Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 28

Chapter 28 – Is it him?
Valerie lowered her head to stifle her laughter. Alpha Denzel’s reaction was too funny. When she realized that Allessia had a weakness for salt and pepper after tasting the scrambled eggs, she offered to grill the chicken.

However, due to how nice Allessia had been to her, she couldn’t allow her to face the embarrassment, speaking in her defense. “It wasn’t her fault. I didn’t check with her if she already added salt before adding more.”

A profound smile curled Allessia’s lips. She already felt that they were going to be very good friends. Alpha Denzel was impatient. He also knew that Valerie lied as Allessia already had this weakness. “I tasted it so let’s go.”

Allessia frowned and ran to his side. All her efforts would be ruined if he refused to eat the other dishes. This was her chance to get him to like Valerie. To her, Alpha Denzel would never find a better woman than Valerie.

“Taste the chicken. Val made it herself,” she mistakenly blurted out, instantly gritting her teeth and wishing that Alpha Denzel hadn’t heard.

To her disadvantage, he heard it and abruptly rose from the dining chair with a grim expression. “The more reason why I don’t want it.”

Valerie was pained hearing his ruthless words. Would it hurt to just say that he wasn’t hungry? She wondered if Alpha Denzel had any polite words in his dictionary.

Allessia was equally disheartened. She knew that he was indeed hungry but only refused to eat because the food was prepared by Valerie. A profound idea crossed her mind and she smiled.

“Sorry Val.” Allessia paused and added, “Please pardon me for calling you Val but I promise not to betray you. I will take some of the food to the packhouse to eat later.”

Valerie forced a smile and helped her to package the food with aluminum foil, leaving behind just enough for herself.

Reaching the packhouse, Alpha Denzel went to his room and straight to his washroom. He felt sticky from so much sweat, which made him uncomfortable.

As he was bathing, his sharp ears and sensitive nature sensed a movement in his room. “Who is there?” he asked, quickly wrapping a towel around his waist. There was no one in the room when he got out of the shower, but the aroma of grilled chicken could not be ignored.

Firstly, he walked to the door and locked it. The only person bold enough to bring food to his room was Allessia. Also, the food looked enticingly familiar. A smile stretched Alpha Denzel’s lips as he took in the sight of the grilled chicken.

Sitting down on the couch, he took his time and chewed the chicken, savoring its juices. After that, he gulped down the fruit juice, disposed off the plates, before carefully washing his hands and even rubbing them with fragrance.

He also made sure to brush his teeth before washing his mouth with mouthwash to remove all traces of aroma from what he had eaten. After putting on some casual clothes, drying and combing his hair, he called one of the omegas and gave her the wastebasket. “Dispose of it.”

The servant obeyed as Allessia met Alpha Denzel beneath the stairs. “How was it? Did you like it?” Her eyes were shining as she waited for positive news.

If Alpha Denzel ate the chicken, then it meant that he didn’t hate Valerie, right?

“It’s just as I thought. It was you. Never step your foot in my room again,” Alpha Denzel barked, but his gaze was not cold.

“What about the chicken and juice?” Allessia asked quickly. He glanced at her and replied nonchalantly,

“I disposed of them.”

Allessia’s joy died as she saw the omega carrying the wastebasket and her face fell. “If you didn’t want it, you should have just returned it. They were so delicious; I would have had them for supper.”

Alpha Denzel was smiling internally, but his eyes were dark. “Cook anything you want. I have to go.”

As he walked away, a smirk appeared at the corner of his lips.

Adira and Alpha Idris were having the quietest trip when Alpha Idris suddenly broke the silence.

“You should have given me a chance. You gave him your love and yet, he replaced you instantly with Allessia, a weaker she-wolf.”

Adira was so bitter that she didn’t want to talk about it. All her plans failed and she only earned Alpha Denzel’s wrath instead of his love. It was all because of Valerie and Allessia. Everything was going smoothly until those two arrived.

“It’s not your business.”

Alpha Idris didn’t like the attitude she was giving him. After all, he wasn’t as patient as Alpha Denzel. “Don’t forget that I’m now your Alpha. I could make you a gamma or beta.”

Adira has been a lover of power, so his words got her attention. “You already have a beta,” she hinted, not wanting any position lower than that.

Alpha Idris saw the ambition in her eyes and replied, “I can still change him if you play by my rules.”

Adira went into deep thought, about to respond when her phone rang. “Is he the one calling? Did he change his mind?” Alpha Idris asked seriously, wishing that Denzel would change his mind and give him Valerie instead.

The rumors about her innocence were already spreading around the packs like wildfire. Alpha Idris knew that soon, Valerie would regain her honor and even someone like him would not be able to stand before her.

If he had gotten the opportunity of having her in his pack now, the potential of her becoming the Luna of the Litha Moon Pack would have been higher.

Adira checked the screen of the phone and seeing the caller ID, she quickly switched off the phone and shoved it back into her handbag.

Alpha Idris’s gaze darkened, as he wondered whose call made her so afraid. “Who just called? Is it him?”
