Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 178

Overzealous

“It will bring them joy,” she responded.

“Which films would you prefer to watch? I will procure any of your choices.”

I am indifferent.She dismissed it with a shrug.

You have consistently enjoyed action films. He grinned; she like the action sequences and had a penchant for absurdly humorous films that elicited laughter due to their silliness. May need to explore available options, get a couple of those, only to elicit her laughter.

I only observe their viewing preferences in the present day.

I can rectify it. He grinned, and he was able to. Within the pack, he had other individuals capable of caring for the triplets, allowing them to have a meal together, watch a film, or even venture outside the pack for an authentic date, complete with supper and dance in Rothchester. I believe our parents, and likely Bradley, would be amenable to supervising them, allowing us to have some quality time together.

Probable. That was her sole response.

She appeared to be attempting to maintain her distance from him, a challenge that would intensify with the increasing duration of their interactions. He needed to allocate time for her, as he had not anticipated its necessity; yet, circumstances had not aligned as he had expected. Thus, he was exerting effort to reconnect with her once again.

She informed Benzy that they no longer recognised her. He intended to become acquainted with her.

At one point, he found himself passionately kissing her, unable to recollect the circumstances, just that his desire for her was intense. His need to be with her was intense at this moment. He cupped her face with both hands while kissing her, perceiving her excitement in addition to his own. He slid his hand down her neck and momentarily over her mark site to cup her b****t and caress it; he was aroused and eager for her, his erection straining against his trousers.

She gasped as he gently tweaked her n****e, but then abruptly withdrew from him. His eyes abruptly opened to discover that she had placed an entire seat between them. “Bella?”He was unaware of the recent events; he recognised her desire for him and was cognisant that she would see his equal want for her.

The offspring. She terminated the mental connection with him.

He moved his gaze towards them and noticed all three were staring directly at him; he bit his lip slightly. “Apologies, children, I became somewhat overzealous.” That was an understatement. He had quite forgotten their presence, turned to Bella, smiled faintly, stretched out to her, only for her to avert her gaze and shake her head. She could perceive his arousal, which he could not conceal. Maddis was internally amused, as did Tyler, remarking, “I’ll behave.” He chuckled to himself, and he noted a few other laughs echoing around the auditorium.

He observed her head tilt to glance at the others in the auditorium, appearing rather ashamed, he thought. Leaning forward, he grasped her and pulled her back to the next chair, mentally communicating, ‘Hmm, our pack just witnessed quite a spectacle!’ He chuckled, “It’s quite embarrassing.”

“Why?” It is not as though they had encountered it previously.’

It simply exists! She mumbled.

We frequently engaged in intense romantic encounters.He gently reminded her, and they complied. It was widely known that he was having an affair with her at that time. It was well-known.

‘Not in a public setting!’ She murmured again.

He smiled to himself; there had been public displays of affection, yet she was correct.

All their intense encounters had occurred in private, since he was selfish and did not wish for anybody to witness her unclothed form. Her body had been exclusively for his gaze at that time. Bent down and kissed her temple. It was only for his eyes.

Bella

Bella sat and shook her head at Luke; when he sought her assistance, the triplets were descending from the effects of the excessive sugar he had permitted them to consume, and the impending sugar crash was imminent. She informed him that he would be responsible for them, and they were now agitated and becoming restless, unable to remain calm. She had anticipated its occurrence.

Luke found it endearing to observe their joy as they frolicked together in the suite for the previous hour following the movie’s conclusion. He observed them while seated on the sofa next her, still grasping her hand and smiled at their evident happiness. “A maximum of two hours, and they will become irritable and exhibit tantrums due to the excessive sugar you permitted them to consume.” Subsequently, they are entirely your responsibility. She had informed him.

This was the primary reason she restricted their sugar consumption. He failed to consider that they were Alpha-blooded triplets; he only perceived three five-year-olds. They would prove to be rather challenging when they simultaneously experienced a sugar crash. She witnessed the initial incident when Arana reprimanded Minka for colliding with her.

Directed my gaze to Luke, stating, “It’s all yours; I will now focus on draughting the prenuptial agreement.” He turned and regarded her with mild astonishment as she withdrew her hand from his and stood to depart.

She permitted him to hold her hand in various locations, appearing reluctant to release it. She observed his gaze go to his vacant hand and remarked, “Here is your sugar crash to contend with.” She laughed at him before proceeding to the suite’s office to attend to Dani’s prenup. She had acquired knowledge from difficult experiences with the triplets.

She remained in the office, observing the children get irritable and dispute among themselves, vociferously attributing blame, lamenting their hunger and need for snacks, expressing dissatisfaction with the food provided, and arguing that it was not a suitable snack, rejecting both fruit and sandwiches.

She smiled at hearing Arana lament her malaise and headache. Both Karis and Minka conveyed the same message to him. He attempted to converse with them, encouraging them to consume water. Upon hearing a glass shatter, he nearly smiled, recognising that Karis had thrown the glass of water, his alpha temperament fully evident in the living room. She might strike him, but doubted that Luke would, or that Karis would respond well, as the man was only unfamiliar to him. I witnessed him reprimand the youngster and was scolded by Karis, who asserted, “You cannot dictate my actions; only mother has that authority.”

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.
