Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 171

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 – Are you trying to bribe me?
Luna Fernanda recalled what happened the last time Alpha Denzel went into the woods. It might be the moon goddess again. “I hope you aren’t…” Alpha Denzel run into the woods before Luna Fernanda completed her statement.

Valerie was disturbed, sensing something wrong ever since he woke up. Alpha Denzel was not particularly all over her like he used to do. Something seemed to be ailing him the moment he woke up.

“Should I go after him?” Valerie was about to dash into the direction Alpha Denzel went but was stopped by Luna Fernanda. “I think we should talk.”

No matter the situation, Alpha Denzel was capable of taking care of himself. Valerie stared at Luna Fernanda with a slight frown of annoyance.

“Is there a problem Luna…”

“Just call me Aunty like Denzel does. Come let’s eat and talk,” Luna Fernanda went to sit on the chair by the dining table, beckoning Valerie to sit with her but the latter was reluctant, saying,

“Denzel has not eaten. I will wait for him.”

Luna Fernanda was touched. If she did not know any better, she would have said that Valerie was in love with Alpha Denzel but that also did not seem like the case.

“Do you care so much about him?” She asked curiously, Valerie was upset. Everyone kept asking her the same question whenever she showed care to Alpha Denzel. At first, it was Alessia and now, Luna Fernanda.

These were all women who equally cared about Alpha Denzel. “Don’t you care too?” She asked seriously, Luna Fernanda smiled, stood from the chair she sat on and ambled to where Valerie stood.

With her hand joined to that of Valerie, Luna Fernanda led her to the chair. “I do care about him but I will have peace of mind to know that you care more.”

Luna Fernanda knew that Alpha Denzel would never be with her for long. Aside from his visits, she couldn’t ask for more. However, there was no reason for her to constantly worry about Alpha Denzel anymore since Valerie was there.

The latter did not deny it. With a faint smile, she confessed to the middle-aged woman. “Denzel makes me happy.”

Luna Fernanda was happy to hear that from her lips but also feared if it was because she did not have a choice. Luna Fernanda would not be surprised if Alpha Denzel forced himself on Valerie.

“After all he did to you?” She asked, trying to get any hints of regret but all she saw in Valerie’s eyes were admiration and joy.

“His reasons were justified and that is also in the past. I look forward to a future with him and even if I don’t eventually fall head over heels in love with him, I think we can be happy together.”

Luna Fernanda’s heart warmed. Alpha Denzel deserved happiness too and she was glad that even without a made bond, the two have found ways of making it work together. No woman could understand and accept Alpha Denzel’s emotions than Valerie.

Perhaps because she was a Luna, having led a pack and having been taught by an Alpha father, Alpha Denzel’s temperament was not new but just a little over board.

“I know my nephew. Are you sure he didn’t force you to be with him?” Luna Fernanda emphasized, Valerie chuckled and admitted.

“It’s not as if I will be comfortable to see him with somebody else. There is just something odd. Something I can’t put words to.” She raked her mind but could not understand her feelings towards Alpha Denzel.

She feared the bond might return and he might not be the one for her. What if she was already madly in love with him by then? Rejection was painful but Alpha Denzel already made it clear that she would have to reject the person if it wasn’t him.

Perhaps, that was her reason for holding back but for how long could she continue? It was similar to torturing her soul.

It was clear that she always wanted him by her side but there were also subtle what-ifs.

“Whatever that is, I hope that you figure it out. Eat. Denzel will be fine. He would rather be upset to know that you have still not eaten,” Luna Fernanda encouraged her, no longer worried about Denzel and Valerie’s relationship.

In the woods, Alpha Denzel was screaming once again. “Selene come forth.”

He had so many questions and though knowing that the Moon goddess might not answer some, he did not have the intention of making it easy for her.

To his dismay, thirty minutes passed like the wind and yet, there was no sign of her so he leaned against a tree and continued to scream for her.

“Selene, you better come out. I have something important to tell you and I’m not leaving until you do.”

An hour passed again, his patience running out. “Selene, I know you can hear me. Can you please be good? Hey, do I have to buy you chocolates?” He asked in amusement, not knowing what gave him the idea that the moon goddess could be coaxed with chocolates.

To his utmost surprise, his trick worked as the familiar voice echoed through the woods before the figure appeared in front of him with her back turned against him.

“Alpha Denzel, are you trying to bribe me?”

Alpha Denzel smiled since he was not in a bad mood as before. Things had improved between him and Valerie greatly. “I wish I could but I’m glad that chocolate got your attention,” he said in amusement. Though the Moon goddess voice was stern, she did not rebuke him.

“Did you get over the headache? I’m busy and I could add another curse to the existing one if it hasn’t happened already.”

Alpha Denzel frowned slightly as he contemplated on her last words. ‘Happened already? Was she aware of the imposter?’ If that be the case, did not mean that the Moon goddess was behind it? He only wished that the moon goddess would give him direct answers this time.
