Caden brought his car to a stop inside a hospital parking lot and turned it off, sighing with contentment. Peaceful, quiet and private… A rarity for the king's stand-in.
Ever since Cole and the other beta alphas had left for the royal games, running the kingdom had automatically fallen upon his shoulders.
Bracing himself for his next order of business, he stepped out of the car and took a few looks around to confirm no one was around before he lazily stretched his arms.
'That morning drill is bound to kill someone. Right… let's get this issue over with.'
Walking out of the parking lot, he was greeted by a timid man dressed in a green uniform. The man was of average build for a security guard but in the presence of a beta alpha, he was just another man.
And his nerves showed just how aware he was of his weakness.
Caden had long learnt to ignore that reaction.
