Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 173

Gamma

“For what purpose?” She enquired, scowling.

“Any incidents that may necessitate a transfusion.” He shrugged.

She raised an eyebrow at him and groaned, “I do not intentionally engage in fights,” she said.

“As the pack’s Luna, you would remain within the secured pack-house alongside the women and children in the event of an incident.”

She perceived no necessity to rise and depart, and Macky did not compel her to do so.

Why did he want you to enquire of me?”

“Who can say, perhaps solely due to my presence with you.”

“He likely believes I would refuse him.” She was justified in her irritation following their conversation this morning, as he appeared to accuse her of instigating the council against him.

“Are you inclined to?” I will not transform you into Bella.

She was unable to respond to him as a shudder coursed through her body, and she experienced a connection to a comprehensive, pack-wide mind-link, having forgotten the peculiar sense of being integrated with others.

She then perceived Luke’s voice within her consciousness as he spoke to the whole pack simultaneously, ‘I, your Alpha, am instituting a compulsory blood donation for all pack members with wolves.’ All pack members are required to report to the pack’s hospital for blood tests during the next three days. Additionally, I would like to take this opportunity to make an announcement to everyone. I have been favoured with a partner by the Goddess Selena herself. I request that everyone provide a warm welcome to her. Bella has returned home and has acknowledged me as her Mate. Maddis and I are really pleased to have her return to the pack as our Mate and Luna. Regrettably, as you are well know, it was my responsibility that lovely Bella was apart from us for an extended period. Kindly assist me in reinstating Bella’s sense of belonging within our pack.

She almost sighed as he severed the connection; Macky only grinned at her. “That was long overdue,” he whispered.

“I assumed he would not.” She shrugged.

“He is currently preoccupied with numerous matters, Bella.” I am confident he did not intend to forget.

She almost asserted that the man acted solely because his mother instructed him to, but refrained from doing so. “It appears that everyone is donating blood.”

Macky nodded in affirmation. “I am confident he would desire you to donate blood today, as we were aware prior to others.”

“I suppose we should proceed and complete it then,” he said with a little smile. “Ben strongly encouraged his employees to donate blood.”

“How did you extricate yourself from that situation?””

“I informed him that I was prohibited, iron deficient, and anemic.”

“Astute reasoning,” he said with a smile.

Shortly thereafter, they proceeded towards the pack hospital, accompanied by several others. As she went, she was frequently addressed as “Luna.” They acknowledged her with modest bows of their heads, a gesture of respect.

She heard a loud growl of her name and quickly turned her head, discovering Macky’s hand on her arm almost immediately, only to find Brad approaching her rapidly. Upon seeing her brother, she smiled as Macky’s hand slipped from hers and Brad enveloped her in a large bear embrace, exclaiming, “I missed you, little sister.”

She reciprocated his embrace. “I also missed you.”

I was dissatisfied with my parents’ actions. Did not concur that it was the appropriate course of action whatsoever.

“I am aware that you did not attempt to deceive me.” She retreated and gazed up at him. “You resemble father significantly more.”

“Ah, shucks.” He gently tapped her chin with his hand, reminiscent of how her father occasionally did. Both of them laughed, stating, “Victoria and I would like to share a meal with you.” You will adore her; she is exceptionally kind-hearted.

“Is she not accompanying you or arriving?””

“No, she is at her place of employment.” Aspiring chef, passionate about cooking, deeply enamoured with the culinary arts. An apprenticeship is being undertaken at the Pack Restaurant in Rochester. She is present today.

“Oh,” she laughed, “You will gain weight; you have a fondness for food.”

“I engage in physical activity, and she provides me with ample nourishment.” He smiled. “We discover methods to expend the calories.”

Observed him wink at her and comprehended his intent. “May I accompany you?””

“Certainly, why would you pose that question to me?””

“Due to what I just heard.” He was now frowning slightly.

“Oh,” she had heard her father declare that he had not spoken with Luke since her exile. “You are my brother, therefore it is acceptable.”

He observed him glance at Macky and nod, “Gamma.”

“Bradley.”

She realised that there appeared to be some tension present even in that situation.

“Now,” Bradley remarked, “who are these three small puppies I observe?” He crouched down. I was completely unaware of that.

I observed the three of them begin to chuckle, after which the females said, “We’re not puppies.”

“Indeed, you are.” Brad laughed, and then his wolf, Brawny, emerged, playfully hissing at them. Similar to Tyler’s actions, he observed him feinting at the children, who then fled, prompting him to pursue them energetically, while they squealed with delight at being chased.

Observed him seize Arana by the waist and proceeded to pursue Lillv and Karis.

She stood observing beside Macky, who was also pleased at the scene, as he approached Minka while Karis fled, laughing. “He is a nimble little puppy, is he not?” Brad smiled at her while approaching, and she observed him performing arm curls with the females, hearing their laughter erupt as he began to pursue Karis playfully.

He resembled their father somewhat; she remembered him occasionally utilising the two of them as weights while walking around the home, mirroring Brad’s current actions, which they also found amusing and laughed about.

“You will never apprehend me,” Karis said with laughter.

“Indeed, I shall, young pup.” Brad smiled at him, set the ladies down, and proceeded to get him. Bella observed Brad skilfully evade the child, creating the illusion that Karis was escaping him, when in fact he was only allowing the boy to flee.

Bella, once the cherished lover of future Alpha Luke of the Red Moon Pack, finds her world shattered when she is banished from her pack. Her crime? Striking Luke’s newly discovered fated mate with claws unsheathed—a reflex her wolf, Tyler, cryptically defends with the words, “To protect the pup.” Stripped of her place in the pack and warned never to return, Bella complies, narrowly avoiding the rogue label since Luke has not yet ascended to full Alpha status. Heartbroken and resolute, she retreats to the human world, immersing herself in university life to complete her law degree. Bella carves out a new existence as a successful divorce attorney, far from the pack that cast her aside, the future Luna who despises her, and the secret she guards fiercely—her children, the legacy of a love she can never reclaim. Six years pass in self-imposed exile, but the past refuses to stay buried. When an official letter from the Red Moon Pack demands her return, Bella defiantly burns it, vowing never to step foot in Luke’s territory again. But Luke, now the reigning Alpha, is relentless. He will bring her back, no matter the cost. Bound by the constraints of human law and society, Luke cannot simply take her by force—her prominence in the human world complicates any attempt to make her disappear. Yet, he is determined to claim what he believes is his by right. As their paths cross again, Bella is thrust into a storm of conflicting emotions. Her wolf yearns for Luke, urging her to reclaim the bond they share, but Bella’s heart is torn. She despises the man who cast her out yet still feels the undeniable pull of their connection. To her, Luke’s motives are clear: he wants his heirs by his side, not her. She believes his wolf drives him to claim her, while the man himself sees her merely as the mother of his children, a convenient solution to his legacy. But is that the truth? Or does Luke harbor a deeper love for her that he has yet to admit—even to himself? In the battle between pride and fate, will Bella surrender to the mate bond or stand firm in her resolve to remain free? Only time will reveal whether their fractured past can heal, or if the scars will prove too deep to overcome.
