They thought he was going to use his fist, but instead, he presented them with a challenge.

"I have drawn the lines between those I can call friends. If you are resourceful, then I challenge you to make five million dollars within a month or defeat me in a ring. Only then will you earn my respect and qualify to speak to me."

Alpha Denzel had an elegant way of putting people in their rightful place. He declared the four people as unresourceful. If they had important things to do, they would not be in the barbershop sputtering nonsense after having their hair cut.

No one dared to speak anymore. None of them knew how to make money outside their pack businesses, and that money did not solely belong to them. Making that amount without their pack resources was what could be defined as impossible.

To defeat Alpha Denzel in a ring was equally daunting. Alpha Denzel did not see these men as a threat because he would never host the Alphas Conference in his pack to include the likes of them.

It was almost midnight by the time they were all done. Alpha Denzel went to the women and complimented them, "You two look amazing. Let’s get home fast. Training will start early tomorrow."

Valerie knew he was referring to her. Having slept a lot that day, it was important that she put her energy into training from now on, as she always wanted.

"You look cute with this haircut," she complimented, but Alpha Denzel was annoyed by the word she used. Valerie saw his dark look and was glad to have the opportunity to get back at him.

"How could you call a man cute? Am I a baby?" He asked in annoyance. Valerie laughed, but Alessia felt the word was correct. Alpha Denzel’s new haircut made him less intimidating, and he was doubly handsome. Indeed, cute.

"Yes, brother, I love this haircut better. You look cute," Alessia confirmed. Valerie laughed again, but Alpha Denzel was back to being indifferent.

As he was about to drive out of the car park after everything was loaded into the car’s trunk and even the backseat where Alessia sat, the manager of the salon ran after him.

"Alpha, you overpaid. Please swipe your card on the POS and allow me to make the correction. The difference is too huge."

Alpha Denzel glanced at the two women beside and behind him. Though upset with their calling him cute, he was satisfied with their new look. "Oh, that’s for treating my women well."

He pressed his foot on the accelerator, leaving the woman with her mouth agape. The next day, Alpha Denzel woke both women for training.

"If I get to the training arena before you, you are climbing the mountain ten times," he whispered in Valerie’s ear, and she jolted awake.

"You monster," Valerie yelled and began to dress up as Alpha Denzel went to wake Alessia. She knew he would do it since she always wanted to join them for training.

There was no smile on his face as he was back in his Alpha mode. Pushing the door violently open, he roared from the entrance.

"Aless, wake up. If I get to the training arena before you, you will climb the mountain ten times." Alessia jolted from her sleep, rolling off the bed and falling hard on the floor.

"Ouch, Denzel, you are back to being a monster," Alessia yelled and lifted herself from the floor. Training was not going to be in the training room but rather in the arena, meaning more vigorous activity.

In less than five minutes, she was already jogging to the training arena, bumping into Valerie. "Did he do the same thing to you?" Alessia asked when she saw how unkempt Valerie’s hair was. The latter was holding it with a band into a ponytail, trotting to the training arena.

"Is he gone already?" Valerie asked, curiously looking around and not catching a glimpse of Alpha Denzel. What if he got there before them? Valerie was ready to train, but climbing the mountain was a different matter.

"I don’t know, but I think we should run," Alessia suggested. Valerie took the advice, and they both increased their speed.

Charity began at home, so Alpha Denzel’s training would always begin with his mate and sister.

When other warriors saw the Beta and Luna running to training, they followed suit. Everyone in the training arena was panting when Alpha Denzel arrived. No one knew where he passed, but Alessia and Valerie were glad to make it before him.

He was actually delayed by a call from Troy. If not, both women would not have stood a chance. Troy’s challenge was still registered in his mind.

"Alpha Denzel, the council has refused to approve my date for the coronation in two weeks. They said I connived with you to kill Alpha Conrad."

Alpha Denzel did not seem surprised, as he expected it. It was also the reason why he sent the video, but it seems that was also not enough.

"Go ahead with preparations. I will handle it. Don’t change the date," he said seriously. Troy smiled and ended the call after saying, "thank you." He trusted Alpha Denzel and knew that he would be able to take care of it.

"Before training starts, I have an announcement to make," Alpha Denzel began to speak. "Burke, you will begin training as the Gamma, and Gandolf, you will undergo training as the Delta," he announced.

Everyone was shocked as it was unexpected. This was the first time the pack was going to have a Gamma and Delta. The size of the pack demanded it, but Alpha Denzel never created that position as he was doing now. He continued to speak, ignoring their bewildered looks.

"As we build the omegas community, we shall build a house similar to the pack house to house the Delta and Gamma’s families."

Everyone began to clap at the new arrangement. Burke and Gandolf had tears in their eyes. They worked tirelessly and were devoted. All their hard work was not in vain.

"That is not all," Alpha Denzel said, gaining their attention once more. "Luna Valerie and I cannot mark each other for personal reasons, but she will be in charge of training whenever she is in the pack from now onwards. In her absence, Alessia will take over."

Valerie was shocked, but Alpha Denzel was not done. More surprises awaited her...
