Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

254 A Ray Of Hope

Beta Jake from the Infinite Eclipse Pack showed up at noon, and he was frantic.

“I demand to see Alpha Ronan Silverback,” he said.

The elder nurse at the reception desk pushed her glasses up and looked at the Beta up and down.

“There is no patient by that name here,” she said.

Jake almost went crazy.

“That’s not what I meant! I mean, I am here for Lucien Clearwater!”

The nurse clicked her tongue in displeasure. Clearly, Jake was the one who did not even remember the name of the patient, so why was she being screamed at?

She lazily looked into the register, ignoring the Beta’s plea for her to hurry.

Jake’s hope was dashed when he heard what the nurse had to say.

.....

“The patient is not accepting visitors.”

“... Why not?”

“He just isn’t,” the nurse snapped impatiently. “Now, if you have nothing else to do, please step aside.”

“Wait! I need to see him! Them! This is urgent!”

“And I am urgently demanding you to leave. Go now before you disturb the other patients!”

Jake was speechless.

He contemplated running blindly to the upper floors and checked the wards one by one.

He had to see Ronan.

He must!

Lucky for him, the doctor that was in charge of Lucien was just passing by. He had a tall mug of hot coffee with him.

“Did I hear that you want to visit Lucien Clearwater?” he gaped at Jake.

“Yes! Doctor! I need to see him!”

The doctor shook his head in regret.

“You can’t. He is no longer conscious. Hasn’t woken up since last night.”

Jake shook at the doctor’s shoulder. It was even more so the reason to let him into Lucien’s ward!

“Please, I don’t care. I need to see him!”

“Young man,” the doctor heaved a sigh. “His mate is with him. He was not in a very stable mood. I suggest you go back home.”

“I can’t! I need to see him! Urgently!”

“I already said that you cannot. Our hospital policy prohibits us from disturbing mourning family members. You are not related to Lucien Clearwater, are you?”

Jake’s jaw dropped open.

“He is the Luna of my pack!”

“That doesn’t fall under familial relationship, sorry.”

“Is that so?” A cold voice was heard coming behind Jake.

The doctor ripped his eyes open in fright.

Jake turned around and saw Dane Silverback standing behind him.

The man gazed at the doctor, the elder nurse, and then at Jake.

“Lucien Clearwater is mated to my son. Does that fall under familial relationships or not?”

“...”

“...”

Truth be told, even if Dane Silverback had absolutely no relation to Lucien Clearwater, they would still allow him to pass. Who dared to defy the previous Alpha of the Infinite Eclipse Pack?

“Wait here, Jake,” Dane turned his head slightly, only enough to catch the Beta in his peripheral vision.

“B-But, Mr. Silverback Sr...”

Jake’s hesitation completely made sense. Had Dane forgotten everything that he had done to Ronan? To be more specific, what he had done to Lady Adele Fangblade?

Considering Lucien’s current condition, Ronan’s mood was surely volatile.

It was not a good idea to confront him now. Or any time.

“I said, wait here.”

Dane Silverback did not wait for Jake’s answer. He went straight to the elevator and headed to Lucien’s floor.

Once the elevator door opened, the first thing that Dane heard was Ronan’s distressed howl. The elder man gritted his teeth. He did not even need to ask for directions. He only needed to head to the source of the voice.

When the ward door opened and revealed Dane at the door frame, Ronan stopped crying at once. The sadness in his heart was quickly burned away by immense rage.

“You!” He shouted. “GET OUT! GET OUT OF HERE!”

Dane cocked his head to the side.

“Look at you,” he said. “How pathetic.”

“If you are here to cremate Lucien, you must go through my corpse first!” Ronan howled. “I am not going to let you do it again. Lucien is my mate! MY mate!!!”

The Alpha lunged at his father.

Dane Silverback might be getting on in age, but his skills were not to be underestimated. He met Ronan’s attack heads on, claw against claw.

Under normal circumstances, Ronan would win easily without a doubt.

But when he was not in full control of himself, he became an easy target for Dane.

Dane kneed into Ronan’s stomach and brought him to his knees. Then he twisted his son’s arm and pinned it behind his back.

Ronan screamed furiously.

“I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!” he shouted.

Dane scoffed. “You can’t even kill a puppy in this state.”

He flung Ronan across the room. Ronan slammed against the wall and slid down the floor with a groan.

When he lifted his head again, what he saw caused the blood inside his veins freeze in an instant.

Dane was putting two fingers below Lucien’s nose, apparently checking whether he was still alive or not.

“LEAVE HIM ALONE!”

Dane turned to look at Ronan. He expected to find Ronan a few meters away from him, probably just about to run toward him.

Unexpectedly, Ronan was right in front of him.

The Alpha grabbed his father by his collar and gave him a punch across his face before shoving him away. The impact of Ronan’s push made him slid backwards a few meters.

“Heh.”

Dane wiped at the bloody corner of his broken lip.

“Good, very good. You dare to raise a hand against your father.”

Ronan pulled Lucien into his arms and inspected him for any sign of harm.

“Don’t go and say that I didn’t warn you,” the Alpha scowled. “To get to Lucien, you must climb over my corpse first.”

Dane took out his handkerchief and dabbed at his mouth.

“He is still alive,” Dane commented. “Ronan, take him and come with me.”

“Why should I?” Ronan furrowed his brows. Had this so-called father of his gone nuts?

The elder man straightened his clothes and pinned his son with a cold glare.

“There is a summon from the Holy Temple Of The Moon Goddess. The Holy Seer has agreed to meet with you.”
