Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: Chapter 348 – Please Take Me with You
“What if I told you that your Luna did not die and is alive?” Scarlet asked sarcastically.

It was not only Alpha Lawn who noticed the change in her voice, but also Ashley and Valerie. They observed the shift in her tone, reminiscent of one of their late aunties.

“Why has your voice changed?” Alpha Lawn inquired. Valerie moved away from Denzel, signaling that things were taking a different turn.

Scarlet appeared furious, her eyes piercing. “I loved you so much, but you chose Alma over me.”

“Eileen?” Alpha Lawn asked, taken aback by the voice.

Alma was his mate and the Luna of the Yellowstone pack who had passed away during childbirth. Now, Alma’s stepsister, Eileen, who had persistently pursued Alpha Lawn without success, claimed that her late stepsister was still alive.

“You got that right, Lawn. What did you think? That my death on the same day as my stepsister, Alma, was a coincidence? No. I loved you too much to not be by your side. Because of how you treated me, I made a deal with an old witch to seek revenge.”

Eighteen years ago

Alma, Valerie’s mother, lost her mother on her tenth birthday. Her father married Eileen’s mother, who already had Eileen from a previous relationship.

The two girls grew up together, and when Alma turned eighteen, she met her fated mate, Alpha Lawn. When Alpha Lawn went to seek her parents’ permission to take her with him as his Luna, Eileen sneaked into his room that night.

Alpha Lawn was asleep, but the unfamiliar scent woke him up. “Eileen, what are you doing here?” He was displeased and Eileen’s heart ached that he was not pleased to see her.

“I have loved you from the moment I laid eyes on you. Please take me with you,” she pleaded. Alpha Lawn was furious.

“If you don’t leave this instant, I will ensure that you are banished and never see your family again.”

She knew he had the authority to do so because her stepfather was not an Alpha. Alma came from a humble background but was destined to be a Luna.

“Okay, I will go. Can I visit some other time?”

“After what you have done, no,” Alpha Lawn firmly refused. In his youth, he was one of the most sought-after Alphas—young, strong, wealthy, and powerful.

Realizing that Alpha Lawn respected the mate bond too much to betray his mate, Eileen tried to find other ways.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. I won’t bother you anymore, and please don’t tell my stepsister.”

The next day, Alma surprised everyone when it was time for her to leave with her mate.

“Lawn, Eileen will be lonely. Can she come with us?”

“No,” Alpha Lawn rejected the idea, but Eileen persisted to the point of no return.

“I don’t know anyone in your pack. I will feel lonely when you are busy with Alpha duties and won’t be able to see you often. Eileen will keep me company during those times.”

Alpha Lawn was not pleased, but making his Luna happy was his priority. Eileen was wise enough not to cause any trouble during her stay at the Yellowstone pack, being a good aunt to her nieces when they were born.

With time, Alpha Lawn assumed that she had moved on from whatever obsession she had for him. However, it bothered him when Eileen stayed in the pack for four years without finding her mate and suggested that she returned to her pack but Eileen refused.

Alma was already pregnant with their third child, and when she went into labor, Alpha Lawn stayed by her side.

“We will get through this, just like we did with Ash and Val,” he reassured her, wiping away her tears.

“Lawn, I don’t think I can make it this time. My wolf is weak,” Alma said weakly.

It was strange that she did not sense that something was amiss with her blood. “Don’t talk like that. You will make it,” Alpha Lawn said firmly.

However, there were complications, and the doctor asked him to step out.

As he was about to leave, Alma grabbed his hand and said, “Promise me, Lawn, that if anything happens to me, you will never find another mother for our children.”

Alpha Lawn paused and stared at her. Fear suddenly gripped his soul, and he felt like he was losing her.

“Please don’t talk like that, Alma. But I promise that no other woman will take your place. I vow to be bonded with you until eternity, and nothing can separate us.”

Unbeknownst to them, Eileen was eavesdropping behind the door. The declaration made her realize that even if she went ahead and killed her stepsister as the witch had instructed her, she still would not have the man she loved.

Therefore, she harbored resentment toward her stepsister, opting for the second option—to subject her to a life of torment for the rest of her days.

When Alpha Lawn kissed Alma and left the room, Eileen struck a deal with the doctors. While waiting, Alpha Lawn received news that Eileen had fainted.

Led to the ward to check on Eileen, he was informed that she had passed away. However, a piece of good news followed.

“Congratulations, you have a third daughter.”

Alpha Lawn was most concerned about his mate. “How is our Luna? Can I see her now?”

“Alpha Lawn, we are very sorry, but we discovered too late that she had contracted a contagious disease and had to be separated from the baby. She did not make it,” the doctor apologized.

Something inside Alpha Lawn shattered at that moment. “It can’t be true. I want to see her body now,” he demanded. The doctor explained to him.

“Alpha, if you also contract this disease, your children and the pack will be at risk. We had to cremate the body.”

“No,” Alpha Lawn yelled as he grabbed the doctor by the collar. “If you don’t show me her body this instant, I will kill you.”
