The howl of my heart

Chapter 13

A powerful Alpha, woke up at 5am to the sound of his alarm. 

He quickly got up and went to his private gym, where he lifted weights and did some cardio. After his workout, he went for a run in the nearby park, enjoying the fresh morning air.

When he returned to his mansion, he took a shower and dressed in a suit. He then went to the pack's dining hall for breakfast. 

As the Alpha made his way to the pack's dining hall, he greeted each pack member he encountered by name, exchanging pleasantries and inquiring about their well-being. When he reached the dining hall, he grabbed a plate and filled it with a variety of breakfast foods before taking a seat at a table with a group of pack members. As they ate, he asked about their families and how they were doing, showing genuine concern and interest in their lives.

One pack member, a young mother, expressed concern over her child's recent illness. The Alpha listened intently and offered her words of comfort and support, assuring her that everything would be alright and promising to check in on her child's progress later in the day.

Another pack member shared news about his elderly parents, who were struggling with health issues. The Alpha expressed sympathy and asked about their treatment plan, offering to use his resources to help the family if needed.

Throughout the breakfast, the Alpha's empathic nature was evident as he listened attentively to each pack member's concerns and offered support and encouragement. His caring and kind personality shone through in his interactions, earning the respect and admiration of those around him.

After breakfast, he went to his office, where he met with his Beta and Gamma to discuss the pack's strategy, development, economics, and finances. They went over the reports and discussed the plans for the future.

At lunchtime, he went to the kitchen to get some food and personally thanked the cook for the delicious meal. He then returned to his office and ate his lunch while learning Mandarin online.

Suddenly, a few members of his pack burst into his office, arguing and seeking his judgment. The Alpha listened to both sides of the story and then gave his decision, which satisfied everyone involved.

As he was about to continue his work, he received a call from the mayor of one of the towns in his territory. They required assistance, and so he sent his best men to help. 

This Alpha had a unique talent for making deals with mayors of local towns, which he had honed over the years. In the recent past, the area had been struggling with a lack of work, poor education, and a growing sense of desperation. People had become increasingly dangerous, leading to a general sense of unease in the community.

Growing up surrounded by men who didn't feel they belonged and struggled to offer for their families, Alpha felt the need to make a change. He started by renting land to local people so they could work on it and earn money from their harvests and cattle. As this became quite profitable, he then moved on to opening factories, which bought whatever the farmers grew and processed it before selling it to large supermarkets and pharmaceutical companies. Finally, he led the opening of new supermarket chains in the area.

Alpha's offer to the mayors was simple - he would provide work to the people, offer protection where needed, and financial help for education in return for their agreement to be part of his territory. It was a mutually beneficial deal that provided security and stability to the region.

Alpha's approach was unique and empathetic. He understood the struggles of the people in his territory and worked tirelessly to find solutions. His kindness and care for his people were reflected in the strong relationships he had built with the mayors and his pack members. They trusted him implicitly, knowing that he always had their best interests at heart.

While he was doing some paperwork, he received another call, this time from his men that some trouble had broken out, and they needed further his assistance.

Alpha arrived at the shopping mall to find his men in a tense standoff with a man who was threatening to jump off the rooftop. The man was visibly agitated and distraught, tears streaming down his face as he stood at the edge of the building.

The man was in his mid-30s with disheveled dark hair and a scruffy beard. His clothes were tattered and dirty, indicating that he might have been living on the streets. His eyes were filled with pain and despair as he stood on the edge of the building, looking down at the busy street below. Despite his apparent desperation, there was a certain dignity to him, as if he had once been a proud and self-sufficient man who had fallen on hard times. His hands trembled as he clung to the edge, ready to let go at any moment. 

It was clear that he was at the end of his rope and felt that he had no other choice. The Alpha approached slowly, his voice calm and measured. "Hello there. My name is Joseph. Can I talk to you?"

The man hesitated for a moment before turning to face the Alpha. "I don't know what to do," he said, his voice trembling. "I lost my job, my wife left me, and I can't take it anymore. I just want it all to end."

Alpha listened patiently, nodding sympathetically. "I know it's tough, but jumping off this building is not the answer. Let's talk about it. You're not alone."

The man seemed to relax a little at Alpha's words and began to open up, sharing his struggles and frustrations. Alpha listened carefully, offering words of encouragement and support. Slowly but surely, he was able to coax the man away from the edge and back onto solid ground.

Afterwards, Alpha took the man aside and spoke to him in private, offering him some resources to help get back on his feet. The man was hesitant at first, but Alpha's kind and empathetic approach eventually won him over.

As they were leaving, one of Alpha's men turned to him and said, "I don't know how you do it, Alpha. You have a way with people."

He simply smiled and replied, "Sometimes, all it takes is a little kindness."

As he was heading to the parking lot to get his car and return to the pack house the strange scent that he knew from once before lingered around the area. As Alpha made his way through the parking lot, his senses were on high alert. He could smell the strange scent that had been lingering around the area and was still fresh. It was driving his wolf wild. His heart rate increased, and his hands clenched into fists, trying to contain the animalistic urge that was building within him.

He took a deep breath and focused on his training, using his mental discipline to reign in his wolf. Slowly but surely, he regained control and began to search the area for the source of the scent.

As he walked around the lot, he could feel his frustration mounting. The scent was strong, but there was no car parked in the area that matched it. It was as if the scent was a ghost, taunting him with its presence but always just out of reach.

Eventually, he gave up the search and made his way back to his office. He felt defeated, his wolf still restless and agitated. Sitting at his desk, he tried to focus on his work, but his mind kept wandering back to the scent. It was a mystery that he couldn't solve, and it left him feeling uneasy and restless.

As Alpha lay in bed, he couldn't shake off the feelings of inadequacy that had been nagging at him all day. He was a strong and capable leader, but the fact that he couldn't provide a Luna for his pack made him feel like he had failed them in some way. He knew the importance of having a female presence in the pack - they brought a sense of balance, nurturing, and guidance that was irreplaceable.

Despite his efforts to be both manly and attentive, he felt like he was falling short of his pack's expectations. He was constantly drained by the dual roles he had to play - that of a leader and a nurturer. He wished he could offer more to his people, who deserved the best. The thought of not being able to provide a Luna for his pack weighed heavily on his mind, and he couldn't help but feel like he was letting them down.

As he drifted off to sleep, his thoughts turned to the mysterious scent that had been haunting him all day. He couldn't help but wonder if it was a sign of things to come, or just a passing coincidence. Either way, he knew that he couldn't let his personal concerns distract him from his duty as an Alpha. He had to stay focused, vigilant, and always be ready to protect his pack at all costs.
