Bastard!
Who’s pup is that?
Suddenly, Henry’r hateful words toward my pup before flashed one after another in my mind. I narrowed my eyes, observing his every action and wondering what he wanted now.
Henry made it evident before that he really believe my pup was either Jackson’s or Albert’s. He even offered of sending my pup away and adopting him to who knows who, which was utterly ridiculous!
But looking from his perspective, I couldn't fully blame him either. In fact, a small part of me was happy to see how loyal and caring he was to Kylian.
Though Kylian was unfortunate with his parents, he sure won a lottery for having a Beta and a friend like Henry.
Staring at Henry, I found that unlike before, he wasn’t as aggressive and pushy as he was. In fact, he was just standing there and even a bit hesitant as he ensure that he’s making no offense.
“Should we tell him the truth now?” Trisha resurfaced in my mind and thoughtfully asked.
Taking a sip of my drink, I crossed my legs. “And why’s that?”
“Well…” Laced with guilt, she continued, “He looked so worried. If he learns who the real father of your pup is, then he’ll be more at ease and rational. He’ll also stop muttering ridiculous ideas as sending our pup for adoption.”
I silently laughed especially at her last remark, “Geez! Henry thinks he’s really smart, huh?”
Hearing her said that, I could somehow imagine her rolling her eyes.
I sighed, feeling slightly helpless because I understand what Trisha meant. “I can’t. I promised Jackson to keep my identity secret for the time being. Besides, I want to surprise Kylian. I can’t tell anyone about my pup… Not even to Henry. At least, not yet.”
Biting the side of my cheek, I looked away shyly from Herny, uncross my legs, and looked away momentarily. I really don’t know how I should explain things to Henry in a way that I wouldn’t disclose anything… But how?
I stood up and tried to say something, but no words were coming out from my mouth.
Almost on the brink of giving up, Henry spoke the words that totally surprised me, especially it coming from his moth. “You can handle this matter by yourself, right, Luna Della?”
Stunned, I looked back at him so fast that I was surprise I didn’t had a whiplash.
This time, my heart thumped in joy as I realized how Henry chose to fully put his trust on me.
Staring at him, I could only silently get excite to see his reaction when the truth comes. He and Kylian would surely be dumbfounded.
Damn! This made me even more excited about the banquet!
With genuine smile on my lips, I stood up to face him properly. “You can completely trust me. I’ll live up to you and to Kylian’s expectations.
He nodded. “If you need any help, just ask and I’ll be at your disposal.”
Today sure was full of surprises. Never in my dream did I thought that Henry would not only trust me, but also be loyal to me. Probably not as much as he give to Kylian, but that’s already far from what I could expect from him.
“Of course, Beta Henry.”
With one last final bow of respect, he bid his farewell and went out, closing the door behind him.
Once he was gone, my eyes lingered on the door for a short while, still feeling a bit in disbelief.
“He really left just like that…” Trisha uttered the words I was too speechless to say.
After a while, we both let out a laugh.
“Is that really the man who kept pestering you like some kind of villain, almost becoming like Margot and Natasha?” Trisha added.
“Don’t say that. He’s different from them. He’s just really loyal to Kylian and the pack. As long as it’s for the good of the both, he’ll accept it.”
Leaning back on my chair, I let out a joyful smile, eyes almost filling with mist of tears.
The past few days, I couldn’t help but feel like I’m on clouds. It’s not only Henry. But more and more members of the pack had began to accept my status as their Luna with all their hearts.
The sneers and disgust they threw behind my back were slowly fading, bringing warm in my heart that had turned cold before.
Their bows of respect and calm words when I spoke to them truly made me feel warm and happy. For so many years, I’ve been disregarded and bullied like a piece of trash worth of being nowhere but the trash bin – so much that I had long forgotten what it was like to be respected.
Finally, after a long time, I felt whole and a person again.
It was a whole lot better than before.
“You seduced my son with that filthy pretty face of yours! Flora is right, you’re a sluty bitch who have nothing but her face to lure men and make them at your disposal!”
Suddenly, I remembered Natasha’s words – of how Flora was badmouthing me to Kylian’s family. So, that’s how they thought of me.
Were they provoked by Flora all that time? If Flora didn’t came to the picture, would we had been able to live in piece?
Now, thinking about it, when I first married Kylian, Margot and Natasha were never that aggressive.
Yes, they sure didn’t like me for my status and looked down on me, but they never took great lengths of efforts to target me, much less kill me.
All those gruesome and unlawful actions they took only started when Flora appeared in out lives.
Fuck! I think Flora really did some manipulation! What a scheming trick!
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down upon feeling the drastic increase of my heartbeat. “Calm down, Della. Flora’s gone now… Out of this pack, and out of your life. Everything will be fine,” I assured myself while tapping my chest.
Seconds went by to minutes and hours, and before I knew it, several days had already passed by.
For the past few days, Kylian had taken good care of me. To ensure my comfort, thought Natasha and Margot were both free now, he banned them from going to his residence where we life.
All in all, my life had been peaceful and happy with the comfort of being with the man I love.
I looked at the ceiling of our room, waiting for sleepiness take over my body. Tomorrow everything would unfold.
I couldn’t wait to see him shock expression once he learned that the weak omega he always known was actually the powerful Princess many looed up to.
