Chapter 115
Caden’s POV
I haven’t stopped working since his death.
If I’m not trying to get myself killed by training day and night, then I’m at my fath- my pack and trying to learn the layout of the pack and its members. The pack members are closed off. They might not be saying it to my face but it’s obvious that my presence isn’t welcomed. Add in the fact that I’m their new Alpha after being around for barely a month and I have to say that the glares thrown my way might just be warranted.
I don’t give a d a m n though. Befriending them is a crucial aspect of taking over the pack but it isn’t the most pressing issue here.
The whole finances of the pack is in shambles. Just a few more chips from the blocks and it will crumble to the ground in a heap.
For someone who literally killed for the position of Alpha, Jude has been doing a lousy job of keeping the pack in check. What were his intentions after getting his hands on the pack? Have it run itself?
With my father’s death, that job has been passed on to me. I could simply have had the G am m a take over but it felt wrong. It felt like I was dishonoring my father. It’s foolish but it’s how I feel and I can’t change it.
My father had never outright told me that he wanted me to be his successor but I know that it is what he would have wanted.
With a sigh, I look at the documents laid out in front of me, -the numbers so low that they look more like grades than actual money- and try to figure out how to fix the situation. Everything was one big giant mess. How on earth am I going to be able to clean it up? Not to mention the fact that Jude could still attack this pack at any time, and I hate to say it but it will be an easy win for him if that happens.

Shaking my head to get my thoughts in order, I dig into the work laid out in front of me, calling for Henry’s help whenever I reach an
Im p s se.
I lose track of the time, too immense in what I doing to realize that it is already passed six pm.
There were times when I stayed overnight at my father’s pack to get some work done. Today isn’t going to be one of those days.
My eyes ached and my body screamed at me to call it a day. Listening to both of them, I arrange the desk and keep the documents
away.
Arising from my seat, I stretch to relieve all my sore muscles. Then I move towards the door, throwing one last look at the huge pile of documents awaiting my attention and looking away. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
I walk out of the pack, throwing a nod to Henry’s as a form of greeting.
He nods back and goes back to what he’s doing which is playing with the younger kids of the pack.
Despite all the flaws in this pack, they still had their good moments. This was one of them.
I walk out of the pack house and into the woods, noticing the low amount of guards protecting the boulders from intrusion. Yet
another thing that I had fixed. I put it at the back of my mind.
Stripping from my clothes, I lay them on the ground and shift into my wolf, feeling that rightness slip into my bones. At least, I was always going to have my wolf with me no matter what happened. She is the only constant in my life.
Picking the clothes and holding them between my teeth, I start racing towards Caden’s pack. My spine is always on alert whenever I
