Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 477

Chapter 477: Chapter 477 – I hurt him so much, I can’t forgive myself.
Alpha Denzel felt helpless with the turn of events, but at the very least, he could see the purity of the relationship between Moonlight and Denver.

He had his suspicions about it but decided to keep them to himself until Denver’s return.

“Don’t worry, Moonlight. Denver has the ability to teleport and has gone to Las Vegas,” Alpha Denzel reassured her.

“Denver can teleport?” Alpha Cairo asked, a slight fear evident in his tone. Denver was indeed not an ordinary werewolf and possessed exceptional talents. Despite this, Moonlight had chosen the mate bond over the love she felt for Denver.

“That should not be a cause for concern. When do you two plan on being coronated?” Alpha Denzel asked, shifting the conversation away from Denver.

He was genuinely happy for them, knowing that Moonlight was destined to be a Luna, whether she stayed with Denver or her mate.

“Congratulations, Moonlight,” he added.

Moonlight did not feel happy, only managing a forced smile as Cairo responded to Alpha Denzel’s question.

“I’m ready whenever she is.”

Everyone’s gaze turned to Moonlight, but her eyes remained fixed on where Denver had disappeared.

“Moonlight, what’s the matter?” Valerie asked softly, noticing a tear falling from Moonlight’s eyes.

“I hurt him so much, I can’t forgive myself,” Moonlight confessed.

Valerie embraced her, wiping away her tears and offering comfort. “Don’t worry about it. He will be fine once he finds his mate.”

“Then I will wait until his return. Is that okay, Cairo?” Moonlight asked desperately, seeking Cairo’s approval.

Cairo remained silent, deep in thought, but before he could respond, Alpha Denzel intervened.

“No, it’s not right. Go live your life, Moonlight. Don’t let this disturb you,” he advised.

“But it does,” Moonlight insisted. “I won’t get mated, marked, or coronated unless I see Denver happy,” she vowed, her determination evident in her eyes.

Moonlight had already chosen Cairo, so if the least he could do was wait for Denver’s return, then why not?

“It’s okay. I’ll be with you for as long as it takes until Denver returns before we leave,” Cairo finally agreed.

His response surprised everyone, as they had expected him to leave for Moonlight to join him after Denver’s return.

Moonlight seemed to have the best of men by her side, from her father, Alpha Denzel, to Denver, Monterey, and even her mate.

“Thank you, Cairo,” Moonlight said, embracing him. The bond between them instantly came alive, confirming to her that she had made the right decision.

However, she had no intention of having any pleasure until Denver was fine.

“Alright then. You’ll share her room,” Alpha Denzel instructed Cairo, hoping they would mate and mark each other.

Before Moonlight could object, Valerie chimed in. “And I’ll make you both something to eat.”

Moonlight wasn’t feeling hungry; she missed Denver terribly. “Did Denver eat before leaving?” she asked anxiously, her concern shared by everyone, including Cairo.

They had always cooked and eaten together, so how could the Moon Goddess not pair them? It was heartbreaking.

“Moonlight, Denver should be in Vegas by now. Godic and Alessia will ensure he eats, as I have already informed them. Don’t forget he has Gemma, Grant, Zachary, and Zoe to keep him company. Besides, the business there is extensive and will occupy most of his time,” Alpha Denzel reassured her.

Moonlight felt a deep sense of emptiness as Alpha Denzel tried to explain Denver’s imaginary schedule.

“Please, Uncle Denzel, I want to be with him. To be there for him,” Moonlight pleaded, with Cairo growing increasingly uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation.

However, Alpha Denzel intervened once more. “I can, but I won’t allow it. The two of you need space, so my advice is for you to focus on getting marked and mated,” he advised directly.

Alpha Denzel was not one to waste time on such matters. If Moonlight went to be with Denver, he doubted they would ever get over each other, which was necessary for them to move on with their lives.

Moonlight found it selfish to enjoy the pleasure of being marked and mated when she had no idea how Denver was faring.

Alice felt the same way. She accepted her daughter’s decision to accept her mate, but the mating and marking could wait until Denver was fine.

Feeling the awkwardness of the situation, Alice stepped in. “Or you can help in the kitchen. You both look famished,” she suggested.

“Alright, I will help in the kitchen,” Moonlight agreed, forcing a smile.

As soon as they left, Alpha Denzel smiled at Cairo.

“Alpha Cairo, you’ve grown since the last time I saw you,” he remarked playfully, causing Cairo to smile shyly.

Alpha Denzel’s interactions with his son, nieces, and nephews brought out a rare tenderness in him.

Smiling came naturally to him as he watched them grow, adding to the changes in his personality, aside from those brought about by Valerie.

“Yes, Uncle Denzel, I’ve been very busy. My parents and grandma never stop talking about you and Auntie Valerie,” Cairo shared.

Alpha Denzel missed them too. “It’s a good thing your coronation is coming up. I will get to see them soon,” Alpha Denzel said, patting Cairo on the shoulder and sensing the tension within him, likely due to Moonlight.

“Feel free. This is your second home, after all,” Alpha Denzel reassured him.

Cairo felt a sense of unease. To him, Alpha Denzel should be upset, not so calm. “You’re not upset that I’m mated to Moonlight instead of Denver?” Cairo asked.

Alpha Denzel chuckled. “Why should I be? I’m not the Moon Goddess. Feel at home, kiddo. You are my son just as much as Moonlight is. She grew up in this pack house, and I’ve always seen and treated her like a daughter,” he explained.

Cairo smiled, engaging in conversation with Monterey until the food was ready.

He had initially planned to stay for just a few days, but it ended up being close to a month before Denver returned, looking different with his long hair gone but he was not alone.
