#Chapter 61: A Father’s Rule

Lucas POV

Hearing my father bring up Victoria made me mentally roll my eyes. He just had to mention her while Shana was sitting right next to me. I knew this conversation would upset her, given how she reacted when she found out Victoria was my fiancée.

Shana was still upset with me for listening to my father’s commands and requests, and rightfully so.

I understood why she would be upset, but she also doesn't understand what it was like to live in my shoes.

She didn’t know my father like I did.

He was a powerful and influential figure in our society, and his expectations weighed heavily on me.

It wasn't easy being an Alpha, especially one who was expected to uphold the family's legacy and protect the Busch's name.

“I don't need a friend who hides things from me and doesn't trust me enough with what's going on in their life," Shana's words echoed in my mind, causing me to worry.

She would be angry with me if I just accepted my father’s command. But going against him was easier said tha
