Her duty

Tyler's POV

"The pack is yours now, take care of it," I remember father and mother telling me before they went into solitude, like the other Alpha's before them. Now I am left with taking care of this ungrateful pack that doesn't listen to me. Not everytime.

I was sitting doing their taxes like the good Alpha that I was, not thinking about anything other than the fact that I was yet to find my mate, when the most wonderful smell passed across my nose. I inhaled deeply.

"What is that?" I asked my wolf and he simply wagged his tail in response. I guess I was not the only one feeling happy with the smell.

I walked out of the room I claimed as mine, trying to look around for the carrier of the scent. I was met with my Beta, Devon.

"Alpha," he bowed to me

"Beta," I nodded at him.

"Is there something I could help you with?" He questioned when he noticed my wandering eyes.

"Yes, is there someone around that is not always around the pack house?, I smell someone new," I told him

"Someone new? No one new came i- oh! It has to be the stupid deviant omega that never listen to commands" he started before later remembering.

"An Omega? What is an Omega doing in the main pack house? I thought I told them to stay in the basement and never to leave unless told too," I responded, my voice getting hard.

"Oh yes, Alpha, I am sorry, it is my fault, but I already punished her and I will make sure that nothing like that happens again in the future," he assured me and I nodded along, before remembering that he took matters into his hands.

"And why would you take matters into your own hands, why was I not told the moment someone broke the rules, Beta?" I glared at him and he gulped, my wolf was surfacing.

"I am sorry, alpha, I thought you were busy," he explained quickly to avoid my anger.

"Don't let that happen again, it is my pack and I like knowing everything that is going on," I told him

" Yes, Alpha," he bowed and left.

"It's just an Omega, I thought it was someone important and special", I mused to myself before going back to my tax work. The only fun thing I get to do as an Alpha was watching the higher ranked wolves to rough up the lower ranked ones.

(Flashback)

"Tyler, what are you doing?" Mother called out to me on day, I was teaching a beta wolf a lesson for not sharing his things with me.

"Teaching him a lesson, mother," I replied looking back at her and my father.

"That is my son, you should let them know that this place is yours and you own everything, including the wolves, you get to tell them how you want things to go and if they don't listen, you can do whatever you like with such disobedient individual," my father praised me with a little advice and I let it get to my head.

"Come on, it's time for the run," mother sighed.

"Okay, mother"

The whole pack yowl with excitement, the run was the only time they get to be free and be equal with their leaders, after that they were back to being the higher ranked, lower ranked wolves they were.

Mother decided to shift back to her human form to accompany me, since I was still little to shift into my wolf form, I was 10 years old, we do not shift until we were 13.

"All this is yours, and I know the Goddess will pair you up with someone you can share it with," mother gestured to the whole pack land as she spoke.

"Share? No mother, I don't have I share it with anyone, it is mine and mine alone, and i get to do whatever I want with it," I responded, repeating my father's words from our earlier conversation. Mother simply sighed and lead me inside.

(End of flashback)

It was as if the flashback knocked something into me, I decided to purnish the disobedient, since the pack is mine and mine alone.

"Beta, come to the training ground," I mind linked Beta Devon

"Yes Alpha", he replied immediately

"Time to have some fun," I rubbed my hands together and left the room.

Everyone was already gathered because they knew what was going happen already, it was punishment time.

"The Beta here thought it was a good decision to take things into his own hands without talking to his alpha first, who does that?" I asked while pointing to Devon. No one answered as no one has the audacity to talk back to me.

"He will face the right judgement for that now, and let everyone of you watch and learn", I continued my speech as I walked towards the punishment table. It compromises of various torturing materials like whips and canes. "Pick one, Beta," I told him

"The whip, Alpha," he said and I smirked.

With every whip on his body, he knew to thank me.

"Thank you Alpha, I promise to never take decision into my hands again," he said and I nodded, satisfied for asserting my superiority over my pack members once more.

As i opened my mouth to say something to them, that wonderful scent wafted past my nose once more and I go in the direction from whence it came.

"It was here," I said when I got to the point where the scent was most strong, but it seemed to have disappeared again.

I will catch you sometimes soon, bearer of wonderful scent.
