Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 85

Bella walked down the stairs slowly. Ethan was seated in the car waiting for her impatiently. She trudged slowly getting to the car. It was almost time for the meeting.

After her previous nights refusal and today’s attempt, Ethan was bent on attending with her. Her constant refusal was futile.

She had gotten ready slowly.

She was already dreading the event. The choice of the various packs to remain completely independent and isolated ruling in their own territory had made it easy for her to semlessely blend into a new one and she had had no issues for years. But now suddenly, they decided to meet!

Much later, she finally reached the car. She looked different, almost unrecognizable. A blonde wig adorned her head, accompanied by heavy makeup–none of which was unusual for her. However, what caught Ethan’s attention was the sunglasses she wore.

“What’s that for?” he asked.

“The glasses?” she questioned, lightly touching them.

“Yes,” he replied.

“I would rather wear this for tonight’s meeting,” she insisted.

“It’s evening, besides the meeting would be held indoors,” Ethan further quizzed.

“It’s not a summer gathering,” he stated.

Bella pursed her l*ps; she preferred keeping the glasses on, shielding most of her features.

“I hurt myself this morning; there’s an unsightly injury close to my eyes,” she lied instead. “I’ll just wear this. The bump makes me really self–conscious,” she whined.

“Fine,” Ethan finally agreed. They hopped into the car, and together they left for the event. The atmosphere was tense.

The meeting was being held at a private resort, hosted by one of the other pack Alphas. After driving for several hours, they finally arrived. Their car pulled into the lot where other cars had been parked. Walking

together, they could hear the sound of classical music and laughter, along with glasses clinking.

It was evident they were running late. As they were ushered in, they stepped into the room, where the music intensified. Bella scanned the room eagerly, trying to assess the atmosphere and identify the various pack leaders present.

She had been on edge since the previous night when Ethan announced they would be coming here. There weren’t many people in the room, perhaps not more than seventy, but she couldn’t identify which pack they came from, and it made her slightly anxious.

Linking arms together, they made their way in. The two seemed to blend into the crowd seamlessly. Normally, Bella loved social events like these, but this one was different; she couldn’t freely socialize. The air was thick with tension, and she couldn’t shake off the feeling of being watched by someone. The feeling made her anxious and oppressed.

“Alpha Ethan.” A voice greeted, and a man walked over, a glass in hand, gripping Ethan’s arm with his other free hand.

“Callum.” Ethan greeted back with a small smile, shaking his arm.

“Man, it’s been so long, what has it been, eight years?” Callum asked, chuckling lightly.

Ethan only nodded, exchanging pleasantries with others passing by.
