Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jerome's POV: 

My sister and were finally at ease because Arthur got what he deserved.

I spent the next few days preparing to take on the role of Alpha.

With the help of several elders, I became ready to deal with the pack's affairs.

"You are a capable werewolf, Jerome.You have the abilities to govern the Rainbow Pack.Soon, you will be able to take charge of everything by yourself."

Simon's look of admiration made me feel validated.

He was mainly responsible for helping me become familiar with the pack's affairs as quickly as possible.

He was now my right-hand man, just like he was for my father back then.

"Thank you, Simon.I would not be able to learn everything this fast without your help."

I turned to the other side of the room.

"Thank you for your help these past few days, elders.I was able to familiarize myself with the affairs of the Rainbow Pack in such a short time."

I bowed respectfully in the elders’ direction.

Their eyes welled up with tears after they heard me thank them.

"You are a good man and will be an even greater leader.Your father would have been proud to see the man you've become."

It was not going to be an easy task to rule a pack.

Now and in the future, the Rainbow Pack could only prosper if I could work together like this with the elders.

The first item on my agenda was to gain their approval.

They all praised me as the heir of the Alpha they used to serve and love.

After all, I was modest, polite, and I knew to give credit where it was due.

I could tell that they all thought highly of me.

It felt great to finally live up to my father's expectations.

I was confident that I could govern the Rainbow Pack well.
