Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 293

Complete disinterest

Maya smiled sweetly at Macky and batted her eyelids, leading him to believe she was attempting to flirt with him, despite his disapproval.

Lanky swiftly took her from Macky, resulting in Nora’s silence for an entire day thereafter.

Macky attempted to convince her of his complete disinterest in her younger sister. That he genuinely had exclusive affection for her. Nora seems to lack belief in him. It is evident that an undisclosed matter existed between the sisters.

She had observed Maya scrutinising Macky upon their initial arrival in L.A. Nora’s anxiety was evident, despite his own dismissal of the matter. Although she had no cause for concern, her demeanour regarding Macky changed; she became aloof and reticent in Maya’s presence. She may have believed he would prefer Maya to her.

Bella attempted to discuss the matter with her but was rebuffed.

It appeared to be a sensitive issue. An incident had undoubtedly occurred between the two sisters, presumably involving a man. Had not yet discussed it with her. Bella was uncertain whether Nora would discuss the matter with her and hoped she would.

I intended to attempt it today. She was aware that Halley’s nanny, Lidia, was absent this morning but would return to work this afternoon. Although Nora was occupied, Bella planned to discreetly accompany her to the office under the guise of a meeting to investigate the situation.

It was evident to her that Nora had changed since Maya’s ankle sprain; Macky perceived it as well. Shed claimed it was little, however the silence and her gaze towards her younger sister often conveyed profound meaning, not solely to Macky. He recognised her distress on the matter and was unable to employ the Gamma Charm to elicit a conversation with her. It would likely only irritate her. Thus, he had made no effort whatsoever. I was deliberately avoiding being in Maya’s presence at all times. Although Bella perceived that Nora was also aware of this, it did not ameliorate the situation.

The three women frequently convened outside of her standard working hours, which resulted in Maya’s regular presence around Macky. It seemed to be exerting pressure on them. Macky had only dated Nora in L.A. and had no interaction with her family; yet, Maya’s constant presence made this distinction evident to everyone.

Entered her office with Nora shortly thereafter and requested her to have a seat. She complied. “Nora, are you concerned about Macky being attracted to your sister?” She enquired directly of her. While it was not her role as an employer, it was her role as the woman’s future Luna.

Observed Nora regarding her with a puzzled expression. I have observed that you and Macky have been increasingly silent, despite your assertion to him that it was inconsequential. He is apprehensive that you believe he favours your sister over you.

“This would not be the inaugural instance.” Nora exhaled after a little pause, seemingly contemplating whether to discuss the matter.

Macky will not subject you to it, Nora. I have known him for my entire life. The dude is monogamous.

“I am not his partner,” she declared bluntly.

“Indeed, you are.” Bella laughed. “I have never witnessed him gaze at anyone as he gazes at you.” He may be proceeding cautiously, Nora, but that is due to the novelty of the situation. He will neither rush you nor himself and will desire that you become acquainted with him thoroughly.

Nora gazed at her for an extended period, remaining largely silent.

Bella exhaled deeply and settled beside her, “What is it, Nora?”

I am your buddy, not only your boss. Allow me entry.

I may be able to assist in some capacity.

“She is educated and I am not; she is obtaining her university degree while I am merely a nanny.” Why would he desire me when she is younger, more attractive, pursuing an education, and evidently more intelligent?

Bella gazed directly at her, somewhat taken aback by her assertion.

“Has Maya ever appropriated a boyfriend from you previously?”

“Indeed, more than one.” She nodded, “Is intent on targeting Macky; I can perceive it,” she muttered quietly.

Macky lacks interest in Maya, Nora. He is unwaveringly faithful.

“You assert that,” she exhaled. “However, that is inconsequential.” All claim to be loyal and trustworthy. Ultimately, she acquires them… I do not mean to imply otherwise; I cherish my sister, however at times I wish she would refrain from observing anyone in whom I have an interest.

Bella scowled, “Your most recent boyfriend?”“

“Indeed, she was the individual with whom I discovered him.” I anticipated that Macky would behave differently; however, they are now deliberately evading one another. That is the initial observation I consistently make before to encountering Maya with one of them or one of my friends with one of them. I am not particularly intelligent, Bella. I scarcely completed high school with a satisfactory grade. Maya, conversely, is both gorgeous and exceptionally intelligent, possessing the ability to attract anybody she desires.

Status: Completed Type: Author: Artist: , , Released: 2024 Native Language: English
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.
