Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas - Chapter 69

Chapter 69: Chapter 69 – I Have Good News
“Miss, I’ve been waiting for three hours. When is your boss coming?” A young woman in her late twenties asked.

Her blonde hair was held in a ponytail as she fidgeted anxiously with her phone. It was as if she was trying to avoid someone.

Cordelia looked at the time on the screen of her laptop and said, “My instruction is to make you wait. I have no idea when he will be here.”

Cordelia was excited that her boss would be in the office since she had completed her workload. It wasn’t every day she had advance notice of when he would be in the office, but the suspicion that he might be coming because of this woman filled her with unease.

However, this was a good time for Don Denzel to be around, as there were so many Dons in this casino. It was their head office, attracting the top billionaires and mafia Dons.

The woman sitting on the secretary’s visitor’s chair frequently glanced at her wristwatch. “I have to go. I don’t have all night.” She rose to her feet, picking up her not-so-expensive handbag which she had placed close to her feet.

Cornelia frowned slightly. “Don’t you want the job anymore?” She asked, worried about how to make the woman stay without using violence. That was Don Denzel’s instruction. They were to ensure that the woman did not leave without seeing him.

“I do, but it’s already dark,” the woman, Aurora, said with fear in her eyes. She was afraid of someone and had to leave before it was too late.

“You want a job as a club manager. It’s a night job,” Cornelia reminded her, annoyed that she complained about the time. It seemed Aurora had no idea what she had signed up for.

“My car has a fault,” Aurora explained with a forced smile. She was excited about the job, but her safety mattered too.

“If you leave, my boss will feel disrespected, and you won’t get the job,” Cornelia said seriously, as she wasn’t making headway in convincing Aurora to stay.

“I really need this job, but my life is still more important. I have to go.”

As soon as Aurora reached the entrance, she was blocked by Godic. “Sorry, miss. You want the job, and my boss is on his way to conduct this final interview because of you. You can’t leave.”

Aurora was sweating in the cold air-conditioned room. Perhaps she shouldn’t have applied for a job in a casino.

At the Evergreen Pack, Valerie was bored to death. There was nothing more to do after turning the garden into her safe haven. Sitting around watching butterflies and birds was not her style. Putting on training gear, she ran into the woods.

The last time, Ryker had said she would need her wolfy instincts to climb that huge tree, but she wanted to use human abilities.

The trunk of the tree was so rough, her fingers were bruised as she tried to climb it, making a mental note to wear gloves next time.

After the ninth attempt and failing terribly at it, she sank to the base of the tree and wept. “I’m so useless. I guess I have to pray that no war breaks out.”

Her tears were uncontrollable as she fell asleep under the tree. Waking up to the chirping sound of birds, it was getting dark, so she walked back to the cottage to shower. She was about to undress when she heard a knock on the door, wondering if it was Ryker.

She quickly dressed up but also remembered that the two times Ryker came, it was late at night, almost midnight. Perhaps it was Alessia.

“Val, where have you been? I was here before but couldn’t find you,” Alessia said worriedly when Valerie opened the door. Valerie smiled, happy that Alessia was there to keep her company.

If not, she might go crazy and do something stupid. “Aless, I went to train in the woods.”

Alessia followed as Valerie walked to the bedroom door. It was an ensuite, having the bathroom and toilet inside. “I will be quick.”

Alessia nodded her head and waited. A few minutes later, Valerie returned in her pajamas before Alessia stared worriedly at her.

“Your eyes are puffy. Have you been crying?” She asked worriedly, guessing that Valerie missed her pack.

Valerie forced a smile and shook her head. “No. So how is the pack?” She asked, diverting attention from herself.

Alessia was all smiles. “Peaceful. I have good news.”

Valerie’s eyes lit with hope, though she had no idea what kind of news Alessia had. Maybe the latter had found her mate. “Then let me hear it.”

“Well. Alpha Tristan released the pack members in your support at the dungeon.”

Valerie stiffened slightly, a frown lining her face. She only expected to hear such news from Ryker, and though he said he was going to take care of it, she had no hope. Also, she had promised him a kiss.

Valerie’s face turned red. She never wanted to kiss any man who wasn’t her mate but had somehow given herself away. Worry nudged her heart. “How is that possible? Was there another attack?” She asked, doubting that Ryker was the one.

“No. They even tried to upset him and mentioned your name multiple times, but he did nothing,” Alessia explained, just as the informant had told her on the phone.

“That is strange,” Valerie murmured, but Alessia was disappointed not to see a smile on her face in response to the news.

“Well, I thought you’d be happy.”

Valerie forced a smile. “I am. I’m just wondering why he released them when they were still disobedient.”

“Everyone is just as confused as you are, but guess what, I brought you a phone, and from now on, you can call and chat with me whenever you are bored,” Alessia gave her a box.

Valerie’s eyes lit up, and she eagerly opened the box to see an expensive phone. Finally, she could get in touch with Ashley but what she got was unexpected.
