Rejected the alpha mate 115

Chapter 114

Three months later.

I was getting bornit

Lucien had stopped me from going for training. I went for the pack events only where my presence was required. However, I excused myself from

the rest.

Usually a Luna was supposed to go and bless every new pup that was born. But with me also being pregnant, Lucien had limited that tradition and ordered that all new moms would gather in the pack house on one day when I would bless them all. It was a relief for me.

The pack members were very respectful toward me and with time, things sorted out. They looked at me with reverence as their new Luna. It was odd at first, but I felt like I was falling into the role naturally. My protective instincts for my pack members were growing each day.

However, amidst all this, the threat of me dying a few months later loomed. The bride hane’s curse hadn’t fully gone. It was evident from the thomy vine tattoos that Lucien still had on his chest. The Shaman had toki us that the ancestors of Lucien were born with these tattoos and they were linked to the Bride Bane’s curse. And that was why after Lucien married his mate, who was a lowly omega, the tattoos disappeared slowly. The curse was partially broken. However, he couldn’t understand why some tattoos still remained. What were the shadow wolves now resting? Were they hot satisfied with our mating? What did they want now!

took a ragged breath as I closed my next romance novel, Wuthering Heights, and decided to go to the trait

training arena, only to watch. Not to fight or

When I arrived in the main hall, I heard Vivi and Tom fighting with each other as usual in their common language. I shook my head and continued to walk toward the training arena.

I stood at the edge of the training arena as I watched the warriors spar. My lingers itched with the urge to join them. Two young fighters were circling each other, their muscles tense as they waited for an opening. The first warrior lunged forward, aiming at the ribs of his opponent. But the second warrior dodged him. He pivoted and brought his leg up to strike the first one’s thighs. The first one hit the ground with a grunt.

“No. No. Not” I blurted. “You are all wrong!” 1 addressed the first warrior. “You left his left side open when you shifted your stance. Instead you should have rotated your shoulder inward instead of leaning back. That would have kept your balance”

The wamon looked at me with astonishment. “Luna” They both bowed to me. “You’re right,” the first warrior admitted..

But before I could say further, a deep, rumbling grond vibrated from behind me.

“You’re not thinking of doing what I think you are, are you?” Lucien’s dark voice came with a warning.

1 tumed to see his striding toward me, his powerful frame radiating authority, Covered in sweat, he looked like sex on gorgeous legs. Like a thundercloud His dark eyes narrowed at me as he assessed me. I just couldn’t stop my laugh seeing how he was on police mode with me.

“Alphu Lucien, I was just watching.” I said as he came to stand in front of me.

He wrapped a possessive arm around my waist and pulled me closer. Tucking a strand of hair behind my ear with the other, he muttered, “That’s how it starts. The next thing I know is you are using those weapons.”

1 rolled my eyes. “You do realize I’m not made of glass.”

He ignored me and guided me out of the arena. “If you come here again, I

I shot him a glare. “Lucien!”

heard others giggling behind us. Walter was standing near the ring, watching us with a smirk.

Ignoring all of them, he pulled me closer and splayed his palm over my belly. “You’re carrying my heir. No risks.” Then he spoke lally for Walter to hear. “If I hear even a whisper of her trying to train behind my back, someone is losing a limbt”

Walter roughed uncomfortably. I smacked Lucien’s arm. “Stop being dramatict”

He pressed a kiss to the top of my head. “Watch me, love.”“

I sighed, but the way his protective and hence attitude made me feel warm–it made my heart ther

Later shat evening. I lounged on our bed, reading my unfinished novel. I was wearing one of Lucien’s oversized shirts with my haar open. Hoved wearing his shirts these days because they were so comfortable and soft and smelled like him. It calmed my frayed nerves. I had stopped puking a week ago, but in the morning today. I had puked again. Goddess, having babies wasn’t easy. My boobs had started feeling heavier

Chapter 114

Lucien emerged from the bathroom with a towel draped around his neck. His eyes landed on me and he padded over to me. He settled beside me and lifted my feet into his lap. He began massaging them. His cock was already bulging and rested against my legs.

I sighed i pleasure. “Mmm… that feels good.”

“You should rest more, wife, he murmured as he kneaded my sole.

“That’s what I’ve been doing. I wasn’t allowed to train, remember?” I said in a teasing

I in a teasing voice and pressed his cock with my leg.

He scowled. “Damn right. That’s how it’s going to stay” He moved his hand up my calves, my thighs and in between my sex. He rubbed my clit there, drawing a moan from me. He kissed me over there. “You smell intoxicating now that you’re pregnant.”

A shiver ran down my spine as he trailed lazily up. “Lucien_”

He brought his hand to my belly and kissed me there as his hand roamed over me gently. “You’ve made me so proud, Auren,” he murmured. “I can’t wait to see my pup

I brought my fingers in his hair and raked through them as I watched him looking at my belly with pure love. “I’m waiting for you, little wolf,” he said to our pup. “Here’s an update. Your nursery is getting ready. I have bought a few more toys, have looked through best schools in werewolves” packs and also across the world, and I’ve ordered some designer onesies for both of us.”

I chuckled. “Designer onesies?”

“Hush,” he silenced me. I’m talking to my pup. Stop interfering!”

Twenty minutes later. I gave my Alpha a blow job, because he was becoming too clingy. After he released, he grinned and slumped beside me in a deep slumber. “I love you, Auren,” he murmured and cuddled me in his arms.

I let out a silent prayer to the goddess. Please let me live. I want my happily ever after.

The next day we were all shocked by the news Tom, the cook, gave us

Chapter 115

Auren Pot

The next morning. I was seated at the dining table. There was an argument going on between Vivi and Tom in the kitchen. I shook my head. These two were always arguing but since yesterday, they had a lot of heated exchanges. I really couldn’t understand much, but it seemed like she was mally upset about something

Vivi stormed out of the kuchen holding a tray of drunk, shrimps and avocado salad in one hand and plates in the other. “He is insane” the gritted.

I served myself shrimps and chuckled. “What’s wrong. Vivi?

She shot a look toward the kitchen but didn’t say anything. She just placed the plate on the table and went back in. There was another round of argument between them and this time, I felt like I should go and look into the matter Just as I was about to go there. Lucien came. He dropped a kays on my head, and said. “What’s wrong with these two today?” He picked up shrimps from my plate and popped them in his mouth befor sliding in the chair next to me.

I shrugged “God knows” 1 murmured. “But they have been arguing since yesterday”

Lucien looked pizzled as he listened to them Vivi and Tom were in tus manor for decades, so he didn’t mind them shouting at each other. So he also started having breakfast with me, though I knew that he was hearing them

Five minutes

Later.

Tom came into the dining hall and bowed to us. “Alpha Luna”

Lucien turned to him with a frown. “What is going on, Tom?”

Tom glanced at me and his lips curled up in a gentle smile. “My Alpha, I wanted to inform you that I wanted to step down from my duties”

I gasped. “Tom, why! Are you feeling unwell‘ The hospital in our pack will take care of you free of charge.” From the corner of my eye. I saw Vivi coming out and standing with her arms crossed across her chest. Her eyes were moist like she was about to cry

Tom chuckled “No, my Luna. I am doing well” He shifted on his feet “Tm–I’m just getting too old for all this running around. I feel it’s

for

No I rasped, my throat choking with emotions.

Vivi’s tears slipped out. “You old buffoon, who is going to take you in at this age! You don’t have a family. Where will you even go

Tom lowered his face, an expression of worry crossing his face. “I have a nephew who lives in the human town, two hundred miles from here in the rait. I’m planning to visit him”

Lucien frowned. “I didn’t know you had a nephew in a human town.

Tom smiled sadly. “He is from the Iron Fant pack, but he is wolf–less. Since he couldn’t be of any help to the Alpha of the pack, the Alpha expelled him. Heartbroken, he came to me for help. I asked him to stay in our pack, but he simply didn’t want to be around werewolves. So he went to the human world and has made quite a fortune. Last week, he called me, saying that it was time for me to retire. He wanted to take care of me.”

His words made me so emotional that I put my hand on my heart. “He really loves you, Tom,” I said through my choked throat.

He took a ragged breath in. “He is a nice boy”

I could sense Lucien’s sadness through our bond, but he kept his face straight. He nodded solemnly. “If you want that you can go. You’ve served this park well. Tom. You will always have a place here.”

“And I’m going to min you.” I uid as I stood up and hugged him. “I think all of us will miss you”

Viri let out a g

cout a gasp and then rushed into the kitchen unable to stop crying

“I don’t think we will be able to find your replacemera,” I added.

Tom removed himself and said. “Oh don’t worry, Luna Auren. I took the liberty to find someone new to take my place. She is a talented omega”

“Who?” I asked, bewildered.

Lucien still looked calm. He really trusted Tom and sod

did I.

“Mirabe Ber” “Torn shouted

A joune omega stepped out of the kitchen. “She is a talented young omega, Luna Auren, Tom said, stepping aside to reveal her.

Mirabelle wat striking. Her short hair was dyed purple with yellow streaks. Her jamane scent was delicate but potent. Her eyes were a striking

green. She had piercings on her lip and eyebrow. There were tattoos on her left arm that climbed up inside her sleeve and peeked from her neck. She had thick eyelashes, and had dabbed a lot of foundation to hide her pimples on left cheek. Her lips were painted a cheery red. Wearing black jeans and a red shirt, she looked like a rebel kid off the block.

But despite her appearance, she bowed deeply before us. “Luna Alpha,” she greeted us with flawless submission. She kept her eyes averted in proper deference.

“She is not from this pack, Alpha Lucien, Tom said, turning to him. “But she is extremely talented. I found her working in an inn in the Blue Moon pack. She had made divine lasagna amongst other dishes. So I offered her the job over here. Tom pursed his lips. “Though I took the liberty to get her here, you are more than welcome to send her back.”

Lucien studied her carefully, “Does your Alpha know you’re here!”

“Yes. Alpha Lucien. It will be an honor to serve you and the pack. I vow my loyalty.”

Lucien glanced at Tom. “Tom speaks highly of you.”

Mirabelle lowered her head further. “He is too kind. I only wish to be useful in any way I can

Lucien looked at Tom. “She will have to go through the verification process.”

“Of course, Alpha.” Tom replied.

Lucien went silent for a second, and I heard him calling Tarian through mind link. Tarian came in a minute later, Mirabelle’s eyes flitted over to him briefly, lingering just a second longer than necessary. Tarian stood at the door, silent as he stared at her. He inhaled deeply as if caught off guard, his body tensing

Even if Mirabelle noticed, she didn’t react. Instead she turned to Tom and said, “Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I hope I deliver.”

Tom chuckled, shaking his head. “You’ll do just fine, Belle.”

Lucien looked at his Beta and let out a low hum. “Interesting”

I also turned to look at Tarian. He was staring at Mirabelle as if the moon had just descended from the sky and taken human form. flared and his sharp eyes darkened.

My lips twitched. Oh. Ah okay

This was going to be interesting

Tom has recommended you personally. You

I turned my attention to Mirabelle. “Welcome Belle. I’m sure that you are an exceptional cook because Tom has can start your duty as soon as Tom leaves.”

“I’ll be leaving in two days, Luna,” Tom informed me, catching me by surpriss,

Lucien intervened. “Mirabelle, make sure that my Luna gets the best diet. As you can see, she is pregnant. And if I see any lag on your part, you’ll be thrown into dungeons. No questions asked. Do you understand?”
