Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

“I know not what truly transpired. On that fateful day, as was my habit, I ventured to meet Alpha Wade for a game of chess. Nelly’s kin, having recently returned to the village, had chosen to stay indefinitely, desiring to spend more time with their daughter. You and Nelly ventured outside to engage in play, but for reasons unknown, Nelly suddenly hastened home unaccompanied and bore witness to her parents’ demise. A fire engulfed their abode, and both the neighbors and Nelly claim that you, in fact, rescued her. Alas, as you sought your own liberation, a cabinet fell, entrapping the both of you. ‘Twas a near loss in the conflagration! Thankfully, the nearby residents arrived and spared you from tragedy. They conveyed you both to the infirmary, but upon regaining consciousness, your memory was naught but a void…”

“And what of Nelly?” inquired Alpha Kilian with a troubled countenance. “She did not succumb to amnesia, yet since that dire event, she has uttered not a single word…” Alpha King Larry recounted the tale with a sorrowful remembrance. Alpha Kilian listened intently, furrowing his brow, for he had no recollection of the incident, as if it were a tale belonging to another.

Nevertheless, he could envision the harrowing sight that young Nelly beheld, witnessing her progenitors’ demise and bearing deep psychological scars.

His heart ached for her, and in that moment, he silently vowed to safeguard her from harm henceforth. “You suffered amnesia and injuries, thus I conveyed you to the Moonwalk pack for recuperation,” Alpha Kilian mused sadly. Alpha Wade, bereft of both son and daughter-in-law, was consumed by devastation.

Learning of Nelly’s muteness post-tragedy only added to the depths of his despair.

Thank the stars she regained her speech a year later. I shudder to contemplate Alpha Wade’s anguish had she not…” With a resigned sigh, Alpha King Larry recollected the melancholic day.

He empathized deeply with Alpha Wade, for he had endured a similar agony of losing a son.

Though more than two decades had passed, Alpha King Larry’s heart remained heavy when he revisited those sorrow-laden memories.

Alpha Kilian’s eyes dulled as he queried, “Who perpetrated this heinous act? And why?” Alpha King Larry shook his head and responded, “No answers have we, my lad.

The constables scrutinized any surveillance footage they could procure, yet helpful leads eluded them.

In fairness, our realm was not as developed in those times, with scant surveillance cameras about.

After months of investigation, the authorities failed to unmask a suspect, transforming it into yet another unsolved cold case.” Alpha Kilian pressed his lips together, descending into deep contemplation. Anxious and worried, Alpha King Larry implored, “Do refrain from mentioning this to Alpha Wade and Nelly, lest it wretches their souls afresh.” “Fear not, I am not so callous!” reassured Alpha Kilian, before inquiring, “So Alpha Jackson relinquished pursuit and let it fade into oblivion?” “What other recourse had he? No parent would agree to let their child’s murderer roam free, but his chief concern was Nelly, his lone remaining kin.

She was the reason for his continued existence, and his worry for her consumed him.

Were you in his shoes, I suspect your reactions might be even more extreme,” remarked Alpha King Larry. Though Alpha Wade had never revealed his inner torment, Alpha King Larry understood him well enough to comprehend his anguish. Alpha Kilian now understood why Alpha Wade harbored such animosity towards him.

Were he in Alpha Wade’s position, his reactions may be equally, if not more, severe. Suddenly, a thought struck him, prompting the query, “Oh, Grandfather! What did Nelly’s parents do for a living?” Alpha King Larry struggled to recall, uncertainty marring his response.

“I cannot say with certainty.

Her father had some involvement with computers, but her mother…

Hmm…

Alpha Wade mentioned it to me once, yet it escapes me now.

Nelly’s parents were often absent, leaving us with little opportunity for interaction, thus I seldom inquired about their lives.” “Computers, you say?” piqued Alpha Kilian’s curiosity. “Indeed.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Such a field was sparse at the time, hence why it left an impression upon me,” elucidated Alpha King Larry. “Are you aware of his area of specialization?” probed Alpha Kilian. Alpha King Larry shook his head, questioning, “Why do you pry into such matters?” Alpha Kilian evaded and replied, “Oh, merely a flicker of curiosity.” A peculiar glint gleamed within Alpha King Larry’s eyes, casting suspicion upon Alpha Kilian. “Pray tell me this does not involve my person,” he speculated.

Bingo! Alpha King Larry nodded and disclosed, “Nelly, traumatized and silenced, refrained from uttering even a single word for an entire year thereafter.

As a last resort, Alpha Wade sought aid and guidance from the Moonwalk pack.

Alas, none of the healers could fathom the cause.

One day, I brought you to visit her, and at the sight of you, she spoke!”

“And what did she say?”

“She called your name – Alpha Kilian…” A sudden palpitation shook Alpha Kilian upon hearing this revelation. “Sadly, by then, your interest in being in Nelly’s presence had waned, and you responded coldly.

Not long after, Alpha Wade brought her back to the village, and your paths never crossed until you reached the age of union.

Thus, I arranged your nuptials and insisted on their fulfillment, despite your objections.

It was you who desired to wed her in your youth, only to change your disposition abruptly.

You lack regard for your promises, yet I am a man of honor.

To lament over your troubles and lay blame upon me is beyond audacious!” raged Alpha King Larry.

“But you never enlightened me to this!” protested Alpha Kilian. “Would it have made any difference had I informed you? You would have disregarded my words as an attempt to coerce you into compliance! Moreover, it is the tragic history of the Jackson lineage, thus it seemed unfitting to disseminate the tale,” reasoned Alpha King Larry. Alpha Kilian blinked guiltily, for he likely would have reacted precisely as Alpha King Larry had predicted. However, another matter piqued his curiosity.

“So, did Nelly willingly accept my proposal then?” he inquired. “Did you anticipate Alpha Wade holding a blade to her throat, compelling her into a union? He acceded reluctantly due to our friendship and your status as Nelly’s rescuer.

Otherwise, your odds would have been infinitesimal!” declared Alpha King Larry. Though Alpha Kilian had no recollection of the past, he surmised that Nelly ventured into marriage of her own accord. It struck him then that Nelly had never broached the subject, thus she may have wed him out of gratitude for saving her life during their youth, or perhaps for other motivations. A solemnity descended upon Alpha Kilian as he berated himself for his earlier callousness towards poor Nelly, who had known such profound suffering.
