Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 138

I am quite demanding

“Nora, you mean,” she corrected him, well aware that he desired her to refer to Nora.

He nodded in affirmation.

She gazed at him intently with narrowed eyes; she seemed rather formidable. He was fatigued; what assistance might a nanny provide in that regard? “Indeed, I am quite demanding.” Do you just desire Nora’s presence at Cupper Corporation?”

“I believe it would benefit everyone, not only you but also the children, by providing them with something familiar in these new surroundings.” He agreed.

“I will undertake the task,” Dani stated with a smile. “I am not engaged in any other activities.”

“Observe, the issue regarding the nanny has been resolved.” Bella grinned at him, aware that her concurrence with Dani’s supervision of the triplets would irritate him.

Observed him distinctly scowl at Dani before rising and departing.

“Macky,” she said telepathically. “Nora?”’

“Disregard it,” he murmured.

“What is the rationale for my doing so?” She is your companion. I adore Nora, and so do the triplets. I would be pleased to have her present. Dani is present to the same extent. I shall contact her today.

He ceased walking and remained stationary for around fifteen seconds before turning to gaze directly at her. He accurately conveyed to the individual at her table, “I would like the opportunity to date Nora; the boss has also approved it, so you are aware that bringing her here is acceptable.”

Bella acknowledged, “I will contact her; however, given the proximity to Christmas, I cannot assure her attendance, as she prioritises family.” She conveyed this truthfully, noting that the lady never worked over Christmas and always celebrated with her family.

“I would be grateful if you could propose to maintain her present position, but in this location rather than that one.”

“Very well.” She grinned at him. “Was that so difficult?””

“Yes,” he whispered, “I am never certain of what to expect from you.” He said before turning and departing.

She scowled at the comment while observing him depart; it was an unusual statement, which she dismissed. Directed her focus towards the youngsters, who were all consuming their hot chocolate, and observed that each had received more marshmallows. Observed as they incorporated them into the hot chocolate, allowing them to dissolve into a viscous, gooey amalgamation of pink and white on the surface, as she consistently did. Greeted them with a smile.

“I will endeavour to allocate additional time for you and Robyn, Dani.”

“His brother is requiring him to work 12 hours a day; how am I expected to spend time with him?” I am unaware of his actions. Or why he permits his sibling to define his actions and limitations.” She shook her head.

Bella said, “His brother manages the family enterprise, and everyone here is employed by him.” Incorporating Robyn. Thus, complying with his brother’s directives is not entirely accurate. He is complying with his boss’s directives.

“How can you assist with that?””

“An intriguing inquiry, particularly now that I have consented to enter into a relationship with Luke.” I serve as the constable. I suppose I have a voice in this matter.

“What?” What is the mechanism behind that? What is the status of your employment in Los Angeles?”

“It will be challenging, and I can assure you that Ben is displeased with me; however, I can work on your prenup without restriction while we are all snowed in.”

“Likely a prudent suggestion.” “Otherwise, Grandpa will instruct his formidable lawyers to initiate proceedings,” she remarked with a grimace.

“I will commence work on it this evening, subsequent to dinner and ensuring the children are settled in bed.” She glanced outside. “The snowfall has ceased for the time being; shall we take a walk after they complete their drinks?” I will provide a tour before the snowfall resumes, given that Robyn is unable to do so.

“That would be pleasant,” she remarked with a smile.

“Allow these little creatures of mine to observe what is present here as well.” She smiled down at them and noticed both females sticking their tongues out at her, while Karis only gazed at her; she extended her hand and gently stroked his hair. “I am aware that it is novel.” It will need some time to acclimatise.

He acquiesced. “He will not respond to my inquiry.”

Bella exhaled, aware of the correct choice. “Allow a few additional days; he is inexperienced in fatherhood.” Neither of you are accustomed to it; it requires adaptation for both parties.

Once more, that acknowledgement from him. Both she and Tyler were confident that the youngster would eventually become a lawyer, as he consistently sought answers to his enquiries. He firmly resisted until he had such answers. Possesses the potential to become an excellent prosecutor in the future. There was no necessity for such in the realm of wolves. However, he could secure a genuine employment position in the human realm if he desired. A law practice was affiliated with this bundle. It facilitated some human transactions.

I conversed with Dani about the local university, since she was inquisitive. Bella informed her about the two nearest to the pack, and she chuckled gently, “I can remain on campus; it doesn’t have to be in this exact location.”

“You assert that presently, Dani, but once you are wed…”

“I suppose I overlooked that.”

“You could pursue online studies, as you are currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Arts program, correct?”

“Yes,” she said, “but I prefer being on campus.” I appreciate the social dimension of it.

“I am aware,” once designated and paired within this pack, she would have enough opportunities for social interaction, “Has Robyn acquainted you with his social circle yet?” I am confident it was substantial.

“A few individuals.” I was rather intimidated, and he escorted me away. They resemble large individuals.

“Indeed, the majority here are dedicated to regular exercise; you will acclimatise to it.” It will not require much time. They would get amiable towards you promptly after your marriage to 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.
