CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN
Lucas’s temper doesn’t die down and I feel guilty.
I know he worries about me.
Ever since I took up the mantle of Alpha, we haven’t had one moment to ourselves which is even remotely relaxing.
It’s been one whole day and he’s avoiding me.
It hurts but I have to put the interests of the pack before my own. I knew that being an Alpha was not going to be an easy job. That’s why I had been so hesitant when it had been offered to me. But Lucas had insisted I accept back then. He never considered that for someone so young, it was burden that was all consuming.
I sigh, setting down the journal, I’ve been staring at, rub my hands over my face.
“You’re sad,” Kayla comments from where she’s doing her homework on the couch in my office.
She may be young but she’s still the legendary Phoenix. She doesn’t get along with the other children that much, preferring mine or Lucas’s company.
“I’m tried,” I confess.
And sad.
