Micah POV.
The run was long, I had to keep pushing myself, Joshua wasn’t taking it easy on me, he was taunting me with his moves, showing off how strong he is compared to me, we both spend most of our life training, but him trying to show off never gets old, he’ll always try to over-speed me, to win the fight, although he knows it never ends well for me.
After the run we all went back to the house, I needed a second shower, only this time, I waited for the water to get hot, I couldn’t take any more coldness, the world was cold enough, I couldn’t take any more coldness, it’s over, I can’t take any more of that, the hot water fell over my body.
My burned shoulders hurt a lot, I gritted my teeth in pain, the hot water hurt, but it did well warming my soul, I didn’t want to leave the hot water, I was enjoying the water way too much, but then there was a knock on my door, interrupting my only happiness, I turned the water off and sighed, it’s time to come out.
“Yes?” I answer whoever is outside, although I did have a good idea who might be knocking on my door.
“Alpha waiting for us,” Joshua says, I knew it was him, I groaned, and got out of the shower, I only had my towel in with me, I wrapped the towel around my waist and walked out fo the bathroom, I saw Joshua sitting on my bed.
“Need anything?” I ask him raising a brow, going to get my clothes from the drawers, I felt his eyes on me, following my body around, when I got my boxers out, I dropped the towel, bending over getting the boxers on.
“I would tap that ass,” he says, but I ignored him, I would once find his words sexy, they would make me feel hot, but I knew him too well, I knew he only means to tap the ass, and that’s it, but I won’t bend down for people like him.
“Don’t let the alpha hears you or he’d beat that thought out of you,” I say with a smirk, although I knew well my father would beat me if he hears of this, it’s always my fault, never anyone’s else.
“Oh, come on Mike, I’m only joking,” he says, Mike, the nickname he got for me, the one I hate deeply, I hate that name, I’m not his Mike, I don’t belong to him or anyone else, I’ll never be his bitch.
“Let’s go before father lose it on both of our asses,” I say finishing getting dressed, I had jeans and a button-down on instead, I made sure I look presentable, especially when meeting with my father.
We both left my room, walking side by side, Joshua was a bit taller than me, he was stronger, but I always push myself hard enough for no one to notice the difference, to notice that my beta could be in charge of me, not when I’m the one who’s supposed to lead the rest. We went toward my father’s office, I knocked, and waited for his answer, he didn’t tell us to come in right away, although he knows it was us, he kept us waiting, showing us who was the one in charge around here, using any and every way he could.
“Come in,” after five minutes or standing up in front of his door in total silence, talking would mean we’re conspiring on our alpha, silent was our safest choice.
We both walked into his office, bowing our heads down, keeping quiet until he started talking, more responsibilities for the two of us, he must have some new job for us, new things for us to suffer, I waited for him, I knew bad things are coming my way.
“We got a new wolf coming in,” he says, I raised my brow in confusion, our town and pack are different, our town is only ruled by wolves, no humans are allowed around here, if you want to come in the pack, you have to get my father permission.
“A new wolf alpha?” Joshua asks, being the bravest between the two of us to ask this question.
“Yes, his alpha… she… I’m doing a favour for the bitch,” dad says with disgust, that means the alpha had favour on him, or she’d paid him back with something much bigger than taking a new wolf in.
“The wolf would be living with us?” I ask my father, wanting to know how old the miserable soul is if he’d have to endure our cold life.
“The wolf is a male, just got twenty-one years old, a new adult,” dad says with a big toothy smile, he’s going to break him in, he’s going to make the new wolf go through hell, the poor soul, I pray for him.
“I want you two to take care of him, his mother sent him here for training, I want him to be trained, properly,” dad says, I closed my eyes, trained, he signed up for hell, if he’s smart, he’d leave right away, he won’t stay here.
“Of course alpha, we’d give him the royal tour,” Joshua says, I wanted to roll my eyes at him, but dad would take it as a lack of respect toward him, I kept it to myself.
“I don’t expect anything less from you two,” dad says, although his look at me was a glare, he wasn’t happy with me, although I said nothing.
“Of course Alpha,” I say knowing I have to answer him too, but his look didn’t waver, he kept glaring at me, I waited for him to move to the next subject of the day.
“Now, there’s a video call with the boy’s new alpha, Micah, I expect you to have a proper talk with him, assure him his boy is safe,” dad says, he means for me to lie, I’m a good liar, being an alpha means being good at politics, sitting through boring meetings so dad won’t have to, the other packs prefer to talk to me, better than my father, I’m more of the diplomatic around here.
“Of course father, I’d make you proud,” I say but he glared at me, he didn’t like the word proud, I shouldn’t have used it, nothing I do would make him proud.
“You’re a poor excuse for a son,” father answers me, if Joshua wasn’t around, he might have used his hands too, but thankfully, I was saved for now.
“Let’s go, Joshua,” father orders him, leaving me alone in the office to get through our meetings of the day.
