Chapter 6

Benson's POV:

As I finished having my breakfast with my parents, I stood up to leave the mansion.

"Dad, Mom, I'm leaving for the office," I told my father, and he nodded.

"Alright, Benson. You can go," Dad dismissed me, as he sat at the dining chair.

I picked up my briefcase to leave the house, and as I stepped out to the beautiful surroundings, my beta arrived and bowed at me.

"Good morning, Alpha," Dennis greeted me. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, and he was a dark-skinned man, 24 years old, with a cedarwood scent.

"Morning, Dennis. Have you warmed up the car like I asked you to do last week?" I asked him, as we walked towards my car.

"Yes, Alpha. I did, and the cars are ready for usage," he replied, as we approached the vehicles.

"Well, I'll be going to the pack hospital first to see the sick werewolves. How about the training camp and the pack's school? Have you made a visit to know how my father is helping out?" I asked Dennis, who was of the same height as me.

"No, Alpha. I had been busy with the company and tax collection in our pack. The last tax collector, David Paulo absconded with the generated money, and we are searching for him. We 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, as werewolves and humans cannot live together for long without being discovered. Find him and bring him back. Send out his information to the other packs' 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, as we had our own pack school, university, and markets.

"Alright, Alpha. I wanted to leave for the hospital, as we got some reports that some injured werewolves were found outside our pack territory. They are being treated at the pack hospital, and I haven't yet confirmed if they are awake to be brought to your office," Dennis said, once I shut my car door and looked at him.

"How many were there?" I asked him, and frowned.

"About four of them," he replied, and I sighed.

"I'll be heading to the hospital now, so you don't have to worry about going there, but ensure to get to the market and find a replacement for the old tax collector. Order the gatekeeper to unlock the gate. I'm leaving," I told Dennis, and he bowed and walked away from my car.

Roaring the car engine to life, I drove out of the palace and headed for the pack's hospital first.

I kept my face focused on the road as I drove ahead to the pack hospital.

As I got there, I drove into the hospital grounds and parked my car.

I turned off the ignition and got out of the car, 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 we hardly had sick patients here in our pack, I wanted to see the pack doctor for a DNA test for my daughter, Celine.

It wasn't something I wanted to be made public yet, but I desired to have the DNA test done so that I would stop looking at Celine as if she wasn't my child. But I perceived her as mine. She has an oriental scent of frankincense, but she resembles Emma, even though she has orange eyes like my mother.

"Welcome, Alpha," Dr. Chris, the pack's new doctor, greeted me as I entered the hospital lobby.

I'm sure he might have perceived my scent, as I had 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 the delicious scent of jasmine that hovered around Dr. Chris' shirt, and my black eyes narrowed, as I didn't want to think about it. Not now, but the scent of jasmine was very welcoming, and my wolf, Odin, 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 and secreting more of my alpha pheromones, which made everyone in the hospital lobby bow and submit their heads to me.

I was their new Alpha, and 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'm fine. But what do you smell of jasmine, and also, like you're a woman?" I asked Dr. Chris, and his yellow eyes widened in shock.

"Oh, forgive me, Alpha. I was going on a ward round, but with some of the stubborn new foreigners that are yet to be introduced to you. And maybe, she had mistakenly filled me with her intoxicating scent, as I found out that she was on scent suppressant. So I took it off, and that's why I had her scent all over me," Dr. Chris explained, and my wolf was curious to go and see the new foreigner that has the delicious scent. But I shut him out. He cannot be interested in a foreigner. As much as I would have loved to go and see this foreigner with this type of relaxing and inviting scent, I still needed to follow our pack protocol and ensure that she is not an enemy scent to destroy our pack.

"That's fine. I'm not here to check on the foreigner yet. As I have something important to discuss with you. Follow me," I told Dr. Chris, as his father was the former pack doctor, but 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, Benson. We need to go and see her first."

"Not this time, Odin. Pack rules are to be adhered to," I told him and pushed him to the back of my mind. But he kept fighting for me to suspend 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'm 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.
