Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 221 - チャプター 230

(Audrey's POV)"So fast? When did you come to Central Territory?" I asked, surprised by Nathan's call. It wasn't like him to appear in Central Territory without mentioning it first."Afternoon," Nathan replied simply. I could hear the smile in his voice. "Are you planning to eat out or at your territory den? Should I bring anything?"I glanced at Leo, who was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, still engrossed in his territory puzzle."Wait a moment," I told Nathan, covering the phone with my hand. "Leo, my friend Nathan is coming over in twenty minutes. Would you like to go out for dinner or should we eat here?"Leo looked up, his golden eyes thoughtful. "Can you cook venison, Luna Aunt? Uncle Florian says your venison is the best!"I felt a small flutter in my chest at the idea that Florian had spoken about my cooking. "I could, but I'd need to go get some fresh meat first."Leo seemed to consider this for a moment, then his expression changed. "Actually, I think we should ord

(Audrey's POV)"Florian don't unreasonable," I said through gritted teeth, keeping my voice low so Leo wouldn't hear the tension in it.His fingers remained locked around my wrist, his golden eyes challenging me to defy him. I leaned closer, my voice barely above a whisper."Nathan helped both of us during our time at the Inter-Pack Academy. He's been my support for the past two years while you were..." I hesitated, not wanting to mention his supposed death. "While you were gone."Florian's expression didn't change. If anything, his grip tightened slightly."I may not be able to repay him emotionally the way he might want," I continued, "but I should at least remember his kindness. He came all this way to bring Nova specifically for me."Florian's eyes darted to the wolf-dog hybrid sitting alertly by my side, but his resolve didn't waver. "Stay," he commanded again.Nathan, ever perceptive, had been watching our exchange. His eyes softened as he looked at me."It's fine, Audrey

(Florian's POV)"Yes," Cassandra confirmed, her voice sharp with excitement through the pack comm-link. "My acquaintance has met Alpha Luna Riverwind twice at territorial gatherings in the past moon cycle."I adjusted my position in the wheeled healing chair, ignoring the dull ache in my leg. "And?""She managed to connect with Luna Riverwind on the pack comm-link," Cassandra continued. "Apparently, Luna Riverwind posted something interesting on her pack social feed last moon cycle."My interest piqued immediately. "What did she post?"Cassandra made a frustrated sound. "That's the thing. Her posts have been visible only to close pack connections for the past six moon cycles.""Then how did your acquaintance see it?" I demanded, my patience wearing thin."She didn't see the exact content," Cassandra explained. "But from what others have mentioned, it was about receiving a 'gift from the Moon Goddess' or something similarly dramatic."I drummed my fingers against the arm of my w

(Audrey's POV)The luxury territory vehicle glided through Central Territory's busy streets. The Beta driver navigated the full-moon traffic with practiced ease, taking smooth turns that barely disturbed the silence between Arthur and me in the backseat.I kept my gaze fixed on the passing territory buildings, deliberately avoiding Arthur's occasional glances. The quiet between us felt heavy yet oddly comfortable, a stark contrast to our past interactions filled with arguments and unspoken grievances.I could feel Arthur's eyes on me every few minutes, studying my profile in the dim light. Still, neither of us seemed eager to break the fragile peace. For once, I welcomed the silence - it gave me time to prepare for the gathering ahead without the exhaustion that always followed our conversations.The streetlights cast rhythmic patterns across our laps as we drove deeper into the heart of Central Territory. Pack members hurried along the sidewalks, many dressed in formal attire for

(Audrey's POV)I was deep in conversation with Luna Yvette Riverwind when Arthur Moonstone was pulled away by a well-known pack Alpha to discuss territory alliance matters. I couldn't help but feel relieved at his departure. Our earlier conversation in the car had been emotionally draining, and I welcomed the brief respite from his intense presence."Your healing formulation technique is absolutely revolutionary," Yvette was saying, her elegant hands gesturing enthusiastically. "The way you blend traditional pack herbs with those rare moonstone extracts—brilliant!"I smiled, genuinely appreciating her enthusiasm. "Thank you, Luna. I learned much from Master Elara, but I've been trying to develop my own style."A Beta server approached us, carrying a tray with a single glass of herbal tea. The aroma was pleasant—chamomile with hints of wolfsbane and juniper berry, traditional calming elements in werewolf beverages."For you, ma'am," he said, extending the tray toward me."Thank yo
