Chapter 8 He chose a loser as my Beta
“Just an employee?”
Hans gasped, releasing Thane’s collar.
What is even wrong with the way he was dressed? To me, it was professional, and it was his masculine figure that decided to show itself by hugging his shirt.
Also, Hans’ shirt is like that; his figure is visible, and any girl who sees it will want to touch him.
“Alpha Amelia? Can I go now?” Thane asked, his hands trembling. Hans must have scared him so much.
“The files are here. Please go through them and choose; they all applied this morning.”
Before I could say a word, he was already out of the office.
As soon as the door shut, I turned to Hans, giving him a deadly look.
“What on earth was that, Hans?” he scoffed, rolling his sleeve to the wrist.
“I only showed him that this is my territory and he shouldn't come in whenever he likes. Can you even see the way he was dressed? That was unprofessional.”
Like seriously?
“It wasn't, Hans. I told you not to meddle in anything regarding my Pack. Why don't you stay in your lane by following the contract rule? Besides, look at the way you dressed, too.”
He looked at himself,
“Girls must have stopped what they were doing and had turned you into a television on your way here.”
“Are you jealous?” he raised a brow, “Do I look like I am?”
I sneered at him and drew the files before me, but he took them away. But before I could ask him why he did that, he started complaining about those who had applied for the position.
“35 and single?” he gasped, “Just take a look at him, he is handsome, and he has the perfect body to seduce a woman. Amelia, this is a no for me.”
He threw the first file on the desk like trash and flipped the second file.
“This one is also a no, he will make you sin.”
What da! Does he think I am a whore?
I watched him throw four more files on the desk, complaining they were handsome, single, strong, and would seduce me.
Then came the last file; his lips curled into a smile when he flipped it. And for the first time, he sighed in relief, then gently placed the file in front of me.
“This should do,” he crossed his arms, then stood aside.
My jaw dropped as soon as my eyes fell on the picture inside the file.
“You want me to accept this loser as my Beta?”
He nodded his head, smiling smoothly.
Hans must be out of his mind. Didn't he see the guy’s description? He isn't strong, has no experience as a Beta, he is so skinny and funny looking, and to top it all, he is an omega, a low-ranked dude in the Pack.
“He doesn't even have a wolf, Hans!” I let out a frustrated scream. Annoyingly, he picked up the file and flipped it again.
“Oh, I skipped that. But he doesn't need a wolf to protect you; you are strong and have me, who will safeguard you.”
What! Great! This is what I have caused for myself.
“This dude will be your Beta, Amelia,”
“I don't need him, I need strong dudes with wolves. Look at them, they have experience in this Beta thing, they are well trained, and they…”
He places his finger on my lips, making my heart flutter.
“Relax, Alpha, this is the guy I chose for you. And trust me, you will enjoy working with him.”
Oh, no! I am doomed!
“Since he doesn't have a wolf yet, he can be more like an assistant to you, okay?”
I can't believe I am doing what Hans wants. An omega as my Beta? How dare he even apply for this job? No biggie, he will regret ever working with me.
“Him?” Thane reeled back, and his jaw dropped in astonishment.
“He is a loser, Alpha Amelia, you can't choose him. I suggest this one; he is strong, he has fought in wars, and his wolf is powerful. Just a word from him and everyone will disperse.”
Ahh, the kind of Beta I need.
I stole a glance at Hans, sitting on a chair, his leg resting on the other while he stared at Thane, who was trying to poison my mind.
“Thane, go bring in the dude!” he commanded, his voice sounding like a thunderclap. Thane staggered out of the office, almost hitting his head on the wall.
Honestly, I am so disappointed that Thane, who is huge, could act that way. What then will happen to that loser if Hans yells at him?
My goodness, I didn't become an Alpha for this.
A few minutes later, a gentle knock came from the door.
“Come in,”
I sighed, leaning on the chair.
The moment that guy stepped inside the office, a gasp escaped my lips.
He is so fragile, and he walked like a scared she-wolf. My eyes darted to where Hans was sitting, but he only had that mischievous look.
Is he kidding me? That guy looked much better in the picture than in real life.
And when Hans cleared his throat, his eyes bulged in shock, and he nearly ran out of the office.
Just by clearing my throat? What if he thundered like earlier on?
“Hans!”
I couldn't help but yell his name in frustration.
“He is so flimsy, I can't take him!”
Hans chuckled, stood up, walked over to the dude, and placed his mighty hand on his weak, small shoulder.
“What is your name?”
With shaky eyes and trembling hands, he lifted his head, and as soon as his eyes came in contact with mine, he quickly looked away.
“Axel Calloway.”
Axel? Could things even get any worse?
“See? His name means father of peace, Mate, he will bring you peace.” He chuckled, winking at me. I was provoked at that moment and wanted to yell at him, but I controlled myself.
Was that a joke or what? Hans is out of his mind.
