Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

111 Rigorous Training

“Adorable,” Ronan said in response, chuckling while giving Lucien a peck on the cheek.

Lucien’s face turned sour. Ronan was not even taking him seriously! Did he think that Lucien could not do it? The insolence! The arrogance!

The man curled his fingers into fists. The more Ronan looked down on him, the more he wanted to make it happen!

One by one, the alpha wolves who had not been disqualified poured out of the forest and returned to the entrance. Every single one of them was greeted with cheers from the excited spectators.

About half of the alpha werewolves were eliminated during the one hour. Most of them were young and inexperienced.

When no more wolves showed up after fifteen minutes had passed, Alice declared the end of the game. They could now start counting the lockets that the alpha werewolves managed to collect for one hour.

The excited ladies had begged Alice to allow them to help. Everyone was itching to know who the winner was. After they were done counting from every leather bag, they had a winner. It was one of the lead warriors by the name of Lowell.

The handsome man might already have his own group of fans before the hunting game began, but at the end of it, he was practically a hero among the she-wolves.

“Mrs. Clearwater,” Clara, one of those who counted the lockets, approached Alice.

.....

“Yes?”

“Um, two lockets are missing. One belongs to the first young man who came out of the forest. The other one should belong to Lucien.”

The poor young man was scared shitless by Landon’s aggressive approach.

Alice Clearwater furrowed her brows in confusion. Had Lucien not come out yet?

It definitely took some time to cross the forest from end to end because the area was quite huge. Then again, they were talking about wolves here. Just how long could it take Lucien to get back?

Alice Clearwater was about to search the forest for her son when Beta Jake from the Infinite Eclipse Pack made his appearance at the forest entrance.

“Good evening, Mrs. Clearwater,” he greeted politely.

“Good evening,” Alice returned the greeting. “My apologies, I did not expect anyone from the supporting packs to arrive tonight.”

Jake hastily corrected the misunderstanding.

“Incorrect, Mrs. Clearwater. The others will start arriving tomorrow. Only Alpha Ronan and I are here tonight.”

“Oh.”

Speaking about Alpha Ronan...

Alice cleared her throat.

“Where is Alpha Ronan then?”

Jake cut Alice an uncomfortable smile. “He went into the forest.”

“Why?”

“I believe he wanted to participate in the hunt.”

“Oh.”

“...”

“...”

So only Lucien and Ronan were still inside the forest.

Jake and Alice exchanged knowing looks. What to do?

“Let me try contacting my Alpha with Mind Link,” Jake offered.

“Please do,” Alice said, thankful for Jake’s help.

‘Alpha? Are you there?’

Wonderful. Ronan shut off his Mind Link. Jake fantasized about kicking Ronan in his mind.

The Beta turned to face Lucien’s mother and shook his head in regret.

“I can go into the forest and try to find them,” Alice said, grabbing an oil lamp as she spoke.

“Why don’t I come with you, Mrs. Clearwater,” Jake quickly offered. He was pretty sure that Ronan, the lecher, held Lucien back. The fool should have known that there would be people looking for them! Could he not wait until everyone went to bed or something???

Jake could not stop cursing at Ronan in his head.

Alice Clearwater herself was filled with trepidation after listening in on Ronan and Lucien the previous night. Honestly, she didn’t want to witness anything inappropriate between Lucien and Ronan.

And she thought she knew her son! Since when did Lucien start engaging in lewd activities? Her son was pure and innocent! It must all be Ronan Silverback’s bad influence. Who in the werewolf community did not know about his infamous womanizing way???

Alice and Jake were thus more than relieved when the two giant wolves emerged from the forest a few minutes later.

“Lucien,” Alice breathed a sigh of relief. She approached her son and covered him with a huge blanket. Lucien transformed back into his human form soon after.

Ronan did the same after Alice gave him another piece of blanket. The Alpha winked at Lucien, who shot him a glare and turned away from him without a single word.

This attitude was quite incomprehensible.

Jake turned to look at Ronan, his gaze full of unspoken questions.

“What?” Ronan asked innocently.

“Nothing,” Jake replied. Ronan’s love affair was none of his business. He was merely concerned about the war and nothing else.

Relieved that her son did not do anything inappropriate with Ronan in the forest, Alice decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with her son that night. Judging from the way Lucien looked at Ronan just now, she was sure that Ronan would not be in Lucien’s room that night.

After she changed into her night attire, Alice made her way to Lucien’s room. She brought a glass of warm milk tea on a tray with her. It would help Lucien to sleep better after they had their talk about his relationship with Ronan Silverback. Alice was sure that Lucien was going to need it. If the conversation was embarrassing enough, she might need one for herself.

“Lucien?” Alice knocked on Lucien’s door.

“Lulu?”

There was no answer.

Alice waited for a while before knocking a second time but there was still no answer.

Did Lucien fall asleep as soon as he hit the bed due to exhaustion?

In Lucien’s defense, he must not have gotten enough physical exercise after leaving the pack. Today was just the first day of training. He would feel better with each passing day.

Alice yawned. It was also a tiring day for her. They should all just rest for the night. The talk could wait. The elder woman lifted the glass of milk tea that she brought for Lucien from the tray and drank up the entire content of the glass right away.

She was forever thankful to the Moon Goddess that she already drank most of it when she heard something that gave her the chills.

“What is it?” Came Lucien’s taunting voice from behind the guest room door.

“I thought you wanted me to practice. Come on, stimulate me all you want.”

Alice almost choked on the remaining milk tea. She hasted back to her own bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

The next morning, Alice learned something new.

The milk tea did not help at all with sleeping.
