CHAPTER 26

　　Ella’s POV

　　Joseph and I hang out in my room for almost an hour. We speak about trivial things, and I feel like he is walking on eggshells around me. Trying not to talk about anything that would bring up my abuse or my father.

　　“Beta, you don’t have to hang out with me the whole time. You must have a ton of work to do” I said shyly.

　　“Actually, I really don’t have anything to do, believe it or not. Klaus has more than one beta, although I’d like to think of myself as the head beta. So I delegate my work to them. I’ve been working my ass off for the past seventeen years, it’s their turn now” he said before giving me a wink.

　　“You have been a beta for seventeen years? So you are not just alpha Klaus’s beta?” I ask in curiosity.

　　“No, I was alpha Matthew’s beta as well. I took over the beta position after my father; who was his beta, died of a heart attack”

　　“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ask you such private questions”
