Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Thus, Alpha Kilian turned a blind eye to the rumors circulating in the public, his wolf instincts guiding his actions.

There were two reasons behind his decision. First, he could stop women from pouncing on him, their pheromones tempting but distracting. Second, he thought of ditching the play pretend and making Lara his mate, his Luna for life. But as the years passed, the urge to do so never overwhelmed him.

As he said nothing, Alpha king Larry flew into a rage, his alpha dominance asserting itself.

“If you love her, I won’t stop you from remarrying her. But if that’s the case, you should stay away from Nelly,” Alpha Larry growled, his voice dripping with authority. “Nelly’s a good girl. Back then, I took a liking to her and arranged for you to marry her. However, things didn’t go the way I wanted, and it ended up hurting Nelly. Alpha Wade nearly had a fall out with me. Nelly is the Jackson family’s only hope, Alpha Kilian. If you think of me as your grandpa, please don’t hurt Nelly’s feelings. I don’t want Alpha Wade to worry.”

Alpha Kilian’s lips thinned, his wolf instincts reminding him of the pack’s needs and the weight of his responsibilities.

Back when he divorced Nelly in secret, Alpha Larry didn’t even say these harsh words to him despite refusing to talk to him for two whole months, their connection strained.

“I know, Grandpa,” he huffed, showing his submission to the alpha king’s words.

Alpha Larry gazed at him, his wolf eyes piercing. Tiredly, he sighed. “Alpha Kilian, I’m not forcing you to follow my wishes. I just hope you won’t regret your decisions.”

Alas, Alpha Kilian’s heart was in turmoil now, the competing desires of his wolf instincts and his human emotions tearing him apart.

….

Back at the pack’s territory, Lara headed to the bathroom to take a shower, the warm water soothing her conflicted thoughts. After that, she sat on her bed and spaced out, her mind wandering in the web of secrets and emotions.

Comprehension finally dawned on her after she connected everything together, the pieces of the puzzle forming a clear picture.

Alpha Kilian didn’t remember that she loved eating at that restaurant. He only went there because Nelly was there, his wolf instincts drawn to her presence.

Prosper Technologies’ project wasn’t that great, either. He only grew interested in it because Nelly worked there, her intelligence and determination captivating him.

Everything he did was because of Nelly, the woman who held his heart captive.

Lara couldn’t help but find the situation ironic, the realization hitting her with full force.

Initially, she thought Nelly was a gold-digger, a woman who wanted to get acquainted with Alpha Kilian for selfish reasons, but now she knew what their relationship truly was, their deep connection and shared history.

Previously, she found Nelly’s name familiar but couldn’t recall where she heard it from. After all, the Nelly she heard of was an ordinary-looking girl from the countryside with bad taste and a bad temper. Thus, she didn’t pay any attention to her or connected both names together.

As that thought occurred to her, Lara slumped her shoulders in dejection, her heart heavy with the weight of her realization.

After recalling how Alpha Larry treated Nelly tonight, she suddenly realized the distance between Alpha Larry and her, the growing divide.

After pacing around her room, she gave the matter some thought before deciding to call Alpha Kilian, her voice steady but full of uncertainty.

The call went through rather quickly, the connection between their souls still strong.

“Alpha Larry, how is Old Alpha Morris doing?” Lara asked, her tone cautious.

“He’s fine. He has fallen asleep,” Alpha Kilian responded, his voice tinged with exhaustion.

Lara promptly offered an apology, her words laced with regret. “I’m sorry. I didn’t know this would happen. Forgive me for being rash, for I didn’t know about your relationship with Nelly.”

“This has nothing to do with you,” came Alpha Kilian’s answer, his wolf entwining with his human side. “You don’t have to take it to heart.”

“Actually, you should’ve told me about you and Ms. Jackson,” Lara said, her voice tinged with both frustration and realization. “That way, I wouldn’t have wasted my time doing all those things.”

Alpha Kilian fell silent for a moment, the weight of his secrets and decisions heavy in the air. “There’s nothing to say. It was all in the past.”

“Do you mean-” Lara started to question, but Alpha Kilian cut in, his voice firm and resolute.

“Lara, get someone else to handle the project with Prosper Technologies,” Alpha Kilian ordered, his words leaving no room for negotiation.

“Mm?” Lara could barely hide her surprise, confusion etched across her face. “Didn’t you say you’ll take over the project?”

“I’m busy with other projects,” Alpha Kilian explained, his true reasons buried deep within his heart. “You’ll be in charge of the project from today onward.”

I’m not getting him wrong, am I? He wants to keep a distance from Nelly, right?

Her hope rekindled as she swallowed her doubts, her voice eager. “Alright, got it. I’ll make the arrangements.”

“That’s it for now. Talk to you later,” Alpha Kilian dismissed her, their conversation coming to an abrupt end.

Lara gripped her phone excitedly, the flicker of hope burning brightly within her heart.

She knew Alpha Kilian well after working together with him for years, his actions speaking louder than his words.

It was obvious that Alpha Kilian wanted to keep his distance from Nelly, his wolf instincts guiding his decisions.

With that thought in mind, Lara took a deep breath, ready to fight for her chance at love.

Nelly and Alpha Wade left for dinner, their connection strong and unbreakable. They didn’t tell the kids anything, but the young wolves could deduce who they had dinner with, their instincts always alert.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Staring at the photo, Donna asked, “So this is our great-grandfather, the man who holds the key to our heritage?”

“He’s also Gramps’ friend,” Ben chimed in, his voice full of curiosity.

Donna inquired, her mind racing with possibilities, “It does seem very likely, right? Our family secrets slowly unraveling.”

Their imagination went wild, their hearts filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation.

They were deep in discussion when a commotion sounded at the door, their senses sharp and alert. At once, Tony pocketed his phone, and the three of them acted as though nothing had happened, their gazes innocent and curious.

“Nelly, Gramps, you’re back!” Donna hopped toward them, her young wolf energy shining.

“Why are you still awake?” Nelly queried, her love and concern for her young wolves evident in her voice.

Donna retorted, her frustration plain to see. “Why are you back this late? You should’ve taken care of yourself.”

“Gramps and I came across something. That’s why we came back late,” Nelly explained, her voice tinged with both secrecy and protectiveness.

Donna pouted, her emotions transparent and honest. “We were worried since you were still outside and couldn’t fall asleep. We missed you.”

Right then, Tony went up to them, his protective instincts flaring. “Nelly, did anything happen? Are you alright?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. You have to go to school tomorrow morning, so it’s time for you to go to bed,” Nelly urged, her maternal instincts taking over.

“Got it,” the kids nodded in unison, knowing when to obey their Alpha.

Back in the living room, Alpha Wade’s brows were knitted together, his wolf senses still on edge. He was obviously still worried about his friend, his loyalty unwavering.

“Grandpa, stop worrying. The doctor said Old Alpha Morris is fine, right?” Nelly tried to calm his worried heart, her love radiating from her.

“I was really afraid that Alpha Larry would pass away today. We lied to them about the kids, so I feel really guilty,” Alpha Wade admitted, his guilt evident in his voice.

His heart weighed heavy with remorse, so Nelly suggested, her voice gentle and understanding. “Why don’t we tell Old Alpha Morris the truth? It may relieve his worries.”

Taken aback, Alpha Wade shot Nelly a stunned look, his eyes searching for understanding.

“I don’t want you to feel burdened,” Nelly explained, her love for him shining through.

Alpha Wade pondered over the matter briefly before shaking his head, his wisdom guiding his decisions. “No. This isn’t the right time to reveal the truth. We’ll have to wait until Alpha Kilian gets married. By then, we can tell them about the kids.” He paused and glanced at Nelly, his heart full of love and understanding. “I didn’t mean to stress you out.”

Nelly’s lips curved slightly, her love for him evident in her smile. “I know, my Alpha.”

“It’s getting late. We should get some rest. I’ll have to visit Alpha Larry at the hospital tomorrow morning,” Alpha Wade said, his voice tired but determined.

Nelly bobbed her head and headed back to her room, her steps light with hope and determination.

Meanwhile, the kids were eavesdropping on the ongoing conversation in the living
