Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 15

Chapter 15 – Alpha Denzel can’t be fooled.
Adira’s eyes turned red. The packhouse belonged to dignified people, not slaves. Having been rejected twice, Valerie was not fit to be in the packhouse. This was overwhelming, and she couldn’t keep it in.

“Alpha, people will talk. It’s not right for her to be at the packhouse,” Adira said, sounding as if she cared for the pack. But Alpha Denzel saw through the selfishness coating her words.

Before he could respond, a mindlink zapped through his mind. For as long as he was there, any information from the gate would be passed directly to him.

‘Alpha, there are two investigators from the peace council. They were sent by the Alpha King to investigate an attack on the Yellowstone pack.’

Alpha Denzel smiled internally, knowing they won’t find anything or get any information. The peace council was there to maintain the peace between packs. Knowing the violent nature of werewolves, wars were understandable, but the reasons had to be explained to the peace council with relevant facts to prove that a war was necessary before going ahead with it.

Since the peace council was not aware of the attack against the Yellowstone pack and the assailants were not apprehended, it was left to them to conduct the necessary investigation after receiving the report from the Beta of the pack.

‘Why didn’t anyone inform me about it?’ Alpha Denzel asked, making it seem as if he was never aware of the incident. At this moment and for as long as Alpha Tristan and Luna Scarlet were still alive, his job was not done.

It was just a matter of time before he finished them off completely. Thanks to Valerie, the Yellowstone pack had strong warriors who would make the thirty minutes impossible for Alpha Denzel to complete his mission.

The next option was to declare an open war and use his pack warriors, but he was equally not ready for that yet.

‘Alpha, I informed Beta Adira,’ the warrior at the gate reported, confirming Alpha Denzel’s suspicion that Adira was the one who informed Valerie about the attack.

Now he wondered if that was the reason why Valerie refused to expose her abuser. What more could be going on between the two women? Alpha Denzel lacked the right answers at the moment.

However, he already had a solution at hand. ‘We don’t have to keep them waiting then. They can begin their investigations from wherever they please.’

‘Yes, Alpha.’

As soon as the mind link ended, Alpha Denzel’s attention shifted back to Adira as he questioned seriously, “So where do you suggest?” Internally, he was congratulating himself for controlling his anger so far.

“I think the shack is the best place. Or…” she paused, taking in Alpha Denzel’s facial expression. His brows raised questioningly as Adira completed her sentence, “the dungeon.”

Alpha Denzel was greatly disappointed but didn’t let it show. Using the opportunity, he asked her, “Do you know about the attack on the Yellowstone pack?” His expression was unreadable.

Adira was already sweating, partly guessing that Alpha Denzel’s reason for moving Valerie to the pack house was because she was innocent.

Her heart clenched tightly as she wondered if he was going to apologize for rejecting her. How could she watch them together with Valerie being the Luna of the Evergreen Pack? Adira shook her head in displeasure, thinking about a reasonable excuse to give.

“It was one of the things I planned to tell you, but we haven’t had time to sit and talk.”

Great excuse, but Alpha Denzel was fast losing trust in her. Recalling her good deeds, he tested her once again. “What else do you have to tell me?”

“It will be better if we don’t discuss pack matters around outsiders,” Adira glanced in Valerie’s direction and spoke. Alpha Denzel pursed his lips, wondering what had happened to the woman he grew up with.

They were quite close because they used to train together. Adira would always stand up for him at all times and she carried matters of the pack like personal matters.

Thinking that they had no feelings for each other, she was the first person to come to mind when he needed a beta with the hope that she would soon find her mate.

Over time, he heard some disturbing things about her but threw them all under the carpet when she didn’t mention them to him. Now, he was wondering if that was the right thing to do.

Partly, he blamed himself for being away from the pack for so long. Maybe if he had given her a lot of time, he would have noticed that the woman before him had changed so much.

“You want her to be in the shack or dungeon. Is it that you want to make it easy for whoever caused the attack to also rescue her? Among all the places in the pack, where is more secured?”

Alpha Denzel was cunning enough to not associate himself with the attack and also not to make either Valerie or Adira read meanings into his decision, but who knew that in all this, he was just testing Adira?

“The pack house,” Adira agreed, feeling a piercing pain in her chest. It was true that the packhouse was the most secured place because anyone could walk into the dungeon to torture whoever was there.

It also meant that, a rescuer could pretend to be an enemy to go in there to rescue Valerie. She swallowed bitterly when she understood Alpha Denzel’s words. It pained her that Ashley, whom she suspected to be the one to launch the attack in her honor, might not be able to rescue her in the packhouse.

The packhouse had more warriors because that was where the pack’s treasures were also stored. Alpha Denzel had his plans, but before then, there were things he had to do to return the pack to what he wanted it to be.

Adira sensed that Alpha Denzel was upset and quickly apologized. “Alpha, please forgive me for suggesting wrongly. It’s all for the benefit of the pack.”

If it were any other woman, she wouldn’t mind, but Valerie made her blood change color. Alpha Denzel seemed calm. No one knew what was going through his mind, and neither had he said or made any move against Adira.
