The Alpha Of The Shadow Pack And His Mute Luna (by Beatrice Putnam) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 145

Alfreds POV

The drive to the restaurant was quiet. I thought Vanessa wouldn’t talk to me. Then she

looked at me and asked.

*

Do I look OK for lunch?”

You look beautiful.”

My mother embarrassed her by saying she needed constant reminders of her beauty. She

blushed deeply.

Alfred, am I really that beautiful?”

Yes, little one.”

Tears fell down her cheek. How can I convince her she’s beautiful? She ignores the looks

from other wolves, even during pregnancy, focusing only on me. She is completely

faithful, unlike Veronica, who’s a known cheater. Vanessa is loyal and beautiful. We

arrived. I got out, opened her door, pulled her close, and kissed her. I whispered in her

ear.

You are so damn beautiful.”

“I can not keep my hands off you.”

She blushed. I noticed tear stains. Why was she crying? I’ll ask later. Are they happy or

sad tears? After lunch, we’d see Junior. My parents wanted to visit earlier, but guards stopped them. My father told me not to worry, but I will anyway. I said only myself,

Vanessa, Chris, Stacey, and my parents could see Junior. Doctors, of course, could work. We sat down for lunch at an expensive restaurant. Vanessa stared at the menu, wide–eyed

at the prices.

I’d eaten here many times, even had my first date with Monica. We dated in high school but never got serious. She loved me, but I made it clear she wasn’t my fated mate. I don’t

think she’s found hers. I have. Vanessa looked at the menu when I heard Monica’s voice.

Alfred darling.”

She walked up to me and kissed me on the lips without warning. In shock, I reacted

instinctively and shoved her away as hard as I could.

“Monica, what the hell do you think you’re doing?”

Alfred, don’t you remember I’m your mate?”

Vanessa was trying to hold back tears as the scene unfolded. When Monica kissed me,

Vanessa abruptly stood up, walked over to Monica, and slapped her across the face.

” That is my mate, and you will show some respect.”

Was this really my shy, nonaggressive Vanessa slapping another woman? I was impressed.

“Alfred is my mate, whoever you are.”

Monica was trying to argue with Vanessa.

ENOUGH, MONICA.”

“Vanessa is my mate.”

Vanessa ran out. I was furious.

“GUARDS THROW HER IN THE JAIL.”

It was a serious crime to argue with your Luna.

“Monica Vanessa is my mate and my Luna.”

That makes her your Luna as well.”

Guards dragged her away, kicking and screaming. I laughed as she cried and acted the

fool. My mother was furious.

“Alfred, what the hell are you doing?”

Monica is going to ruin everything for you and Vanessa.”

You need to kick her out of the pack.”

If you ruin things with Vanessa, I’m going to disown you.”

My mother was livid. I had no intention of returning to Monica. I never cared for her. She

was a distraction. I ran after Vanessa and found her, unconscious in the rain and bleeding

from a knife wound in her leg. What happened? The guards, meant to detain Monica, ran

toward me.

“Alpha Monica escaped.”

Go find the bitch. She stabbed my luna.”

I carried her to the car. Chris rushed to the emergency room. Why isn’t she waking? I ran

her in. Doctor Moser arrived.

Get her on a stretcher.”

He took her straight to surgery and returned quickly.

She lost a lot of blood, and she was hypothermic.”

That would explain why she wasn’t waking up. My chest felt tight with anger as I thought

about Monica’s attack. She had gone too far this time. She attacked the Luna. She is going

to be executed, and I’m going to let Vanessa decide her punishment. If I know how

cunning and manipulative Monica can be, then she is going to try everything to discredit

Vanessa. I needed to plan what to do next. I walked out of Vanessa’s hospital room with rage flashing in my eyes. I was beyond furious with what happened. How could Monica think it was OK to hurt Luna and my mate? She will pay for what she has done. There was no excuse she could come up with that would allow her to live after what she had done. Only Vanessa could save her now. However, I have the final say on what happens. I could

override Vanessa and have her killed, which I intend to do regardless.

I did not get the reputation for being mean and cruel for no reason. I have executed whole packs over a few. I was vicious when I had to be. The packs that I have wiped off the face of the earth, no one dares to speak their names because they are afraid that I will wipe them off the face of the planet. As I reflected on Monica’s past, I remembered why she

was sent away for her bad behavior and constant trouble. My father was too lenient in punishing her as she deserved. She actually deserved to have her head cut off a few times. My father, saying she was too young to die, sent her to what we call werewolf military

school. She has been there this whole time. She was released a couple of weeks ago and

was told to stay away from the pack. She was told to stay with her parents, who were

rogues now. What did she think she was going to do now?

Vanessa can order executions. My father is the only one who can override me. His leniency cost him. A friend betrayed him. I vowed that day to never be like my father in that regard. I ran into the street and shifted mid–air. I was going to find Monica. Her scent was not that hard to find. However, it was eluding me. She smelled like cheap wine and rotten fish. I could not find her scent. I searched for hours looking for her. My guards were looking for her as well. We needed to find her. I finally gave up and went back to the hospital. I walked into the hospital in wolf form and went to the room reserved for shifting into human form. It had scrubs in it. I found a pair that fit me. I put it on. I then went into Vanessa’s room. She was still sleeping but her body temperature was coming up.

Doctor Moser came into the room.

How is she doing?”

She will be fine.”

“She will need rest.”

“I will ensure that.”

She started to wake up. She looked around and she got mad.

“I’m in this fucking hospital again.”

Babe, you are all right.”

Alfred, I’m tired of always being in the hospital. I’m a werewolf.”

“I heal fast now.”
