Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Most importantly, numerous businesses began offering an olive branch to Lucas Corporation once the news was out. The scent of opportunity hung heavy in the air, drawing a cacophony of howls from the wolves of the corporate world. Even the hosts of the lavish cocktail parties that he would never get a chance to attend back then began sending him invitations to their opulent soirees.

The business owners that he came across were all well-groomed and well-spoken, their fangs hidden behind sweet smiles and silver tongues. Although they were all indirectly trying to get close to Morris Corporation, the feeling of having others curry favor with him thrilled Desmond, awakening the predator within.

He reveled in the chase, embracing the notion of being part of the elusive upper-class social circle. The attention, the adoration-it fueled his ambition and fed his thirst for power.

Desmond knew that Morris Corporation was the one who brought him all these benefits. The bond they shared was more than just a simple collaboration; it was a pact forged under the moonlight. For Desmond, it was more than business, it was survival. He had to secure their partnership, ensuring that their companies became entangled like gnarled roots, impossible to unravel.

Nelly, on the other hand, remained oblivious to the whispers of the corporate world. She continued to navigate her mundane life, punctuated by office politics and unremarkable routines. One stifling day, while she was toiling away, her colleague Ross interjected, his voice dripping with intrigue, “Have you heard about Morris Corporation and Lucas Corporation joining forces?”

Tommy, always the curious wolf, lifted his head, his gaze piercing. “That news caused quite the stir. I’ve heard the whispers, but it’s hard to understand why Morris Corporation would suddenly align with a mid-sized business like Lucas Corporation. Something’s brewing, that’s for sure.”

Nelly, lost in her own thoughts, barely registered their words. Their conversation melded with the background noise, distant echoes in her mind.

Ross turned to Nelly, his eyes narrowing. “Ms. Jackson, do you have any secret insights into this collaboration?”

Her head snapped up, her eyes meeting his gaze. “What?”

“The partnership between Morris Corporation and Lucas Corporation. Do you possess any forbidden knowledge about it?” Ross inquired, his tone laced with intrigue.

In that moment, Nelly registered what they were truly discussing-the union between Alpha Kilian’s company and the father of Alpha Zachary. Her blood ran cold, memories of the incident at Infinitium flooding her mind. Alpha King Larry, fiercely protective of the younger ones, would surely have shared the truth with Alpha Kilian, wouldn’t he? If that were the case, why was Alpha Kilian still entwined with Lucas Corporation? Unless…

“Ms. Jackson?” Ross waved a hand in front of her face. “What are you pondering?”

Nelly snapped back to reality, her eyes narrowing with resolve. “Why would I have any secret insights? What are you implying?”

Tommy and Ross exchanged a knowing look before leaning in closer to Nelly. “Ms. Jackson, don’t think you can keep hiding it from us.”

“Hiding what?” Nelly replied, her focus back on her screen.

“Your connection to Morris Corporation,” Ross trailed off, a mysterious glint in his eyes. “We’ve already pieced it together!”

Nelly’s posture stiffened as she regarded them with a mix of anger and disbelief. “Is that so? If you think you’ve figured it out, then surely you must know that I have no ties to Morris Corporation whatsoever.”

Ross chuckled, his laughter a mocking melody. “Oh, Ms. Jackson, don’t play coy. We may not know the details, but we’ve gathered enough evidence to make a solid guess.”

Nelly didn’t respond, her silence a potent weapon.

“I’d advise you to let go of that grudge you’re holding. Why create a divide between yourself and Morris Corporation? Once Alpha Kilian takes over the company, a portion of Morris Corporation will be yours for the taking. Even a small slice would secure your future,” Ross continued, his voice coated in false sincerity.

Nelly reached for the glass beside her, her movements calm and deliberate. She took a sip of water, her eyes fixed on Ross.

“Ms. Jackson, is this what I get for my accurate deduction?” Ross uttered in a daze.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Without hesitation, Nelly spat out the water, drenching Ross’ face.

He stood frozen, the shock etched across his features.

Tommy erupted in laughter, unable to contain his amusement.

“Ms. Jackson, is that the reward for my astute observation?” Ross muttered, wiping his face.

Nelly grabbed a tissue, forcefully shoving it into his hand.

She stared at him, her gaze intense. “Who told you that I’m related to Alpha Kilian?”

“Are you… not?” Tommy queried, confusion evident on his face. “That’s what everyone in the office has been speculating. It’s the most logical explanation.”

Nelly blinked, a sense of foreboding settling over her.

Fear gripped her as she realized the level of intellect she was surrounded by.

The wolves in this company…

Once Ross had composed himself, he turned to Nelly, his voice filled with conviction. “Ms. Jackson, don’t deny it any longer. Though I don’t know what transpired between you two, don’t worry, we won’t judge you for it. We’re here to support you, no matter what. Family is something we can’t choose, but your character speaks volumes. I’ll be by your side, always.”

Nelly remained silent, her gaze unyielding.

She didn’t feel the need to explain herself to them any longer.

After all, her tumultuous past with Alpha Kilian was nothing to be proud of. Thus, a smile flickered across Nelly’s lips as she responded, “Well, thank you.”

“Of course. We’re loyal friends,” Ross declared, thumping his chest.

It took Erin a considerable amount of time to track down Alpha Zachary.

Countless calls went unanswered, her frustration boiling over.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Alpha Zachary picked up.

“Where are you?” Erin barked without preamble. “Why can’t you just say what’s on your mind? Return to the Lucas residence with me immediately. Tell your father that you’ll proceed with the marriage alliance with the Lenoirs and beg for his forgiveness!”

“Didn’t I make myself clear before? I won’t marry, and I won’t go back to the suffocating embrace of the Lucas family!”

“Zachary Lucas!” Erin’s voice reverberated with fury. But as she surveyed her surroundings, she lowered her voice, her words dripping with desperation. “What do you want? If you won’t consider your future, at least think about mine.”

“There’s nothing more I can say if you’re dead set on me becoming a puppet in the Lucas family. But if you won’t let it go, I promise to ensure you live a comfortable life. Mother, all I ask is for you to respect my decision. Just this once. I want to be the master of my own fate,” Alpha Zachary spoke, his voice resolute.

Erin’s eyes narrowed, her voice laced with bitterness. “So, at the end of the day, it’s all for the sake of that woman?”

Alpha Zachary didn’t utter a word. His silence spoke volumes.

“Who is she? What power does she possess to have ensnared you like this? I will find out, mark my words!”
