Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 181: The Book

Andros's POV

I steeled myself as I made my way through the silent halls of the Packhouse with the monthly report of our Pack business weighing in my hand.

My heart pounded nervously inside my chest, thinking of how I was going to present all these to him while hoping that he wouldn't be disappointed with me this time.

My father is hard to please. He has high expectations that are hard to reach. Even though the business was improving little by little under my leadership, he was never satisfied. He is always looking at my faults, focusing on the little mistakes I made instead of the progress I had made.

Beta Alek is fully aware of this. He had witnessed how my father has been difficult towards me ever since I was little, but he has no idea how things became harder ever since he left.
