The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 5

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 exhilarated 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 become 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 place. Sooner or later, I would have to get rid of Mateo and take back everything that truly belonged to me.

"Good. Don't even think of playing 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 occasion. 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.
