Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Chapter 246 – Giving her a choice.
Alice was bewildered. All her life, she had people dictate to her. Her parents used to do that, and then Alpha Kendrick, ever since he found out about her powers.

Then Alpha Ludwig took over as well. This was the first time she was being asked for her opinion, making it super heartwarming.

Here, she was given a right she never knew existed for someone like her. “You will do as I say?” She asked, as if in a dreamland.

Valerie smiled in amusement at how cute she looked when looking lost, but Burke was hoping that she would say no.

Alpha Denzel’s eyes squinted slightly, but warmth remained in his voice as he began to slowly explain it to her.

How could he, who loved children so much, be feared by them?

“This is about you, so no one has the right to decide for you. So, do you want to go?”

He repeated the question, making her hang on to his every word, forgetting that the phone was on speaker.

This was also a sign to her that Alpha Denzel was not as scary as she thought him to be.

“No. I want to stay with Luna Valerie,” Alice finally said, the corner of Alpha Denzel’s lips curled up a little as he relayed the information.

“She said no, Alpha Ludwig.”

“Alpha Denzel, please. Can I talk to her?” Alpha Ludwig asked, convinced that he would be able to change Alice’s mind.

This concerned his pack, so Ludwig was willing to do anything possible to have her back, as it would make his work very easy.

For over two years now, the warriors, including the Alpha, never went on patrol, enjoying the night by the side of their mates and Lunas, except the unmated ones.

Starting patrol last night after a long time was like writing a letter with a barbell instead of a pen. It felt so heavy and odd.

Burke was afraid that Alice would return. Ever since knowing about the bond, he would not be comfortable being away from her.

However, with Alpha Denzel giving Alice the chance to decide on her own, he did not have much hope and yet could not utter a word in this matter.

“Alice, do you want to talk to him?” Alpha Denzel asked again, everyone was lost, not knowing the answer she would give this time.

The way Alpha Denzel carved the question put Alice on the edge, though he was giving her the right to refuse if she did not want to speak with her former Alpha.

After a little thought and realizing that Ludwig was never mean to her, she agreed. “Sure.”

“Alpha Ludwig,” she said into the phone, which was on speaker.

At the other side of the line, a relief sigh escaped Alpha Ludwig, as he feared that Alpha Denzel would not agree to his request.

Hearing Alice’s voice calmed his soul, as he knew that Alice was rather soft and would not refuse his request.

However, he could not brush away the fact that she might refuse because of what those three girls put her through and began with an apology.

“Alice, I’m very sorry for what happened with the girls. I got so busy and couldn’t come to check on you. I already had them punished like Alpha Denzel said. They have been slapped and stabbed, ending up at the hospital.”

Alice felt strange to hear Alpha Ludwig talking to her like this. Then again, the three girls had be punished. Alpha Denzel had been the one to insist on it.

Though Alpha Ludwig was never rude to her before, it was difficult to understand how an Alpha would be apologizing to her when he was not the one who offended her.

Too much was denied her that she had no idea that protection from the Black Fur pack was her right. “It’s alright. I’m fine now. No need to apologize.”

Her soft voice gave Alpha Ludwig the much-needed relief as he went on to say.

“Great. So, I just prepared a room in the packhouse for you permanently. How about I come to personally pick you up? I will make sure that no one ever bullies you again.”

“Uh mmm.” Alice was conflicted, and Alpha Denzel realized that Alpha Ludwig was taking advantage of her softness.

However, he did not regret giving Alice the chance to decide. She was a growing young woman who needed to be guided in taking control of her life.

Alpha Ludwig found her reluctance uneasy, adding, “Please, Alice, you know how much the pack needs you.”

It was as if Alice was struck by his words. About to agree, though sorrowful about it, she lifted her hand to look at her burnt scar once again.

With everyone’s attention on her, they were all worried to have seen a scar their attention was never drawn to in the beginning.

“What is that?” Valerie asked with worry. Alice looked at the phone in Alpha Denzel’s hand, making him realize her reluctance in making Alpha Ludwig hear about it.

“Ludwig, I’m gonna have to put you on hold for a while,” Alpha Denzel said, instantly pressed the hold button without waiting for a response.

If Alice was being abused in the Black Fur Pack, then Alpha Ludwig would not have it easy. Even their friendship might be affected by it.

“Where did you get that?”

Burke, who had never been emotional like how he was trained by his Alpha, almost shed tears when he saw the scar.

It did not look like something old. It must have been from a recent burn. Alice was finding it hard to explain it, but from the curious gazes settled on her, she could not waste time about it.

“It’s no one’s doing. Anytime I use my powers, that is the price I pay.”

This time around, their widened eyes were covered with that of horror. Alpha Denzel wondered if Kendrick and Ludwig were aware of this before their continuous use of her powers.

“You suffer burns, so why do you keep doing it? Are they aware of the consequence you go through every time?”

Alpha Denzel’s voice lost its softness, and she was already becoming afraid.
