Chapter 334: My Luna
Boris sighed as he found himself being swamped with work as the newly reestablished Alpha of the Night Crawler pack. The days after the trial had been hectic, but after all was said and done, he got his former position back, and with it, came the power and the responsibilities that he once held before he was exiled in the first place.
Unfortunately, being the Alpha meant that the responsibilities he now held were magnified tenfold. And with it, came the paperwork.
"Ugh..." Boris groaned into his desk, mountains upon mountains of paperwork stacked against him despite his constant efforts at keeping them at bay. "I’ll run out of ink on my pen at this rate... Why in the hell is everything so cluttered anyway?"
He knew exactly what the answer to that question was. With his return as the Alpha came a massive reorganization of ranks with the Pack. Of course, he had to at least see everything that came and went within his jurisdiction, and with it, came the debilitating amount of reports that he had to read and sign on.
"I should’ve said no," he jokingly lamented as he kept on working. "I could’ve just worked directly under Aspen, but no... I said yes..."
Still, despite all of his complaints, Boris knew that he wouldn’t have it any other way. This was his rightful position, after all. Even if it was work that he didn’t necessarily miss, it was his responsibility either way.
That, and the higher position meant that he had more to give Lyne in his attempts to woo her.
That was the one shining light keeping him going against the hell that was paperwork. The fact that Lyne gave him a chance was something he didn’t want to squander. Sure, he was so busy these days that he could barely try and see her whenever they had the time, but what little time they did get was some of the best moments of his life.
Unfortunately, those good times will inevitably have to come to an end.
