บททั้งหมดของ The Alpha's Reject: Craving his Wolfless Luna: บทที่ 21 - บทที่ 30

Alpha Lucas held their small hands and led them outside. He didn't know what to think seeing Karson act all caring and affectionate with the kids. Did he know they were Irene's kids?No, it didn't seem like he did. If anything, Irene would be particular about not wanting Karson to find out. It was no gainsaying that Karson had his eyes on Irene. The way he stared at her and even fought for her attention, it was starting to annoy Alpha Lucas.He didn't know he was already pissed off until he saw Karson being cute around the kids. Who knew that young and grumpy Alpha had a sweet side to him?Tempted to ask the kids what the conversation was all about, he decided to start with something light, "how did you two get here? You made mummy so worried. Did you come here all by yourselves?""No," Karin replied, shaking her head. "Some men tried to kidnap us but they drove us here saying they'll help us find mummy.""We escaped," Carl chipped in. "I'm so full! That food was delicious.""Haha! I

IRENE'S POV"Oh Goddess!" Nanny May had her hand over her mouth when we stepped into the house. Tears filled her eyes so suddenly as she ran to the kids and hugged them. "I'm so sorry," she apologised over and over again and I could only imagine the scare she went through last night." It's okay, May. They are fine," I assured her but she couldn't stop crying as she touched their faces to make sure they were fine.It took a lot of convincing that no harm came to them before she could finally calm down and take her leave." You see that?" I placed my hands on my waist as I scolded Carl and Karin. "Don't ever repeat what you did ever again. You made a lot of people worry about you."They lowered their heads as if in remorse and I would've believed them if I didn't know the kind of kids I had. Something just told me otherwise.Now that we were within the walls of our place, I sat on the couch and pulled them closer, placing them on my thigh to sit." Carl" I called, feeling nervous to ev

KARSON "Did you check again?" I asked, sounding urgent into the phone as I paced my room, biting my nails."Yes, Alpha. There's little to no information about the twins," the investigator replied with a shaky voice.Something didn't feel right, I could tell in my guts that something was wrong. Could it have been tampered with?"And their mother?"" The children are registered under a nanny called Nanny May.""So they are foster kids? Where do they live? Get me the address!""I-I- Alpha, there's no information on that," he sounded worried, probably too bombarded with the questions to know which one to reply first. "Their identity as well as several others are withheld. The reason is unknown."I knew it, something is really going on and I'm starting to feel like Alpha Lucas has a hand in this. That old man would do anything to safeguard Irene from any possible suitors just to keep him to herself.I've seen the interest in his eyes and how intently he stares at her. But what good will c

IRENE I looked out the window as Alpha Lucas pulled out from the driveway of the restaurant we stopped to have lunch in. I bit my nails as my thoughts wandered without much effort.Karson's visit this morning was yet to leave my thoughts and I couldn't stop or kick out the nervous feeling in my chest.Could he have discovered something and just wanted to watch the guilt on my face?He came up with no shame, asking about my whereabouts over and over again like he was trying to piece two and two together-- what could he have known?No, no, surely if he knew something, he wouldn't have hesitated to slam it in my face. He was brimming with so much annoyance and pride like he wanted to put an end to my resistance once and for all.He wouldn't have missed the chance to threaten me. I know he could do that.I should feel half relieved that right now he's all barks and no bites but for how long?How long will this go on? The determination in his fine black eyes scared me and they were all I

IRENEHer face brightened up when she saw me and my heart couldn't contain itself. I felt a rush of emotion just staring at her face again. Time had done her well. In just five years, my aunt had aged like fine wine. She looked even more beautiful with the wrinkles around the corners of her mouth and her eyes."Oh, don't look at me like that," she scoffed as she rose to her feet, staring at me with glassy eyes. "You're the one who looks too good to be true." She spread her arms wide, "Come here, Irene-"I don't know when I rush into her embrace, wrapping my arms around her so tight like I could merge into her body.The tears fall and I squeeze my fist to get a hold on myself, shaking from the emotions swirling up inside me.When we pulled away after a while, I'm surprised to see her cheeks were wet. She touched my face like I'm a dream and I'd vanish by the time she opened her eyes."You have no idea how much I've missed you."I couldn't begin to imagine it. She's raised me like her o
