Chapter 24
MELISSA
The beeping sound of the EKG machine was all that filled Jeremy’s wardroom. I held onto Jeremy’s left hand, peering at my son who was deeply asler on his bed. If it wasn’t for the accident, by now I would be officially designated as Luna and no one would ever dream to challenge his the Alpha’s son.
The door quietly slid open, disrupting me from my world of depression. A part of me wished it was Roland who walked in but instead, it was Ro the housekeeper.
My gaze returned to my son while she closed the door behind her.
“Alpha Roland has returned,” she quietly said.
“Where did he go to?” I inquired.
“He didn’t tell me but I asked his driver. Alpha Roland went to a park in the
“A park?”
“It’s close to Jordan Hospitals, the same one you work in”
I turned to her with a

frown “Who did he meet?”
She hesitated for a moment. “Aubrey”
I laughed amusingly while pain bubbled in my chest.
“His son is in the hospital and his mate is just recovering from a scandal but he has the time to visit his ex–wife!
She remained stoic and for some reason, my pain stung more,
“What dad they tal
they talk about?”
“Unfortunately, I have no details about that but there’s something else that might interest you, she replied and the frown anchored on my face grew deeper. “Damien met both of them by chance and a brawd happened. I think our Alpha still has an interest in Aubrey and knowing him, he won’t Rest ull he has her.”
“If I didn’t know that I wouldn’t be calling you here!” My voice pitched on a harsh note. “You’re not doing your job very well, Rose. I asked you to watch Roland’s every move and give me the information I need but so far so good you’ve done nothing but feed me with crumba!”
“Was it crumbs when I informed you about the Alpha’s plan to carry out a DNA test on your son?”
“How dare you?!” I snarled, rewarding her with predatory looks but she didn’t falter under my pressure in the slightest.
“You do not need to remind me that Jeremy’s true paternity will always be a matter of secrecy between us. I simply ask that you accord me more respect. I’m the closest to the Alpha, you should trust me if you want to be Luna” She calmly explained all through and my teeth gritted in disgust. I hated her boldness more than anything but then again she was reliable and made a strong point to back that as well. It was better to keep her as a friend than to be a for
“Leave,” I ordered dismissively
“I’ll update you if there’s anything new,” she replied before heading out.
“Aubrey Aubrey Aubrey is she all you can think of, Roland!!” I blared to myself. I’m this close to becoming Luna of one of the powerful Packs and this woman is effortlessly proving to be a strong hurdle! And Roland! He is my mate yet even when the DNA result was before him, he wished otherwise. What could he have discussed with Aubrey? The longer I dwelled on that thought, the more it drove me crazy and restless!
The door slid open and this time it was Roland. Speak of the devil I didn’t even bother to waste any second staring at him, I simply ignored him and chose to focus on my son. He stood beside where I sat and didn’t utter a word for several minutes.
“How is he?” He finally found his tongue.
“Do you think you have the right to ask that question!” I retorted icily.
སྒྲ་སྟེ་ལྕ་།
“He is my son.” He sternly stated.
“The same one you believed to be a bastard. You wanted to kill him, remember! You didn’t give a damn if he died or not. And now you laying clalım like the perfect father that you are!” 1 glared at him but he kept his eyes glued to Jeremy.

Roland Who do you think you are! Just because you are Alpha doesn’t mean you can act as you please!”
wand?” His eyes wandered to me, reviewing me with nothing but sciness. Was this the same man who used to head over heels Where was that glimmer? Just what made Aubrey so special that she easily stole my man from me?
“If that’s what you want then you’re building castles in the air, my darling”
“Do you even feel remorse for your actions?”
“I do not and I never will. If the situation were to happen a million times I would still react the same way.”
Xhe lips parted in awe.
was hunt and angry. I have no excuse for what I did because that was the only way I could express myself. An apology! It won’t erase my actions why bother expressing some pointless words that hold no weight!”
My eyes watched in disbelief. Since when did he nurture this level of iciness and nonchalance?
“The best way to display my sincerity was punishing the guilty one who drove the wedge between us in the first place. He added.
Ce you think I would be full of praise for you for giving Freya the death sentence? What would people think of us when words spread about her execution” A ruthless Alpha with no respect for bonds 1 blared. “If anyone’s to be blamed here, it’s you. You allowed the wedge to be driven between us. Roland. If you had done so little as to trust me, we wouldn’t be here! I can’t forgive you”
you reject me then?” He retorted, his voice completely devoid of any emotion. My breaths hung in my throat for a second in shock.
“How could you even say that so casually! Have you forgotten the promise you made to Jeremy and me? You said you would be there for us at all times. You would never leave us, where is that energy now!”
stall stand by my word only if you want our relationship to keep working. So what do you say, Melissa, forgive the past, and let’s move on.”
My palms curled into fists and my breath gradually became heavier to draw. Yet neither of us refused to leave each other’s gaze.
The door suddenly opened and a guard rushed in
“Alpha Roland Beta Simon has resigned from his position and that’s not all.”
Roland and 1 donned concerned looks.
Alpha Stephen of Silver Crescent Pack is visiting tomorrow and he told me to pass a message to you“The guard added.
“What is it” 1 queried.
“Get ready for war”
