The Rejected Luna: Daddy, Where is Mommy?

“Please don’t take Rose from here just after this incident, or she will always have bitter memories in her mind related to her,” Christian said, to which Zordan ignored him. Asher and Austin left from there to inform Nathan, just like Zordan ordered. “Zordan, please ask them to stop. I request you.” Christian said again.

“I’m neither going to stop them nor going to stay an hour more here,” Zordan said in determination. He wouldn’t let Roselet stay anywhere where someone would misbehave with her or make her cry.

“I wouldn’t have asked you to say after the words you used for Ethlyn either, but I know you didn’t want to say those things. In the same way, my Ethlyn didn’t behave normally and had not behaved like herself from the time she woke up from the coma, and she has been told that her pup is not alive.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What?” Zordan looked at him in surprise.

“Yes!! That’s what she thinks about her pup. That’s why she is kind of going through a difficult phase, trying to handle this news.” Christian muttered, feeling ashamed.

“And she believed this lie? Didn’t she smell your lies?” Zordan asked, unable to believe this.

“Actually, she didn’t. Because… because she gave birth to twins.” Saying this, Christian told him everything. Everything that he knew, everything that happened with Ethlyn until now.

“People don’t need any enemies in their life if they are blessed with parents like you both,” Zordan said, shaking his head. He was thinking that Ethlyn was characterless, just like Calvin told about her, and a part of his human was doubting Reva after all; she was Ethlyn’s sister, but now, listening to Ethlyn’s side of the story, he felt pity for her and sorry as well that he said all those meaningless things to her in anger.

“I don’t regret Rose keeping away from us because I know that she has been raised with a lot of love in these past years. Love that she couldn’t have received among this pack members and my mate. But… But I’m thinking of telling the truth about her pups soon. It’s just that I’m not able to gather the courage to tell her the truth because I know the moment she will get to know what I did with her daughter. I’m going to lose my daughter forever.”

Hearing Christian’s heavy voice, Zordan felt bad for him. Maybe what he did with Rose came out to be the best for her, but what if Calvin wouldn’t have accepted her or, like a cruel Alpha, would have treated his daughter like a slave, or there was a lot of chance that could have happened?

“We won’t leave today, and I will try that Rose won’t leave from here with a bad image of her mommy,” Zordan said.

“Thank you so much, Zordan.”

“By the way, do you have any idea how Ethlyn landed in Calvin’s room that night?” Zordan asked, trying to solve the mystery of that night.

“No. Even though Ethlyn went into Alpha’s room on her own. Why did he… I mean, why did he take advantage of Ethlyn when she wasn’t in her senses?” Christian asked, not sure that Zordan would have the answer to this question, but then again, Beta stayed with his Alpha almost all the time, so there could be a chance that he might know something about it.

“She wasn’t in her senses? Even Calvin wasn’t in his sense that night. Also, he was supposed to spend the night with someone else. He realized that the woman swapped the next day, so without checking her face, he left thinking that woman would be someone who sleeps with everyone. And he has the same thinking about Ethlyn.”

Christian’s jaw clenched, hearing it, but he asked something else, “So, he never asked the other woman with whom he was going to spend that night where she was that night? And why did she inform him before disappearing or anything like that?”

“No. Calvin didn’t get a chance to meet her again. And she wasn’t that important to him either.” Zordan responded.

“But is it possible that Ethlyn reached Calvin’s room because of that woman? Maybe Calvin didn’t know that woman, but somehow Ethlyn knows her? Or she knows Ethlyn, and that’s why she laid that trap on Ethlyn.” Christian tried to think about all the possibilities.

But at the same time, he too realized that only Calvin could tell what that other woman looked like and the chances of helping those people who left his daughter, and because of this, he spent years in search of his daughter’s mommy as they had wiped all the evidence that could have led Calvin to Ethlyn.

On the other side,

Roselet wanted to spend some time alone, which was why Lemieux shifted and took her to the area where she pointed with her tiny finger. From afar, Roselet saw a lot of little stones, but when they reached there, she realized that it was a cemetery. Lemieux already knew that it was a cemetery, not a place of white stone, because of his superhuman eyesight.

“This is a graveyard, Lemi,” Roselet said, still sitting on his back and looking around. “We should go from here. I don’t want to disturb the sleep of the people resting here.” She added.

But Lemieux didn’t leave from there immediately because he sensed someone else’s presence there, so instead of leaving from there, he walked slowly, following the scent.

“That’s her,” Roselet said, looking at Ethlyn, who was sitting near her son’s grave, holding it near her chest. By looking at her, it looked like that she had no idea of anything around her. Roselet waited for a while to get noticed by her mother, but it didn’t happen. But she did realize that Ethlyn was crying because she was bringing her hand near her face to wipe the tears.
