I strain my eyes, trying my hardest to focus on the papers right in front of me.
When I challenge my old man for the title of Alpha, I am surprised to discover that a majority of the duties consist of mundane paperwork. I feel suffocated by the sheer number of them. The experience makes me feel like a student again.
With a sigh, I reluctantly reach for my reading glasses, an item I prefer to use in solitude. I am so ashamed of needing them that I would rather face death; this secret, with all its nerdy implications, is my eternal burden. Brusco is the only person who knows I need them in the first place.
Then again, that is because he holds the position of Beta, the second-in-command in the town hierarchy.
