They Called Me Heartless So Reborn I Watched Them Self Destruct novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: 186- Thanking The Moon Goddess

Third person pov:

It had been only a week after the oath, and Chris had never imagined that sitting behind a desk could feel this good.

Who would have thought that a mere warrior like him would one day be sitting in Alpha Cedric’s chair, giving orders to the very people he used to answer to? He certainly hadn’t.

Only a few weeks ago, he had been one of the warriors reporting to Alpha Cedric every morning. He had spent years following orders from the Alpha and all the high-ranking werewolves.

Now things were different.

His mornings began with officials and pack members coming to his office, waiting for his instructions. Even the senior warriors who once ordered him around addressed him respectfully as Alpha.

And Chris was enjoying every bit of it.

“Alpha, we’ve received a request to increase patrols along the eastern border,” one of the senior warriors informed him, placing a report on his desk. “There have been a few rogue sightings recently.”

Chris went through the report before approving the additional patrols. He also instructed the warrior to send him an update by the following evening.

“Of course, Alpha.” The man bowed respectfully before leaving. Chris leaned back in his chair, pleased with how smoothly everything was going.

He had been nervous during his first few days, especially when the senior officials came to him with matters that Alpha Cedric would have handled without a second thought. But he was learning quickly, and the council members seemed satisfied with his decisions.

When another knock came at the door, he straightened in his seat. “Come in.”

Rick entered, carrying a folder under his arm. Chris immediately noticed that he wasn’t wearing his usual friendly smile. “Good morning, Alpha. I need your approval on a few changes to the warriors’ training schedule.”

“Morning, Rick. Have a seat.” Chris gestured toward the chair opposite him, but Rick remained standing.

“No, thank you. My father has already reviewed the changes, but he wanted me to get your approval before implementing them.”

Chris began reading through the folder. The proposed changes were reasonable, although he had a few questions about the number of warriors assigned to night training.

Rick answered each question properly, but there was something stiff about him. He addressed Chris as Alpha throughout their conversation and made no attempt to speak casually, as he normally would have.

Chris had a pretty good idea why. He was aware of his attachment to his wife. Still, they had to work together.

“These changes look good,” Chris said, signing the document before handing it back. “You’ve put quite a bit of thought into this.”

“Thank you, Alpha.” Chris watched him tuck the folder beneath his arm.

“Rick, you don’t have to be so formal with me. We’ve known each other for years.”

Rick gave him a brief smile. “You’re the Alpha now, Chris. It’s only right that I address you properly, especially when we’re discussing pack matters.”

“Well, then I hope you’re prepared to help me with those matters.” Chris gestured toward the pile of documents on his desk. “I know how to fight rogues, Rick, not how to run an entire pack. At this rate, I might accidentally bankrupt Blackthorn before the month is over.”

Rick seemed surprised, perhaps he was not expecting the new Alpha to speak so openly about his lack of experience.

“Your father has been handling these responsibilities for years,” Chris continued. “And you’ve learned a great deal from him. I’d appreciate having your help while I get used to everything.”
