Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

In that moment, Nelly’s voice took on a chilling, otherworldly tone. Her eyes gleamed with an unnatural brightness as she remarked, “You guys should go on ahead. I’m heading home first.”

Alpha King Larry, who had been laughing heartily just moments before, turned towards her with a sense of unease. His alpha instincts picking up on something dark and dangerous in the air. “Nelly, why don’t you come with us? There are plenty of rooms at home.”

“Even then, that’s still the Morris residence, Alpha Morris. I’ll just be going back to my home,” Nelly insisted, her voice sending shivers down their spines.

Her words poured cold water on their plan, the atmosphere becoming tense and foreboding.

Alpha Morris had invited the children over because they were members of the Morris family. As for Grandpa, both of them were old friends. However, Nelly knew she had no place in their gathering. The truth of her divorce from Alpha Kilian was a raw wound that couldn’t be ignored, a mark of shame in the werewolf community.

Nelly was still cognizant of where to draw the line between the past and the present.

At that moment, Alpha King Larry exchanged a knowing glance with Alpha Kilian. An unspoken connection passing between them as Alpha Kilian suggested, “Grandpa, why don’t you and Alpha Jackson bring the kids home first. In the meantime, I’ll send Nelly home.”

Alpha King Larry’s brows furrowed, his alpha instincts flaring with suspicion. That’s not what I meant!

Desperate to change Nelly’s mind, he turned towards the children, his eyes pleading for their help. But they remained silent, understanding the futility of persuading Nelly once her mind was set. In their hearts, they knew not to challenge her authority.

Sitting still, none of the children dared to utter a word, the weight of Nelly’s decision heavy upon them.

Alpha King Larry was at his wits’ end, realizing that no one dared to challenge Nelly’s authority. He felt his power slipping away, outshone by the strength of a lone she-wolf.

Meanwhile, Alpha Wade observed the exchange, his eyes focused on Alpha Kilian. Nelly’s decision had put a strain on their already complicated relationship. And while Alpha Kilian had performed well in front of Alpha Wade earlier, it didn’t mean he had earned forgiveness.

Alpha Wade suggested, his voice laced with caution, “Why don’t I go home with you?”

“Gramps!” Donna pouted, reaching out to grasp his hand, her eyes pleading for him to stay.

Alpha Wade fell into a dilemma, torn between his desire to protect his granddaughter and his duty as an alpha. The tension in the air thickened, as the fate of their pack seemed to hang in the balance.

Meanwhile, Alpha Kilian threw a faint smile at Donna. Mmm-hmm, that’s my girl. Her timing is impeccable.

He then shifted his gaze to Ben and Tony, a flicker of annoyance flashing in his eyes. Forget it, I should be glad that they didn’t get in my way. Their loyalty lay with Nelly, their uncle’s ex-wife, and it fueled Alpha Kilian’s frustration.

Subsequently, Alpha Kilian remarked, his voice oozing with false reassurance, “Alpha Jackson, don’t worry. I’ll definitely send Nelly home safely.”

Before Alpha Wade could respond, Alpha King Larry swiftly added, his eyes narrowed with hidden intentions, “That’s right. Let him do it. Anyway, we should head back now, just as you promised the children. On top of that, I’m still waiting to beat you a few rounds in chess!”

Alpha King Larry’s thoughts couldn’t be more transparent to Alpha Wade, the unspoken challenge in his tone ringing loud and clear. Rolling his eyes in exasperation, Alpha Wade muttered, “Damn it, don’t think I don’t know what’s going through your mind.”

“I… I don’t have any ulterior motives at all,” Alpha King Larry mumbled, his words barely audible in the tense silence. There’s no way I can admit to it.

Alpha Wade gave Alpha Kilian a disapproving look before fixing his gaze on Nelly.

“Grandpa, don’t worry. I’m not a child. I know what I’m doing,” Nelly reassured him, her eyes glowing with determination.

“Did you hear what Nelly said? You should quit worrying for once,” Alpha King Larry persuaded him, his voice dripping with false comfort.

After a moment of contemplation, Alpha Wade let out a weary sigh. “Fine, just be careful.” He then threw a warning glance at Alpha Kilian, a silent message of caution.

“All right now, let’s go,” Alpha King Larry hurried them, his voice tinged with desperation. He couldn’t bear the thought of being left behind, of losing the connection with his pack.

Just before they left, Tony walked up to Nelly, his voice filled with concern. “Nelly…”

The latter smiled slightly at him, a bittersweet expression on her face. “Be good and take care of Gramps and Great-grandpa, do you understand?”

Tony nodded obediently, a sense of responsibility settling on his young shoulders.

“Go on now.”

As for you…” After looking at Nelly, Tony looked at Alpha Kilian with worry in his eyes, leaving him speechless.

What’s with that look? Aren’t sons supposed to be on my side? There’s something obviously wrong with this one.

“I’ll be fine.” Nelly smiled, her words meant to reassure Tony.

Tony nodded in acknowledgment, finally leaving with Alpha King Larry, the weight of their departure heavy upon them.

As Alpha Kilian continued to drive, he grumbled under his breath, the tension rising within him. It seemed that he must have a proper chat with Tony and Ben. If he couldn’t gain their support, the path that lay ahead would be even more treacherous. Unable to rely on force or authority, he knew he had to find a way into their hearts.

Holding onto that thought, Alpha Kilian looked to the side and glanced at Nelly, a mixture of curiosity and determination in his eyes. With a noticeable shift in his tone, he cleared his throat and pretended to ask casually, “By the way, what do Tony and Ben like?”

Slightly startled, Nelly narrowed her gaze as she looked up at him, her eyes burning with an intensity only a she-wolf could possess. With a slight curl of her lips, she asked, “Why? Are you planning to ingratiate yourself with them?”

With one hand on the steering wheel, Alpha Kilian supported his chin with the other, his expression unreadable. Upon hearing her question, he denied, “Of course not. It was just a casual question.”

“In that case, why didn’t you ask about Donna?” Nelly threw the question back at him, her voice laced with hidden meaning.

“I already know what she likes,” Alpha Kilian replied, his words dripping with confidence.

“Is that so?”

Alpha Kilian nodded, his gaze fixated on the road ahead.

“What does she like then?”

“Me!” Alpha Kilian declared, a hint of arrogance in his voice.

Nelly was dumbfounded, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Turning to the side, Alpha Kilian threw an earnest glance at her. “She loves me the most.”

Nelly retorted, her voice tinged with amusement, “You realize narcissism is a disease, right?”

“You don’t think so?” Alpha Kilian questioned, a mischievous glimmer in his eyes.

She smiled slightly at him, her gaze filled with both affection and exasperation. “Even if it’s true, it’s because she likes handsome men. Furthermore, you’re her daddy and also rich and powerful, ticking all the boxes.”

Nelly hit the nail on the head, exposing the truth behind Donna’s favoritism.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Cocking a brow, Alpha Kilian didn’t mind it at all. “So what if that’s the case? Who doesn’t like exceptional men? It only goes to show that my daughter has high standards.”

Nelly was left speechless, her heart torn between amusement and frustration.

Like father, like daughter. Only their words mattered, even if there was an agenda behind them. Alpha Kilian saw no problem in that, embracing the power and influence that came with their names.

At a loss for words, Nelly chose to remain silent, knowing that any further words would be futile.

As Alpha Kilian continued to drive, an idea suddenly struck him. He inquired out of curiosity, his tone tinged with a newfound vulnerability, “Back then, why did you agree with the two grandpas to marry me?”

It’s definitely not for the money. Nelly had never sought any financial benefits from their marriage, leaving the Morris family’s generosity untouched. She hadn’t cared for the lavish gifts or the social status that came with being Alpha Kilian’s partner. Nor had she used her position for personal gain. Their marriage, kept secret from the werewolf community, had been a mystery to Alpha Kilian.

Nelly’s eyes momentarily twitched, her heart pounding with the weight of her secret. The more she refused to answer, the more curious Alpha Kilian became. “Hmm? What did you do it for?”

Raising her gaze, Nelly locked eyes with him, her voice filled with a mix of emotions. “Do you really want to know?”

Alpha Kilian nodded, his obsidian eyes filled with anticipation.

“It was because…”
