He strode forward, like d wall.shielding Serena and her child behind him.
The way he looked at me was laden with accusation,.
"Luna, if you have a problem, take it up with me, the Beta. There's no need to make things difficult for a child.”
My heart felt like it was being sliced back and forth by a rusty knife, the pain making it hard for me to breathe.
This was my Alpha, my destined mate.
To protect another woman and her mate.
To protect another woman and her child, he stood there, questioning me with the scrutiny of an enemy.
I fought back tears that threatened to spill, my voice trembling as i spoke.
“Do you know that just now, he not only pushed Leo down and stole his toy, but he also insulted Leo, calling him a fatherless bastard, saying he was a child i had stolen?”
Alpha Aaron's expression shifted in shock, instinctively glancing at the bruise on Leo's forehead, a flicker of concern flashing in his eyes.
But that fleeting compassion vanished as quickly as it came.washed away by Serena's cries.
"Tiger is just a child; how could he possibly say such things?
She said between sobs.
“The model spaceship fell in the grass, Luna, if you're going to weave your story, at least make it believable-why slander a child like this?
“And besides, it's normal for kids to rough house. With your esteemed background, Luna, interference like this could make things worse for little Leo,teaching him to flip right and wrong!”
From a vantage point Alpha Aaron wasn't aware of, Serena discreetly pinched Tiger's leg hard.
Tiger immediately burst into tears,wailing as if he might faint from distress.
Seeing the bruises on his body and the redness on his cheek, Alpha Aaron's brow furrowed in a knot.
But when he looked back at me, any trace of guilt that had briefly flickered in his eyes had completely vanished.
"Luna comes from a noble background; she shouldn't teach the little master to be a bully."
“lf today's events aren't clearly resolved, it won't be beneficial for the little master's growth."
He paused, speaking deliberately,slowly.
"l ask you, Lung, to have the little master apologize to Tiger!"
I stared at him, desperately trying to find traces of my husband on that unfamiliar face.
But l failed.
The Alpha Aqron who once loved me fiercely, who would fret for hours ifa mosquito bit me, might really have died at the border.
What returned to me was a man consumed by guilt and lust, a fraud!
" know exactly what my child is like.His future is not for a Beta like you to judge!"
I steeled myself.
lf he wanted t' play a role, l would match him step for step!
"similarly, you know exactly what kind of character your Tiger has!
“You!"
Alpha Aaron was momentarily speechless, clenching his teeth before squeezing the words out.
“lf you insist on this, Luna, l fear that Alpha Aaron will find no peace in the embrace of the Moon Goddess!"
He lifted his head, his eyes-the same as my husband's-fixed on me with a relentless intensity.
This wasn't a request; it was clearly an order!
Tiger, full of himself, looked at us triumphantly, while Serena shot me a strange smile from a place where no one else could see.
My blood boiled, rushing to my head.
Could he truly humiliate his own flesh and blood over an outsider's child, again and again?
