Semua Bab THE ALPHA'S REPLACEMENT MATE: UNWANTED LUNA HAS A SON: Bab 71 - Bab 80

Alpha Rudolf.The Alpha of the Eastern moon pack.Like the other Alphas, he has a good reputation in the werewolf society.However, that doesn’t seem to case right here, especially how he slyly taunted Jared with a mouthful of jab.At my words, Alpha Rudolf’s eyebrows lift with a quick spark of surprise in his eyes momentarily.‘’The pleasure’s mine, Miss Monroe.’’ He grins with a bit of an interest. ‘’You’re not like the rumors suggested if I may say so myself.’’‘...I can say the same about you, Alpha Rudolf.’ I return in my mind, but with a silent smile on the outside.I assumed Alphas generally were of few words and hard to read, just like Jared. However, this trip has destroyed my narrow assumption.Alpha Rudolf was not like Jared. He was the exact opposite. Saying exactly what’s on his mind without filter.‘’Good. Good.’’ He assesses me. ‘’Not shaking in front of an Alpha, you’re much better than that former Luna of your pack.’’Taken back, I closely observe the Alpha’s smiling

‘’Yes I am, Alpha Lawson.’’ I reply, not shying away from the scrutinizing gazes. I was prepared to be called out at some point since I was invited to this joint dinner.‘’Hm.’’ Alpha Lawson stares, and I hold his judging gaze, not backing down even for a moment. Jared was representing the Northern moon pack, but I was representing Lucian.His future as an Alpha was permanent and as his mother, I should never come out as a weak person.‘’I see Gareth spoke the truth.’’ He breaks the tensed silence and lowers his gaze to his plate. ‘’At least, you are not embarrassing the name of your pack unlike your Alpha and his choice of Luna.’’What?On the side of Alpha Lawson, Alpha Rudolf laughs. ‘’I always say the truth, don’t I?’’‘’You talk too much for an Alpha, Gareth.’’‘’Well, you are quite stiff for an Alpha, Osric.’’‘......’ I observe the two Alphas, one looking strict with a face like stone, and the other looking free with a face full of smiles.‘It seems Sienna was really hated.’ I

‘’You seem to like books a lot, Miss Monroe.’’ The librarian remarks lightly, dropping off a stack of books on the table. I requested for them earlier as I entered the library.‘’Yes, I do like them a lot, and thank you for bringing these.’’ I respond to her with a light smile.‘’Huh...You are quite different from the other Lunas.’’ She says freely, and then her eyes grow wide perhaps noting how thoughtless her words sounded. After all, I am a Luna and yet, not a Luna at the same time.‘’Please forgive my impolite words.’’ She quickly apologizes, looking flustered. ‘’I just didn’t expect you to come here again. Only Alphas and Elders sometimes stop by, but not the Lunas. Even if they did, they don’t spend as much time as you did.’’‘’It’s alright, I understand.’’ I merely smile, not taking her words to heart. Though I was confused, what she meant by other Lunas.Everyone or every Luna has at least read a book, right?‘’Thank you!’’ She gives a very low bow, which I didn’t expect from

Now, I heard that Elder Cadel’s mate is human, and had abandoned Alaric because of the Elder.‘He’s too calm.’ I notice how casual Alaric had revealed such sensitive information about this family. It’s surprising that he told me such. Again someone he barely knows.Isn’t he afraid I would share this information to others?‘’It’s nothing to be surprised about, Selena.’’ He says almost as if reading my thoughts. ‘’Everyone in the elder council knows about it. I grew up hearing that my mother abandoned my father, her mate for a human, another man. I guess father must have done something since you’re hearing about her for the first time.’’I remain silent, not knowing how to react or even console him.If Alaric grew up hearing his mother had abandoned for another who was not her mate from others, his childhood must not have been all rainbows and sunshine.He also seems to have come to fact that his mother had abandoned him to be this calm and even share with another.Should I console some

The Lunas gathering ends an hour later. Fortunately, I wasn’t the focus of the attention after the Alaric situation. Luna Lawson and Luna Douglas chatted mostly while Luna Rudolf and I remarked one or two words from the side.When the gathering was over, I didn’t leave immediately or else I would have literally exposed my true feelings. I had to remain behind and walk in the same pace as the other Lunas with Luna Lawson seeing us off. Her home was the venue and the Luna gathering was held in her lounge.From its size, I observed that her home appeared quite bigger than Jared’s. I could be wrong since I wasn’t given a tour.Luna Douglas was the first to be dropped off since her home wasn’t that far from Luna Lawson. I wonder how the two Lunas relate as neighbors with their subtle hostile relationship.Luna Rudolf was the next and her home was on the same path to Jared’s. On our way, she didn’t say much other than giving some advice and that was it. We bid our goodbyes and I go on my wa
