Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

294 The Alpha’s Mother Lied

Lady Adele Fangblade was supposedly “still in bed” and was unable to meet Ronan and Lucien.

While Ronan was still hesitating between throwing up all over Dane or giving the man a punch across the face, the diplomatic Lucien ripped the yellow rose bouquet from Ronan’s clenched fists and handed it over to Dane.

“We will come again later,” he said with a curt smile before dragging Ronan back to their apartment.

The Alpha seemed to have been frozen into a huge chunk of ice.

“Ronan?”

Lucien tried his best to commiserate with his mate, but he really couldn’t. He and Annalynne came from a functional family with parents who loved each other. Although both of them were grossed out by the thought that their parents were still sexually active, they were not exactly allergic to the idea.

Ronan was entirely different.

He grew up with parents who supposedly hated each other. Ronan was used to seeing his father as this huge villain who bedded women left and right and sired children thoughtlessly.

And his mother? His mother was a defenseless, innocent victim who was unable to escape her tragic fate of being married to Dane Silverback.

.....

Keeping his mother safe from his father had been Ronan’s lifelong mission.

Up to a few weeks ago, Ronan was still hating Dane Silverback with passion. It was easy because Dane’s image in Ronan’s mind had only grown worse and worse with the passing time.

And then a string of unexpected events happened. Dane helped to save Lucien’s life, save and hide Lady Fangblade away, and in the end also worked with Ronan to convict Lucrethia Woodland.

After years of shouldering the reputation as a belligerent scumbag, Dane Silverback turned out to be less of an asshole than Ronan thought he was.

Ronan was still trying to come to terms with the unexpected development.

He was just thinking about seeing Dane as his father again.

As if that was not difficult enough, must Dane go and seduce his ex-wife?

“Oh, Goddess,” Ronan whispered in horror. Clawing into his own cheeks, he asked the question that he had been dreading to ask.

“Lulu, they are doing it, aren’t they?”

Lucien pulled his lips into a thin line. He patted Ronan’s back and nodded.

“... Yep...”

It was safe to say that they were not just having an innocent pajama party.

“Oh, nooo...”

Ronan dropped on the nearest couch like a sack of sand and buried his face into his hands.

“My mom lied,” was the first thing that came to his mind. “I can’t believe it. She lied to me. She said that she didn’t sleep with him. Oh, Goddess...”

“Well...”

Lucien pulled a grimace. Was this even something that a mother must tell her son? Besides, it was not as if Ronan could take it.

Look at him now.

He sat next to Ronan and caressed the man’s broad shoulders.

“Ronan, listen to me. They stayed together for months. What your mother meant was that they didn’t do it that night. As for the other nights...”

Ronan whipped his head around and looked at Lucien with a horrified expression.

“What other nights??? Are you telling me that they have been doing it night after night...? Oh, Goddess! No!!! I refuse to believe it!!!”

Lucien bit into his lip to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

“It’s not that bad, Ronan.”

“Yes, you are right. It can be worse. He might get her pregnant. Holy Goddess! I hope they are being responsible adults!!!”

Ronan howled at the horrific thought that his brain conjured. For Ronan’s sake, Lucien did hope that his parents were just reminiscing about the time when they were happily married.

However short the period must be.

“Wait here,” Lucien said after patting Ronan’s back.

He went to the kitchen to pour the suffering man a glass of water. When he got back, said man was curled up on the couch like a wounded wild animal. He sounded like one, too.

“I need something strong,” Ronan demanded, but he accepted the glass of water anyway.

“It’s not good to drink alcohol so early in the morning,” Lucien pointed out.

“Can I get a can of soda then?”

Lucien narrowed his eyes at his mate.

“That one is equally worse. I told you to never drink soda in the morning before breakfast.”

Ronan howled.

He pulled at Lucien’s waist and pressed his face into the latter’s stomach.

“Then what can I get???”

Lucien sighed. How did the Alpha turn into a child?

“I am going to make you some breakfast.”

Ronan’s head whipped up in alarm.

“What are you planning to make?”

“Waffles with honey and fresh strawberries.”

A perfectly normal breakfast for all human beings out there. Unfortunately, the posh Alpha did not share the same opinion.

Ronan’s face darkened.

“We should check your blood glucose level,” he murmured unhappily. “Get your coat, we will go to have breakfast in a nearby farmer’s market.”

Lucien giggled. He hugged Ronan from behind. A delighted hum escaped his lips when his hands traveled around Ronan’s toned chest and abdomen.

“Do you like what you touch?” Ronan teased Lucien, temporarily distracted by his mate’s adventurous hands.

Lucien looked up at him with an evil smirk on his face.

“Do you want to invite your parents for breakfast?” he teased back in response.

The Alpha groaned from immense pain.

“Goddess, no! Lulu, I forbid you from mentioning it, ever again!”

That was how Ronan ended up not being able to visit his mother for the time being.

He simply could not stomach the fact that his mother was sexually involved with Dane Silverback. If it were another elder gentleman, Ronan might just find an excuse to challenge him to a duel.

Three days later, though, Ronan had to swallow all his grievances and meet up with his mother and father. Thankfully, he had Lucien to act as a buffer. Otherwise, the atmosphere would be dreadful.

Two unlikely guests had seen it fit to pay them all a visit.
