Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

“Should we go get someone to open the door?”

Hearing the kids’ voices, Thalia knew that if they didn’t open the door, the kids would force their way in.

She looked at Dave and said, “Just as you said, you’d better not be scheming against them. I’ll be watching your every move. The moment I see something fishy, I’ll give it my all to end your life.”

Dave chuckled. “J would be relieved if he saw how you treat them.” “How I treat them has nothing to do with Alpha Kilian !”

Dave raised his brows at that and said nothing else.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Thalia hesitated and released her grip on him. “You’d better remember what I said.” Without replying to her, Dave headed straight for the door.

Tony and Ben were in the middle of taking their phone out to give Dave a call when the door

was opened.

The two kids raised their heads to look at him. “Alpha Dave-”

Just when they were about to continue, they saw a figure in Dave’s room. The kids narrowed their eyes. “Thalia?”

Standing rooted to the spot, Thalia made no move to dodge away. Instead, she walked over to them.

“What are you doing here?”

“I…” Thalia mulled over the question, trying hard to come up with an answer.

Dave said, “She said she had something to talk to me about, but you guys came before she could tell me. Well, now that you’re here, let’s just head in and have a chat together.” With that, he opened the door wide and invited the kids into the room.

Tony and Ben stared at the two adults standing before them, their eyes gleaming with curiosity. While they concocted all kinds of scenarios in their minds, they walked into the room.

What on earth happened here?

The two kids stood at the entrance as they swept their gazes over the messy room. Acting as if nothing was out of the ordinary, Dave invited, “Come, take a seat.”

“Alpha Dave, your room…” Ben stared at him before turning to glance at Thalia. Dave replied nonchalantly, “Oh, it’s the cat’s doing.”

“A cat?”

Dave continued plainly, “A cat came in from the balcony just now and messed up my room. That’s why it’s so messy here.”

Hearing that, Ben nodded, looking to be deep in thought. When he glanced over at Thalia, he thought he saw the woman narrowing her eyes, her gaze flashing with a warning look. However, she was back to normal a second later and even gave them a sweet-looking smile.

Tony exchanged glances with Ben . Hmm… something’s fishy going on here…

Ben turned to look at Thalia. “So why did you look for Alpha Dave?” “Uh, I…” Thalia racked her brain to come up with a reply.

I don’t have any proof yet, so I can’t come clean with them. Besides, even though my gut is telling me there’s something off with Dave, I don’t really sense any malice coming from him. Just like he said, he didn’t harm the children. That was also the reason why I came here in the first place. Regardless, there’s no way I can bring myself to tell them the truth.

With that thought in mind, she turned to look at Dave, only to see him wearing an indifferent expression. He, too, was staring at her, as if waiting for her reply.

In the end, with everyone’s gazes on her, Thalia could only say, “It was nothing. I was just here to uh… borrow a cigarette!”

“A cigarette?”

“Yeah! You got any problem with that?”

“Well, not really. It’s just we’ve never seen you smoke before.”

“That’s because you guys are kids. I was worried the smoke would stunt your growth.” The two boys raised their brows when they heard that.

Just then, Dave whipped out a stick of cigarette out of nowhere and handed it to Thalia.

Ben chimed in, “What we want is for us to have mutual trust and honesty.”

Dave lowered his eyes and pursed his lips. After a moment, he nodded and said, “All I can say is that some of the decisions that I’ll make will be selective.”

Ben started, “Alpha Dave-”

Before he could finish his sentence, Tony cut in, “Okay, we get it.”

Ben whipped his head to look at his brother but Tony continued saying, “In that case, we shan’t disturb your rest any longer. Good night, Alpha Dave.”

Dave nodded at them. “Good night.”

The two brothers exchanged glances and headed out of the room.

Meanwhile, Thalia was leaning against the wall outside. A cigarette was clipped between her slender fingers, and she had a dazed look on her face, looking as though she was lost in thoughts.

Tony called out, “Thalia.”

Thalia snapped back to her senses and looked toward the brothers. She proceeded to stub out the cigarette before walking over to them.

She asked, “You guys finished your talk?” Tony nodded.

Thalia added, “Dave is not a trustworthy person.”

Ben stared at her. “Was this the suspicion you were talking about when we went there today?”

“More or less.”

Tony asked, “Is that why you looked for him earlier? To settle the scores?”

Thalia snorted. “Of course. Why else would I look for him? I didn’t look for him to talk about our hopes and dreams, that’s for sure. Regardless, Dave is far more cunning than you thought. The plan only failed because I underestimated him.”

Tony gazed at her and flashed her a comforting smile. “Sure enough, we can only trust one of our own.”

Thalia scoffed. “Well, duh. I can bully you, but I won’t ever allow someone to use you.”

It was at that moment Tony knew there would always be a gap between those who did not share the same mindset.

Only those who did would have absolute trust between them. Thalia was the best example of that.

With that thought in mind, Tony looked at her and said, “Although Alpha Dave did hide something from us, he’s not a bad guy. He’s just loyal toward Daddy.”

Thalia nodded. “You’re right. I can tell that he’s not a bad guy as well. Otherwise, I would have made sure that either he or I ended up dead tonight.”

The two kids gaped at Thalia when they heard that.

S-She actually risked her life? And she’s risking it for us!

The kids couldn’t help but be touched by Thalia’s actions. However, they were never great at expressing their feelings. They could only keep their gratitude to themselves.

Tony said, “Please don’t act so recklessly next time. You should discuss with us first if there’s anything. Who knows, there might be a better solution.”

Thalia rolled her eyes at them. “I was just worried your young souls wouldn’t be able to take it.” Tony replied, “Do we look that weak to you?”

Thalia shrugged. “You’re not weak. It’s just that no matter how strong a person is, they wouldn’t be able to accept being betrayed by someone they trust so easily.”

The kids could tell that she was speaking from personal experience from the grim tone she was using. Tony looked at her. “Have you… been betrayed before?”

Thalia raised her head and looked at them. She then forced out a lighthearted chuckle before saying, “Of course not. With my high intellect, I doubt anyone would be able to use and betray me.”

Unbeknownst to her, the more she tried to deny it, the more suspicious she seemed.

Nonetheless, Tony and Ben were well aware that they shouldn’t force her to tell them if she didn’t feel like sharing. As such, they didn’t push the topic further.

Tony walked over and leaned against her side. “Don’t worry. We’ll be your best support from now on. If anyone dares to hurt you, we’ll end their lives!”

Ben stepped forward and nodded fervently. “That’s right! We’ll be your biggest support from now on!”

Thalia was touched to hear that. Aww… Ben is such a sweet child! As for Tony .

She gave Tony a strange look before turning her head to look outside, a frown raising her brows.
