Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

That evening, the atmosphere was eerily calm and tranquil, like the calm before a storm. The family of five appeared to have been living in harmony for an eternity, their joyous expressions masking any traces of the turmoil they had recently faced. The two storms that had ravaged their lives seemed insignificant, as if they were mere flecks of dust in the wind.

Alpha Kilian, the leader of the pack, felt a sense of relief in this momentary peace. After the meal, as the children silently retreated to their respective rooms, Alpha Kilian and Nelly, his loyal companion, remained in the living room, the flickering flames of the fireplace casting an ominous glow.

Alpha Kilian attended to the remains of the meal, hastily clearing the dinner table. When he finished and raised his gaze, he found Nelly huddled on the couch, lost in her thoughts, her delicate fingers wrapped tightly around a glass of crimson wine. Though she remained silent, her eyes held a multitude of emotions, betraying the chaos that swirled within her.

Nelly, who had indulged in the drink a little too much that night, appeared composed, yet her vacant stare revealed her inner turmoil. Sensing her unease, Alpha Kilian approached her, taking a seat beside her on the couch. His voice, laced with concern, broke the silence, “What troubles you, my dear? Do you seek solace in the sweet embrace of intoxication tonight?”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Nelly glanced at the wine in her grasp, finding solace in its deceptive warmth. A hollow laugh escaped her lips as she replied, “No amount of wine can bring the oblivion I seek tonight.”

Alpha Kilian arched an eyebrow at her defiant response, raising his glass to his lips and taking a measured sip. His piercing gaze fixed upon her, he inquired, “Has something troubled your mind, my love?”

Knowing that humans were prone to irrational emotions and impulsive actions, especially in the dead of night, Nelly narrowed her eyes and studied him intently. After a momentary pause, she decided against revealing her deepest thoughts.

Looking away, Nelly shook her head lightly. “No, it’s nothing.”

Alpha Kilian poured himself another glass of wine, studying her closely. The gleam in his eyes revealed his knowledge that she was not being entirely truthful. “You, my dear, possess a poor poker face. I can always discern when you’re hiding something, as you avoid meeting my gaze.”

Nelly’s facade faltered for a brief moment, her forced laughter replaced by a pensive silence. Alpha Kilian pressed further, his tone laced with curiosity, “Tell me, my love. What plagues your mind tonight?”

Nelly rose from the couch, padding barefoot towards the balcony. Alpha Kilian matched her stride, clutching his glass firmly in his hand. The wind tousled Nelly’s hair, lending an air of mystery to her contemplative state.

Resting her arm against the balcony railing, Nelly gazed down at the city lights twinkling below. Suddenly, she posed an existential question to Alpha Kilian, her voice laced with earnestness, “Alpha Kilian, what do you believe is the true path of existence?”

Alpha Kilian’s eyes narrowed, perplexed by the philosophical inquiry coming from her. Adhering to the ancient lore of their kind, he appeared deep in thought before responding, “The true path of existence, my dear, is an elusive concept. For me, there is no ‘right’ way to live. There is only the life I desire to lead.”

Nelly’s eyes sparkled like distant stars in the moonlit night as she locked her gaze with his. “And what life is it that you desire, Alpha Kilian?”

“The life I yearn for,” he said, his voice tinged with a hint of longing, “is to live among those who are dear to me, enveloped in their love and companionship. That, my love, is the life I aspire to.”

Nelly continued to peer into the abyss of her desires, unable to offer him a response in that moment. She averted her gaze, fixating on the horizon instead.

Alpha Kilian, patient and understanding, allowed silence to envelop them before inquiring further, “Then, my love, what troubles your heart on this solemn eve?”

Her voice ghostly, echoing through the night, Nelly whispered, “Take a guess.”

“Is it because of Ben and Donna?” Alpha Kilian asked, surprise resonating in his words. “Have I guessed correctly?”

A wry smile tugged at Nelly’s lips, as if she knew the depth of his understanding. “Have you acquired the ability to read minds, Alpha Kilian?”

He chuckled, the sound almost haunting in the stillness of the night. “If I possessed such a skill, my dear, I would have captured your heart long ago.” Unable to find words to match his charm, Nelly simply gazed into the abyss, her heart longing for the solace that eluded her.
