The 5-time Rejected Luna Queen

Chapter 9-1

"You’re sitting with me."

Immediately after Dexter said this, a maid who was standing a few steps away from the dining table ran towards a seat and pulled it out for me,

Dexter took his seat first and since the next seat that had been pulled out was close to him, I knew it was meant for me,

I walked up to where he was seated and took my seat next to him while Scarlett walked over to the Luna and took her seat next to her,

"You didn’t have to be so rude to your mother, Dexter!" The alpha king uttered in annoyance as it was evident in his eyes, but the only thing I heard from Dexter was a loud scoff as he grabbed his fork from the table and dug it into the spaghetti,

"She would never be my mother. He uttered calmly as he dropped the fork into his mouth after rolling some spaghetti, "I think it’s time she stops pretending like she cares about me or my well-being before I practically lose my mind."

What the hell was going on here? She wasn’t his mother? Then who was? Now that I was looking at her closely, there was no resemblance between them, not even a little bit,

"It’s okay, honey, he’s simply stressed out from all the pressure. I know how hard everything is on him, especially the burden that would fall on his shoulders once he becomes the next Alpha King. We just have to take it easy on him," she uttered, biting her lower lips and rolling the fork into the food,

I knew what this was,

She was fucking hurt with what Dexter had just said and I was right.

He was just a cold jerk without any emotions. Why the hell did he hate a woman who loved him like a son even though she wasn’t his real mother?

More than anything in my life, this was something that I had earnestly prayed for so much since I was a little girl,

"Let’s talk about her. She’s going to be part of our family tomorrow after the wedding and even bear the future heirs to the pack. I can’t wait for good news honey."

My eyes widened when I heard the last words,

"Future heirs?" I uttered in shock, and Luna Aurora chuckled, Yes, darling. That is, of course, the most important part of being the Luna Queen of the pack. I trust you and your mate would get the work done as fast as possible."

I coughed aloud, but she immediately grabbed a glass of water and handed it to me. Fuck! I had to breathe else I might as well just pass out right now.

Why the freaking hell was I not told of bearing a child for him in the contract? I cocked my head to face Dexter and saw the smirk on his face,

He was fucking enjoying the shocked expression on my face? Wasn’t he?

"Is anything the matter?" Luna questioned and I shook my head in negation,

"No, Luna. I understand that bearing a child is so important to the pack, but Dexter and I would love to take it slowly and..."

"Who says we’re going to take it slowly?" His question interjected me and I cocked my head at him unable to find another word to utter,

What the hell was wrong with him?

"We..."
