they are coming back

Luna Hailley’s P.O.V.

 

“What are you doing? Adolphus doesn’t like lilies. Why did you use lilies in decoration?” I yelled at the omega who had flowers for decoration in her hands.

She flinched harder, almost screamed in fear, but her head was still lowered.

“Hailley. What are you doing?” I huffed and glared at Lucifer when he yelled at me from behind.

“Did you forget it’s Maddie who is supervising decorations?” He asked me, and I narrowed my eyes, still glaring at him.

He stopped in front of me and looked at the omega first.

“You go and do your work. Tell Maddie to talk to Luna.” He instructed her, and I grumbled.

“Now why are you asking Maddie to talk to me?”

He smiled while taking me into his embrace before answering me.

“So that you can scold her for bringing something that your precious son doesn’t like.”

“So what if she added lilies? She loves lilies, and a few lilies aren’t going to give him an allergic reaction.” I was still grumbling, but in my heart, I felt guilty.

“Ha… so… because your Maddie likes lilies, you let them use it?” he asked me teasingly, and I immediately jabbed my elbow to his lower ribs.

“Ouch… why did you hit me?” He grumbled while wincing in pain.

“Stop faking it, and what’s wrong with Maddie using her favorite flowers?” I didn’t give him any chance to stretch this argument as I immediately pulled myself away from his embrace.

“Did you check the setting arrangements, and did you have enough guards assigned to take care of the teenagers and youngsters tonight?” I asked him while walking towards the kitchen.

“Everything has been done according to your instruction, baby. Don’t you trust me?” I asked me and I rolled my eyes.

My wolf, Marie, snickered at the back of my head, but I didn’t let her make this known to Lucifer.

Although Lucifer was a powerful and ruthless alpha, he had a very fragile heart that breaks on very superficial things sometimes.

“But only because of us,” Marie remarked with a giggle.

I smirked while glancing at him from my peripheral vision.

As I thought, he had a hurtful expression on his face, but I didn’t pay attention to him.

This was his usual tactic to get my attention.

“Ruth…. is the final preparation done?” I asked the head of the kitchen, as soon as I reached the kitchen door.

“Yes, Luna. Beta Maddie has already finalized the final menu this morning. We are preparing everything according to that, and we are almost done with the feast.” Ruth informed, and I nodded with the satisfaction.

“You are really lucky that you have Maddie to share half of your burden.” Lucifer teased me, and I smiled widely.

“You go ahead and finish everything. Adolphus will be here at any time.” I instructed Ruth before moving towards Lucifer.

“Of course, I am. The Moon Goddess didn’t give me her as my daughter, but it was my luck that I still have her.” I replied proudly, thinking about my lovely and beautiful girl.

“Let’s go. They are only ten minutes away from the border.” He told me calmly, but I could feel his excitement hidden in his voice.

I was so excited that I almost felt dizzy, but Lucifer held me tightly in his embrace.

“Calm down, my love. Our son has come back.” he comforted me in a gentle tone.

“I… I know, Lucifer. It has been ages since I saw him last. He is our only pup, and yet you sent him away as if you don’t love him.” I complained in a cracked voice while walking towards the living room of the pack house.

“That was necessary, Hailly, and you know that. We both know what is at stake, and he must be powerful enough to win that battle.” He replied with the same thing that I already knew, but I was a mother before a Luna.

“How I wish that the Moon Goddess would make Adolphus Maddie’s second chance mate, Lucifer. This is her home and she should be here all her life. I… I … you don’t know how anxious and devastated I was when Maddie told me that she found her mate that.” I paused and felt a pang of pain in my chest while thinking about my wicked wish, and to my horror, that came true too.

I was happy and heartbroken at the same time.

Happy because that b**tard rejected her.

Heartbroken because it also caused pain to Maddie.

 

We stopped outside the border when I saw our beta couple coming to us. “The car is ready.” Albert informed us excitedly.

Their son, Nathan, was also coming back today, and this made a double celebration in our pack tonight.

I ran to Rita, and we both screamed excitedly while holding each other’s hands tightly.

“Where is Maddie?” I asked when I didn’t see her while walking to the car.

“She is at the party site. A few teenagers started a brawl,” Rita told me hurriedly.

It’s not like she wasn’t worried about Maddie in her excitement to see her son like me.

Maddie is about to share the beta position with Nathan, and it proves how capable she is.

 I and Rita hopped into the back seat of the car while Lucifer took the passenger seat and Albert was in the driver’s seat.

I could feel how anxious she was. She was rubbing her palms continuously while looking outside the window.

“You will meet him soon, Ruby. Just a few more minutes.” I comforted her in a cracked voice; tears were also filling my eyes.

“I… I know, Hailley, but I am anxious. How would they react when they learn about what happened to Maddie in the alpha’s meet. The king assured us that he wouldn’t let the news get out of the royal pack, but they are so protective towards Maddie th… that.”

She didn’t need to finish the sentence because I know my son and Nathan just like her.
