Chapter 131
Raphael’s POV
Those b a s t a r d s were snuggling up in bed with their mates while I’m up at this ungodly hour and
hurling my a s s over to Alessia’s pack. It isn’t fair. Why do they get to stay in bed with their mate while
I’m training a bunch of werewolves on how to fight?
It isn’t my
fault that Alessia is nearly on her due date and needs her mate by her side. Neither is it my fault that
Alex’s daughter is a tyrant who constantly keeps her parents on their toes and busy. I’m not to me
for any of those so why am I the one suffering the consequences of their actions? The two of them
couldn’t keep it in their pants and somehow, I happened to be the one to suffer the fallout.
Though, I guess I could have simply said no to Caden when he came to ask for my help. But my idiot
self bbered out an affirmative answer instead.
epting my fate. I run through the woods to Alessia’s pack. At least the weather is perfect for a run
and Ethan, my wolf
loves it.
I shift back into my human form once I get to their borders and wear my clothes back on. Then I head
to the warrior that’s standing guard at the moment. His posture changes and his spine stiffens as he
watches me approach.
“Who are you and what purpose do you have for being here?” He gruffs out, looking at me like I’m the
last person he wants to be conversing with. Well, that makes two of us buddy.
Tm Raphael, Caden’s G m m a,” I answer, crossing my arms over my chest and watching as he gets
that zed look in his eyes that signifies that he’s mind-linking someone.
Hees back to reality and nods at me. “You can pass through. They’re expecting you.”
I give him a quick thanks and cross into their border, feeling my pack link dim as I step into another
territory.
As I walk towards the pack house, a man steps out the front door and starts heading in my direction.
He meets me halfway and stretches out his hand for a handshake which I ept.
“Thanks for taking the time to meet us. I’m sure you had a million other things to attend to,” he states,
releasing my hand after a firm handshake.
Actually, I didn’t have a million things to attend to. That’s why I had been the perfect candidate for
Caden. I was jobless and withering away in the pack house with nothing to do all day. The only time I
left the house was when we did our routine checkups in the evening or when Caden assigned a task to
me. Other than those few times, I was a furniture that never left the house.
“I’m happy to help out in any way that I can,” I say, instead of giving the poor man a detailed
exnation of just how pathetic my life is
He smiles at me. I’m Henry, the Beta of the pack,” he says, introducing himself.
I remember Caden telling me that Henry was previously the G a m m a of his pack but after the
urrence with Jude and everyone finding out that Alessia was the future Alpha, his position had been
moved up to Beta and he had taken over Jude’s duties.
I’m Raphael, Caden’s G a m m a,” I introduce myself as well.
“I’ll show you to the training ground. They’re all there and awaiting your arrival,” he informs, walking in
front of me and leading the way.

I follow behind silently,ing to a halt when we get to a ce that looks like a warehouse. Henry
pushes open the door and gestures for me to walk in.
The chatters and conversationse to an abrupt stop as we step in. Up to a hundred pairs of eyes
observe me, all belonging to people in different age groups, ranging from a couple of middle-aged
huddled together in a corner to a group. of teenagers standing in the middle.
“Everyone, this is Raphael, the G a m m a of Blood Moon Pack. He’s going to be assisting us with our
training,” he informs, his voice flowing over the silent room.
My gaze shift through the room, cataloging their reactions and sniffing out the people who were going
to be giving me a hard time. Thankfully, they weren’t much. And the few that I scouted out will soon
learn who is in control in this room.
Now that Henry has made the introduction. I step further into the room with my head held up high.
“I’m going to be working closely with you guys for a few months at the very best. I expect your
cooperation and respect,” I say, holding as many gazes as I can. “It’s going to be strenuous and it
might eventually be too hard on you. If you know that you aren’t up for that challenge, I’ll advise you to
lead yourself out of here.”
I ignore Henry’s shocked expression and focus on addressing them.
There is no room for anyone that thinks they can ck off and not give this their very best.”
It’s better to weed out the pests while we’re still at the starting point. I don’t need anyone dragging me
behind.
I give them a minute to go over what I just said and watch as they exchange nces between
themselves and probably talk to each other through their mindlink.
After a while, they all turn to face me with burning determination in their eyes and I smile, impressed
that no one steps out to leave.
With no one leaving, I step towards the door and m it shut. The loud bang echo over the room and
puts a certain tension in the atmosphere.
“Let’s get started, shall we?”
