Chapter 32 Alpha Benjamin Asked Them To Make A Request

"I think there must have been a misunderstanding on you guys' side because the reason I invited you both to my home wasn't for some punishment like you said but because you both saved my little sister's life," Alpha Benjamin's cool voice made the ladies recall what happened the previous night and how they got to meet Jocelyn.

They were all very eager to get out of this place that they completely forgot the good deed they did during their stay there.

"Oh… was that why you called us," Joanna said. The way she acted looked strange.

"I have heard so much about the two of you from that little brat… I mean from Jocelyn," Alpha Benjamin quickly corrected himself.

"Ever since she woke up today all she has been talking about is the two of you and how you both saved her from drowning. Seeing how she won't stop singing your names I guess you both must have left a good impression on my little sister".

"We did no such thing. You are overpraising us," Joanna said smiling. She and Audrey could finally breathe normally after learning the reason why they were invited to the Alpha's home.

"Elder brother, you know that is not true. I admit I have been talking about them for a while now but definitely not to the point of singing. You know I am bad at singing right," Jocelyn's words and funny expression made them chuckle. They chuckled in moderation but that wasn't the case with Anthony. He laughed out loud causing everyone's attention to be on him.

His laughter ceased when he turned and saw Joanna's stern expression.

"Pardon his manners…,"

"He must be the little rice ball you mentioned last night right?" Jocelyn interrupted Joanna, not letting her tender her apologies. She stood up and squatted in front of Anthony.

She extends her hand for a handshake. "Hi, little rice ball…,"

"Only my Big Sister can call me that," Anthony corrected Jocelyn fiercely.

"Anthony, don't be rude…,"

"It's ok Joanna. It's only right he corrected me if he has preserved that title only for you," Jocelyn said not taking offence at what Anthony said. He was a little boy after all.

"Anthony, I have heard a lot about you from Joanna. I heard you are her little Superman just like my Elder brother is my Superman. Let's get along ok," Joanna said, not retracting her outstretched hand.

Anthony raised his hand and shook Jocelyn's hands. "Ok," He said while beaming at Jocelyn.

Alpha Benjamin let out a dry cough to call his sister to order. Jocelyn stood up and sat on the couch after seeing her brother's cautious look.

"I am very grateful that the two of you went out of your way to save my little sister. To show you both my gratitude I am not going to thank you both with mere words alone," Alpha Benjamin said firmly.

"As a reward for saving Jocelyn's life you both can ask me for whatever you want. As long as that thing which you asked isn't for my throne or the life of anyone, I will gladly grant your request".

Joanna and Audrey turned and stared at each other not knowing what to say.

Actually, when they saved Jocelyn they expected nothing in return so hearing the Alpha ask them to make a request made them lost for words.

Tales about Alphas always paint them as cruel beings so his gentleness further made their head go blank. They couldn't tell whether he was a gentleman like he wanted them to believe or a heartless man like the legend says.

"Joanna, you can go ahead and ask for anything you want. He is the ruler of the entire pack, he can afford to give you whatever you want," Jocelyn intervened when she saw that Joanna and Audrey were hesitating to make a request.

"Give my Big Sister plenty of money; enough to make her stop getting beaten each time she asks my mum for money. Can you also make her powerful too so she won't ever get bullied…," Joanna covered Anthony's mouth with her palm to prevent him from making such a bold request.

His request made the Alpha turn and look at his Beta, the tan man who escorted the guests into the sitting room.

He indeed asked them to make a request but one of Anthony's requests was way out of his reach.

He can grant Anthony's request about giving them plenty of money but the request about making one of the girls powerful was something he cannot grant.

"About your request…,"

"Alpha Benjamin, you don't need to take what he said seriously. He is only a child so he was only spewing nonsense," Joanna said before the Alpha could make his final judgement. She didn't know how relieved her words had made the uneasy Alpha.

He is not a God neither is he the moon goddess so, how could he grant someone powers?

Anthony's request was just an impossible one and that is why the Alpha was very happy despite that he didn't let it show.

"Since you said his request is invalid then what are you ladies' real requests?" Alpha Benjamin asked coldly.
