Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

48 A Picturesque Couple

It was Friday morning, and Annalynne stood in the foyer, ready to go back to the Silent Walkers Pack.

She was holding her brother’s hand anxiously as the latter squeezed back at her hand to calm her down.

“It will be fine. Go back, Anna.”

Annalynne whispered, “Lulu, I am so sorry...”

She messed up. It was all her fault.

“It’s not,” Lucien said gently.

If he could send Annalynne back safely, all his efforts were worth it.

Annalynne kept glancing back at her brother as she descended the staircase and got into the car. She could not take her eyes off her brother even as the car was leaving.

Lucien stood at the top of the staircase, watching the car that took Annalynne depart from the Night Prowler Pack House. For the first time in two weeks, he was able to breathe out in relief.

.....

The first person that Lucien informed about his decision to marry Kinnon Youngshaper was his own sister, who broke down in tears as soon as she heard it.

“Anna, I am sorry,” Lucien said while kissing his trembling sister on top of her head. “I know that you like him, but there is no other way.”

Annalynne shook her head fervently. “Lulu, that’s not it. He already rejected me and I already came to terms with the rejection. But you... Don’t you still love Ronan Silverback...?”

Annalynne knew her brother enough to know that Lucien would not have slept with Ronan if he had no feelings for the latter. If Anna had not messed up, Lucien surely hoped to get back with Ronan eventually.

A sad smile appeared on Lucien’s face. He caressed Anna’s long hair lovingly.

“We are fated to part. Don’t feel bad about it.”

“Lulu...”

Anna did not see the whole picture from Lucien’s point of view.

Even if he did not end up marrying Kinnon Youngshaper, he still could never be together with Ronan Silverback. Ronan Silverback was supposed to walk a fixed path in life. The Alpha’s path in life. Sooner or later, he would grow up and do what was demanded of him. That was for the best.

The first person who Kinnon Youngshaper told about the upcoming wedding was his son, the three-year-old Ralph Youngshaper. The father’s exact words were, “Dad and Lucien are getting married. Lucien is going to stay with us forever. He will help me to take care of you.”

Ralph was too young to understand what “getting married” meant. He only knew that Lucien was going to be there for him forever, and if that was not the greatest news ever, then nothing was.

After seeing his sister off, Lucien went to see Kinnon in his bedroom.

Kinnon was leaning against the headboard, reading some documents while running his hand across his pet Persian Cat. When Lucien approached the bed, he extended his hand and pulled Lucien close by his waist.

“Is Anna gone?”

“Yes. How are you feeling today?”

“Good,” Kinnon answered. “Come closer.”

Lucien climbed into the bed and Kinnon pulled him to sit on his lap. When the Alpha pushed the hair at his neck aside, Lucien trembled slightly.

“Hmmm,” Kinnon observed what remained from Ronan’s bite mark on Lucien’s nape.

“It is healing well.”

“Yeah.”

“Meowwrrr...!!!”

With one swift movement, Kinnon had Lucien pinned on top of the bed. The poor Persian Cat jumped down from the bed and hissed at his owner in fury. Unfortunately, Kinnon Youngshaper was too busy to pay him any attention.

Sprawled on his bed, Lucien looked more than breathtaking. Kinnon licked his lips in excitement. He could not wait to sink his fangs into the man beneath him and make him his.

Kinnon placed his hand on top of Lucien’s beating heart and slowly ran it down the curves of his body. When he tugged at Lucien’s pants, the latter grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

“You are still hurt,” Lucien reasoned. “There is plenty of time to do that.”

“I don’t want to wait,” Kinnon said.

He lowered himself on top of Lucien and sucked at the side of his neck. Lucien’s alluring scent invaded his nose and robbed him of his senses.

Lucien tried to relax, but his body tensed up instead. He was not ready to be intimate with anyone. He knew that, but he also did not want to deny Kinnon the pleasure.

“Lucien...”

Kinnon slipped a hand under Lucien’s shirt and traveled up his back. His other hand sneakily went inside his pants and kneaded the twin mounds deftly.

Heavy breathing and ambiguous sounds filled the bedroom as the two men on the bed gently rolled on top of each other, the sweet scent of their pheromones mixing and entangling intimately.

“DADDY!!!”

Kinnon and Lucien separated almost immediately, not unlike a married couple that had been caught red-handed by their toddler.

The door opened and the pata pata sound of Ralph’s footsteps was heard.

The little boy looked up and saw his father and Lucien on the bed. Lucien was a little red in the face while Kinnon struggled hard to wipe the scowl off his face.

“Oh, Mommy is here too!” he gleefully remarked.

Lucien’s mouth dropped open.

Kinnon’s scowl turned into a frown.

“Ralphy, who told you to call Lucien ‘Mommy’?”

“Well...”

Ralph extended his hands upward at his father. Kinnon complied and pulled the little boy into the bed and held him in his arms.

“The big sisters at the playground said that daddies and mommies are married. Didn’t Daddy tell Ralphy last time that you are going to get married to Uncle Orange? Then Uncle Orange is now Ralphy’s Mommy!”

“...”

“Right? Right???”

Ralph attacked the two adults with his sparkling eyes.

Kinnon did not want to correct him. Lucien did not know how.

Ralph enjoyed Lucien’s presence very much. Now that Lucien was going to become his mommy, Ralph felt entitled to 90% if not 100% of Lucien’s time. Although Kinnon was not too happy about not having enough private time with Lucien, his heart softened upon seeing Lucien and Ralph spend time together.

Lucien looked good with children, he thought. When he held Ralph in his arms, it almost gave an illusion that Ralph was the child they gave birth to.

The days that followed were peaceful and uneventful. Kinnon was recovering well, and the couple made plans to go to the Werewolf Council’s Headquarters to announce their plan to get married.

One day before they made the trip to North Ridge Forest, a guest from the Infinite Eclipse Pack came to pay Lucien a visit.
