Chapter 78: A run

Adam pov

I looked around and I couldn't find Imogen, I know that she must have felt hurt because of what happened tonight, I sighed knowing that there was nothing I could do. This evening was less busy ave and I was glad that I could breathe fresh air today. After a few hours, I stood up from my sitting and walked closer to my dad

"I'm going inside dad, I have other things to attend to," I said

"How long did you know about the kids" He asked, This was not the time for this kind of discussion, but I knew that I couldn't ignore it.

"A few days before your surgery," I said

"Dad, I need to go now" I added before he could ask any more questions.

"Alright son," He replied and I sighed and turned away from him, I was glad that he didn't persist. I know nothing about my kids and I couldn't tell him that or maybe that I'd exactly what I should tell him

"What am I thinking" I said out loud trying to listen to my thoughts, I walked to my study room, if I got busy with work, I would likely forget everything else and focus more on the pack's affairs. I opened the door of my study room and walked to my desk, as I sat there, I couldn't help but think if Imogen was still in love with Maxwell, I needed to stop thinking of negative things but it wasn't easy

I opened a file and I began to read through it, I couldn't concentrate but I was trying and after a few minutes, I felt frustrated and I stood to my feet, I exited the room and I made my way through the hallway, I claimed down the stairs as I made my way to the kitchen, a lot of servants were there and the chef bowed his head to greet me

"I need a cup of coffee," I said

"Ok sir" He replied and made the coffee for me, he gave me the cup of coffee and I exited the kitchen, this is how my life has always been, I don't do chores or anything like normal humans, everything is done for me but I had responsibilities, I had a whole pack looking up to me and I couldn't let them down, most times I have to disturb my sleep, just so that I won't disappoint anyone but it wasn't easy, it hasn't been easy for me to live my life to please a whole town, it hasn't been easy making sure that everyone was happy and even the poor felt equal with the rich

It is just a feeling, a feeling of not being bullied, a feeling of equality but in the real world, none of that is true, We all hate ourselves but I didn't want that in my pack, and chasing the feeling away was draining because I wasn't only trying to chase the feeling away for myself but for an entire pack, I made everyone feel like one family and I have to keep it that way

I know that I can't get any work done in this state so I didn't bother to go back to my room, instead I made my way room undressed and made my way into the bathroom, It is a place I desperately need to me, I put on the shower and as I stood under the shower, I couldn't help but exhale sharply as I felt the cool and warm water on my skin

After standing there for hours, I wish I could stand here forever but none of that is possible, It felt like running away from my trouble, As I stood under the shower, it made me almost forget that I'm the Alpha and I have a pack to rule and I can't let them down, I can't even make a slight mistake but it was just for a few minutes, the feeling wasn't permanent and for a while, I felt at peace

I walked out of the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist, I opened my closet and then brought off my pajamas. After putting it on, I walked over to my bed and I claimed on it and as soon as my body hit the soft bed, I fell asleep

I woke up very early the next morning, I stretched my hands and legs. I picked up my toothbrush and brushed my teeth, I washed my face and made my way out of the bathroom, I decided to go for a run. I made my way out of the house through the back door and then I ran through the bushes, It was a quiet area and my favorite place to run. I decided to head back to the pack house before the sun was fully out

As I entered my room, I walked straight to my bathroom, turned on the shower, and closed my eyes as the warm water from the shower hit my skin, I was successfully able to get Imogen out of my mind for a moment and the fact that the mate bond wasn't there yet made it easier and although I know that they are also my children, I decided to let her bring them back herself, I wouldn't interfere until she needs my help

I walked out of the shower wearing a bathrobe, I stood in front of the mirror as I combed my hair, I had a meeting with the elders to attend today. I opened my wardrobe and pulled out a blue jeans and a black shirt. I picked up my phone and out of the room to my study, My beta would meet me there before the meeting, I was glad that I was able to balance one thing, I was able to balance the pack

I walked into my study room and tried to work on a few fikes before the meeting began
