Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 190

Who is she?

I am proceeding to Bella; she will be able to make the call. The connection was severed. All eyes were fixed upon him.

Macky will not return; his human companion’s residence is ablaze.

“What?” It was his mother. “What is the reason for her absence?”

“He will not come; Bella was unable to persuade him, and I require his presence, thus he cannot retrieve her himself.”

“Who is she?”

“The triplets’ nanny,” Benzy and Lanky simultaneously declared, both smiling.

“Oh,”

“He is going to Bella, presumably to hear Nora’s voice, which he will require for solace,” she sighed quietly. “Vera, did you contact your mother?””

“I did,” she said with a nod.

“Your mother is accompanying her Alpha.”

Is Alpha Philip approaching? “She enquired in return.”

“Affirmative, and not in the capacity of an Alpha.” In the capacity of a council member representative. He enquired about Bella and the children’s welfare during his call yesterday.

“I did not request that.” She shook her head.

He only nodded; it seemed probable that following their altercation and Philip’s proposal of refuge, he was here to ensure her safety and well-being. He independently made the choice, as any council member is permitted to do. Ultimately, he received the answer to his inquiry. Although Macky had informed him that his enquiries regarding Bella were inappropriate, he now believed it had caused her to think he suspected she had reported them to him. Despite her lack of willingness, he had exerted considerable pressure on her over the matter. It appears he has once again erred in his dealings with her.

He needed to contemplate before conversing with her. Consider the potential responses he may get from her before posing any enquiries that could be perceived as accusatory. Perpetually on the defensive in his presence.

“He is approaching, and Bella has not yet concluded her human affairs or dismissed those allegations against me.” That may not be well received by him. It is evident that she does not wish to be present.

“Indeed, she does.” Vera grinned at him.

“Tyler does.” He groaned, acknowledging that he would not conceal the reality that Bella remained ambivalent towards him.

“She would not assert her desire for you if she did not wish to, Luke,” Vera informed him.

She is probably perplexed. Simply allow my girlfriend further time.

He acquiesced. “She is free to take as much time as she desires.” His gaze shifted to Brad; he would not dismiss the possibility of her brother attempting to dissuade her from their Mate Bond should she express her uncertainties to him directly.

“I will not intervene.” “I am displeased with it,” Bradley asserted bluntly.

“In my opinion, you do not deserve her.” The guy groaned. “However, I recognise that she has always loved you… I concur with my mother; she is probably quite confused.” However, if my sister ultimately decides to reject you. I shall position myself next her, grasp her hand for reassurance, and depart with her to ensure she is not solitary.” He then turned and exited the office.

Luke exhaled deeply; he could not hold the man accountable and sensed that they would all depart this time. He was aware of their destination; the Winter Moon Pack, the home pack of a council member. Be under the guardianship of Alpha Philip, Vera’s previous Alpha. He was aware that she would take the children with her and would likely be unable to prevent her from doing so. He would disapprove, yet he could not distinguish her from them.

Once more, this occurrence is unwelcome.

“Son, we might consider postponing the Luna Ceremony until we have a clearer understanding of Bella’s current condition,” his father groaned.

“What is it?” Allow her to believe that I oppose her having a ceremony and presenting herself. “That will not occur.” He shook his head, well aware that this was precisely how she would interpret it.

“Well,” Vera said.

“It may not be a poor idea.” When I conversed with her or attempted to discuss her ceremony. It seems that she saw this ceremony as being focused exclusively on you, rather than on herself. She instructed me to enquire with you on your desires, since she was uninformed about the matter. She mentioned that you had previously purchased an outfit for her to wear.

“I have,” he said. “It is exquisite; she will appear magnificent in it,” he remarked with a smile.

He felt the impact from his mother before he even comprehended her movement; she had utilised her wolf speed to reach him and strike him. “You foolish child, the Luna selects her own dress.” It is hardly surprising that she believes it revolves around you.

“Sufficiently maternal.” He was becoming increasingly exasperated with her tendency to strike him whenever she saw it appropriate. Fortunately for her, Maddis was asleep. “I intended to demonstrate to Bella my desire for her to be my Luna, so I purchased that dress to signify my intentions, ensuring that upon her arrival, she would recognise that I had already envisioned her as my Luna.”

She gazed up at him and then scowled, “Perhaps we should postpone it.” I will converse with her; there is much to accomplish, and Vera and I are indeed grappling with the planning.

“Indeed,” Vera said. “It is unhelpful that she refuses to communicate her desires, merely dismissing them as inconsequential.”

“Son, you should discuss her heightened state of arousal, after which we will convene to deliberate on the Luna Ceremony; she may not be prepared for it and might prefer to postpone it to a more suitable time for her mental well-being.”

“Tradition is the subsequent full moon, mother,” Luke asserted. “This is the customary practice of our pack.” He was reluctant to delay, fearing she may perceive it as a lack of desire for her presence. Postponing her ceremony was likely to achieve that outcome.

Your Mate Bond with Bella is unconventional, hence it may be permissible to postpone it by one month.

Luke harboured a strong aversion to it, instinctively aware that it would compel her to erect her defences and perceive him negatively. “Should she exhibit any displeasure or choose to exclude me from that conversation, I will override your decision, asserting my authority over you, mother, during the forthcoming full moon at the end of this week.”

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.
