the stone moon pack.”
Beta Female
I didn’t want this title.
I knew my nature and choice. Anything less than Alpha was not my thing. I wasn’t someone who could take orders from someone. It was more like I would like to open my own business and be my own boss rather than working under any MNC as someone else as my boss.
“I won’t mind what your answer is as long as you’re telling the truth.”, he added when I didn’t reply to him for a while.
“I want to be an Alpha. I don’t think Beta is my thing.”, I said, on which he raised his brow. “I mean to say that I can’t take orders from someone else. I want to be my own boss.”
“Okay! That’s what you want, but do you think you can handle that position? Because along with powers and positions, there come a lot of responsibilities as well. For example, every poor wants to be rich, but not every poor wants to work hard for it. That’s why I want to tell you all the pros and cons of being both Alpha and the Beta female! I’m sure you would have seen dad how busy he used to be handling all the duties and responsibilities as Alpha, but if you plan to spend all your life a Beta Female, then I will make sure to handle all your work on me, and that can make your life easier and tension free.”
I frowned, hearing his point.
“I’m not lazy, lad, and I’m also not afraid to work.”, I muttered. “Plus, you will be there by my side in this decision, right?” I asked because he couldn’t be the Beta of this pack and Co-Alpha of Silver Moon Pack at the same time. It was not that he was not allowed to handle two positions at the same time. It was just that he would be overloaded with so much work.
“Do you want me to choose you over my family?” he asked. Okay! I didn’t think about it.
What now?
I bit my lip and thought for a while before speaking. “I’m not asking to break all your ties from them. We will be living hardly an hour away from here.”, I replied, not sure I would be able to convince him about it or not.
“I was just kidding.”, he grinned, on which I threw daggers at him with my eyes. “When you left the table after the breakfast, we also discussed this option, and neither my family nor I have any problem with me moving out with you at Silver Moon pack.”
“Really?”
“Obviously, when a woman can leave everything behind to live with her mate, then why can’t a man do the same for his mate? Moreover, just like you said, we will be living hardly an hour away from here. Also, mom, dad, aunt, uncle, Nora, Paige, and Ryan come to visit us or stay with us as well. Like they can stay here for six months and spend the other six months with us.”
“Hmm.” I nodded my head with the thought of staying with family.
I wasn’t someone who enjoyed staying with family.
“I know, you have spent your life in the boarding school, that’s why you are not a big fan of a joint family but don’t worry, our family is not the nosy one. We can have our ME time always.”
“But…”
“See, Lina! No family is perfect. We argue we fight. We even stop talking to each other at times, but in the end, family is family. The love will always be there. If you are not getting the things in that way, then think about things keeping us as parents and five and six pups of ours! It is obvious they will fight with one another and sometimes hit each other. Just like our fingers, each one of them will be different from one other, but what matters, in the end, is endless love between them even if they won’t be the same.”
“I get it.” I really did.
“And if you want to be an Alpha, then you will also keep in your mind that you will have to think about your pack and pack members before you. And unfortunately, your nature is to keep yourself before anyone.”
“I’m not hungry anymore.”, I said and started to leave.
“Don’t waste the food, Lina. You weren’t allowed to have these when you were in the cell.”, he said, more like order. “Spoiling you with love and care in other things, but I won’t entertain your bad manners.”, he warned.
“I told you. I’m not hungry anymore.”, I growled before walking toward our room.
I didn’t feel him following me, so I sighed in relief.
‘You shouldn’t have done that, Aleena. He would have felt bad after all. He prepared everything with so much effort. Moreover, why are you mad in the first place? It wasn’t that he was saying anything wrong.’, Leia said when I sat on the bed.
A part of me knew that I was wrong here at this place, but I was just being stubborn to accept it.
After a while, the door of our room opened widely, and taking big steps, Stephen reached near me.
“Come with me!” he said, grabbing my wrist.
“Where?” I asked, but he didn’t answer me. “Stephen”
“Do you trust me?” he asked.
“I … I do.”
“Then come with me without questioning anything.”, he said in a serious tone. I nodded my head and let him take me wherever he wanted to. He opened the co-pilot seat for me, and I hopped inside his car. And the moment I did, I smelt meatballs and spaghetti. I turned my head and saw packed food parcels of meatballs and spaghetti.
By that time, he had grabbed the seat on the pilot seat. I wasn’t a fool to understand where we were going at this moment! Because he had done the same thing when we couldn’t get a chance to eat breakfast. He drives the car toward the human world.
When we spotted homeless people on the street, he stopped the car.
“Go and serve them these parcels.”, he said, pointing to five parcels that were in the backseat.
“I will do that?” I asked in shock.
“Yes! To succeed in your life, you need luck and blessings. Your luck is in your favor but not the blessings. So, go on! Do some good words, and tomorrow is a big day for you.”, he said. I reluctantly agreed and stepped out of the car and grabbed all the parcels.
