Page 207 of A Female Alpha for the Lycan Prince

I’mbacktonotsleeping much again, but instead of feeling exhausted and drained like before, I’m actually happy and motivated. I’m guessing it has to do with my reasons for staying up late, which are all connected to the most breathtaking woman in the world.

Just be glad I managed to woo my beautiful Danica early on,Cyrus boasts.Or we would have had no chance. My good looks and dashing personality saved us!

What the heck?I raise my brows.What’s with your ego? It seems to be getting worse than usual.

Oh, shut up human. You should kiss the floor I walk on!

I chuckle.We walk on the same floor, Cyrus.

Shoot, I forgot about that,he grumbles.Still, my point stands!

Yeah,I give in.You are right. Between the two of us, you were definitely the better mate. But I wouldn’t let it go to your head, Cyrus; Danica clearly didn’t set the bar too high.

He completely ignores my last comment, as he’s too busy strutting around like a peacock with his chest puffed out. I don’t tease him for it, I don’t want to argue with him… and in a way, it’s kind of cute.

Celine and I have decided to divide some of her alpha duties between us. Liam was right when he assumed that she would want me to become her advisor. My job will be to deal with some of the more elitist packs, especially the lycan ones. I can’t wait to introduce myself to them as the lune. See the look on their stupid faces when they realize who I am, especially considering none of them would dare say anything, as I’m still Alpha Elden’s son and Alpha Liam’s brother. HAH! It’s going to be brilliant! Garret and I will have the time of our lives.

Our new work arrangement is the reason I’m heading over to Red Claw now for an early morning meeting. We’ll be discussing the details of Finn’s mission. His team is a crazy mix of talented and skilled individuals, but he is going to need all the help he can get from us just to keep this group in line. However, Finn’s a good and capable man, so I’m sure he will work it out.

I arrive just in time for the start of the meeting. I look around and see Dad and Liam, of course, and Finn. There’s also Liam’s betas, Alpha Jace and Beta Vincent. I see Ella is here too, representing Annie, as she’s excused herself from the meeting for very obvious reasons. We had her baby shower a week ago, and she was in tears when she received our presents. The rocking chair, in particular, was a big hit.

I sit down and glance at my father. “I can’t believe you’re not complaining,” I say, pretending to be shocked. “No,oh, you’ve finally decided to grace us with your presence, son?”

He raises his brows. “I figure, if you still can’t manage to be on time after 23 years of life, that’s on you. I have other problems.”

“What other problems?” Liam wants to know.

“Flora… your mother wants to artificially create a river around the pack,” he states blandly.

“What, like a castle moat?” I ask with a grin.

Finn cackles at the idea. “She watched a movie recently and got really excited about it.”

“There is no way I’ll agree to that,” my father exclaims.

“Well,” Beta Vincent snorts. “I don’t want to question your authority, Alpha, but maybe you should try to compromise with her, or quickly find something else to distract her with. Otherwise, what she wants, she’ll get!”

“Hey Vince,” my father growls. “How about you worry about your own 1000-year-old mate before making fun of mine?”

Vincent grins but wisely keeps his mouth shut.

“Oh yeah, right,” I nod earnestly toward him. “I heard we are extended family now. You are dating my mate’s great-grandmother!”

Aryanna and Ella burst into laughter. “I can’t quite believe it either,” Aryanna grins.

“What do I call you now?” I ask Vincent seriously. “Gramps?”

Vincent punches my shoulder.

“Hey, hit the lune one more time and I will tell my alpha,” I threaten.

My father buries his face behind his hands. “Goddess, give me strength. Or give me a glass of cognac now, and it’s only 10 AM.”

“Make it two,” Liam groans.

“Three,” Alpha Jace adds.

Finn shrugs. “I don’t think one glass is enough.”
