Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 152

Chapter 152: Chapter 152 – You sounded jealous
“Don Denzel, it’s me, Aurora,” an excited voice rang from the end of the line. Alpha Denzel was surprised but recalled giving her his number.

“Aurora, have you finished your training?” His voice was neither cold nor warm, but the one at the end of the line was still filled with unending excitement.

“Yes, Don. I just reported to the office, but you weren’t there.”

Alpha Denzel had no intention of returning to Las Vegas until he was done with important issues in the pack. Alessia could handle the rest. “I still have very important things to do. Godic will take you through the work until I return.”

Aurora sounded displeased. She wanted to know exactly when Don Denzel would return since Cordelia had informed her that Don Denzel kept the details of his travels private.

They were unrelated to the businesses, so he told no one about it, though she had a feeling that Godic was always aware. “But, Don, I have a gift for you. When are you coming back?”

Alpha Denzel did not like gifts. Those he received from business partners, he gave to Godic, and as for those from women with other intentions, Godic and his men were still the benefactors. “I don’t know. Give whatever you have to Godic. I will get it when I return.”

Aurora had no intention of doing so, as she wanted Alpha Denzel to personally receive the gift from her hand. “Don, can I please ask a question?”

Alpha Denzel was getting irritated. “Make it…” he was about to add ‘snappy’ when a familiar female voice cut in, echoing through the room and ringing through the mouthpiece of the phone to the recipient at the other side.

“Darling, you better come to bed now or you are not getting any.”

‘Is she falling in love with us? She called us darling.’ Brutus was already excited, intruding into Alpha Denzel’s mind. Alpha Denzel knew what would happen if Valerie was indeed in love with him.

‘I think she likes us, and I’m hoping that love would soon follow.’

Holding her gaze, his lips stretched into a thin smile. He replied to Aurora. “I have to go, Aurora. My wife needs me.”

Wife was a foreign term to werewolves, but to humans, it was the closest. The only difference was, humans were free to choose their partners, but werewolves were always paired together by the moon goddess.

Others might go against this arrangement, but it equally had its consequences. Unlike humans who would have a wedding or announce an engagement, it was different in Alpha Denzel’s world. Once both pairs agreed, they could mate and mark each other.

There was only a need for a coronation if one of the partners involved was an Alpha or a Luna. In that case, the coronation was needed to introduce them to pack members and other Alphas.

Knowing that Aurora would not understand, wife was the best word to describe his relationship with Valerie to anyone who was not their kind. When going to Las Vegas, he would be sure to wear a ring as proof.

He ended the call before Aurora could step out of the shock. In Cordelia’s office where she sat on the visitor’s chair, her face was as pale as a ghost.

From what she discerned, Don Denzel had not gotten over Lisa, so how could he be married? He said he was busy, so how could he call being with a woman busy?

“Were you able to get the time of his return?” Cordelia asked in a slightly mocking tone. Aurora had just completed her training and was already behaving as if she was Don Denzel’s most favored woman.

Aurora could not hide her dismay. “He hung up because his wife needs him.”

“He’s married?” The smile erased from Cordelia’s face when she heard the news. Seems Alpha Denzel has so many secret admirers.

“That’s what he said, and before then, I heard a woman’s voice, so he wasn’t making it up.” Aurora was greatly displeased by the revelation. Her opportunity died before she even planted it.

“That is strange. Don has never brought any woman to the office before. I seriously thought that he liked you. I think you should ask Godic,” Cordelia suggested, equally interested in this information. Godic seemed to know more than anyone else.

“Even if he knows, he won’t say. I tried before, but he was rude. It’s as if he’s under some kind of oath of secrecy. Why? Are you also in love with Don Denzel?”

In the Luna’s chamber, Alpha Denzel was getting excited when he ended the call and took the platter from Valerie, dropping it on the nightstand.

“You sounded jealous,” he pointed out, his voice coated with amusement. Valerie lowered her head slightly, her cheeks staining red.

“Jealous? I just did not want the food to get cold,” she lied. Alpha Denzel smirked, knowing she was lying. He also did not like that she was shy of him. Cupping her cheeks lovingly in the palms of his hand, he spoke softly, his eyes filled with affection.

“Val, you don’t have to hold back from speaking your mind. When I do something you don’t like, just say it. I said I won’t hide anything from you again, and I meant it.”

Valerie pursed her lips thoughtfully, comforted by his words. Their gazes met. “Who is she? And what do you mean by wife?”

A sudden realization hit Alpha Denzel. Before taking Valerie to Las Vegas, he needed to teach her a few things about humans for her to blend in.

“Aurora is human and not like us. She’s Lisa’s elder sister and has no idea about what our world involves. It’s a taboo for them to know about our wolves. There, what we call a mate is the same as wife or husband,” he explained slowly.

“There are a few things I will educate you on before we get there, so you don’t expose our world.” Valerie nodded her head in understanding, but her next question stunned him.
