Fated reborn - Chapter 142: Chapter 142

Luciano's POV.
I stood up from my bed, taking my walking aid. I was going to use the stairs, so I needed support. I took my keys and opened my door. I came outside and turned to lock the door.
I held my walking aid in both hands before inserting them under my armpits. I walked towards the hallway, with various maids and guards greeting me.
I walked down the stairs gently, not wanting to fall. I reached the chief guard's room and knocked.
"Who's there?" a masculine voice from inside the room said.
"It's me, Alpha Luciano... you're with my drugs," I replied. After a minute, the man opened the door, handing the drugs over to me.
"In this condition, you still came over to collect your drugs?" he said with a concerned face.
I looked at him with an expressionless face. What’s he even saying, I thought, and collected the drugs from his hands.
"You should have sent someone to come get it," he said. I didn’t reply but instead walked away.
I climbed the stairs and walked towards my room. I would not even like the meal anymore. It should have been cold by now, I thought, and opened my room door. I entered and closed the door. I hung my walking aid at the corner of the room and walked towards my bed. I sat on my bed and removed the covering I used to prevent things from entering my food.
The food looked saggy and cold. I stared at the food with a disgusted expression on my face. I took my drugs and opened them one by one before swallowing them. I drank water and took my cutlery from the tray.
I summoned all the courage to eat the food, but actually, I needed it. As I ate, I licked my lips to remove any food substance.
After a minute, I was done eating. I only halved the food because Mrs. Marian had put so much work into preparing it.
I stood up from my bed and walked towards my door with the tray in my hands. I opened the door to go drop the tray in the kitchen, but I saw a maid. I called her, and she came. She bowed before greeting, "Good morning, Alpha Luciano." I handed over the plate to her.
"Take this to the kitchen... don’t let Ma Marian see the remains on the plate," I said.
She took the plate from my hands and walked towards the kitchen. I entered my room and shut the door. I walked towards my bed.
"Ahh, what a meal," I said as I bounced on my bed. "Ouch!... just forgot I just ate," I said as I felt a sharp pain on one side of my stomach.
I quickly sat up straight and adjusted myself to the bed frame to lean my back on it. I stared at the room with a weird expression. "This room hasn’t changed a bit. I have to change the interior to the latest model," I said, rubbing my chin.
So it’s really true that when someone is bored, they'll start thinking about things they don’t even know existed, I thought with a slight smile on my face.
"I have to engage myself with something," I muttered, standing up from my bed. I searched around my room, looking for something to do. There was nothing. Everything was arranged, and unwanted things were thrown away.
"Ok, I’ll just go ask someone, maybe those maids," I muttered, walking towards the door. I took my walking aid and used it. I opened the door and came outside.
I locked the door and walked towards the pack exit door. I climbed down some stairs and walked towards the door. When I reached the door, my eyes caught sight of two maids.
"Two of you, come," I said. They looked at me, then walked quickly to where I was.
"Good day, Alpha Luciano," they both greeted in unison.
"So I called two of you to ask if there’s anything to do around this pack building. I want to engage myself in something," I said. They were stunned.
"Ok, sir... if you like books, there’s a royal library... over there," one of the maids said, pointing to a small building at the corner of the pack building. The building was joined together with the pack’s building.
"Ok... I’ve totally forgotten about this library," I muttered and walked away from the maids, walking towards the library building.
I reached the door and pushed it open, and the secret behind this door was revealed. It was a world of books, with guards and maids in it. Do they read here too? I thought.
They all turned to look at me, and their eyes widened in shock, because I’ve only been to this library a few times, and that was when I was little.
They all greeted me in unison. I waved and walked towards the bookshelf, looking for a particular book—my father’s best book. It was titled How to Rule a Pack.
The book was really big, holding up more than 2,000 chapters, and a chapter should be four pages. This was a book my father dedicated his time to.
I went around the shelves looking for the book. When I saw it, I took it out of the shelf. It wasn’t as heavy anymore. I took it and walked towards a chair and sat down. I leaned my walking aid on the floor and started reading. It was as boring as I ever thought, and some pages were torn out.
"What’s this... my greedy father kept some knowledge for himself," I said quietly. I knew he was the only one who read this book.
I was distracted by the buzzing sound that came out from my pocket. It was my phone, and it was ringing. I brought the phone from my pocket and saw it was Florian.
I looked at it with disgust before picking up.
"Hey babe, you’ve broken my heart a lot!" she said.
"What’s the matter?" I said nonchalantly.
"You’ve announced a new mate?"
"Yes. Why bother? You were never my mate," I replied. I could hear her crying at the other end of the phone.
"Is it that slave you call Lunawyn?" she said, crying more. What? Did she just insult Lunawyn?
"Get out of my life!" I yelled and ended the call. Everyone in the library stared at me. I looked at them with a carefree expression before going back to the story I was reading.
"Now, where was I?"
