Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 20
“I said no!” Ethan’s voice thundered through the phone, the frustration evident in his words. He slammed the phone shut, flinging it away as if to distance himself from the source of his vexation. Tension radiated from him as he raked a hand through his hair in sheer exasperation.
By his side, Axel bore witness to yet another heated altercation between the Alpha and the Luna, a scene that had become all too familiar. The Alpha’s patience seemed to be wearing thin when it came to his mate.
“What is it?” Ethan snapped when he noticed Axel.
“Nothing, Alpha,” Axel replied, choosing his words carefully.
But it was evident that something gnawed at Axel, something he had been holding back. “It’s just, Devin sent me some pictures,” he finally confessed, attempting to broach the subject.
Ethan, his temper gradually subsiding, settled into his chair, his eyes now fixed on Axel. “So?” he snapped impatiently, although a glimmer of curiosity flickered in his eyes.
Axel persisted, knowing that Ethan wanted to know more despite his dismissive tone. “Pictures of the kids,” he revealed, holding his ground. even in the face of Ethan’s irritation. These pictures were taken at school today.”
Ethan’s interest was piqued, and he reluctantly reached for the tablet Axel offered. Although his initial glance at the device was disinterested, he couldn’t help but become engrossed as he swiped through the images.
The first picture captured Daisy, her cherubic face adorned with green. paint, her smile infectious. Ethan couldn’t help but sigh and melt at the adorable sight. His previously furrowed brows eased, revealing a softer side of the typically stoic Alpha.
As he continued to scroll through the pictures, the transformation in Ethan’s demeanor was palpable. Daisy’s radiant happiness seemed to wash over him, and a smile played on his l*ps. The next image showed a grumpy Liam, his tiny face contorted in a frown, arms crossed, and a pout on his l*ps. Ethan’s own expression broke into a smile at the sight of the boy’s adorable sulk

who rarely displayed warmth or emotions. Yet here he was, entranced by images of these two children, clutching the tablet with genuine affection.
“Their names are Liam and Daisy.” He informed.
“They’re beautiful,” Ethan couldn’t help but remark, his voice soft and sincere, a stark departure from his usual demeanor. His gaze remained fixed on the images before him, captivated by the innocence of the children.
Practicality soon replaced his curiosity. “Where do they live?” Ethan found himself inquiring.
“I’ll text you the address, sir,” Axel replied, turning to leave.
“Axel,” Ethan called once more, his expression betraying a hint of vulnerability.

“Thank you.” He said softly.
Axel paused in his tracks, his hand on the door handle, his eyes wide with shock. For over four long years, he had worked diligently for Ethan, never once hearing a “please” or “thank you.” The sudden expression of gratitude left him momentarily stunned, unsure of how to respond. The man had not only expressed emotions but also gratitude.
He simply nodded and left the room, pondering the enigma of Ethan’s evolving relationship with Hazel and what might have transpired.
Axel had sought information from his sources, discreetly inquiring about Hazel. The feedback was unanimous: Hazel had been the best Luna, known for her warmth, smiles, and kindness, a stark contrast to the present Luna, Bella, who exuded an air of coldness and intimidation. The comparison made Axel sigh inwardly, a silent lament for what might have been if circumstances were different. He dutifully forwarded the address to Ethan’s phone, a small act in light of the turbulent emotions that stirred within him.
His phone buzzed, and Axel swiftly picked it up. It was his informant, bearing news that would shed further light on Hazel’s situation. “Boss, I’ve discovered something,” the informant began cautiously. That man, Nathan, doesn’t live with Hazel. Although he’s present in the kids’ lives, they’re not together.”
Axel paused, absorbing this revelation. “Hazel’s not married?” he Inquired, seeking clarification.

“Yes,” came the concise reply from the informant.
Axel released a sigh, a mixture of relief and contemplation. For some inexplicable reason, he felt relieved by the confirmation that Hazel was not married to Nathan. Perhaps it was a glimmer of hope in an otherwise. complex situation.
However, Axel couldn’t ignore the other aspect of his research. It had already been established that the children couldn’t be Ethan’s based on the timeline of Hazel’s pregnancy and their birth. “Perhaps she divorced within those five years?” Axel pondered aloud into the phone, his thoughts racing.
“There was no marriage, sir,” came the informant’s response, dispelling any illusions of a past marital relationship.
Axel was left with more questions than answers, but one thing remained. clear: the children that Hazel cared for were not Ethan’s by birth. The mystery surrounding their parentage deepened, and Axel’s determination to unravel the truth grew stronger.
After a long day’s work, Hazel hailed a cab to pick up her kids from kindergarten. As she stepped out of the taxi in front of the school, her son Liam spotted her and couldn’t contain his excitement. With an infectious grin, he dashed toward her, arms outstretched.
“Mommy!” Liam yelled, his small voice filled with joy, his eyes shining with happiness as he approached his mother.
Daisy, on the other hand, was still engrossed in a game of chasing a delicate butterfly that fluttered around the school garden, her little feet dancing to its whimsical flight.
Hazel knelt down to Liam’s level as he reached her. With a heartfelt smile, she addressed him. “Oh, honey, I’m so sorry. There was an emergency. Do you forgive me?” she asked, her voice filled with motherly tenderness.
Liam, a sweet and understanding child, nodded vigorously, his smile never fading. “Of course, Mommy! We had so much fun today. We ate, danced, played, and we even got a huge cake!” Liam’s eyes lit up as he recounted the day’s adventures, his enthusiasm contagious.

initial reluctance to attend kindergarten. For a child who had shown. reluctance and grumpiness at the mere thought of kindergarten, Liam. appeared to have had a fantastic time. She gently placed a hand on his cheek.
“You guys ate?” she inquired, relieved that they had enjoyed their day despite her earlier concerns.
Liam nodded emphatically. “Oh, yes, Mommy! I was sooo stuffed!” he replied with a big grin, his eyes sparkling with delight.
Hazel couldn’t help but feel grateful that her children were adjusting well to their new environment, Tiny Tots, it seemed, was indeed a good choice.
Amidst the happy chatter, Daisy, her face adorned with a slight smudge of mud from her playful escapade, finally joined them. Her big, innocent eyes locked up at her mother as she clutched Hazel’s legs.
“Mommy,” Daisy said, her voice a soft, sweet melody.
Hazel’s heart melted at the sight of her daughter. She bent down to Daisy’s level.
Hazel gently brushed away the smudge of mud from Daisy’s face, causing the little girl to giggle with delight. She had always been a source of joy and happiness in Hazel’s life.
“Mommy, are you okay?” Daisy asked, her voice filled with genuine. concern. She gazed at her mother with those innocent eyes, her small hand resting on Hazel’s cheek.
Hazel’s eyes welled up with tears, not out of sadness but out of the profound love she felt for her children. She wiped away her tears, letting out a small laugh. “Uh? Oh, yes. Yes, Mommy’s okay,” she assured Daisy, her voice warm and reassuring.
Daisy reached up and gently patted Hazel’s cheek, as if trying to comfort her. It’s just because I really missed you guys,” Hazel explained, her voice trembling with emotion. She leaned in, embracing Daisy in a tender hug.
Hazel’s heart ached as she held her daughter close. Her baby was a beautiful, vibrant child, full of life and energy. Yet, Daisy’s health struggles had cast a shadow over her childhood. As her mother, Hazel often felt helpless, unable to do anything but watch as her daughter experienced seizures and struggled with her fragile health.
