After the introduction, the Elder and I delved into the goal of our arranged meeting with Mr. Wright joining us much later. He had some projects that needed my expertise, and I also shared some accomplishments of my online business.

Jared remained quiet throughout and observed us. Though I still felt cautious of his gaze, my attention was more on my work than him.

An hour later, the meeting ended on a satisfactory note.

‘’I should escort Miss Quinn out, sir.’’ Jared offers to escort me again. Without a hesitation, I refuse him outright.

‘’There’s no need, Mr. Henderson.’’ I reply with a smooth smile, one that barely mask my clenched teeth. ‘’Mr. Wright can escort me out.’’

‘’It’s best not disturb Mr. Wright when I am free.’’ He counters and my lips twitched in irritation.

This jerk!

‘’I can leave on my own.’’ I say more firmly this time.

‘’You are someone who the President personally invited from your country, Miss Quinn.’’ Jared did not give up and continues, his eyes piercing mine.

  • THE ALPHA'S REPLACEMENT MATE: UNWANTED LUNA HAS A SON   Unapologetic Karen

    Huh?A fox in disguise?Puzzled, I turn around to see Karen Smiths staring at me with her nose up in the air, her familiar arrogant aura, and her eyes grimacing with contempt.This was different from the docile Karen that I met with police officer outside the ward earlier.‘’Seducing men even old ones left and right. That must be your specialty through your disgusting underhanded methods.’’ She mocks without hiding her disdain.Seducing again?‘’President Cadel, Daddy and even Big brother are taking your side and not mine. The accident was not even my fault.’’ She complains with a sneer and reveals. ‘’Í only paid those riff-raff to scare your son and demand a ransom from you. I did not orchestrate the truck accident yet everyone is acting like I was behind that!’’ Karen stomps her feet angrily, not even bothered that this was a hospital ward and my son was still unconscious.This was someone who wanted to apologize?‘’It’s all your fault!’’ She glares hatefully at me. However, I only

  • THE ALPHA'S REPLACEMENT MATE: UNWANTED LUNA HAS A SON   Bribe

    I could already imagine what happens when I face decision of the elder council. Elder Cadel has already revealed a glimpse.I had no chance of stopping Lucian from going to the Northern moon pack as the future Alpha.That also meant that I have to face my past which I never want to. I also can never abandon my precious Lucian because of the situation.‘I should leave Minnesota once Lucian is discharged.’ My eyes flick towards the bed as I made my decision.I guess I won’t be able to attend the wedding, but Stephanie and Logan should understand my reasons. The sooner I leave Minnesota, the better for myself and Lucian. At least, I got to attend their engagement.‘’Why don’t you stay with me before you return to the Northern moon pack?’’ My eyes return to Elder Cadel who brought that suggestion just now.His words were backed with resolute confidence that I will definitely be forced to bring Lucian to the Northern Moon pack.I did not like it, but Elder Cadel has never been entitled to

  • THE ALPHA'S REPLACEMENT MATE: UNWANTED LUNA HAS A SON   Elder Cadel's visit

    ‘’Thank you for the visit, Elder.’’ I smile gratefully at the aged werewolf in the ward. Not long after I had freshened up, a nurse informed me that I had a visitor.Elder Cadel.It seemed word of Lucian’s accident had reached his ears somehow. Had the Smiths family reached out to him?‘’It’s least I can do for you my dear.’’ He replies, his gaze drifting towards the hospital bed. His expression softens more with pity and he shook his head with a sigh. ‘’I can’t believe that Smiths family’s daughter could commit such cruelty against an innocent child.’’Indeed, I guessed right.The Smiths family definitely reached out to the Elder Cadel. Perhaps realizing that I wouldn’t soften my heart to their pleas, they must have decided involving someone I respect might change my stance towards their arrogant young miss. ‘’You must have been through a lot.’’ He looks at me in the familiar grandfatherly manner and holds my hands in silent support.However, I gently slip out my hand for the first

  • THE ALPHA'S REPLACEMENT MATE: UNWANTED LUNA HAS A SON   Blood Transfusion (3)

    ‘’......’’Did he say that just now?A bit stunned from his unexpected words, I observed Jared neatly slurping the pasta, his face unreadable as always.‘’Y-You...’’ I pause, carefully choosing my words. ‘’You ate what I cooked back then?’’I was very much surprised. Jared had always kept his distance from me.In the past, he hardly ate the food I cooked when he hardly stayed with me except the nights we spent together on bed. This was something I had known yet continued to cook his share out of expectations that he would come around for the sake of our connection.Though his share became my leftovers every time.And now, he’s telling me that my food was more delicious than this one?‘’...I did.’’ Jared pauses to answer, looking down at the pasta. ‘’One time, I was very hungry at midnight while working at the office, and the omegas were all asleep.’’ He then stares at me. ‘’I didn’t want to disturb anyone and remembered you always invited me to eat with you.’’‘’......’’‘Was I that o

  • THE ALPHA'S REPLACEMENT MATE: UNWANTED LUNA HAS A SON   Blood transfusion (2)

    Jared arrived at the hospital through the address I sent to him. It was already nighttime when I saw the clock on my screen, yet I could tell how fast he tried to get there from his disheveled appearance. Another familiar face also came along with Jared. It was the old pack doctor, Dr. Charles.Apparently, Dr. Charles was rather a well-known doctor in the human society and the doctor had no qualms about him joining. Either way, as long as Lucian was alive, safe and healthy from all complications, I did not care how many doctors treated him, as long as they were professionals.Without wasting time, Jared was arranged to do a blood transfusion. As that was going on, Logan’s mother arrived with the police officer later in the next morning. As soon as she saw me, she immediately broke down in tears and kept on apologizing for her carelessness with Lucian.Certainly, none of this would have happened if Lucian was not kidnapped in the first place, and if she was being more careful with him.

    My mind instantly blanked out at the scene of the truck slamming against the black van. Like a hollow space that I kept sinking and sinking further. I didn’t register how my son had been taken to the hospital. I didn’t register how I proved to them that Lucian was my son and he was apparently kidnapped. I didn’t register how I even got to the hospital in the first place. Perhaps my werewolf had taken over and took control of the situation.All I knew was that when I eventually got a hold of myself, I was pacing outside the emergency room, ER, waiting for any nurse or doctor to step out and give positive news.‘’Lena!’’‘’S-Steph...L-Luc....’’‘’Shh...’’ Stephanie rushes down the hospital hallway to hug my trembling body. ‘’It’s fine. Lucian will be fine. Nothing’s going to happen to him.’’ Logan silently offered his comfort by patting my shoulders.‘’B-But I-I found him first. I-I f-found h-him. If only I....’’‘’Shh, It’s alright, Lena.’’ Her arms tighten around me as I sobbed in her
