Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 163 – I Want You to Love Me
There was one weapon capable of conquering all spirits. He already had it. Valerie might not have it yet, but he was certain that his love was strong enough to pull them through every challenge that would come their way.

Then again, he knew that constantly, Valerie would compare him with her first mate and thought to assure her.

“Val, I am not Tristan, so please don’t ever think so low of me. It must be the seducing spirit. Ignore her. I will find a way to reach the moon goddess and report her,” he assured Valerie, but she stared at him, curious and confused.

“The moon goddess? Isn’t that forbidden? Isn’t it said that whoever dares to see her would either carry a curse or blessing? Those who experimented with it centuries ago only ended up with her curse,” Valerie remembered vividly.

Alpha Denzel smiled. Only if she knew the length he was willing to go for her. “I know the price, but I will take my chance.” He did not want to reveal to her that he was already carrying a curse, but that headache was nothing he could not endure. It was all for the better.

That spirit was not Selene, and Alpha Denzel was determined to get to the bottom of it. Valerie was equally a deep thinker. Even as they walked hand in hand, she could not get over Alpha Denzel’s words.

If he knew so much about negotiations with the moon goddess, then there was something he was not telling her, and she could not keep mute about it. “Is that why you promised me my wolf back?”

“Yes,” Alpha Denzel responded seriously. It was too difficult to deal with a smart woman. There were things she easily figured out without stress.

Valerie discerned that he wanted to go through extreme measures to get her wolf back, and as romantic as it sounded, she could not allow it. “You don’t have to worry. I’m still happy.”

Alpha Denzel stopped. They were in the middle of the pack with people going about their businesses. Warriors were equally preparing for patrol.

Taking both her hands into his, he did not care that people were watching, saying to her, “But I want you to love me.”

Valerie knew the root of the problem. Accepting that she was human meant she could never love. Her wolf was connected to her heart, just like every other werewolf. As such, her heart died with her wolf. “I’m sorry.” She felt guilty for not being able to return the love he felt for her.

Alpha Denzel forced a smile. It was not easy to win against the moon goddess. Her telling him to win her heart was without the information that there was none. But the fact that Valerie had brains and feelings was enough for him.

Love was a connection between the brain and heart. When she gets to the point where she begins to accept that she would not be able to live without him, that would be a miraculous solution to the problem as well.

“It’s fine. I won’t mention it again. Let’s go to the council,” he said sincerely. Valerie smiled and hugged him. It warmed Alpha Denzel’s heart that she took the initiative. That was the definition of hope.

Valerie changed her stilettos while Alpha Denzel showered. The ride to the peace council was in comfortable silence, and Valerie slept half of the journey. Reaching the council, everyone at the office froze at the sight of Alpha Denzel and Luna Valerie.

It was as if they carried death with them. The investigator who went to the Evergreen pack the last time did not believe that Alpha Denzel would honor the invitation. Since Alpha Denzel’s last message was not delivered to the Alpha King, he began to sweat.

“Alpha Denzel, Luna Valerie. It’s late. The Alpha King has retired to bed,” the investigator said, and the others stared at him with confusion. The council worked twenty-four hours a day, running shifts as a result of attacks happening in the night.

Most Alphas were busy during the day, so the most convenient time for them to visit the council was usually in the evenings.

“Wake him. I came because of his letter, and I don’t have all day.” Alpha Denzel’s voice dominated the atmosphere, causing their hairs to stand straight. Everyone there was surprised to see him.

“Alpha…” The investigator was about to say, but Alpha Denzel’s expression was dark. His Alpha tone vibrated through the corner of the large office.

“Now.”

His lips closed tightly before he opened them, saying, “Please come with me. Luna Valerie can wait here.”

There was a waiting room, so if he could keep Alpha Denzel there, he would buy enough time to get the Alpha King out of the office, but Alpha Denzel was already smelling something fishy.

“No. As the Luna of the Evergreen pack, she deserves firsthand information.” The investigator was even more surprised to hear that Luna Valerie was now the Luna of the Evergreen pack.

“But we have not heard about any coronation,” he pointed out.

“That is because it has not happened yet, but does not restrict her from assuming her duties as my Luna.” Alpha Denzel’s response was solemn. The investigator glanced at both their necks as he tried to buy as much time as possible.

“You have not even marked each other.”

Irritation flooded Alpha Denzel’s voice as he asked seriously, “Does it concern you? What is your job anyway?”

The investigator was uneasy, his forehead beaded with sweat. “You have to wait for a while as I have to go wake the Alpha King from sleep.”

Valerie noticed that the other colleagues were both afraid and surprised by what was going on. It seemed that this investigator was hiding something. Alpha Denzel was pissed, and during times like this, he was not afraid to use his fist.

“Stark,” a dominating voice called from inside, which Alpha Denzel knew to be the voice of the Alpha King. The balled hand that was about to teach the investigator a lesson suddenly loosened.

The investigator paled as Alpha Denzel glared at him and dashed into the Alpha King’s office, dragging Valerie along with him. Reaching there, he was met with the most shocking news.
