Chapter 219: Ready To Take The Position Of Alpha
Betty’s POV:
I was surprised to hear Devin talk about who should be the next Alpha at a time like this.
I couldn’t help feeling disappointed as I looked at him.
After all, it was hard to tell whether his father would make it out of this alive as he was still receiving treatment, and all Devin could think about was who would be the next
Alpha.
I always knew that he coveted the position of Alpha, but I didn’t think that he would be insensitive enough to bring it up at such a fragile moment.
Ever since they were children, Devin and Daniel had completely different personalities.
Daniel was kind and sensible, while Devin was selfish and domineering.
No matter how hard we tried to change him, he only did whatever he wanted.
As life went on like that, Marlon and I had given up on him, because at least, we still had Daniel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs such Devin always bore a grudge against Daniel because he thought that we preferred his younger brother over him.
Marlon and I knew that Devin wasn’t the right person to inherit the position of Alpha.
After all, the leader of the pack had to be someone of good character.Daily Latest update www.jar.com
Unfortunately, Devin fell terribly short on that account.
Grace hadn’t been able to get pregnant after getting married.
Marlon had told Daniel and Devin that the one to have a child first would inherit the position of Alpha.
He wanted Daniel to get married and have a child as soon as possible.
Marlon’s life was hanging by a thread and it was true that we needed to appoint an heir, just in case, but this time, I wasn’t going to let Devin get what he wanted.
“Devin, now is not time to talk about this,” I replied, looking away to avoid his resentful stare.
“But Mom, it’s important to decide who is going to be the next Alpha because we don’t know how long Dad has.” Devin was adamant.
“If you don’t give me an answer, I’ll call the elders right now.”
“Let’s at least wait until your father gets better!”
I was so infuriated that I didn’t know what to do or say without lashing out at him, so I sat quietly, wiping my tears.
“Mom, I don’t think it should be hard to figure it out! I am the eldest son.It’s only natural that I inherit my father’s position in the pack.This is my time to take responsibility for
the pack!” Devin said confidently.
Responsibility? What responsibility? Now that everything was fine with the pack, there wasn’t anything important that needed Marlon to deal with.
“Devin, you are here.”
Although he called out to me first, I sensed something strange in his tone.
“So, you want to be Alpha? Are you just for me to die already?”
I was stunned and the whole room quieted down with me.I felt utterly embarrassed.
“No, Dad.What are you talking about? You’ve misunderstood me.I’m just as worried about your health as everyone else in this room.I was just thinking that you’re no longer
able to handle the intensity of your work.If resigning is the only way to keep you alive, then I’ll gladly share your burden.”
I thought I was telling the truth.
“Humph, don’t act as if you care about anything else other than yourself, Devin!”
My father glared at me, gasping for breath.
“I know what you are thinking.”

the position of Alpha so that you can recuperate without any worries.”
I was furious, but I couldn’t let my anger get the best of me.
“Enough! Shut up!”
My father suddenly raised his voice and interrupted me.I felt humiliated.Why didn’t my father care about my dignity?
“Honey, let it go.Just calm down,”
Grace pulled my sleeve and whispered in my ear.
“Shut up! Did I ask for your advice?”
I was so angry that I poured my anger on her.
While I was speaking with Grace, I noticed my father call Daniel to his side.I immediately had a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“Daniel, come here.”
