Alpha Princess's Possessive Mate

There was a look that passed between both me and the receptionist. It was like she openly asked me to beg her and she would just enjoy the show. So no amount of my inexperienced flattery was going to get anything out of Shagen. She was making this hard on purpose. "Aren't you a sadist," I smirked without breaking eye contact.

"You are asking for it," Shagen threw my energy back at me. There was no way I would back away just because of this little scare of her. 

I clapped my hand, in a moment, changing my energy back to bring the solemn smile on my lips, "Oh no, I like to acknowledge what is good out loud to people. Plus, I think they will consider your words more seriously than mine, as I am still a nobody. I am sure you have good contacts there, Mrs Shagen."

Shagen squinted her eyes at me, trying to see if I would break, but I kept my smile and was tapping my fingers against each other randomly, waiting for her to give up instead. She sighed and, rolling her eyes, turned to pick up the telephone, "Let me see what I can do. When do you want to go?"

My smile turned to a warm one as I chimed, "It is urgent. Tomorrow afternoon would be great"

"Okay," Shagen pushed the digits on the telephone. She saw me waiting there and waved me away before the line on her call went through, "get out now, go complete the rest of your tasks. I will get an officially recorded permit for you from tomorrow afternoon till the night time"

"Thank you Mrs Shagen, you are the best," I could almost hug this woman right now but just bounced out of there, knowing very well she would do this much for me. 

I knew Dandeline's special coffee would do its magic. It always did the magic for me and there was no exception to that best cup of coffee in the entire world, at least not for me. Now the permit was sorted and if I were to get stuck in a situation like Diana is stuck right now, the officials will have to take action immediately. With that thought, my entire happiness faded away. Officials meant that Chief Jack would have to take action and I very well knew that won't ever happen.

The only good this permit can do for me is in case I file a case and it can be held as evidence then.

How did I manage to make an enemy out of the useful people!

I walked, reading through the rest of the tasks, which were relatively easier. I had to distribute them between the 13 members who would return from their nap now. There was no issue for me to take a long way and do everything on my own, but I wanted the members to be involved in it, making them have some proper work and then an assurance that if they mess up, I am here to take care of things. 

I met the rest 13 members at the training ground and I had distributed the tasks properly within them. Their number was more than the six members in the morning so the tasks would be done faster.

With that done, I had distributed all the tasks on my list on the first day itself. Now the remaining was to see after their task completion whether there were any mishaps, doing the daily training session in the evening and changing shifts. Now that my paperwork was done, I needed to look into the major matters and so I headed to the hospital where Benjamin was completing a task. I was a little heedful about this man as being old he had a chance to be one of Diana's supporters. 

When I went there, I saw Benjamin talking with the group of interns as if instructing something about the patient. I waited at the side and when his eyes fell on me, he excused himself to come to meet me.

"You seem to have good relations with the interns," I said in a casual tone and signalled him to walk with me. His clothes were just as abnormal as the cloth he wrapped around his head. It looked like a big black robe that fitted him instead of being loose with yellow cloth tightened around his waist.

"Yes," His tone was polite when he talked, "they reveal some things when handled with care and some with strictness."

I hummed at his words. He spoke his heart and just what was necessary, so it was hard to guess exactly what his persona was. "What are your abilities?" I asked, keeping my eyes ahead, and we exited the hospital, walking to a less crowded place. 

"I don't know," he said, and I instantly gave him a look of confusion. His palms were locked in front of him as he bowed, "I'm sorry, but I never tried to understand my special abilities. I am excellent at herbs and medicine and I accepted it to be my finality. That is all I have done my entire life. I joined the pack, so if a war broke out, I could help sooner than the medics. As you know, healers can only do so much"

I smiled at him. There was so much mystery that revolved around this man, or it was just as simple as he put it out to be. "I see. You must have a good bonding with the members now," I asked, trying to see if he would name any of them. 

Benjamin stopped in his tracks, making me stop as well. There was a faint smile on his face, as if reading between the words I had just spoken. He handed me a paper that he pulled from his robe. "This is half of the information, about a few interns. I will hand rest from the five remaining interns by evening. And If you were trying to ask whether I am one of the biased, then no. Rather, I have no bonding with the members. My sole purpose in life is medicinal service, nothing more"

I had no words to speak. Benjamin's words sounded true and the way he said it made my mind go blank about the doubts on him. He did another bow and left.

I saw his retreating frame and then I checked the papers he had submitted to me. The information was so well written it would be easy for cross-checking and when submitting; I did not have to fair this on other papers. He had done an exceptional job, especially with reducing my workload from this task. 

Now the other major task remaining was the dispute between the farmers. At least I knew that Sam and Arina wouldn't make this good of a report, so I had to see how things were going there and make the reports fast.

I rushed my feet to where the farms were located, as it would sure take me time. Where the buildings of commercial and residential habitat ended, there was a training gym and past it, far away, was the farming land. When I reached there, I saw Sam and Arina shifting the borders of the farm and it immediately had me worried. They just had to make a rough report, not change anything here!
