"You're overthinking now. It's obvious that your brothers love and respect you. And I know they understand you more than anyone. You always deserved the position of the Alpha," Cesar stated, halting slowly and turning to him.
"Cesar, thank you for those words," Lucien said with a smile. "It's already late. We should leave."
"Yes. By the way, have you started the matter my father discussed with you?" Cesar asked.
"Not yet. It may take some time," Lucien said. The two of them walked outside where their respective cars were awaiting them.
Cesar gave a gentle wave to Lucien before entering his own car and drove away. After him, Lucien slid into the car's backseat. The driver started the engine and drove back to their pack.
"Here's water for you, Alpha," the driver said, passing the bottle to him.
"Thanks," Lucien said and opened its cap. As he drank the water, his thoughts drifted to Leia. Lowering the bottle and closing it, he took out the phone from the pocket of his coat.
