A Female Alpha’s Revenge novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644

Third Person’s POV

Ulrik paused for a beat, then answered seriously, “I think focusing on the job is the most important thing right now. Gloria often talks about you, saying you’re a really generous and broad minded person. So, I figured you’d also prioritize work and wouldn’t

sweat the small stuff.”

Ampelio gave a dry laugh, clearly awkward. “Well, now you’re making me sound like a petty jerk.”

He secretly knew Gloria was too high and mighty to say anything nice about him besides her brother, Tad.

Ulrik was careful not to offend anyone, especially Adelaide.

He had just gotten this job, and if he fell off this ladder now, he knew he’d never climb back up.

Seeing that Ulrik wasn’t biting, Ampelio grew bored and finally left.

The thought of the impending assessment already gave him a headache.

It wasn’t just him; all twelve commanders of the Royal Guard would be involved. He knew he was going to be universally hated- women are seriously petty!

Once everyone was gone, Ulrik summoned the members of the Lycan King’s Personal Wolf–Guard.

It was a small but rigorously selected elite force.

Ulrik spotted a familiar face–Griffin, Eugene’s cousin.

Ulrik checked the duty roster, then immediately promoted Griffin to the Lycan King’s personal bodyguard, allowing him to carry a weapon while on duty near Lycan Erasmus.

The rest of the guards maintained their current posts for now.

Ulrik felt a little nervous about his new position.

Lycan Erasmus had placed great faith in him, but he had also explicitly told him to follow Adelaide’s lead.

This meant his job would be impossible if she chose to make it difficult.

She hadn’t been outright rude today, but she hadn’t been welcoming either, and that left him uneasy.

He decided he should probably talk to Adelaide and clear the air.

“Work is work, and personal grudges are personal grudges.” If she was still resentful about the past, he was willing to apologize.

He suddenly remembered the day they ended their mating bond, when he had told Adelaide he “hoped she wouldn’t regret it.” Thinking about it now, he just felt foolish.

It was painfully clear who the one regretting things was.

Ulrik was working overtime, always the first to arrive and the last to leave.

1/2

Sometimes he personally patrolled the palace grounds; other times, he waited for the duty officers to submit their log reports after shift change.

According to regulations, after handing over their shifts, the staff on duty had to record the details of their patrols.

If there were any anomalies, they had to be recorded in detail; if there were none, they still had to note ‘no anomalies

Even with the normal quitting time set for five, he rarely left before six.

One day, Ulrik happened to run into Germain.

He knew Germain usually came in early and left late, so why was he leaving so soon?

Ulrik quickly approached and saluted. “Alpha Germain. Good afternoon.”

Germain looked at him with a warm smile. “Alpha Ulrik! I haven’t had a chance to congratulate you on the promotion. I’ve always thought you were incredibly capable–it was a disservice how things were before. I wish you the very best in your career and hope you keep rising.”

Ulrik was flattered by the praise. “Thank you for the kind words.”

Germain put his hands behind his back and continued, “Alpha Ulrik, if you and Luna Gloria have time, you should swing by the estate. My Luna just moved to the capital and doesn’t know the city well. If Luna Gloria is free, she could show her around; that would make her day.”

Ulrik explained, “Thank you for the invitation, but Gloria is pregnant and probably shouldn’t be traveling right now.”

“Of course, that makes sense. Well, maybe you could still come over and visit sometime soon. We can just chat.”

Germain laughed heartily. “Alpha Ulrik, this is a double blessing–a promotion and soon to be a father. I have to congratulate you again.”

Ulrik found Germain exceptionally friendly, but a tiny voice in his head wondered, “Was this too much?”
