Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 474

Chapter 474: Chapter 474 – Then reject him now
“Cairo, I heard that Denver and Moonlight have arrived. Your mom and grandma are going to get them, so don’t keep anyone waiting anymore. They are our last guests,” Idris said hastily to his son.

Alpha Cairo was very happy about the news as he missed Denver and Moonlight a lot.

He had met Moonlight many times at the Evergreen pack or during birthday parties. She just grew scarce at the time Denver was presumed dead.

However, Cairo also knew about the special bond she shared with Denver, not daring to imagine her as his mate despite her stunning beauty and all the amazing things he heard about her.

Denver and Moonlight had not attended his Alpha coronation because Denver was presumed dead by then.

Cairo had been very busy with his Alpha responsibilities and had not attended many events, delegating them to his beta.

“I’m ready, dad, and I hope to find my mate. I’m starting to lose hope,” Cairo said as he admired himself in the mirror one last time. Idris smiled.

“I waited over seven years after my coronation to find my mate, so be patient,” his father encouraged him. But having heard the story of how his father used to womanize before finding his mate, Cairo was skeptical.

“You were having a lot of fun back then, but I have only kept myself for my mate.”

Idris could not argue, feeling ashamed of his past behaviors.

“Alright, alright, go ahead. I will come later. You know all attention has to be on you, so I can’t walk you down the stairs.”

“Okay, wish me luck, dad,” Cairo said as he walked to the door.

“Good luck, son,” Idris replied and opened the door for him.

It was just strange that the closer he got, the more excited his wolf became. But when he realized his mate was Moonlight, fear surged through his heart.

‘She can’t be our mate. She belongs to Denver,’ Cairo tried to chastise his wolf, but that was not working.

‘No, she’s ours.’

Cairo was at a loss because of how Denver had dealt with any man who got close to Moonlight, and with their parents being cousins, he did not want trouble.

Their mothers were even siblings. Beads of sweat began to form on his face, which irritated him, as he signaled the DJ to turn off the music.

However, that only attracted Moonlight’s attention as their gazes locked.

As much as his wolf wanted to roar, Cairo subdued and dominated him, surprised to hear Moonlight’s confession,

“Mate.”

At this juncture, he couldn’t cage his wolf anymore, as a possessive roar escaped him.

“Mine.”

Moonlight was a woman no man dared to look at, but she was his destined mate, so he had the right to look at her.

The more he stared at her, the deeper he fell in love with her. She was stunning, even prettier than he had seen her during her younger days. But there was a monster beside her.

Denver’s attractive features were all masked from the shock, as a cold glare sat on his face, a low, dangerous growl escaping him.

He did not expect Moonlight to publicly confess it.

She should have held it in and rather excused herself with Cairo to break the bond. But now, she was not even taking her eyes off him, which made Denver jealous and upset.

Ever since she was born, she always belonged to him. But what pained him the most was the intense attraction and love in her eyes towards Cairo, which he never saw before and never knew existed.

Cairo’s arms were already wrapped around Moonlight, and she didn’t even push him away. This was the first time anyone who was not Denver or Monterey ever got so close to her.

Well, Denver felt she had forgotten and was going to remind her of her promise, creating a distance between Moonlight and Cairo despite the aghast gazes of everyone around.

“Back off, Cairo, she’s mine,” Denver roared in an Alpha tone, pushing Cairo with a force that would have killed him if Idris had not appeared in time to catch him before his head hit the wall.

Everyone stepped back in fear when Denver hastened to Cairo but was quickly blocked by Moonlight.

She knew he was angry and might kill Cairo before realizing it.

“He’s your cousin, Denver, you can’t hurt him,” she reminded him. Denver’s gaze softened a little as he stared at her.

“Then reject him now,” he demanded, but Moonlight’s expression was rather gloomy.

Her eyes were teary and rolled down her cheeks. “Denver, please, let’s talk about this.”

He softened even more because of her tears, making him feel as if he was hurting her. Everyone was amazed by the way his emotions kept switching because of Moonlight, and Cairo could not help feeling jealous.

The mate bond made him possessive of Moonlight, making it difficult for him to tolerate her closeness with Denver.

However, growing up together, he knew Denver’s strength and was no match for him, though a few months older.

He could only endure his burning jealousy at seeing Denver cupping Moonlight’s cheeks in the palm of his hands.

“You promised, Moonlight. Just do it,” Denver commanded. Moonlight gazed at Cairo, whose eyes were dark. Their wolves already accepted each other.

Why was it so hard? She meant it when she made the promise, even wanting Denver to mark and mate with her by then. But it suddenly didn’t feel right anymore.

“I’m sorry.” Her voice came out as a whisper, but it shredded Denver’s heart or rather, broke it into a million pieces.

“What?” Denver’s eyes were filled with disappointment at Moonlight’s apology and disdain towards Cairo.

Moonlight was his, and their reason for coming was to find and reject their mates.

Denver did not expect to be the rejected one, feeling an indescribable pain in his chest when she went on to say, “My wolf accepted him, Denver. I can’t let him go. The bond between us is too strong.”

His eyes reddened when he stared at her, his heart unable to endure the pain.

“So, you are breaking up with me?”
