Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 77

*kkkkf\lex's POV kkk

I had not intended to blurt those words to her, they had just cout. | did not know what had promptedto

say it. Maybe it was seeing her again. Watching her move as gracefully and confident as she used to. Though she

was confident and graceful in her movement, there was this gentleness that could not be overlooked.

It was there. In her every step, her poises and stances. | had missed the way she talked and that face of hers. |

had no idea what | had been missing until now. I might had sworn to fight her for what she did to Seren, but that

had barely registered in my mind as soon as | saw her.

| found myself staring at her, waiting for her reaction. | was waiting for her response. She had changed, | could

see it, | needed no soothsayer to tellthat.

There was this powerful aura that she exhibited and the authority that oozed off of her in great waves. | could

only stare at her in respect and awe. It had barely been three weeks but | could see the changes. Everything that

had changed in her and around her.

"Is this ssort of joke, Alpha Robertson?" She crooked a displeased brow.

"I'm sorry, it's not joke." | quickly apologized. | was at her mercy. Without her, there would barely be anything left

of my pack. When | had said | missed her, | had not been lying but | really need her regardless.

The chances of her acceptingback was zilch, the way we had separated was not cordial, there had been this

coldness already existing between us. And after the incident with Seren, it had gone from worse to worst.

"Is this why you called me? Is this why you asked to seeprivately?" She questioned, her eyes were hardened.

"No, it's not. Believe, it was not my intention to say that." | tried to defend myself.

"Then why did you?" Her expression was stoic and unsmiling. She seemed to be really pissed.

"I don't know, it just cout. I'm really sorry."

"I do not think I can help you if you continue to play un-serious. | am busy, | have a pack to run." She pointed out

bluntly.

Fear took hold a bit, | could not afford losing her help. Iron Claw was the only hope | had when | chere. |

could not afford for leave here without the agreement of her helping me.

Noir was determined to ruin my pack and | would not let it happen, hence, | needed to be careful with my words

henceforth. Feelings aside, | needed to do what | had cto do in the first place.

"I'm truly sorry, forgive my manners. | would endeavor to girdle my tongue as we go on. Please, let's ignore what

| had just said like it never happened." | pleaded.

I had no choice but to plead, that was the only way out for me. | could not afford to annoy her, she was my

lifesaver at this point. Her pack was the only pack that could destroy Thunderpaw.

Her hard gaze was unrelenting. "I think we should make sthings clear here, Alpha Robertson. You and | have

nothing personal in common, whatever that used to exist was long gone. It has ended and has been dissolved

before the public."

She adjusted herself on her Alpha seat, before continuing. "You ctofor help, you are in my territory. In

my pack. In my mansion. You need to watch what you say to me. | have a legacy to uphold, as I'm sure you do

too."

[—

"I'm not done." She cutoff bluntly.

| nodded, encouraging her to go on. | was beginning to feel embarrassed, like she was doing all of this for show.

She was ostentatiously putting on a boastful demeanor, she wantedto see what she had becand what

she now had in her possession.

It madewonder how had I not known the person | had married. How had she managed to keep her identity

hidden from me? How had she even stayed three years in my abode, under my guidance and not known she was

the daughter of the most wealthiest Alpha? Who would had thought that quiet, gentle Erika was the heiress

apparent of such prestigious and strong pack.

Had Paula known and kept it from me? Obviously she had known else she would not have lied...or according to

how Gage had put it, lied by omission. She had simply not said it, just said she was going to see a friend who

needed her.

That friend had turned out to be Erika, my ex-mate and ex-wife. Now | was at her mercy, and this was a very

serious matter.

"As | was saying, we both have a legacy to uphold. You cto ask for help and | am yet to give a stand on that,

which of course, you're delaying. Or have you made up your mind, Alpha?" She stared pointedly at me.

"How can | delay? | cfor help and | am ready for the help." | told her.

Why would | delay when it was | who needed her? | did not leave my pack to this place only to ruin the

opportunity.

"Are you ready for the terms and conditions?" She inquired.

Terms and conditions. Those words sounded like a death trap, | had been praying for this not to cup but it

had still cup. Saying yes was not the problem, but what was the terms and conditions she wanted? Was it

something | could do? What if it was a condition | could not meet?

"Is there no other way around this?" | stared beseechingly.

"I'm afraid there isn't." Her response was crisp and cool.

Willing nerves away, | decided to give it a try. "What are these terms and conditions?"

"It's just one condition."

"Oh. Nit."

"If | save your pack and help you win this war, I'll get seventy percent of your

pack's mineral resources and yearly income."
