Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 26

Chapter 26 – Not giving her any answers.
A small smile lined the corner of Alpha Denzel’s lips. It was true from Valerie’s words that she had fought with Adira, but Alpha Denzel only trained Adira for what he wanted of her.

If he had trained her physically like the likes of Godic, then she would have killed Valerie when she had the chance. Even before finding out about Adira’s secret calls and lies, Alpha Denzel’s instincts never allowed him to give her too much.

He always held back from teaching her everything. His guilt of not teaching Adira everything vanished when he found out about her affair with Alpha Idris. Since then, he treaded with greater caution, uncovering more of her secrets.

The only thing he didn’t know was her love for him, but even that was questionable. If she loved him, then why did she kill that wolf? Alpha Denzel was still puzzled about it. He wasn’t obliged to answer Valerie but didn’t know why he did so.

“I didn’t choose her because she was tough. I have tougher warriors.”

Confusion clouded Valerie’s mind. Every pack would choose the strongest as the Alpha, and the next as the beta. Only Alpha Denzel did things differently, including choosing a female beta.

“Then why was she your beta? Where is she anyway?” She asked again, but Alpha Denzel did not want to tell her so soon that he sent Adira away. It would not be difficult for Valerie to connect the dots, seeing how smart she was.

“Like I said, you have no right to ask questions.”

Valerie was enraged. In her mind, things were not connecting rightly since Alpha Denzel refused to answer her question. Only one thing came to mind, making him upset.

“You’ve been fucking her, haven’t you? She’s the reason why you rejected me. I don’t think you deserve the respect the packs accord you.”

Alpha Denzel found her accusation rather amusing, but he remained expressionless and didn’t defend himself, only annoying her further. “I am Alpha Denzel. I can do whatever I like.”

All his life, Alpha Denzel has found himself in situations where packs wanted a marriage alliance, but he refused them all. Never had he taken interest in any woman outside the mate bond.

At 26, he didn’t know whether to be ashamed or proud of still being a virgin. He was denied the opportunity of even kissing his destined mate because she was human. There were things he needed to explain to her before they could accept and mate with each other.

Sadly, she was taken away from him before he could experience the depth of the mate bond. Her innocent face still shone when she smiled at him the first time. That smile was enough to chase away his demons.

His wolf was eager to mate with her there and then, but Denzel shot out his beast. His mate was human, and despite the bond, he felt that he needed to take things slow since she lacked the understanding of who he was.

They agreed to meet again in the evening because she had to go to school. Yes, his mate, Lisa, was a college student. Alpha Denzel decided to pick her up from school to his manor in Las Vegas, but reaching there, he was met with the sound of sirens of an ambulance.

Lisa was stabbed when she was chatting with a friend. Her friend said that everything happened so fast, and she couldn’t see the face of the person. It was covered with a white mask like that of a joker. Lisa didn’t make it at the hospital, leaving Denzel soulless.

Denzel hasn’t stopped searching for her murderer even though the case has long been closed by the cops. He had a hunch that one of the dons was behind it, but some of those dons were just like him.

They weren’t completely human and had packs. Before Lisa died, some of Denzel’s most trusted warriors had also been murdered. They were still under training and were not as strong as Godic’s team. Denzel tested the waters and fake dated another human girl, and just like Lisa, she was also murdered after he received a letter.

The same thing happened when he fake dated another girl from another pack. She was also murdered after Denzel received a text message on his phone.

Somehow, even when he openly showed favoritism towards Adira, she was still alive. That was enough reason to make her his beta since she was quite skilled, but Denzel was watching her closely.

“You know she’s in love with you. Do you also love her, or are you just having fun with her?” Valerie asked, jolting him out of his dark memories.

A blend of bitter and painful emotions settled in his eyes. If only he knew who was involved, things would have been far easier for him. “What do you think?” He asked Valerie, but his voice came out hoarse due to suppressing so many emotions.

Valerie went into deep thought and began to analyze. “You don’t look at her like you love her. The only person you look at with love is Allesia.” Suspicion clouded in her mind as she suddenly asked, “Are you fucking her too?”

Alpha Denzel thought about Allesia, hoping that the same fate doesn’t befall her. She was just as stubborn as Valerie, but he knew that Allesia would never betray him. She would rather die than to see him suffer.

“Since you are smart enough to make all these analysis, you should be smart enough to figure it all out too,” he shrugged, leaving Valerie puzzled.

“Alpha Denzel, you are so heartless.”

A bitter smile twisted the corner of his lips as he responded, “At least, I gave you life. Before you judge me, think about that.”

He subtly felt pained by all her suspicions against him. Without another word, he turned around and left. Valerie was left hopping on one foot back to the garden. When tired, she would relax under a tree.

Suddenly, she felt a presence around. Knowing that Alpha Denzel already left, she was gripped with fear.

“Who is there?” she asked, carefully looking around. As she turned her head to the side, a strong arm swept her off her feet.
