Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

372 Mommy Is No Longer Mommy

Kinnon Youngshaper received a call from Lucien Clearwater a day after his babies were born.

“I don’t want you and Ralph to find out from other people,” Lucien had said. “The Moon Goddess has blessed Ronan and me with a pair of pups.”

“...”

If Kinnon did not know better, he would think that Lucien had gone nuts. Since when was an alpha male able to conceive?

But it was Lucien who told him this news in such a serious manner, so it had to be the truth.

“Congratulations,” the Alpha said.

“Thank you,” Lucien said. “Then, I will hang up first.”

“Hmm.”

Kinnon bumped the back of his head against the headrest a few times after the call ended.

.....

He quickly arranged for his scouts to find out about the birth of the Alpha heirs of the rival pack.

Unexpectedly, his scouts already knew about it. They just did not tell Kinnon to spare his feelings, and it did not make Kinnon any happier.

A scout gave his Alpha a commiserating look when he showed him a rare photograph that one of Lucien’s fans snapped when he came out of the fertility clinic with a baby in his arms. The other baby was snugly cuddled against Ronan’s chest.

Kinnon stared at the photograph for a long time.

Lucien held the baby like a precious treasure. His lips were slightly parted, and his eyelashes were lowered. He smiled at the baby in his arms the way he smiled at Ralph.

It was the gentle motherly smile, the loving gaze that Ralph greatly cherished.

From now on, all of those would be taken from Ralph and given to the babies instead.

“Fuck,” Kinnon muttered under his breath.

Lucien, aren’t you being too ruthless?

How am I supposed to tell Ralph that his Mommy is no longer his?

And because Kinnon did not know how, he did not tell Ralph at all. Thankfully, his whole pack knew how to keep their mouths shut.

Until a month passed and Lucien made another phone call.

For the first time ever, Kinnon loathed to hear news from Lucien’s side. Nevertheless, he still had to maintain an amicable relationship between the two packs, so he picked up the call.

“Kinnon, can you bring Ralph over?” Lucien asked. “I want to introduce him to Aria and Rayden.”

Aria and Rayden Silverback, the twins that were born miraculously to the Alpha and Luna of the Infinite Eclipse Pack.

Kinnon cleared his throat to expel the sour feeling in his heart.

“Lucien, that is not a good idea. In fact, you should...”

“I want to see him,” Lucien interrupted Kinnon mid-sentence. “Unless he doesn’t want to see me anymore.”

“...”

And so, Kinnon summoned his son that night after dinner.

Ralph was five years old now. He had grown considerably taller in the past year. No matter how big he became, he still missed his Mommy terribly.

“Ralphy, your Mommy wants to meet you,” Kinnon said. “Do you want to go?”

Ralph’s eyes turned round from excitement.

“Yes!” he exclaimed in delight. “Yes, Daddy! When???”

The five-year-old boy jumped around like a rabbit.

Oh, Goddess.

Kinnon’s face turned ashen.

“Tomorrow. Before we go, Daddy needs to tell you something...”

Ralph stopped jumping around and looked at his father with big eyes.

“What is it, Daddy?”

A sour smile crept toward Kinnon’s lips.

This was his fault, really.

He should have predicted that Ronan would not just stay put when his fated mate was betrothed to someone else.

He should have stopped Ralph from falling for Lucien the way he did.

Both of them fell for Lucien, and were fated to have their hearts broken by the man they could not get.

“Ralphy...”

Kinnon patted the seat next to him. “Come here.”

Ralph obediently sat next to Kinnon. Before the Alpha knew it, his son was able to climb onto the couch without his help anymore. He merely hoped that his son was ready for a heartbreak so early in his young age.

“You know that your Mommy is married to Alpha Ronan, right?”

Upon hearing the two words “Alpha Ronan”, Ralph’s face darkened.

“Yes.”

“Well. When two people marry, they have children. Your Mommy had twin babies.”

Ralph’s mouth dropped open in amazement.

“Did Mommy give birth?”

“...”

The talk of a new, breakthrough technology in reproductive medicine was too advanced for Ralph, so Kinnon settled with the easy answer.

“Yes.”

“... Oh.”

“Mommy invites you to come and take a look at the babies. Do you still want to go?”

This time, Ralph’s answer was less enthusiastic. He sounded a little confused.

Kinnon knew that in Ralph’s little brain, he must have realized that something had changed. The loving relationship that he shared with the Luna of the rival pack had ended.

“Ralphy...”

Kinnon patted his son’s head lovingly, prompting the little boy to look up at him.

“Ralphy, you know that Lucien is not your Mommy... Right?”

“...”

Ralph’s lips quivered from heartbreak.

“Lucien has his own children now. Besides, he did not marry your Daddy after all.”

“...”

Silent, beautiful tears slowly fell across the tender cheeks.

Kinnon reached out to wipe them off.

He knew that his son was hurting, but he still had to say it.

“You need to stop calling him ‘Mommy’. You understand why, don’t you Ralph?”

“... Yes, Daddy.”

Kinnon heaved a sigh.

“You are a good boy,” he praised his son. “Are we still going to visit Lucien tomorrow?”

Ralph did not immediately answer. He looked down at his tiny feet for a long time before he slowly came up with a “Yes”.

“Alright,” Kinnon took a deep breath. “Let’s go and visit Lucien tomorrow.”

“Mmm.”

Kinnon pulled his son into an embrace and cuddled him to his chest.

“I am so sorry, my son.”

Tomorrow, he and Ralph both must cut off their lingering attachment to Lucien.

Lucien was already married to Ronan, and now he was busy with their children.

.....

There was no place in Lucien’s heart for anyone else. Not even for Ralph.
