Chapter 5

Keegan’s POV

“Damn it! If you don’t want to help, then don’t!” I shout as I slap my table, pass by it, and slam myself down into my swivel chair.

My chest heaves with ragged breaths, fury boiling over because of Lilian.

I mindlessly start grabbing documents from my table and sorting them out in a way I don’t even know until I give up and slam them back down on the table, shaking everything on it.

“Alpha?” Dom cautiously enters the room, eyes wandering over my messy table.

Leaning back on my seat, I heave a sigh and massage the bridge of my nose before pointing and ordering, “Get me the list of everyone in the pack and in the company that has rh-null blood.”

He looks at me in a mix of confusion and shock. “Do we still need more? I thought Luna Lillian would–”

“Just do it, Dom!” I shout irritably, but he only manages to nod his head and leave.

I shake my head as my eyes dart down to my drawer. Sighing, I open it and pull out a blueprint, slowly unfolding it on my table, almost covering the surface entirely.

On top of the blueprints are printed characters that read, “Warrior Academy”. My fingers tap on the table like I am playing a piano as Lillian’s face earlier flashed before my eyes.

I can’t believe that Lillian has the guts to ask me for a divorce.

A sneer left my lips as I was reminded that, according to her, she’s not even asking me. She’s informed me. INFORMING ME!

After everything she has done to me, from orchestrating that fake mate bond and all her lies, I forgive her and yet here she is throwing a tantrum over a blood transfusion.

If she doesn’t want to do it, then that's fine. Why does she have to mention a divorce?

I glare at the blueprint in front of me, feeling devastated by how ungrateful Lillian is being. 

As a warrior, I know how bored she must be already from being stuck in the house all day and week, so I have been very busy these past three months running around from pack to pack to get this blueprint done for a training academy for her that she can get her hands full with.

But she’s my Luna, and letting her put herself at risk by getting in wars is out of the question, so I rack my brain out just to find the best solution for her.

I even do everything to please Sienna, just so she can share the knowledge she gained from her training and research abroad, to make this academy perfect.

But after all that effort, what do I get? Her freaking tantrum like a freaking child!

“Alpha, here’s the list you want.” Dom places down a folder on my table, and I merely nod as fire within me is still flaming, and I can’t think straight yet to handle more things.

“You can handle it.”

He nods his head and grabs the file back, but then he remains standing there.

Lifting my head, I glare at him and snap, “What? Is there something else?”

He looks hesitant but later on replies, “It’s Luna Lillian’s birthday tomorrow. Do you need me to prepare a gift?”

I am about to nod my head, but then I remember what I witnessed outside the pack house earlier, just right when I walked out of the gate. Uncle Craig and Lillian are holding each other’s hands.

Is that why she wants the divorce? Is that it?

Questions flood my mind in irritation. She’s a warrior, and a great one at that. A mere scratch on the hand isn’t even enough to make her cry, and yet there she is crying and asking for attention from another man! And of all people, she finds my own uncle as her target!

With boiling blood, I shake my head. “No need. She doesn’t deserve it.”

“Then… about the replacement of Luna, shall we–”

I snap and ask, ask frantically, “Don’t you have much work to do, Dom? Why are you so into this topic?!”

“I…”

“Take care of Sienna and the child first, then we will discuss this!” After saying that, I wave my hand and gesture for him to leave, which he immediately understands.

I snatch a pencil from my organiser and am about to continue adding notes and details to the blueprint, but the irritation I feel is still not subsiding, leaving me no choice but to just throw the pencil and lean back to my seat.

Closing my eyes, I take a couple of deep breaths and try to calm myself.

“Don’t you think I deserve an explanation?”

Lillian’s question to me at the treatment room earlier echoes in my ears as soon as I close my eyes, making my head ache even more.

I know it’s my fault for not giving her an explanation, but how do I even explain to her how Sienna and I got so drunk at one of the business dealings that we woke up in the same bed the next day?

She’s surprised, confused, and probably even hurt from knowing I have a child, but it already happened, and it’s not like I can run away from it. I have a responsibility, and it’s my pup!

I’m just as surprised as she is, but I'm trying to handle everything so that this mess doesn't affect her or her position.

Besides, she’s my wife; what does she have to be worried about? After Sienna gives birth, it will be feasible for Lillian to adopt the child, especially since rumours have it that she's the one pregnant.

I have it all planned out.

Even after all she has done, I never thought of leaving her. After all, even if she’s a warrior, she’s only an Omega. She will not be able to survive if she leaves my wing…

Her title as a Luna and having me is the best chance she has of living a comfortable life.

And now, because of Sienna’s pregnancy, everything becomes more complicated. If it gets known to the public that it isn’t Luna who got pregnant, it will be a huge scandal. Our pack will be a laughing stock, Sienna will be ridiculed as a woman, Lillian will be deemed useless as a wife, and if worse comes to worst, the elders might dethrone me as an Alpha.

Dom and I probably have foreseen the same problem, and that’s why he suggests it.

However, we have a different way of solving it, so for now, I just make it seem like I am considering his suggestion and let the rumour continue that it's Lillian who's pregnant.

Sighing, I partially realise that the situation that falls on Lillian is a little bit unfair, and those things falling on her all at once must have been difficult.

Giving in, I dial Dom’s number. “I changed my mind. Go and buy Lillian a gift. Make sure it’s better than last year’s gift.”

The line goes silent for a while, confusing me. “Dom?”

He clears his throat. “Alpha… You didn’t make me buy Luna a gift last year.”

My brows furrow as I can’t remember why. I shake my head and think that he probably did something stupid back then. “Then the year before.”

“Uhm… You never sent me to buy any gifts for Luna Lillian’s birthday for the past three years, Alpha,” he replies quietly.

Chill runs down my body, stiffening after hearing his reply. “Get into my office,” I ordered.

I swallow hard as I feel a lump in my throat. Now I realise why Lillian must be so difficult today. It turns out I have been a bit insensitive toward her over the past years.

A smile forms on my lips at that realisation, after a quick solution comes into my mind.

As soon as Dom walks in, I start ordering even when he still hasn’t arrived in front of my desk. “Book the entire restaurant at the penthouse of our hotel chain tomorrow night and set off fireworks at the time you think best.”

Snapping my finger at my great idea, I add, “And also buy the newest jewellery set for this season.”

My eyes glint with excitement, and I smile with satisfaction, knowing Lillian will come running back to me after this and never mention divorce again.
