Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Nelly wasn’t surprised that Alpha Kilian had known. Since Fabian had told her that Alpha Kilian saw Shadow Seeker offering a reward online, she reckoned that the man had possibly known about it.

Sure enough, she was right.

However, she had never expected him to ask her in such a situation. Her eyes that were initially glassy gradually cleared.

Pinning her gaze on him, she drawled, “So, you’ve been seducing me today, and simply for the sake of asking this question?”

Alpha Kilian’s lips curved into a self-deprecating smile. “Would you believe me if I say no?”

Nelly stared at him, her sanity gradually returning. Pulling away from the man’s embrace, she got up and straightened her clothes. Then, she fell into deep contemplation.

Alpha Kilian likewise got to his feet and looked at her. “Just pretend I never asked if you don’t want to answer it.”

Indeed, it didn’t matter much whether she answered the question then, for her first reaction had already given him the answer.

As an astute person, Alpha Kilian definitely understood what her reaction meant.

After pondering for a while, Nelly asked in a low voice, “You’ve already guessed it, haven’t you?”

In a flash, Alpha Kilian’s eyes narrowed into slits. Guessing the answer and hearing it in person are two different things.

Previously, he merely suspected it because he didn’t believe in such coincidence in this world. After she had demanded to know about the tattoo from those people, Shadow Seeker, who hadn’t made an appearance in many years, also posted a reward on the hacker website in search of that same tattoo. When he saw it back then, the link didn’t occur to him. It was only when Donna went missing, and she sat in front of the computer with her fingers flying across the keyboard did he connect the dots.

Despite it all, if she had denied it, he would have chosen to believe her. However, she didn’t do so.

On top of that, he knew full well the significance of her admission.

Numerous people were looking for her, and a smidge of information on her was worth a king’s ransom. Therefore, her admission was tantamount to her entrusting her life to him.

As he gazed at her, he was still inexorably shocked despite having known the answer. “You’re admitting to it just like this, Nelly?” Alpha Kilian queried.

“Yeah.” Nelly nodded in a distinctly nonchalant manner.

Alpha Kilian gaped at her, at a loss for words. A long moment later, he ventured, “Are you not afraid I’d betray you? No matter how much I demand in exchange for your identity, someone will be willing to pay for it.”

“Would you?” Nelly countered.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Of course not! Not only would I never betray her, but I’d even protect her well.

Alpha Kilian strolled over to her. Training his eyes on her, he remarked, “I feel pressurized out of the blue.” “What do you mean?”

“I’ve got to do my best to protect you in the future. How can I not feel pressurized?” Alpha Kilian replied. Following that, Nelly laughed.

“Who else knows your identity, Nelly?” Alpha Kilian inquired, his vigilance rearing its head right then. “You, Grandpa, and Spencer,” Nelly answered.

“Spencer…” Alpha Kilian muttered upon hearing that name, his voice tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction. Gah! He actually learned about it earlier than I did.

As though perceiving his chagrin, Nelly asserted, “He once saved me, and I’ve also helped him previously. As such, he’ll never betray me!”

“I naturally believe that he’ll never betray you. I’m just jealous,” Alpha Kilian admitted. At once, words eluded Nelly.

“Nelly, promise me that you’ll never reveal your identity to a fourth person,” Alpha Kilian urged, his eyes fixated on her.

Too many people had their sights set on her, so he was really worried she would be stolen away like a treasure he owned.

Nevertheless, that was secondary. Primarily, he was concerned that some people with ulterior motives would choose to destroy her if they couldn’t have her. And the number of such people was definitely overwhelming.

Discerning his worry, Nelly nodded. “Okay. Few people deserve to know my identity anyway.” “In that case, can I interpret it as me deserving your trust?” Alpha Kilian questioned.

Staring at him, Nelly nodded. “Yes, I indeed trust you a great deal.” Alpha Kilian looked back at her, the corners of his mouth curving up.

Ah, it feels great to be trusted!

At that precise moment, Nelly stared at him. “What about you? Is there nothing you’d like to say to me?”

“What are you referring to?”

“Midnight fang pack,” Nelly prompted.

Speaking of that, Alpha Kilian narrowed his eyes a fraction. “Fabian told you about it?”

Nelly didn’t deny it and merely said, “Don’t punish him. I was the one who forced him to tell me about it.”

Alpha Kilian chuckled. “Well, he found himself a great backer.”

“So? Were you not planning to tell me about it?” Nelly demanded.
