Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 194

An eyebrow

“Greetings, Alpha Philip.” She inclined her head slightly in deference to him and his rank. “I appreciate your invitation for the children and me to join your pack.” I sincerely valued it.

“Certainly, I would propose an extension.” Clara expressed concern for you, and upon observing your condition, he shook his head. We will address that, followed by the confrontation between you and Luke. I felt really apprehensive. Kindly have a seat and engage in conversation with me.

“I will respond to your enquiries, but I will not address that in the presence of my children.”

“That is reasonable; I would assert that they are likely sufficiently traumatized.” We may converse privately at a later time.

Luke observed them without interjecting. The guy was likely to dismiss him, invoke the Wolfen Council authority, and instruct him to withdraw. Even inside his own pack, he would have to comply with directives, to some extent.

He waited for her to take a seat before sitting down himself. He was quite astonished when she approached and seated herself next him. He was uncertain if she would proceed. Voluntarily participating would demonstrate to Alpha Philip her readiness to sit next him and exhibit herself as his Mate and Luna. He deliberately refrained from putting out a chair for her, as he did not like for her or Alpha Philip to perceive that she was obliged to sit by him; doing so would suggest that she was meant to occupy that position.

Their coffees were served, and the youngsters received their hot chocolates. “Is it appropriate for them to consume sugar, Bella?” He inquired. Wished to avoid a repetition of yesterday.

“They are satisfactory.” She chuckled softly, capturing everyone’s attention.

“I apologize.” She grinned.

“Do you believe that sugar is beneficial for them?”Alpha Philip enquired of him.

“You were not a witness to the events that transpired yesterday afternoon,” he stated.

Murmured.

Philip raised an eyebrow and said, “Explain.”

“I will allow Bella to recount the story; I believe she found it exceedingly entertaining.” All attention was directed towards her, and she continued to smile, evidently still amused. “I cautioned him against permitting them unrestricted access to the candy.” “He disregarded my words,” she remarked with a shrug. “Thus, I abandoned him to manage the situation with three vomiting children.” It was rather entertaining; I do not believe I had ever witnessed an Alpha being vomited upon before.

He perceived Philip snicker in amusement and noted that the entire Alpha Unit erupted in laughter at her remarks. He had not disclosed such information to them or to anybody else. They were all aware now. “I solicited assistance, yet she was unwilling to provide it.” He shook his head. She was imparting a parenting lesson, however he would have preferred assistance prior to the onset of vomiting.

“It was your fault.” She grinned directly at him, clearly entertained by the situation, as he could discern. It illuminated her whole visage, causing his heart rate to quadruple at witnessing her gaze directed at him in that manner. She seldom regarded him in such manner. Maddis immediately sensed her awakening due to his abrupt elevation in heart rate, gazed directly at her, and purred with great intensity at her evident happiness.

Luke cleared his throat. Cease the action. “Alpha Philip has arrived,” he informed Maddis.

“I am indifferent; observe her.” Even Maddis could discern the joy on her countenance. Probable to experience it in some manner. He appreciated it personally.

“Indeed,” Luke said with a gesture towards her. “I was compelled to clean it up independently.

It would not assist with that either.

Observed her shake her head in negation.

Clara remarked, “Good, he must learn.” Caring for the children is now the responsibility of both of you. Not solely the woman’s.

He glared at her, fully cognisant of the situation; he was only attempting to familiarise himself with them. “I anticipate that there are numerous concepts I must acquire.” I am confident that my Luna will provide me with intensive instruction on these.

Observed Bella sipping her coffee with a complete smirk, certain that this was precisely her intention. That single glance said everything.

However, he smiled at her and at the children. The girls experienced no difficulties with him, and since yesterday, even Karis has been smiling in his company and conversing with him. Whatever she communicated to him seems to have alleviated some or all of his fears.

Allowing her to converse with Karis in his absence was obviously the correct decision. Karis want it as well. Karis placed his confidence in his mother and was unfamiliar with his father, a guy who had always been absent. Suddenly, he desired to become a father.

He appreciated her amusement in the presence of Alpha Philip and his Gamma; their interactions before him had been positive thus far. He believed it was progressing favourably. He observed the youngsters mimicking Bella’s actions with her hot chocolate, allowing their marshmallows to dissolve, and smiled at them; it was rather endearing. He considered them to be charming.

“We will have more shortly,” Maddis informed him, looking pleased. “Many, an entire litter.”

Does Tyler concur?

“It will occur naturally; I successfully mated with her,” he said, as his wolf chuckled quietly.

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.
