Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

209



Through A Womam Tranquility was one of the largest bars in Moonwalk pack. Decked out in haute couture, Lara looked chic from head to toe. She, while following the address on her phone, had arrived at a corridor. Just when she was about to go forward, she was stopped by two men in sharp black suits who were standing guard. “You’re not allowed to enter,” Lara knitted her brows.

“I was invited by Alpha Zachary,” she proclaimed. Both men, having heard her words, stepped aside at once. “Are you Ms. Gareth?” Lara nodded. “Please follow me,” one of them instructed before leading the way. Narrowing her eyes, Lara hesitated briefly before deciding to follow him. After walking more than ten meters, they arrived at the door of a private room that the guard knocked on.NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Boss, she’s here.”

“Come in.” No sooner had the guard heard the voice inside did he open the door and looked at Lara. “Ms. Gareth, please.” With a vigilant look in her eye, Lara sauntered into the room. Inside the private room, she could still see everything clearly despite its dim lighting. The table and floor were strewn with empty liquor bottles, while Alpha Zachary, wearing a complex expression, was sitting languidly on the sofa. Once Lara had entered the room, the guard quickly left and closed the door behind him.

After being briefly stunned, Lara, with a surprised look on her face, asked Alpha Zachary, “Do you own this bar?” Alpha Zachary, after casually grabbing a bottle of wine and pouring himself a glass, looked up at her. “Is there a problem?” Lara put down her bag and walked over to take a seat. “No, I’m just surprised, that’s all.”

Breaking out a smirk, Alpha Zachary downed the wine he poured in one gulp. Lara threw him a glance as this wasn’t her first time at the bar. During her previous visits, she had heard rumors about how ruthless the mysterious owner of the bar was. It was just that she had never imagined Alpha Zachary to be him.

From her perspective, Alpha Zachary was a kind young man whose character contradicted such a reputation. When she first proposed that they work together, she envisioned leveraging Alpha Zachary’s enmity as a means to achieve her goals. Given the current situation, she quickly realized that it was she who had underestimated him.

As a result, it was time to reevaluate what their proposed partnership would entail. After scrutinizing him with a quick look, Lara suggested with a smile, “Do you mind if I get a drink?” Alpha Zachary, without saying a word, poured a glass for her.

“Thank you,” Lara replied. Instead of responding to her, Alpha Zachary downed another glass of wine. “Does Nelly know that you own this bar?” Lara asked all of a sudden.

Zachary, who was in the midst of pouring another glass, froze for a fleeting moment before putting the bottle down as if nothing had happened. When he looked up at Lara, his expression couldn’t be more telling. She let out a gentle laugh.

“It’s clear that she doesn’t know.” “This is none of your business,” Alpha Zachary asserted. Wearing a knowing smile, Lara finished her drink in one go before looking at him. “It’s true that it has nothing to do with me, but I was just curious as to what Nelly meant to you. But now, it’s clear that she doesn’t seem to mean much.”

Crack! With a jarring sound ringing in the background after Alpha Zachary kicked something, he threw her a threatening gaze. “You’re not even worthy of bringing up her name!” The smile on Lara’s face instantly froze.

“Don’t try to impose your own assumptions on me,” Alpha Zachary warned, seething through his words. Upon regaining her senses, Lara sneered, “Why are you being so defensive? I was just asking a casual question.

I really don’t know what’s so good about her, especially after all that she has done. Can it be that you’re still harboring hope of getting together with her?”

“That’s my business,” Alpha Zachary insisted. Lara nodded. “Yes, of course it is. Given how willingly all of you let yourselves be manipulated by her, it definitely has nothing to do with me!” As a sudden slap rang out, it was followed by the sound of a glass shattering on the ground.

“If that’s all you have come here to say, our conversation ends here,” Alpha Zachary declared. Lara, staring angrily at him, grabbed her bag and left.

However, before she took more than a few steps, she realized she was overreacting to Alpha Zachary’s slight. After all, it would be hard for her to achieve her goals alone. On the contrary, with Alpha Zachary’s help, she might be able to demonstrate to Alpha Kilian that she was the one who cared for him the most.

Cognizant of her priorities, she endured the humiliation and turned around to face Alpha Zachary.

“Without my help, you will never succeed in taking down Alpha Kilian for the rest of your life.”

When she didn’t hear a retort from Alpha Zachary, Lara returned to her seat with her anger suppressed. “I admit that I’m jealous of Nelly,” she added, “because I don’t understand why everyone is so enamored with her other than for her beauty. Can it be that just being gorgeous gives one the license to steal something from another?” Alpha Zachary’s eyes narrowed slightly, while Lara paused to take a deep breath.

“Nevertheless, this is for the better. You’re doing this for Nelly’s sake, while I for Alpha Kilian. Hence, our collaboration will be a fair deal.” Alpha Zachary gave her a dubious look. “Since you’re doing this for Alpha Kilian, why are you on my side?” Sorrow crept into Lara’s eyes at the mention of the topic. “If he continues to stay high and mighty, there’s no way I can make him mine. Only by falling from grace can he really understand that I’m the one who has always been true to him.”

Zachary’s gaze darkened in response. “You are indeed the epitome of the saying-‘Hell hath no fury but a woman scorned.'” At that moment, Lara looked at him with sadness reigning in her eyes. “I’m not expecting you to understand. Everyone thinks that I’m coveting his money, but in truth, his person is what I’m really after.” Alpha Zachary didn’t comment about her feelings.

“I’m well aware that you hate him to the core after what he has done to your parents. Therefore, I won’t stand in your way if you want to take everything from him, but I do have one condition.” “Go on.”

“Regardless of how this ends, you’re forbidden from telling him about our collaboration,” Lara stated. Alpha Zachary narrowed his eyes at her. “Don’t worry, I, too, hope that you can live out the rest of your life with Alpha Kilian.” There was no reason for Lara to doubt the sincerity of his words, for only in that scenario would Nelly be his.
