Chapter 6

Alpha Benson's POV:

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

"Dad, Mom, I am 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, who scented like cedarwood.

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

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

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

"No, Alpha. I had been busy with the company and tax collection in our pack. The last tax collector absconded with money generated, and we are running a search for him and 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 Paulo cannot abscond for long or stay away from the other werewolves packs, as werewolves and humans cannot live together for long without them finding out. 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 my car door to get in.

It was a black Mercedes Benz GLC.

We were rich and lived a standard life, as we have our own pack school, university, and markets, too.

"Alright, Alpha. I wanted to leave for the hospital, as we got some reports that some injured werewolves were found about pack territory, so 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 they?" I asked him and frowned.

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

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

Roaring the car engine to life as the ignition turned on, 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 ground 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 my 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 Banks.

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

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

I am sure that he might have perceived my scent as I got a strong earthy scent that I used to show my presence by secreting more alpha pheromones to show dominance in any place that I entered.

However, I caught the delicious scent of jasmine that hovered around Dr. Chris's shirt, and my black eyes narrowed as I didn't want to think of it.

Not now, but the scent of jasmine was very welcoming that my wolf 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, thereby secreting more of my alpha pheromones that made everyone in the hospital lobby bow and submit their heads to me.

Yes, I was their new Alpha, and so 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 has shut me out since Emma and her wolf, Agnes, cheated on him.

"Yes, I am fine, but why do you smell of jasmine and also like you are 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 that has this type of relaxing and inviting scent, I still needed to follow our pack protocol and to ensure that she is not an enemy sent to destroy our pack.

"That's fine. I am not here to check in on the foreigner yet, as I have something important to discuss with you. Follow me to your office," 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."

"No, Odin. Not this time. Pack rules are to be adhered to," I told my wolf and pushed him at the back of my mind, but he kept on fighting for me to suspend everything that 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 am fine," I told Dr. Chris and entered into his office with him.

We settled across from each other, and I told him why I am there.
