The Supreme Alpha - Chapter 126

Author’s note: this is from Seraphina’s point of view

With Duke by my side, I walked toward the building that Fynn and his group are calling home.

I told him about this place many times before, but it was Duke’s first time here, so I reminded him of the people who stayed here.

Duke said that some names were familiar, and I wondered if they would recognize him.

He didn’t seem nervous. Probably because his purpose of coming here was to get answers from Fynn related to his wolf, and everything else came secondary.

Nox wanted to start a pack, while Duke didn’t care much about it because he didn’t see as impactful if more werewolves migrate into the general area where we are living.

We have plenty of options for them to choose from.

Since some men from Pio’s group confirmed they are willing to move into the dilapidated town that’s close to our home, we started rebuilding it.

That town used to be the heart of the Bluemoon pack, and we will make it to suit our needs. Naturally, we will need people to live there and if Fynn and his group are willing, they can be some of the first residents together with Pio and his men.

I was hoping that some of them can stay in our home. There are plenty of rooms they could use, and we have another building a bit further from our villa that’s currently used for staff, but only four out of twenty bedrooms are occupied.

Duke told me that he doesn’t care where they will live. “Most of the staff is arranged by you and things are running smoothly. I will be happy to provide my inputs, but otherwise, I will leave it up to you.”

I love that he has trust in my abilities. Duke’s way of doing things is that he lets me do whatever I want, and he supports me when needed.

The staff we currently have is borrowed from my other properties, and technically, they work for my father. I would prefer if Omegas from Fynn’s group come to our place and relieve the current staff of their duties. Omegas are doing the same jobs anyway, and they are werewolves (they know about creatures), so it would be perfect.

Nox was firm on the point that only ranked members can live in the packhouse, and the rest can live in the town or scattered through the forest, like Pio and his group.

Nox also specified in which areas werewolves can settle based on their roles.

It was nice to see that Nox had something on his mind, other than spending time with me.

Actually, with Duke giving Nox more time, the relationship between the two of them improved, and with every passing moment, I could see the cracks filling up as they are becoming one.

I reminded Nox that some of the individuals here are performing certain duties and they might be able to continue the same in the newly formed pack as well.

Fynn and Aloberto (aka Bert) were generals in the Bluemoon pack, and here they are taking care of the training.

Ottavio (aka Otto) is managing resources and people, Vito is on top of the patrols schedule, and Tessa is in charge of the building.

Horace is handy around cars as he rarely comes out of the garage, and Martine is an amazing cook.

Vito and Tessa are mates, and I have a very good feeling about them. If they are willing to follow Duke as their Alpha, I would definitely ask Tessa if she is interested in taking over management of our home. Maria is currently performing that role and she said that she would prefer to work as my personal maid. As for Vito, he is trustworthy and a capable warrior. I am confident that Nox will find him a good role.

There is a total of thirty-three werewolves here, with more than half of them being Omegas, and I have an overall positive opinion of them with the exception being sisters, Arianna and Bianca.

Ari and Bia saw me as someone who could snatch Fynn away from them. It was ridiculous, but a jealous she-wolf doesn’t listen to reason.

Since Ari and Bia couldn’t touch me, they were bullying my fosterlings and when I caught Ari in the act, I lost it.

In a fit of rage, I accidentally took some of Ari’s vitality. It’s not very noticeable, but there are fine wrinkles on her face as she aged about a century within a few seconds, and no one really knows what happened. Luckily, she has a werewolf-enhanced lifespan. If she was just a human, I would kill her.

Luca and Zoe were there, and they saw me throw Ari against the wall and hold her, but they didn’t know what happened beyond that. Ari doesn’t know either, but she definitely felt the frightening feeling of vitality forcibly leaving her body, and since that incident, she is avoiding me. Good.

Back to the present…

I could see familiar faces in front of the building, ready to welcome us.

Otto, Bert, Fynn, Vito, Tessa, Martine, Horace.

They don’t have visitors often, and as werewolves, they could hear the helicopter from far away.

I was confident that everyone was aware of our arrival, but the group that was outside consisted of regulars who would put in an effort to make me feel accepted. They did the same for my fosterlings.

While Zoe, Luca, and Ash stayed with them, Martine and Tessa spent a lot of time with Zoe, Ash was mostly with Otto and Horace, and Luca learned from Bert and Vito.

I can say with confidence that thanks to personal guidance from these six people, Zoe, Luca, and Ash grew into the capable young people they are today.

With every step we got closer to the building, Duke’s hold on my waist tightened in a wordless claim of me as his. Silly man.

“Thank you for welcoming us.”, I said to the group when we reached them. “When I see you lined up like this, it makes me feel like I’m someone important.”

“It’s not often that we see a new face.”, Martine said, and Horace added, “And he is a werewolf.”

Martine and Horace are Omegas who were particularly kind to my fosterlings, during their three years-long stay here, and I will always be grateful to them.

I saw that all of them looked at Duke with curiosity and I asked Fynn, “You didn’t tell them?”

Fynn grinned like he did something awesome. “You told me not to tell, and I didn’t.”

I laughed. I could imagine that for a gossipy person like Fynn, it was torturous not to disclose that Mateo Testa was alive and kicking.

I thought that someone might recognize Duke because he was the only son of their Alpha. However, Mateo Testa disappeared more than a decade ago, and he was only fourteen years old then. Duke changed.

Even if he looked familiar and they suspected something, no one dared to voice their thoughts. Mateo Testa is like a deity, a prayer, a sacred name that shouldn’t be used recklessly.

Everyone who was facing us bowed their heads and I glanced at the man by my side. His fierce gaze told me that Nox was out, and he was already establishing his dominance.

The pride and joy in Nox’s expression made my heart flutter. This really meant a lot to him, and I loved that his hold on me didn’t change, not even a little bit.

Vito was first to snap out of it. “An Alpha!”, he said under his breath.

“And such a familiar aura.”, Tessa whispered, like that will stop us from hearing her.

“Maybe we should go inside.”, I suggested and glanced at Fynn. “Can you summon everyone?”

Fynn agreed immediately. He knew that this means we are done with keeping secrets. Mateo Testa is about to introduce himself.
