Chapter 20 Chapter 20
(Alpha Andrew's POV):
Steven's eyes widen in shock when he heard my mother's inquiry as he glanced between me and my mother. "Yes, Luna. I saw her. She was skinny, and it was a miracle that she didn't die from Alpha Andrew's rut."
"Andrew, what the hell went wrong with you? Didn't you fear she could have died and you would have been arrested and investigated?" Mom inquired worriedly as she stared at me sadly.
"Thanks to the moon goddess, the human girl survived. Mom, can you let this matter go? I don't want to discuss this human girl. I already told you I paid the lady, and we cannot find her," I retorted.
Steven's eyes widened in shock as he understood that my mother wanted to search for the young lady.
"Nonsense!" Mom spat and said, "Since you know she was a human, why didn't you use protection? Why did you mate with her and ejaculate in her womb? Steven." Mom shifted her gaze to Steven and declared, "As your Luna, I order you to go back to the city and find that human girl. Ensure that she goes for screening and that she is not pregnant by Andrew's carelessness. If she is, ensure she terminates it. Do you understand?"
Steven stood, baffled, as he bowed to my mother. "Understood, Luna."
"Ensure you find the human girl. It's late now. By tomorrow morning before sunrise, you should set sail back to the city and find that girl no matter where she is. I know the hotel must have surveillance footage to reveal her identity. So go and look for her," Mom ordered, her tone firm.
"Got it, Luna," Steven replied before Mom dismissed him. "You can leave."
"Mom," I frowned at her. "This is a bit unnecessary. You are taking this too far and will raise suspicion in the human city."
"I cannot take the risk, Andrew." Mom turned to face me and retorted, "If you had accepted Zoey as your chosen mate or carried her along with you to the city when she begged to accompany you, none of this would have happened."
"Fine. Do as you please. I am not accepting to marry Zoey. My wolf doesn't want her." I turned and left the mansion, shutting the door behind me.
I mindlinked Steven. "Abort the mission."
"I'm sorry, Alpha Andrew. I cannot go against your mother."
"What? Steven, are you disobeying me?" I growled at him.
"Alpha, your mother is right. You shouldn't have mated with that skinny girl or slept with her without a condom. What if she gives birth to your babies? That will be disastrous if they shift in the human world. So I have to go," Steven replied firmly, and I was angry at him for his disobedience as he shut me from reconnecting to him through the mindlink.
"Fine. Go and search for her!" I growled at myself as Steven had already blocked me from connecting with him.
I didn't know why I was furious about it. At all of them.
I made a mistake, and that was not using protection.
Shaking my head, I tried not to think about the human, but Zion was worried about her.
"What if Steven hurts that skinny girl? He didn't like her to begin with," Zion pointed out, and my heart ached painfully.
"Steven wouldn't hurt her. Don't worry about the human. It's illegal to kill anyone in the city. If Steven does that, he would be arrested and sent to prison," I assured my wolf, but he didn't trust my judgment.
"You shouldn't have mated with that human girl. I warned you, but you went against me too. Now see the results!" My wolf growled at me and shut me out, and I couldn't believe he was angry about the human girl.
"Fine. You too can shut me out, Zion. I have work to do," I ignored my wolf and walked ahead to visit the places that I wanted to visit before any of this drama started.
Delta Commander Thomas Walker strode up to meet me as he wore a black top and trousers. His expression was laced with concern as he asked me, "Alpha Andrew, is anything the matter?"
"No. Nothing. I want to patrol the pack now that I am back. Get the car ready. Let's go," I ordered Thomas with a steady and calm voice as he bowed to me. He strode over to the parking and pulled the black sedan forward, since I have about five cars. I mostly use the sedan for patrolling the pack.
As I waited for Thomas to arrive with my car, Zoey rushed out of the house, wearing a diamond necklace around her neck as she smiled at me.
"Alpha Andrew, I got the present that you sent to me." She smiled, her fingers touching the beautiful, dazzling diamond necklace around her slender neck. The moonlight shone on it as the night had fallen.
"Nice to see that you like it. You should head home," I said, and Zoey frowned.
"Alpha Andrew, wait," she stopped me when I stepped down from the front of the house to stride to my car, just as Thomas arrived with the black sedan. Once he parked, he got out of the car and pulled the door open for me to enter.
"What is it?" I asked, turning to meet Zoey's frowned face.
"Alpha, I am not judging you for mating with a human. Please, I still want you to give me a chance," she begged, and I sighed and asked her calmly, "Have you found your mate? What happens when you find him?"
"I will reject him," she replied swiftly, as if she didn't want to be mated to anyone else except me. Zoey was beautiful, endowed, and curvy. She passed the Luna test, and my mother liked her, but Zion didn't like her. He felt on edge around her, like she was pretending to be nice on the surface, but deep in her heart, she had ulterior motives. You know, like a two-faced person.
"Zoey," I called her name softly. Her golden eyes locked with mine. "Do not waste your time on me or listening to my mother. As much as I like you, I do not want to go against my wolf for now and marry you. It will be disastrous for me if my wolf gets enraged and strangles you to death out of anger. I hope you can understand what kind of man I am. Zion is obsessed with finding his true mate, and only she can be my Luna."
Zoey's face fell as she lowered her head. But I was not done speaking to her. "I hope you can obey me as your Alpha and keep your distance from now on. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Alpha," Zoey replied sadly, but I didn't wait for any more conversation. I turned away from her and strode to my car. Once I hopped into the rear seat, Thomas shut the door and moved to the front of the car before he jumped into the driver's seat and ignited the engine.
"Where would you like to visit first, Alpha?" Thomas asked respectfully as he drove out of the palace.
"To the Infirmary. I still want to take a tour of the grand Hotel and other recreational areas," I replied calmly, my mind lost in deep thoughts about my sister's revelation.
I knew my sister always had scary dreams, and most of the time her dreams come to life.
Was it possible that I got that human girl pregnant? No way, I definitely hope not.
