Chapter 160 Oswald Can Also Be Nice?
“It’s great the fight is finally over. Didn’t it take a long time to cause trouble for what you’ll later agree on?” Luna Queen Lena chided Oswald with a glare.
However, seeing her softened and pleased expression, it’s vivid that Luna Queen Lena isn’t infuriated at all. Rather, her joy could be felt.
Immediately, Luna Queen Lena held my hands and engulfed me in such a warm hug—while being extremely careful because of Zierk—that I couldn't help but melt in joy.
Luna Queen Lena kissed my cheeks, cupped my cheeks, and smiled gently. “Filippa, I’m glad that you’re finally one of us now.” She conveyed in a soft and gentle tone.
Upon hearing this, my eyes crinkled and my lips curved up in glee. I'm also glad. Back then, when I saw Lorelei and Lena together, I didn't expect that it'd all switch so soon.
I carefully handed Zierk over to Wyatt. I licked my lower lip and bowed my head, a trail of embarrassment coursing through me. “I'm also happy, mom.” I bit my lower lip and twisted my hand before whispering in a low and tiny voice that was a result of my embarrassment. “I'm sorry for causing trouble…”
“No. No.” Alpha Hudson interjected in a calm voice. “It’s not your fault. It’s the fault of that mischievous alpha of yours. Besides…”
Alpha Hudson’s calm gaze fell on Oswald before landing on Wyatt and me. “It’s pretty obvious you both had a bond…”
My eyes widened and my lips parted in bewilderment. It was obvious to Alpha Hudson that Wyatt and I had a mate bond? How come? When did Alpha Hudson know?
It can be said that Alpha Hudson is the least person I interacted with since I stepped into the power axis pack, so I never expected him to know anything related to me. I have always believed that Alpha Hudson had just casually asked us the question back then. “You knew?” I tilted my head in astonishment.
Alpha Hudson nodded indifferently and leaned forward. “Hm. Wyatt admitted it through mind-link when he brought you in.” He revealed.
Upon hearing Alpha Hudson’s response, my jaw fell in shock.
It turns out. It turns out that when Wyatt and I responded no to Alpha Hudson the first day I was brought here, Wyatt already replied with a yes through mind-link.
A surge of embarrassment overwhelmed my being at the thought that Alpha Hudson must have believed that I was trying to hide the truth from everyone.
Immediately, I extended my hand and subtly pinched a certain person's waist while gritting my teeth. Wyatt's lips curved up in amusement, and he ruffled my hair in response.
So good! All those times I have always believed that Wyatt was innocent, it turned out that he's very calculating.
Saying one thing while meaning another—I don't know how many times I have slipped up. Poor me
Oswald wrapped his hands around me and engulfed me in a hug. He pulled my cheeks endearingly and interjected in a coaxing tone. “Hm. I'm the most innocent, baby.”
Instantly, my lips raised in a cold sneer, and I jabbed Oswald’s waist cruelly. Hmph, Oswald is the most innocent? Then pigs can fly! “You? Hmph! You are the biggest jerk.” I chided instantly.
My resting holidays. I mean, the holiday that was meant to sexually tease and provoke my defenseless Alphas finally ended yesterday.
And according to our preparation, I have to spend the day and the next day with Oswald.
Although I expected that this lustful jerk would go hard on me after all the sexual teasing and provocation I put him and Wyatt through, surprisingly, Oswald decided to introduce us to the Alpha's family today.
“Sigh. This reminds me of their childhood days. They bickered like this in the past, who knew they'd eventually end up together again? Only if things were like the past, how good would it be?” Natalie suddenly uttered in a low, brittle tone; a melancholic expression suddenly crept into her face, and her eyes seemed to pool with tears.
However, in the next second, she raised her head and flashed me a warm smile. Her expression was so calm that it gave me the illusion that her sadness was all my thinking.
I lowered my head, my mind spurning. I wonder if the past Natalie mentioned included Mom and Dad.
I wonder how close our family was for me to be able to know and play with them when I was a kid. And why couldn't I recall anything?
I wonder if Rex might... I paused my thoughts with a disparaging smile. I'm still thinking about Rex? Do I dare to think about Rex after all these days? In fact, I'm a very selfish person; whenever I needed a quick clarification of some sort, I ran to Rex first. Have I ever provided my shoulder for Rex? I'm so unworthy of him…
“The only one left is Asher; I wonder when Asher will find his mate.” Phoebe propped her head and sighed. “At this point, it's right to say that Asher's mate isn't in the pack. Perhaps you'd like to leave the pack to find...”
“No.” Asher leaned forward and interrupted calmly. “Even though Lorelei and the witch tribe are keeping quiet and have gone into hiding, we all know that they are doing what they know how to do best: building themselves and biding their time. Right now. The pack needs as much safety and strength. Mates can come later.” Asher's gaze was pinned on me so much as he finalized his words one after the other. My heart couldn't help skipping a beat.
Even though Asher's expression seems calm, somehow I seem to notice sadness oozing from him, and it left me exceptionally worried.
That's right. Asher hasn't found his mate and is the only singleton left among all of us. Definitely, I can't decipher what emotions must be coursing through him. I really hope he finds his mate soon.
PA
The sudden clapping of Lena's hands caught all of our attention. “We have been having a hard time, and every day there seems to be an endless pouring of problems, but today we are all taking a break. Nobody is leaving today...”
Oswald laid his head on my shoulder and interjected, “Hm. We can discuss our wedding…”
“Who says no wedding yet?” Finley's eyes landed on Oswald, and he chuckled in amusement.
“Well, we already won.” Oswald shamelessly responded with a Cheshire grin.

I gently patted Zeirk’s butt and smiled sheepishly while coaxing him to sleep. He's so adorable and obedient. Oswald and Wyatt stood next to me like loyal bodyguards. Haha. The domineering Lycan Alphas are my bodyguards.
Suddenly, Oswald wrapped his hands around me and softly coaxed, “Well, if Mom wants you to stay for the night. Agree.”
“Huh?” My lips unconsciously parted in bewilderment. Although everyone is retiring in the Alpha King’s mansion for the night, I already believe that I'm sharing the night with Oswald, but surprisingly, he is asking me to go to Luna Queen Lena to spend the night? Can Oswald be that nice?
I retracted my hands from Zeirk’s butt and brushed a bewildered glance with Wyatt. “I should agree?” I reiterated and eyed Oswald in bewilderment.
Surprisingly, Oswald is being nice today. Is Oswald asking me to retire for the night with his mom? Just like that? Turns out he loves Mom Lena a lot.
Upon thinking about the first time staying at Finley and Natalie's mansion, I can't help but exhale heavily while thinking that I'm very pitiful. Wyatt literally almost broke my bone! Immediately, I glared at Wyatt accusingly. Look. Hmph! Hmph! Even Oswald can be nice.
Immediately, Wyatt directed a sharp glare at Oswald. Oswald raised his hands and grinned in response. Wyatt's lips parted to say a word…
“Filippa, we are having our ladies' night; are you in?” Mom Lena walked toward us and interjected. Immediately, her eyes landed on Oswald and Wyatt before flashing me a warm smile. It was as if she was telling me that the ball was in my court and it was fine if I rejected her.
“Of course, Filippa has just told us how eager she was.” Oswald suddenly chimed in a boisterous voice.
My lips twitched and I blinked in astonishment. Why don't I recall saying that?
Before I could blink, Oswald already grabbed my shoulder and motioned me toward Mom Lena. “Goodnight Mom. Goodnight babe.” He placed a loud kiss on my lips and waved at me stunned with a grin.
“Goodnight wife.” Wyatt strode toward me and placed a soft kiss on my forehead and my lips. He ruffled my head and gently bid me goodnight. Everything happening within a few minutes
My eyes enlarged, and I blinked stupidly. Somehow this doesn't seem like a good feeling. Somehow something isn't right.
I knew how cunning Oswald was. I can't believe that he's letting me off just like that. I turned back and saw Oswald grinning and waving at me. My eyes contorted. Just like that? Really? Oswald really didn't grab me and stop me?
Lena laughed softly as if amused by my stunned and cautious reactions. She stared at me and elegantly asked me, “Shocked?”
For Lena to talk like this, I guess my shock was very evident. I bit my lower lip and turned back again as if to confirm that I wasn't being played a joke on. I pulled a strand of hair and stuttered, “It's just that Oswald…” Even though I didn't complete my sentence, I know Lena will understand what I meant.
Lena smiled, showcasing her beautiful and sparkling set of teeth. “I know. He can be very naughty but at the same time very caring. Does he treat you well?” The instant Mom Lena completed her words; the doorknob was twisted, and the guards positioned at the front of the room bowed to us politely.
I nodded and walked into the room while walking next to Luna Queen Lena. I nodded my head and responded sincerely. “Very much, mom.”
“And Wyatt?” Natalie arched her brows and patted the bed as if signifying that we could come on. “You don't have any fights, do you? If anything comes up, just come to us. We’ll scold those brats for you.” Natalie spoke and clenched her fists while feigning a fighting stance.
My heart turned warm and my lips unconsciously curved up. “Thank you, mom...”
‘Baby. I missed you.’ The sudden mind-link from Oswald made me so stunned that my lips parted. ‘Filippa I missed you. Baby, it's standing.’
