Chapter 92
Pierre’s POV
“Has the Lycan King reached out yet?” I asked in anticipation.
But Beta Amelia’s face carried a hint of disappointment. “No your majesty, we got nothing yet.”
1 exhaled sharply, feeling the weight of the unattended project weighing down on me.
I nodded curtly, trying to hide my frustration. “Just keep reaching out. We’ve put a lot into this project, we can’t just let it slide,”
Beta Amelia bowed her head. “Yes, Your Majesty.” She said, heading to take her leave.
My phone rang, shrill in the silence, I sighed, answering it.
“Son, lunch is ready,” my mom’s voice chimed in. “Would you have it here with us or should I have Greta bring it over?”
I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on, “Mom, I’m busy, I don’t have the appetite to eat anything.”
But Pierre, you didn’t even have breakfast. You won’t be able to do much on an empty stomach, why not come over and=”
“Mom, I said I’m busy,” I interrupted, trying to keep my tone patient. “I’ll grab something here if the need arises.”
My mom sighed but eventually relented. “Fine, dear. But please make sure to eat something.”
I hung up, shoving my phone into my pocket. I needed to get out of here, clear my head. I made my way to the construction, the sound of hammers and drills a welcome distraction.
As I walked, I surveyed the site, my eyes scanning the half–built structures. This was what I needed – something tangible, something I could control, not like the Lycan King, who seemed to be ignoring me,
The work was progressing faster than many other projects and I was grateful that at least something was working. This was one of the projects my father left me, and I’m so glad to be able to complete what he had started,
“How long would it take for the structure to be completely set up?” I said to the construction engineer who seemed to have been noting some little errors that needed to be fixed.
“Your majesty!” He greeted. “We should be looking at the next two or three weeks. The majority of the work has been done and so what’s left in the outer part of the building won’t take so much time. After that, we can focus on the Interiors.”
“Great work!” I said to him. “Have the workers go for a break, I want to review it properly,”
He nodded and with a loud voice instructed. “Everyone, pause on whatever you are doing and head on to have your lunch.” Workers began to jump out of several places, even corners that one couldn’t imagine could harbour a person.
I watched as the workers scattered, eager for their lunch break. I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of pride wash over me. This project was finally coming together, and I couldn’t wait to see it finished.
I began my inspection, walking through the half–built structures, my eyes scanning every detail. I could almost hear my father’s voice and even envision the pride on his face. I had taken his vision and run with it.
“It’s all coming in great,” Beta Amelia said as she strolled to my side.
“Has the mail been sent?” I asked, referring back to what we had earlier discussed.
“Yes, Your Majesty, the reminder mail has been sent.” She confirmed and I nodded in acknowledgement.
“Your father would be very proud of you…” she stated, her words in resonance with my thoughts. “But do you know who else would be proud of you-?”
I looked up at her, almost in anticipation despite knowing who exactly she had in mind. “Gemini!” She finally said.
“Gemini?” I rolled my eyes as if in disbelief. “Do you really think she would care?”

Of course she had been so interested in this project, reason being that she loved everything my father loved, and it was almost as if she was his own child. People often mistook her for my sister, given how close she was to my family. And despite having three sisters, Gemini remained my father’s favourite. That was also one of the reasons my sisters and my mom never liked her, they felt she was intruding in their lives. And I don’t blame them for getting jealous.
“Your majesty, Gemini doesn’t hate you as much as you think.” Beta Amelia’s voice drove me back to the present.
“Not as much- but she still hates me!” I emphasized.
Emotions had already begun to brew within me and so I moved away from Beta Amelia to avoid being seen as vulnerable. I took the chance and continued with the investigation, making sure that every detail was perfectly handled. As I turned a corner, I noticed a small group of workers gathered around a specific area. I walked over to investigate, my curiosity piqued.
“What’s going on here?” I asked one of the workers.
“We’re just trying to figure out how to fix this section, Your Majesty,” he replied, gesturing to a small crack in the wall.
I nodded thoughtfully, examining the area. “Go and have your break, it can be fixed after that.” The workers nodded and then carried on to have their lunch.
I made my way to the top floor, the wind whipping through my hair as I gazed out at the landscape. This was it – this was what my father had envisioned. And I was proud to be the one bringing it to life.
I returned to my office to oversee other things, but not long after, a knock was placed on the door of my office. “Come in!”
Beta Amelia entered the office looking extremely pale, almost like she had seen a ghost or something. “What is the matter?” I asked, worried.
But instead of hearing bad or threatening news, she said. “Prince Cain is here to see you.” Just as she completed the words, the door fell
open.
“Alpha Pierre!” Cain called with a wide smile across his face, his tone seemingly teasing.“Long time no see.”
