Chapter 36
Alpha Jephthah was the leader of the Solar pack, and I adored the sunny paradise they called home.
1 affectionately referred to him as Jeff, and we had formed a strong bond over the past three years since we first met.
Although we weren’t mates, we enjoyed each other’s company and maintained a relationship built on mutual respect and clear boundaries.
pack members loved him, wishing for us to get married someday and so did L. However, everything changed when I proposed seming a date for our wedding.
Alpha Jephthah’s behavior became erratic, and his parents refused to provide any explanations
Despite my confusion and frustration, he refused to leave, leaving me to wonder what had caused this sudden shift in our relationship.
Before I regained my senses, he had left the park in the hands of his parents and beta, leaving me without a trace.
I was heartbroken, not knowing what I did wrong to warrant such treatment from him. A few months later, I heard he got married in the human world
He found his mate, a human, and was not man enough to tell me about it, leaving me broken and questioning my abilities.
With time, I trained myself to forget about him completely and warned everyone around me to never mention his name again.
Maybe that was why they refused or hid the fact that he was finally back from the human world. So, what did he want with hert
To mock me or introduce me to his wife? I couldn’t tell, but I wasn’t ready to see him either.
“Don’t let him in, I replied through mindlink to the warrior who sent the information, but he quickly responded.
I already tried, but he refused to leave.” I said.
“How many warriors did he bring along?” I asked, wanting to be prepared.
“He’s alone, Luna, the warrior replied, I was surprised.
“Not Eve
even his wife?” I inquired, curious about his wife’s thoughts on his sudden departure and if she was aware of his location at the moment.
Three years had been enough time to erase him from my heart, mind, and pack
“No, Luna. He’s sitting in front of the gate after I denied him entry. He insists on seeing you before allowing anyone else in, the warrior informed
Π
I chuckled inwardly at his audacity in preventing anyone from entering my pack until I gave him an audience.
Despite the passage of three years, my loyal warrior still upheld the rule of keeping unwanted visitors out of my pack.
However, a dilemma arose as Jephthah refused to leave. “Wait, let me think of a solution, I replied via mindlink, but the warrior interrupted with another message through the same channel.
“He said the only way you can refuse to see him is by putting a knife to his throat He won’t resist or cause any trouble,” the warrior relayed. His stubbornness was starting to wear on me, and for the first time, I found myself at a loss for words. The audacity to make things so difficult for
I will send Carius to meet with him.” I decided
After ending the mindlink, I immediately contacted Cassius. Please bring Alpha Jephthah. Use your car and have him leave his at the gate! Cassius quickly grasped my instructions and asked, ‘You don’t want anyone to see him, is that why you’re doing this?”
Knowing he wouldn’t understand, I replied firmly, Just do it
“You’ve been in
in a mindlink for quite a while, Alpha Kodak remarked as I finished the connection.
Ignoring his strange expression. I turned to his parents with a smile on my face.
“Mom, Dad, please rest well. I’ll have the chef prepare something delicious for you,”
Mom was all over me and I wished strongly that it wasn’t just because of the pup but also me as a person

“Since the wedding is tomorrow, I wanted both of you to see the progress that has been made,” Mom mentioned, leaving me feeling exhausted already.
I didn’t want to let her down but thinking of the pressure tomorrow would bring, and with Alpha Jephthah at my gate, I needed this rest.
“I haven’t slept well, and I trust your choices. I believe I would love it, or you can have the wedding planner send me some pictures,” I said in a gentle tone as the couple agreed.
“You are right. What you should be having is your beauty rest, so we shall take care of everything for tomorrow, Dad said, his tone gentle as he stared at me affectionately.
How I wished I could steal them from Alpha Kodak and make them mine, but as I turned around to leave, Kodak grabbed my arm. forcefully twirling me around until we were inches
apart.
His warms were strongly wrapped around my waist as he glared at me when our eyes met.
“Don’t do that again. You could have hurt her, his father cautioned as my heart thumped wildly due to the closeness.
All I could do was blame my pup
up for it. He loved being close to his father, so anytime we were this close, my heart rate would skyrocket
“Where are you going?” He asked in a stern voice, leaving no room for argument, but this was none of his business
That was what I wanted to say to his face, but the presence of his parents prevented me
“There is someone I need to meet,” I said, but his gaze was even more suspicious, so I decided to make it easier. “Pack business.”
I wiggled successfully out of his arms, but he was behind me as I walked away.
Tm
n coming e with you
Since our relationship was based on the pup. I didn’t want to involve him in this, so I refused
“No, I can handle this myself,” I assened as I walked away, closing the door to his parents‘ rooms,
However, he caught up to me. “Let me take care of it for you. Go shower, change into something appropriate, and rest, he insisted.
I gazed into his caring eyes but reminded myself that this wasn’t real “You should be tending to your pack matters. Let me handle mine,” I replied Ermly.
Despite the pain in his eyes, I proceeded down the stairs just as Cassius entered with Alpha Jephthah
“Love, I’m thrilled to see you again,” Jephthah exclaimed, moving towards me with excitement to embrace me. However, Alpha Kodak stood protectively in front of me, blocking him..
“Don’t even think about it,” he growled as if he was going to fight.
The level of his possessiveness of me was too extreme for our deal and I thought to address it later after sending Jephthah away.
I thought he had left after I declined his help, but his presence now felt oddly reassuring.
“If you had let him touch you, I would have killed you myself, Olga’s voice echoed within me, and I shook my head in response.
I wouldn’t have allowed it, but the unease I felt with Jeff’s presence was overwhelming as he and Alphia Kodak engaged in an eye bale.
“Alpha Jephthah, what brings you here?” I inquired, sensing a tinge of regret for lening him in.
