Pursuing My Rejected Alpha Chapter 239

239 Annalynne Lost Her Patience

In the next second, before Alice could do anything to stop her, Annalynne already pounced at Ronan and landed a slap across the Alpha’s face.

A crisp sound tore through the air. Ronan’s head was forcefully turned to the side following the direction of the slap.

Anger quickly rose within Ronan’s heart.

The Alpha turned to glare at the junior who dared to hit him, but the fierce expression on his face quickly disappeared when he saw Annalynne’s tear-streaked face.

Healed from the ugly scars that marred her appearance, her crying face was remarkably similar to Lucien’s.

His anger melted away, replaced by a feeling of helplessness.

“How dare you,” Annalynne repeated, her lips shaking from both fury and sadness.

“I told Lulu to leave you, but he kept defending you. He kept telling me to be more understanding. That you, being the Alpha that you are, deserve to have an heir. That we should allow you the joy of fatherhood. He kept telling me not to make a fuss. And here you are, standing shamelessly in my pack house to badmouth my brother in front of his mother!”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Ronan’s mouth dropped open.

…..

It was as if he were seeing Lucien in front of him, telling him openly about his pain and sorrow.

Images of Lucien lying on the bed weakly crossed his mind.

He rarely initiated sex.

It was always Ronan who seduced him night after night and plundered his body until he could not take it anymore.

What was it that Lucien wanted to tell him last night?

“I love you,” he could almost hear Lucien say, tears streaming down his face like two rivulets. “Stay with me. Be with me. Don’t leave me alone.”

“Oh, Goddess…” A whisper escaped the Alpha. He could not believe what a fool he was.

How could he even begin to think that Lucien stopped loving him?

Whatever the reason for the disappearance of the Mind Link, it was not Lucien!

Everything that Lucien did was for the sake of their relationship!

Lucien had been protecting him all these times!

In front of Ronan, Annalynne bawled her eyes out.

“My poor, precious brother… Return him to me if you don’t know how to take care of him! I will go and pick him up now…!”

The rest of Annalynne’s words were stuck in her throat. She gave a light gasp when she was pulled into a hug.

“Sorry,” Ronan whispered in a hoarse voice.

“I am sorry that I hurt you. I am sorry that I hurt him. Lucien is forever the sun and moon of my life. I am not going to let him go. Not as long as I still have a breath to draw.”

Annalynne sniffled into Ronan’s shoulder. She knew ages ago that Ronan Silverback, this bastard, was never going to leave Lucien alone. To Annalynne’s greatest dismay, Lucien too did not want Ronan to leave him.

“Don’t you dare hurt my brother again,” she said. “Don’t you dare doubt my brother’s sincerity again.”

“I won’t,” Ronan promised. “I have to go now. Lucien needs me.”

Ronan left just like that without saying his goodbyes. He was in such a rush.

Annalynne wiped her tears and pursed her lips.

Alice stared at her.

“What is it, Mom?” she asked, confused by her mother’s weird gaze.

“Where are the cinnamon and ginger cookies that I asked you to buy?”

“…”

A few hours later, Ronan arrived at the Infinite Eclipse Pack House. The ride back and forth between Great Lake City and Blue Hill City was beyond exhausting, but he could not wait to throw himself in Lucien’s arms again.

Impatient to wait for the elevator to come down, he scaled two steps at once and climbed the staircase all the way to his apartment.

“Lucien!!!”

The Alpha was stunned when he saw that the bedroom was empty. He expected his mate to be in the bedroom still, maybe enjoying breakfast in bed.

But Lucien was not there.

The bed was made, and the pillows were stacked beautifully at the head. There was no trace of Lucien.

“Lulu…???”

Ronan went from room to room, but he was unable to find Lucien. His heart was filled with trepidation. Did Lucien leave again? Where did he go? Did anyone see him?

Just as Ronan ran out of his apartment, he came across a Healer. One of those who tended to Lucien in the past days.

“You!” He snapped, grabbing the poor man on the shoulders. “Did you see the Luna? Where did he go???”

Instead of stuttering an “I don’t know, Alpha” that Ronan was so used to hearing, the Healer blinked at him and answered, “Reporting to the Alpha, the Luna is in the audience hall addressing a few issues.”

“…”

What the hell?

He was gone for a few hours and Lucien, this hardworking employee, got to work right away???

What issue could be so urgent that he could not ask others to handle it for him?

Ronan rushed to the audience hall. When he finally arrived, he pushed the door open forcefully.

“Lulu!”

Inside the hall, there were more people than he thought. All of them fell silent when they saw the fuming Alpha at the door.

At the farthest end of the room, Lucien sat in the Luna’s seat. He used one arm to support the weight of his upper body. The other hung lifelessly at his side.

On his right side was Cassie who had her arms crossed in front of her chest.

On his left side was Quinn, who held a bunch of documents that she was showing Lucien.

Lastly, in front of these three people, also sitting on a chair, was Lillian Woodland.

Ronan’s mouth went dry.

“What are you doing here?” He asked Lillian.

The pregnant woman stared at him.

“Has Alpha Ronan gone senile at such a young age?” was what she really wanted to say, but she changed it to an “I am here to move into your pack” accompanied with a graceful smile instead.

“Oh, fuck,” Ronan cursed under his breath.
