Chapter 5 A Gift


    Shawn''s POV:


    The ceremony was about to begin. I was dressed expensively and looked over at the busy


    werewolves. I was in a great mood. The feeling of power and status exhrated me.


    While I crossed my legs and hummed a song, Mateo appeared in clothes that looked more


    exquisite and luxurious than mine. He swaggered towards me, surrounded by his several


    attendants.


    My heart sank instantly. This old man was just a Gamma, but today he looked and acted like he was


    much more than that. People who came to this event clueless might even think that he was the one


    who was taking the Alpha position.


    "Stop slouching." Mateo looked at me in disdain.


    I got up and stood up straight.


    "Good day."


    "From today on, you will be the Alpha. I only hope you can do your job well and not let anything


    distract you from that." Mateo patted me on the shoulder. "You must remember that we werewolves


    have to value our origins and be grateful for the help. Never forget who helped keep our pack alive


    and prosperous, and of course who gave you the chance to be an Alpha today."


    There was a lot of meaning behind Mateo''s words. He was obviously warning me not to attempt to


    undo all the control he had worked so hard to attain.

    "Yes. I will always remember your kindness and repay it with my life. Don''t worry. I cannot take away


    what is not mine." I smiled. But deep inside, my heart was disgusted.


    The Alpha position was always supposed to be mine in the first ce. Sooner orter, I would have


    to get rid of Mateo and take back everything that truly belonged to me.


    "Good. Don''t even think of ying any tricks. I am watching you." Mateo smiled back.


    I nodded politely, keeping this scene as harmonious as possible. Satisfied, he then left.


    Once he was gone, I couldn''t hold in my anger anymore and kicked over a trash can.


    Of course, Mateo wouldn''t forget to embarrass me on such an important asion. He clearly did


    not take me seriously. If that was what he thought, then I would show him that this "puppet" could


    fight back too.


    At this moment, my subordinate carefully came forward.


    I plopped down in a chair and huffed in annoyance, "What is it?"


    "We have sessfully caught Sylvia," he reported to me in a low voice.


    "Nice work." I said excitedly. "Now strip Sylvia naked and leave her in the room prepared for Prince


    Rufus."


    Although she was a lowly ve, Sylvia was still a beautiful girl. Giving her as a gift to the prince


    would not only give him a good impression of me, but that damn she-wolf would also learn her


    lesson. Imagining this n in my head was enough to put me in a better mood.


    "But sir, aren''t you going to sleep with her first? Sylvia is probably still a virgin. It must be a


    wonderful experience." The subordinate smiled obscenely, but was careful not to maintain eye


    contact with me.


    "You idiot! Why would I give the prince a used gift? Do you want to die?" I pped the back of his


    head. Although, I had to admit I was a little worried. What if the prince did to Sylvia what he did to


    that ve girl before and tortured her to death? If that happened, then I wouldn''t be able to have my


    turn with her anymore.


    "Sir, Prince Rufus is here." The subordinate gently tapped my arm, jolting me out of my thoughts.


    I looked ahead and saw the man himself, Prince Rufus Duncan, at the entrance of the banquet hall.


    He wore a silver suit, most likely customized to fit him perfectly. His facial features were handsome,


    but cold enough to make everyone around him flinch whenever he moved.


    Some werewolves were just born to be kings, and Rufus was definitely one of them.


    "Prince Rufus, I''m so d you could make it. I am Shawn Gibson, the future Alpha of the ck


    Moon Pack." I strode forward and spoke in a ttering manner.


    But Rufus didn''t even reply. He just coldly nced at me. In his eyes, I was probably no different


    from any other ordinary werewolf in this room.


    Smiling awkwardly, I reached out my hand and pointed him to a direction. "You must be tired after


    your journey. Please, have a seat."


    Other than giving a speech and bing the new Alpha, it seemed that this banquet also became


    an opportunity for me to try and please Rufus. Still, he didn''t say much no matter what I tried. It was


    difficult to even get close to him. But although he was acting indifferent now, I still had to do my best


    in ttering him. I was willing to do anything for power.


    When the banquet was about toe to an end, I walked up to him with bright eyes.


    "Prince Rufus, I have prepared a room for you that I think you will like. I have left a small gift there


    for you." I spoke ambiguously in a low voice and winked, hoping he would understand what I was


    implying.


    Seeing that he still wasn''t going to respond, I said, "Well, I hope you have a great night."
