Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 174

May I accompany you?

A few pack members were standing nearby, observing and laughing. Several of them entered and actively obstructed Brad, instructing Karis to flee. The girls were vociferously urging Karis to go, bouncing on the balls of their feet and shrieking with delight as he narrowly evaded capture by their uncle.

Tyler was there in her thoughts, and Bella sensed a profound satisfaction within her as she observed the youngsters genuinely playing for the first time within the pack.

She and Bella would play with them at the beach, and she could also sense her communicating with Maddis, urging him to witness the joy of their puppies at that moment.

Bella informed Tyler that their father had mentioned Brad and Luke’s discord, prompting Tyler to exhale in irritation before disregarding her apprehensions.

At this moment, her sole desire was for Maddis to recognise their happiness.

I observed Macky bend down to the girls and instruct, “Why don’t you two assist your brother, confront your uncle, secure victory, and sit on him.”

She observed their eyes illuminate, and then they departed, exclaiming, “We shall apprehend him for you, Karis.”

Observed Brad as he was gazed upon, experiencing utter devastation; he let them to seize him, subsequently collapsing into the snow, allowing them to ascend onto him, restraining him while calling for Karis to assist.

She laughed as she observed the three of them pile on top of him, exclaiming their victory and jumping joyfully, while Brad found them too strong for him to rise. He then erupted in laughter, enveloping the three of them in his arms and exclaiming, “Ha, I have captured you all.” “I win.” He grinned with unabashed audacity.

It was quite gratifying to observe their collective happiness. Her brother appeared unchanged, and she had been so engrossed in the youngsters playing with Brad that she startled when a hand slipped through her arm. “Who is that?”It was Dani.

“This is my brother, Brad.” She smiled at Dani.

“They appreciate him, and he is entertaining, I observe.”

“It has always been that way, even in my presence.” She smiled, saw Brad rise and place the children down.

They were all shouting “again, again.” It was characteristic of wolfen youngsters to like being pursued.

“I will count to ten; commence now,” Brad stated with a smile.

I observed them all giggling and saw them flee from him. He was destined to become an exemplary father; it is unfortunate that Victoria was not around to see this.

He resembled their father significantly, however possessed the mischievous trait of their mother, akin to her disposition.

“Why is everyone congregating and observing?”Dani enquired of her subsequent moment.

“This is the inaugural occasion on which they have observed Luke’s children engaging in play in this manner.”

“What significance does that hold?”

Bella grinned at her; this was rather more challenging to elucidate to a human lacking understanding of wolfen lore. The pack observed their future Alpha exuberantly exploring the area for the first time. For most of them, it was probably their initial interaction with the youngsters, which is why they were obstructing Brad and conversing with the children.

As she observed the pack members, she noted their happiness and smiles, relishing both the sights and their brief interactions with the youngsters.

“They are content and desire the children to find happiness here.” Furthermore, it is the inaugural occasion for the most of them to have encountered them.

“How is it that they all possess knowledge of their identities?”

“They simply do; it’s a tightly-knit community.” She shrugged, unable to elucidate to Dani that each pack member could detect the Alpha blood in the youngsters; everyone there recognised their identities solely by scent.

Brad returned with Karis, use him as a weight for overhead presses. “I have apprehended him, Bella.” He smiled at her while advancing, while Karis laughed continuously, accompanied by the females who attempted to match his lengthy strides.

She observed Brad’s cheerful face expression transform as he rolled Karis down and placed him on the ground. She scowled at his abrupt shift in demeanour and turned to observe his focus. Luke was travelling in this direction, smiling and appearing content as he observed the events, accompanied by Benzy and Lanky, who shared his demeanour.

He turned back to Brad, reached down, and embraced her softly. I should depart.

He whispered. Subsequently, he gazed down at the youngsters. “Uncle Brad must depart,”

“I shall pursue you all again shortly.” He then just turned and departed from their presence.

Bella observed Macky audibly exhale and turned her gaze towards him. He gazed at her brother as he departed.

“That requires rectification,” Tyler exhaled in frustration at her.

“It is not our responsibility to rectify, Tyler.” She had heard that they had not communicated at all, not since.

Luke had exiled her and had not communicated with the guy; to her father’s knowledge, they intended to resolve the matter independently. ‘We have plenty issues to address with Tyler,’ she perceived Tyler’s exasperated thoughts once again within her head.

A hand caressed her face, and she recognised it was Luke from the electric sensation on her skin. “I apologise for the interruption; Brad and I…”

“I heard,” she acknowledged.

“I will attempt to rectify that; it may require some time,” he informed her as she gazed up at him.

“It was truly delightful to witness your happiness, Bella.” He grinned at her.

She nodded once again; she had genuinely experienced happiness for the first time in a considerable duration, having focused solely on the interplay between her brother and the triplets.

“May I accompany you?”

“Are you donating blood?”

“She enquired with curiosity.”

“Everyone is,” he affirmed, nodding. “That includes me, as well as my parents.” He grinned, adding, “Although they were not particularly pleased about it.” He shrugged as his hand glided down her arm and into hers. “I appreciate this suit on you; it looks…”

Excellent.

“You selected it.”

“I did,” he said, nodding. “I observed you wearing something akin to that the first time I saw you on television.” It conforms to all your contours.

Elevated an eyebrow at him.

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.
