Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 239 – Luna of the Kensington Pack

“Wait, Evelyn,” he stutters. “Why? You worked so hard –“

“I know,” I confirm, nodding.

“And you’ve done so many great things in your work as a therapist –“

“It’s true,” I say, raising my eyebrows. “I did manage to use my therapy practice to break up Victor Kensington and Amelia Jones, which I think anyone will agree was a triumph –“

He blinks at me in shock and then bursts out laughing. I snicker along with him, relieved. It’s a serious subject, of course, but we needed a little laugh so we could both remember that we’re on the same team. After all, I’ve thought this out – I just need to get him on board.

“It’s not that I want to give up my work helping people, Victor,” I explain as he reaches out a hand and traces his fingers delicately down my arm. “I still want to do good in the world – I just think I can do more of it as Luna, rather than as a therapist. Does that make sense?”

Slowly, Victor shakes his head. “You’ll have to tell me more of what you’re thinking, Evelyn,” he confesses. “Because all of the Lunas I know are…mothers and party planners. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but –“

“No, I understand,” I say, nodding. “But I don’t think that it has to be that way. I think that Lunas have largely taken those roles because their Alphas required them to, because they didn’t want them to do anything else. In some ways it was a mark of respect, I think, to have a Luna live like a queen in a castle, petted and cared for, but –“

I bite my lip, looking up at him. He looks quietly down at me, listening carefully. “But,” I continue, “I think that given the choice, most Lunas would have made different choices. I don’t want to be your party planner – I want to be your equal. I want to lead this pack with you.”

Victor takes a moment to move downward on the bed, bring his face level with mine. “You are my equal, Evelyn,” he states seriously. A happy little thrill runs through me to hear him say it. It doesn’t seem like much, but in this world, where Alphas are in charge and Lunas fall in line? It’s significant. “I hope I never gave you any reason to doubt that.”

“Well,” I confess, raising a hand to stroke his hair. “You did give me a little reason to think that when you told me I was nothing more than your sons’ surrogate…”

I see him grimace with shame then, and his eyes fall away, unable to hold my gaze.
