Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

169



Nelly forcefully maintained a smile on her face as she endured the company of Alpha Kilian and his incessant attempts to win her over. The Alpha’s glance shot daggers at her, urging her to accept his offer of dessert before leaving. Donna, eagerly following the Alpha’s command, scurried off to fetch the treats.

While Nelly feigned politeness, Fabian seized the opportunity to approach her, his intentions dripping with ulterior motives. “Hi, Ms. Jackson. Long time no see,” Fabian greeted, his voice oozing with false friendliness.

Nelly acknowledged him with a slight nod. “Long time no see,” she replied shortly, keeping her guard up against his advances.

As Fabian inquired about her recovery, Nelly responded curtly, “Quite well, actually.”

“Injuries are no joking matter, so you have to be more careful. Feel free to let me know if you ever need my help!” Fabian persisted, his words laced with insincerity.

Nelly simply nodded, not fully trusting his offer. “Thanks,” she said, her voice dripping with a hint of sarcasm.

Ben and Tony rolled their eyes at Fabian’s attempts to impress Nelly, clearly seeing through his facade. The young woman’s beauty and wealth were not lost on them, but they remained loyal to her, protective of her like true family.

Donna returned with the desserts, distributing them to each person, including Fabian, much to his surprise. Stammering in disbelief, he muttered, “I-I get one too?”

Donna’s response only added to Fabian’s infatuation with Nelly’s family. “You’ve worked hard looking after Mr. Handsome, so it’s only natural that you get a piece too!” Donna chirped, displaying an innocence and charm beyond her years.

Overwhelmed by emotions, Fabian struggled to find the right words. “T-Thank you, Little Marshmallow,” he mumbled, never expecting such kindness from a child.

“Don’t mention it!” Donna gleefully replied before skipping off towards Alpha Kilian, leaving Fabian in a daze.

Taking advantage of the moment, Fabian gestured for Nelly to sit on the couch. She obliged, but was immediately flanked by Tony and Ben, who stood guard with unwavering loyalty.

The dynamics within the group were evident. The boys remained closer to Nelly, while Donna gravitated towards Alpha Kilian, her adoration for him palpable.

Alpha Kilian, ever perceptive, noted this divide among his group. He observed how Tony and Ben, despite their usual maturity, reverted to childlike behavior around Nelly. And Nelly, always distant, softened in the presence of her children.

A gentle smile graced Alpha Kilian’s face as he watched Nelly, his eyes softening with affection. “Nelly’s pretty, isn’t she?” Donna suddenly asked, breaking the silence.

Turning to look at Donna, Alpha Kilian nodded, his smile widening. “Yeah, she is.”

Donna sighed in exasperation, finding it unbelievable that Nelly couldn’t see her own beauty. “It’s a shame she doesn’t realize that,” she lamented. “She actually thinks she looks plain in this outfit! Can you believe it?”

Chuckling, Alpha Kilian patted Donna’s head affectionately. “You sure know a lot, huh?”

Donna indulged in her dessert, then continued her line of questioning. “Do you like Nelly, Mr. Handsome?”

Alpha Kilian paused, considering his answer carefully. With complete honesty, he replied, “Yeah, I do.”

A giggle escaped Donna’s lips. “I knew it!” she exclaimed, her joy evident.

Alpha Kilian couldn’t bear to dampen her excitement with the truth. Instead, he chose to remain silent, wrestling with his own conflicting emotions.

Unbeknownst to him, Donna, standing on her tiptoes to reach his ear, whispered a secret. “Let me tell you a secret, Mr. Handsome.”

Curious, Alpha Kilian leaned down to listen. “What is it?”

“While we were on the way here, I asked Nelly if she’d date Mr. Alpha Zachary. Guess what? She said no!” Donna revealed, her voice filled with excitement.

Frozen in place, Alpha Kilian stared at Donna silently, processing her words. “Is this true, Donna?” he asked, his voice laden with anticipation.

Donna nodded eagerly. “It’s true! Nelly said it herself on the way here. She only sees Mr. Alpha Zachary as a friend, nothing more. If you like her, then you must work hard to win her over!”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Alpha Kilian’s gaze drifted back to Nelly, his heart pounding in his chest. Could it be true? Why didn’t she deny it when he questioned her before?

“Don’t worry, Mr. Handsome,” Donna continued, unaware of the turmoil in Alpha Kilian’s mind. “Nelly has tons of suitors, but for some reason, they all end up being her friends. She’s far too excellent for those ordinary guys; they can only befriend her at best.”

A chuckle escaped Alpha Kilian’s lips. “Nelly is indeed extraordinary,” he concurred, appreciating her true worth.

Donna’s eyes sparkled with understanding. “Oh, that makes sense! By the way, Mr. Handsome… Nelly may seem cold and aloof on the outside, but she’s really soft and easily moved. She doesn’t know how to get along with people because she hasn’t been in a relationship before. If you really like her, then you must cherish her and keep her safe from harm!”

Donna’s charisma mirrored Nelly’s, leaving Alpha Kilian in awe of the young girl’s wisdom. With newfound determination, he turned his gaze back to Nelly, uttering, “Yeah, I will. Don’t worry; I won’t let her down this time.”

In that moment, Nelly happened to glance in his direction. Their eyes locked briefly, an unspoken connection passing between them. Sensing the tension, Nelly deliberately cleared her throat, breaking the spell. “It’s getting late, Donna. We should head back now.” The words came out with a hint of unease, a front to shield herself from Alpha Kilian’s penetrating gaze.
