Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 318

Tonight

She would refrain from intervening, instead to await the conclusion, and was not as apprehensive as Margaret. A few further packs, Alpha and Luna’s, arrived late yesterday before the storm. Alpha Philip had also invited several of his rated members along with her grandma.

Numerous opportunities for wolves to form pairs existed tonight; but, both she and Luke had articulated their preference for any pairing, marking, and mating to occur privately in one of their rooms, given the presence of almost a dozen humans inside the pack. All parties concurred.

After around ten minutes, she contacted Luke directly. She was unable to tolerate the uncertainty, believing he would have already mind-linked her with the information. “How is it progressing?”

“Good, it may be somewhat surprising for you to arrive.”

‘What?’

Clara has partnered with one of our members and will be relocating here. Philip laughed and commended him. Informed him that she was as demanding as you are.

“Who?” She gasped, utterly astonished by this revelation. Is mother aware yet?That would be a significant shock for her mother. Her father had died long ago, during a rogue attack on their pack when her mother was approximately ten years old, and her grandma had remained with the pack since then, training and maintaining a high warrior status. I had not been seeking a new partner.

“I am uncertain, but he was not afforded an opportunity to express his opinion.” She gazed directly at him, smirked, and declared, ‘I hope you can manage me, boy!’

Bit him eagerly, as far as I can discern. He seems thoroughly amused to her.

“Who is present?” She enquired once more. Does he recognise her identity?

“Gregory, the warrior who gathered Nora and her family.”

I am uncertain, to be candid. Although she had been positioned with Alpha Philip at that moment.

She grinned inside, as her entire family was now present. Gregory was specifically selected by Macky to oversee her, but thereafter was tasked with the responsibility of guarding his own Mate. A formidable warrior, esteemed by the pack Gamma. He appeared tall, dark, and brooding, based on her observations. Her grandmother would appreciate that she was well-muscled. He had also not been mated previously, or at least not to her knowledge, as she had not observed any mating marks on him.

I hope my mother is OK to that. What is his age?’

“I believe it is thirty-five.” Significantly younger than her.

Indeed, she is 80 years old. Acquired a younger romantic partner. Bella emitted a gentle chuckle. She heard Luke laugh at her choice of words, “I’m really happy for her,” and so she was; it took her a considerable amount of time to discover a second chance mate. Gregory had not been present during her grandmother’s last involvement with the pack, since he had remained in L.A.; had she not arrived today, she might never have discovered his significance to her.

She was now even more pleased that they had postponed the Luna Ceremony, as it appeared to be a prudent decision overall. ‘Tall and slender? She ultimately posed the inquiry she was eager to ascertain.

“Strayed: He remarked, Who can ascertain the location?” In unequivocal terms, I informed my superior, ‘I shall return.’ I cautioned him that he should ensure this occurs.

“Moderate your tone, Luke.”

“I was not severe; he must attend your Luna Ceremony.” I was merely reminding him. I expressed it with a smile.

“Which of you is following him?”

Heard Luke chuckle, Benzy, who else, considering he is mated to the man’s sister. He possesses several orders, I presume. You will probably be aware before I am.

“I will inform you once I have the information,” she remarked with a chuckle before severing the mental connection. Observing Margaret, who was nervously biting her lip, she contemplated disclosing information about her grandmother to her and Dani; however, Nora’s presence in the room posed a challenge, as she would not comprehend the source of her knowledge, prompting her to defer the revelation.

Nearly ten minutes elapsed before she glanced at Bella and nodded. Shortly thereafter, she heard her phone ring and observed Margaret answer it, smiling immediately, indicating that she and Benzy had prearranged this scenario with Nora present. “What truly, oh that is so endearing, I presumed he had affection for her.” “May I inform everyone?” She ended the call and observed Margaret surveying the room, glancing at each individual.

“Nora,”

“Yes, Margaret?”

“I trust you won’t object, but my brother has recently asked your sister out.”

“Oh.” was the succinct reply.

“I suppose dining with him is acceptable, although he may need to gain approval from my mother first.”

“It is not dinner; he requested her to be his girlfriend,” Margaret informed her.

Status: Completed Type: Author: Artist: , , Released: 2024 Native Language: English
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.
