GoodNovelChapter 134: Important Task Astrid's POV "W-What? Pardon me?" I blurted out, my tongue stumbling for words at the surprise that he gavewith his words.
I was just resting in my room when suddenly, Alpha Theron summonedto cto his office. I thought he just wanted to speak to me, but I was surprised when he suddenly assigned a task to me.
"The Emberwood Pack was just attacked by rogues, Astrid. They had suffered a great disaster, and all their leaders were massacred. The remaining survivors needed all the support they could get, and that's why I'm sending you to manage the relief efforts we will provide them," Alpha Theron explained, proving tothat I heard him right the first time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe was genuinely assigningthe task of supervising Pack Affair. I don't understand why he is doing this. I am not in any way affiliated with the Shadowfang Pack. I'm not even an official member. Why would he askto go and represent their Pack? My eyes blinked, taken aback by the weight of responsibility and because I didn't know what Alpha Theron was thinking. "But why me?" I asked as I looked at him with wide eyes.
Alpha Theron's brows suddenly furrowed, his expression instantly changing. "Don't you want to help the Emberwood Pack?" He questioned me, makingshake my head immediately before he could misunderstand me.
Although I know that he knows that's not what I actually meant.
"Of course, I don't mind leaving and supporting the Emberwood Pack. I would be very glad to help them, but this is a support from the Shadowfang Pack. Someone from the Shadowfang Pack should handle this task. I cannot take this responsibility," I explained so he would understand what I was thinking.
"If you are willing, then just take it. I am already giving the task to you." Alpha Theron replied carelessly with a wave of a hand.
"Why don't you give it to Asha? I'm sure she would be willing to do the task. She's already jealous of me. She will only get more jealous if she finds out that you entrusted this task toinstead of her," I reasoned.
"You don't have to worry about Asha," Alpha Theron answered reassuringly.
My lips pursed slightly as I regarded Alpha Theron with a curious gaze. He has his Beta, and he has two children to whom he could assign this task. Normally, such an important assignment would fall to one of them. Yet here I am, not even a member of his Pack, and he is givinga diplomatic mission.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Why?" I finally ask him. It wouldn't hurtto ask, right? "Since you are givingthis task, I should know why you chose to give it to me." Alpha Theron had always insisted that I should just stay in my room to rest and focus on my recovery. He even stoppedfrom going back to the Nightsong Pack so that they could continue my treatment here in his Pack. Suddenly, he toldto leave the Pack and go to work. Why is he suddenly assigningto do this? Alpha Theron suddenly sighed after I finished my question. His shoulders suddenly slumped like a heavy weight was pressed upon them. "You're making slow progress in your recovery for the past few months," he spoke in a low voice.
I didn't say a word. Instead, I lowered my head and fidgeted with my fingers.
"The body is just a vessel that shows the contents of the mind and the emotions of the heart. I think we will both agree that your health is no longer the problem but the past that you still cling to." I swallowed hard when I understood the familiar phrase that he articulated. My muscles tightened when he finally saw through me.
He is saying that my broken heart is the reason why I'm still not recovering. It's my resentments that are keepingfrom having a healthy body.
"Astrid," Alpha Theron uttered my nsoothingly when he saw my rigid response "I just hope that this task will give you a sense of purpose You've been sulking and mourning for so long. This is your chance to use your ton ove something else. You should channel your energies into channel constructive. It is important to keep the mind busy, to not let it idle and
