Against the Alpha’s Claim – Chapter 320

Challenge him

Pearl comprehended by innate understanding that she was not visible nor audible to Nina and Matt. Remained within Dani and appeared to be very composed for the majority of the time, exhibiting a somewhat relaxed demeanour for a wolf. Did not occupy herself with the quotidian activities of Dani.

Bella permitted the girls to style her hair and apply her make-up.

Dani shook her head at the jewellery being adorned on her, “He invested significantly in your gifts and bespoke creations; I have never encountered anything akin to this.” I am inclined to wager that he also created them himself. “I love you, Bella; I never thought I would believe it, you know.”

Bella responded, “I understand; it took me some time too.”

“It is advisable to refrain from submitting unconditionally to him.”

“I will consistently challenge him on matters I disapprove of.” She grinned and observed Dani nodding.

“We will convene with you downstairs; your father will arrive shortly to accompany you.” She observed them depart the Luna Suite, left alone with her reflections for the first time that day. “Tyler?”

“I am content, you are content.”

You are on the verge of becoming a Luna wolf.

I have been a Luna wolf since the day he bonded with me. I am agreeable to that.

“Certainly, you are.” Bella laughed and immediately forgiven her companion.

Indeed, he was bestowed upon me by the goddess herself. What would prevent me from doing so? You were the obstinate one, although I understand the reason. They belong to us, both the positive and the negative; the past is not entirely favourable, forgiven yet not overlooked. I shall bite him if you choose, directly on his attractive visage: She chuckled, ‘or his posterior.’

Bella dismissed herself, confident that Tyler would act similarly if provoked sufficiently.

Bella

She stood in the Luna Suite, adorned in her bridal gown. The gown had a lengthy, flowing design reminiscent of a Greek goddess, rendered in a delicate white hue.

She desired to express her gratitude to the Goddess in a modest manner and consistently imagined her in a similar guise, befitting her divine status. Excessive television consumption throughout the years and societal perceptions of Goddess attire.

She adored the shimmering, lustrous rope that appeared silver but was not, which encircled her waist, traversed beneath her breasts, crossed at the centre of her chest, and extended along the edges of her dress, ultimately forming the straps that crisscrossed her back to secure the garment at her waist. Her back was completely revealed.

Additionally, I appreciated the shimmering ropes that hung from each shoulder, consisting of five loops, each progressively larger than the preceding one, cascading down her upper arms.

The lower portion of the garment cascaded in soft, flowing layers; it was unadorned yet she adored it from the moment she tried it on. The dress was mostly suited for a summer wedding, but she had acquired a long white cloak with a hood featuring a soft, fluffy trim, which was rather charming and she had anticipated wearing it. She no longer needed to attend the ceremony as it was held indoors because of the snow.

Her lengthy dark hair was styled in cascading curls framing her face; she received a Luna’s gift from Luke this morning, having been permitted to visit him just for the purpose of receiving it in person. Nina gazed at him intently before asserting, “the groom is not meant to see the bride on the wedding day.”

He stated, “I possess a gift for her to wear today, and I wish to present it to her personally.” I commissioned it specifically for her.

She had been in the Luna Suite, engaging with the discourse with a smile.

He had to demonstrate it to Nina before she permitted him entry. Her outfit was in the bedroom, hence it posed no issue; he would not observe it.

He presented her with his gifts in front of everyone and appeared largely unconcerned. She had been clad solely in a white silk dressing gown, and his gaze had completely bypassed her. He established a thought contact with her, stating, “Fortunate that you are not solitary in this space.” She merely grinned in response.

He expressed his gratitude to her publicly for granting him another opportunity. He expressed his love for her and assured her that he would never love anyone else, in gratitude for her acceptance and willingness to take him back. Prior to presenting her with the three velvet boxes he was holding.

She desired to kiss him but was interrupted by Nina and Dani, who advised her to wait until marriage, eliciting laughter from everyone in the room, including Luke. Shed opened them sequentially, beginning with the largest, as he had presented them to her.

It contained a circular pendant adorned with diamonds and sapphires.

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.
