Chapter 15
ROLAND
“Alpha Roland you didn’t have to come here tonight. You already have a lot on your plate, your wedding is in two days and the preparations must be quite tasking.” Alpha Stephen chattered with me in the grand hall of Silver Crescent Park but I waved him off casually.
“It would be illegal of me to miss the birthday party of my longtime friend. Congratulations, Alpha Stephen, I responded while he laughed with a glass of champagne dangling in between his right fingers
“And I must say, you look charming tonight, Miss Melissa, or should I say, Luna Melissa” the old man joked and the three of us laughed.
“I wonder though, why you had to separate from Aubrey. She was equally an outstanding woman,” he added and I felt Melissa’s body stiffen brüde me, her smile had lost its essence as well. Since our argument that night, our dynamic had taken a huge hit, so I was looking forward to attending this party in hopes that we could find our sparkle back.
“Aubrey was a mistake I regret to this day but I’m glad I found my roots back to where I truly belong.” I beamed at her, tapping her intertwined arm gently. “My mate. Melissa. I will always cherish her till the end of my time.“
even yearn for her even
Melissa’s smile returned and her eyes sparkled with joy yet I couldn’t feel any spark from our little moment, my wolf didn’t ev though she was my mate, unlike Aubrey.
“I’m happy for you both, congratulations,” Alpha Stephen beamed.
“Thank you. Alpha Stephen,” she responded.
“Roland is lucky, while he has an endless pool of stunning women surrounding him there’s my son who still hasn’t brought a woman home after all these years.” he said.
“Perhaps you should send him over to our Pack for a vacation. I’m pretty sure our Pack has the ladies that would easily swoon his heart,” she remarked and we all laughed.
“Speaking of which, I still haven’t met your son after all these years.” I remarked.
“Indeed, that boy has chosen to base his life in the human world. At this rate. I fear he might not want to be the next Alpha but don’t worry. Tonight is the day you will meet him, he should be arriving here any moment.”
“Well, I’m looking forward to meeting him.” I grinned and at the same time, the giant twin doors gradually opened and we all turned in the direction, curious to see who was the guest late to the party.
“What?!” the word silently escaped my lips in shock seeing Damien and Aubrey walk in with their arms intertwined with each other. Both of them effortlessly stole the attention of everyone in the ballroom. Shock spiraled like a wild wave down my spine, rage sparked in me like a lighter’s first ignition and it easily festered into brimstone fire. I craved nothing more than to rip Damien’s arm holding to my ex–wife’s arm tenderly as if he
owned her.
“Ah! There he is, the man of the night, my son” Alpha Stephen muttered beside me causing Melissa and I to glance at the man with horror–painted faces. Damien is the son of one of the strongest Packs in our world? How Why the hell was Aubrey so damn hucky?!
“Come with me, Alpha Roland,” the old man beckoned, Melissa and I glanced at each other with uncertainty but then we threaded behind him regardless
The prodigal son finally returns home!” Alpha Stephen blared and murmurs instantly waved across the guest’s lips and they all had one language, admiration for both of them. At the same time, Damien and Aubrey’s eyes locked with us. Shock graced their faces but it only lasted for a moment as they soon channeled their focus to Alpha Stephen.
|_ “Dad_” Damien calmly toned with a gentle smile. “I told you to stop calling me that.”
Alpha Stephen laughed, “Well what can I say, you deserted your old man after all these years?” He spread his arms wide for a hug and Damien ragerly sunk into his embrace for a brief moment.
“And who d
do we have here Alpha Stephen frowned at Aubrey whose smile grew even brighter.
“Alphia Stephen,” she greeted courteously.
“Aubrey Jordan.“the old man muttered in a tone that signaled his amusement.
“Do you know her?” D
Damien sported a quizzical look and Alpha Stephen turned to us.
“Isn’t Aubrey your ex–wifer
My teeth gritted, why did I suddenly feel suffocated locking eyes with Aubrey again? She retained her graceful smile bun Damien on the other hand did a terrible job hiding his irritation for me. What exactly was going on between the two of them? This party was going beautifully well until these

two arrived but that was the least of my worry. The fact that Aubrey came with Damien to his father’s birthday party was the fuel sourcing my rage. Have they grown that close in their relationship? Did she really like this idiot? Either way, whatever relationship these two have with each other. I was hellbent on destroying it. He doesn’t deserve my ex–wife!
“Indeed,” I finally replied with a fake smile. Alpha Stephen frowned. “But I have to say this. Alpha Stephen, I’m worried for the future of your Pack. Your son is going to be Alpha one day, he shouldn’t be seen moving around with someone like her.”
The Alpha’s frown deepened
“Aubrey is infamous in our Pack for her bad luck,” I said and her smile vanished immediately, exactly what I wanted. “She might have flawless beauty but she is nothing but a bottom barrel of damnation. She almost ruined mine and my Pack’s reputation. Don’t be misled by her gentleness, she is a master manipulator who used her father’s influence to sign a marriage contract with me just so she could become Luna
And after she became Luna isn’t she expected to at least fulfill her duties and responsibilities by bearing me an heir? But it turns out she is nothing but an empty basket. A barren woman” I scoffed while pain festered in her eyes. “And now she’s with your son, her next prey. I mean, which lady wouldn’t want to be Luna of Silver Crescent Pack-
Aubrey inched closer to me with so much rage oozing off her, in a twinkle of an eye, she slapped the living daylights out of me and I almost lost my stance in the process. The crowd burst into an audible round of gossip and my cheek stung as if a thousand needles had just pierced through them. What just happened? Did I just get slapped in the presence of such high–profile people!
