Chapter 189: Emotions Behind the Scenes

[Mona’s P.O.V.]

“What’s your name again?” asked Alpha Leon as he turned to me.

“My name is Mona, sir,” said I.

“What about the father of your child?”

“He’s a useless loser with a good track record of domestic violence and alcoholism. So, for the sake of my child, I decided to leave him.”

I noticed Edward’s slight and brief change in expression which almost made me burst into laughter. But I quickly recollected myself and maintained my act.

“These two are your relatives?”

“Sir, I’m Mona’s uncle. My name is Steven. And this is my wife, Laura.” Alonso took the initiative to respond to Alpha Leon’s acting.

“I’m asking Mona, not you.”

“Yes, sir. When I was young, my parents were killed in a car accident. So, my uncle and aunt adopted me,” said I.

“You were the one who approached Alpha?” asked Patrick, his tone filled with disdain and doubt.

“We met on the streets when I saw Mona being molested by a few hooligans. That was when I knew I couldn’t leave her behind.” This time, Edward answered on my behalf.

“You are one ‘lucky’ guy, Alpha,” said Jane sarcastically.

“Everyone, I assure you that my feelings for Edward did not come about simply because he saved him. I love him because, to me, he is perfect in every way. I think this is a second chance the moon goddess has presented me. Moreover, when I first met him, I did not know that he was an Alpha. He simply told me that he was single. And when we hung out together, I noticed and enjoyed how naturally we got along like an ordinary couple, until he said that he wanted to bring me and my family back to his pack. I may be a single mother, but I know my place. I knew I could never take away someone’s love and I could never give up my principles and dignity for money and fame either, or even to find a father for my child.”

“But my son is going to become a stepfather!!” Luna Taylor exclaimed.

“Why are your thoughts so inflexible? We will have children of our own,” said Edward in a double entendre as he glanced at Phil in my arms.

“I miss Rose already,” said Diana.

“Stop your complaints. This is my pack and this is the decision I have made,” said Edward in his Alpha voice and everyone lowered their heads.

“Dylan, send Stephen and Laura to their residence. Someone, go put Mona’s luggage in her room. I need all of you to understand that I love Mona and her child. Provoking or disrespecting her will be equivalent to doing the same to me. So I advise that you remember this well. Anyone who decides to question or go against me will face the consequences. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Alpha!” Everyone answered, including the Omega servants.

“That’s it for today! All ranked members to my office, now.”

Edward put his arm around my waist and led me to the elevator in the lobby. The ranked members did not follow as they chose to take the stairs.

When we reached the right floor, we passed by my previous office as we walked to his office. Its door was open and everything inside seemed the same as before when I took a quick peek in. Knowing this made me all warm and fuzzy inside.

Once we had entered Edward’s office, he sat me down on the couch and poured me some warm water. A few minutes later, the ranked members arrived and Patrick locked the door behind him.

“Rose!!”

Once they were sure the door was locked, the girls rushed at me, screaming. I started to worry that they would awaken Felix.

“Shh!!” I put my finger to my lips to signal for them to keep their voices down. Thankfully, our son was fast asleep during the outburst. Luna Taylor gently took him from my arms.

“My God! He looks just like a baby Edward!”

Luna Taylor and Alpha Leon looked lovingly at Felix. They couldn’t put him down. Aunt Taylor started crying.

I looked at everyone and opened my arms to hug them. Patrick even lifted me off the ground. Edward just watched with a smile.

“You look like a beautiful female lead in a cartoon. What’s that character’s name?” Patrick muttered to himself.

“The sun in Phuket didn’t tan you!” Diana tapped my nose lightly.

“B*tch, I used to envy your hair color, but now your sexy freckles are making me jealous too,” said Jane as she played with my hair.

“What’s our future Alpha’s name?” Someone finally said something normal. It was Ad.

“Felix. His name is Felix. Edward gave him that name. But we just call him Phil,” said I.

“Why Felix?” asked Luna Taylor as my son remain cradled in her arms.

“That’s the name of a character from ancient Greek mythology that symbolizes luck and courage. Besides, doesn’t it sound manly?” said Edward.

Just then, I heard Edward’s thoughts. He was hesitating about whether to tell them now that Phil was the Dragon Bone Wolf that the werewolf race had been looking for thousands of years. But he decided not to say anything for now.

Everyone surrounded me and asked me all sorts of questions. They also did not forget to lament about our reunion earlier. It wasn’t until Edward gestured for everyone to be quiet that he picked up his phone and made a call.

“Dylan, tell Emily to come to my office right now.”
