continued until the day of Torin’s succession test for the Alpha.
On the day of the exam, Elora arrived at our house early in the morning to wait for the results with us.
When Torin’s ridiculously poor test scores came in, Damon’s brows furrowed in anger. “How could your scores be this low?!”
His son shrugged indifferently. “So what? I’m the Alpha’s only son. Even if I’m a complete failure, the Alpha position is still mine.”
“You can’t keep acting like this, no matter how much your mother spoils you!” Damon shot me a subtle glance. Seeing that I remained silent, he continued, “It’s not easy for her to manage the pack alone. You need to step up! Otherwise, how will you help her in the future? How can we trust you to take over the pack one day?”
“Torin, your father is right. This position will definitely be yours, but you still need to prove yourself. ” Elora chimed in earnestly. “Otherwise, how will you earn the respect of the elders and nobles once you become Alpha?”
Watching the two of them echo each other’s words, I smiled faintly and said calmly, “It’s fine. I’ve already planned everything for Torin. I’ll send him to one of our allied packs for further training. Everything I have will be left to Torin. Once he returns, it will be only natural for him to take over the position.”
Hearing this, all three of them smiled in satisfaction.
I smiled too.
They were laughing at how foolish I was.
I was laughing at how naive they were.
