Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 191

That is the reason

He observed Jodi exhibit a little grin. The guy may have genuinely believed he loved his daughter. He may have required to demonstrate his love for her, both to her family and to her, in order for them to accept him as her Mate.

I must inform Bella once Alpha Philip arrives; I would like to do it now, but there is not time. I will address it with her after the triplets retire for the night. It is preferable, in my opinion, to alleviate their concerns for their mother.

“How will you elucidate your knowledge of this?” Vera enquired of him.

“In the same manner as I did in this room, that book, and my parents’ observations, Franklin identified an anomaly in her blood and has verified it.”

“She may discern that.” Jodi said, “We shall allow you to contemplate it.”

“She may require your assistance.” He exhaled deeply.

“We will attend, but she is already aware internally. Luke expressed his belief that the news would not significantly surprise her or Tyler. He nodded and observed as everyone exited his office, then glanced at his watch, noting that there was less than an hour until Alpha Philip’s arrival, while mind-linking with Macky. “Where is everyone?” He was aware that he was with Bella and the children.

Bella and Margaret escorted the triplets to Deena at the school to elucidate the concept of a she-wolf’s heat. Preparing them for her impending oestrus, I presume.

I would like her to accompany me when Alpha Philip comes.

“May not succeed.” This is significant, supervisor. Her menstruation might begin at any moment, as you are aware.

It is, and I concur. He consented, acknowledging that he would have to manage her absence from the stairs beside him when the council member came, ‘Nora?’ he enquired.

Gregory collected her and her family; they would reside at Bella’s flat for several days.

I am relieved that she is well.

I ought to have been present. Macky murmured, clearly expressing discontent.

I get, but regarding Bella!

I comprehend it; nonetheless, I find it unappealing. My father is able to be present for her. Why must it be me?’

“Macky, you are her Gamma.” The bond between you and her is firmly formed. She has confidence in you, and you have a lifelong connection. Your allure has already influenced her, and it is effective.

That is the reason.

It may need years to rehabilitate her. It is unjust to me, or to Nora, for that matter; one cannot anticipate that I would abandon her for years.’ He severed the connection.

No, it was likely unjust, and he did not anticipate them to wait for years; he intended to persuade Nora to come here. The fire may have been a concealed blessing, of which Macky remains unaware. He sincerely hoped that Nora and her family were genuinely well.

Gazed at Benzy. “It appears that you and I will be welcoming Alpha.”

Philip alone.

“That will not be well-received or appear favorable.”

“No,” he concurred, “but I can elucidate the situation; Bella has the triplets and is with Deena, who is clarifying her oestrus to them.” She smiled slightly at that, preparing for the conversation, since she did not want them to panic over her absence. I did not intend to go prior to that. That was beneficial.

“Mother excels in that regard,” Lanky remarked with a smile. “It has just come to my attention.” He observed him, then shifted his gaze to Benzy and returned. Your companions are likely to enter oestrus simultaneously or in close proximity, with potential overlap. Both Mark and Mate were born within a day of each other.

“Mhm.”

“I am eagerly anticipating.” Benzy sneered directly at Lanky, “My companion is exceedingly attractive; I intend to.”

“Complete that sentence, Beta, and I will physically assault you,” Lanky interjected, interrupting him entirely.

Benzy only grinned; Luke discerned that he would derive considerable pleasure from teasing Lanky regarding Margaret for an extended period. It is probable that one will eventually receive that punishment as well.

“Who will assume responsibility?” While both of you are incapacitated? Lanky enquired.

“You and Macky…” prompted him to reflect, “Only you, in fact.” Assigning Macky to oversee matters will likely result in his departure to retrieve Nora, thus placing you, Lanky, in a position of authority.

Macky will disapprove of that. He holds a superior rank to mine.

“He must confront it,” Luke groaned.

Luke stood on the pack-house steps with Benzy, observing as Alpha Philip’s vehicle approached up the main road to the pack house. Vera and Jodi accompanied him in Bella’s absence. He observed the automobile arrive and Alpha Philip out from the front passenger seat, followed by an individual he presumed to be the man’s Beta, who was undoubtedly large enough to do that role. Maddis was unavailable to detect the guy, since his wolf remained in slumber.

“That is his Gamma boss,” Benzy communicated over a thought link, accompanied by a heavy sigh, “It appears he brought him to assess Bella.”

Indeed, he is rather formidable. Luke responded softly, and he was indeed larger than Benzy, who was not little.

He certainly does. Benzy responded.

According to his father, Alpha Philip was remarkably handsome for his age. He possessed a head adorned with meticulously kept black dreadlocks that cascaded halfway down his back. Luke observed that the beads seemed to be silver, although were likely composed of white gold or platinum, present in some of the dreadlocks.

His hairstyle complemented him; his large and intimidating stature was enhanced by it. He donned the royal blue of council colours, attired in a three-piece suit complemented by a light blue shirt and a black tie adorned with a tie pin that matched his beads. Wore highly polished black sneakers.

He believed he was impeccably attired as the man circled his vehicle and approached the rear driver’s side door, recognising that this individual was not only larger but also taller than himself. His penetrating dark grey eyes fixed on Luke as he went, then traversed the queue of others accompanying him. In search of Luna, Luke realised she was absent.

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.
