193 Get pregnant , L ! Nathan .


    No , I am not , I said with a huge smile .


    Anyways , thats none of your business .


    This oath is simply reassuring me that you will keep your promise and wont hurt L .


    So , you will marry rissa ? Luna Vanessa asked staring at me with uncertainty .


    Ragnar howled within me but I pushed down the pain and nodded .


    Yes , I will .


    Alpha Gab rose from his seat again , his expression was grim .


    If we agree to this , theres no turning back .


    You cannot suddenly divorce rissa … I hope this is not a ploy to bring Its really none of your business Gab , I looked at him straight in his eyes .


    All of you here have mistresses and a lot of stray pups outside your mate and marriage but you dont see me questioning you .


    The men shifted ufortably , clearing their throats .


    So youre still going to keep L ? Luna Vanessa asked .


    She sounded offended .


    Again ! I turned to her.


    I do not answer to you , Luna Vanessa .


    Do you want me to marry your daughter or not ? If we agree to this , Alpha Regan murmured .


    Theres no turning back .


    Youll be held .


    ountable for every decision , every failure .


    Are you prepared for that ? I nodded .


    I am .


    Alpha Regan studied me for a long moment before extending his hand .


    Then I agree .


    He rose from his seat and walked towards me , when he came to stand in front of me , he brought out his pen knife and shed it across his palm .


    Pouring the blood at my feet .


    I , Alpha Regan Skye , Alpha to Western Hill Pack and on behalf of the Alpha council of the west of which I am leader , on this day swear allegiance to Alpha Nathan Tanner .


    I agree that the decisions taken regarding L Woond stand and I will not go back on my word under any circumstance .


    I pledge this in front of the Alphas , may the Moon .


    Goddess ept my allegiance .


    I grasped his hand firmly .


    One by one the other Alphas hesitated before following suit , each one reluctantly pledging their allegiance .


    As I stood there , surrounded by reluctant allies , I felt a strange sense of triumph .


    I had sacrificed my happiness for Ls safety .


    If I allow them to do what they want , who The Get pregnant Estat knows what else , Luan Vanessa might demand .


    But I had some ideas .


    She might seek to strip L of her title as the daughter of an Alphapletely , thereby giving her an ordinary status .


    This was the only way to protect her .


    In the bid to do so , I had gained something far greater power .


    The voice in my headughed in triumph , and this time , I didnt try to silence it .


    Did they want a political game ? Id given them one theyd never forget .


    Let them have their ceremony with rissa Id have their souls .


    For better or worse , my fate was now intertwined with that of every pack in the South and West .


    I will take over the East and North as easy as ABC .


    And I would ensure they never forget it .


    Give me thirty minutes to gather myself and also talk to L ! I said quietly as we walked out of the hall .


    The Alphas nodded .


    Instead of heading into the hall where the marriage was to continue , I walked to my car instead.


    In a few minutes , I was at home .


    I bounded up the stairs , three at a time , my heart beating furiously as I headed for my room .


    When I opened the door , I saw , L stuffing her clothes in a suitcase .


    The floor was littered with used tissues damp with her tears .


    I stood there for a moment , not knowing what to do or so .


    L ! I called out eventually .


    Im sorry .


    Yeah ! she murmured without looking at me .


    Lets get over it , Nathan .


    Im d everything ended like this , I wouldnt want to get married only to realize that I am a bastard .


    You are not a bastard , I sighed .


    Cmon , L , your father didnt live in denial of your birth .


    Youre his daughter and he made sure of that .


    She looked up at me finally .


    Her eyes were swollen and red from crying .


    As much as I dont want to hear your voice or you speaking to me , I am going to ask you onest .


    time … Her eyes filled up with tears but she hastily wiped them off before turning to face me .


    What did I mean to you , Nathan ? The question was ambiguous .


    103 Get pregnant .


    L L , you know I love you … I didnt ask you that .


    You im youre my friend and you allow me to walk around without knowing the truth .


    I even killed someone … who else knows that Nanny is my mother ? Who else does? Does Ramsey know ? Does the entire pack know ? Have I been living in a lie the entire time ? Aside from the Core Alphas , you mo- I mean , Luna Vanessa and maybe rissa and Ramsey recently .


    He only found out because of your resemnce with Nanny .


    Else that , no one else knows .


    She nodded and went back to her packing .


    We stayed like that for a few seconds before I asked again .


    Whats with the bag ? She turned to give me a hard stare as if to say, are you blind ? Im going back to my home .


    Youre getting married to rissa … I cant stay with my n going back to my mom … tears welled in her eyes again .


    With Luna Vanessa and definitely not with Nanny .


    She lives in a temple .


    I still have a lease for my house in the human world and school .


    Im not so sure about my work anymore .


    You still have here ! I shrugged .


    This is your pack , L .


    There are a lot of buildings free ones .


    You just need to make a choice and itll be yours or you can stay here ! That was a stupid thing for me to say .


    And listen to you fuck my sister every night ? Oh ! she chuckled dryly .


    rissa would love this .


    A perfect opportunity to taunt me and throw it in my face .


    I was a fool to not have believed what she did at the Harvest Moon and you too , Nathan.


    You lied … I stayed quiet .


    She finished packing and brought down her suitcase from the bed .


    I inhaled deeply again , thinking of the best way to deliver what I wanted to say .


    I actually have a solution to this dilemma .


    Its a long process but its valid .


    She turned to me .


    What ? Are you going to ask me to be your mistress ? You wont be the first person to ask me that .


    Maybe thats what Im best suited for .


    ceremony No ! I shook my head .


    There is still a way to make you my Luna .


    The joining is just to recognize the mate bond between two individuals .


    Remember , I havent been coronated yet .


    The coronation seals the deal but if we can do this before the coronation , then we can still be together .


    You heard that man ! she was staring at me curiously .


    He said Ill be taken to the Alpha 193 Get pregnant , L ! council in the west and tried for murder .


    You never have to worry about that anymore .


    Bottom line is youre now immune to whatever it is they throw to you as long as you live .


    O Okay ! she arched her brow .


    Then how can I be your Luna ? I took in another shaky breath .


    Get pregnant , L .


    Get pregnant for me !
