Chapter 47 She's Just My Employee!
"They..."
Suddenly, John whispered something in Alpha Gerald's ear, "Alpha Gerald, shouldn't we hide Mrs Jenny's identity for now, considering her condition? Mrs Jenny still has no memory, and young master Alex is still too weak! I'm worried they will take advantage of this! We don't know the true intentions behind the elders' arrival, do we? It's better to be cautious so that Mrs Jenny doesn't get hurt. What do you think?"
Alpha Gerald turned to Beta John, "You're right! Let's try your way! We'll reveal the truth once her condition is stable."
Beta John nodded firmly. "Hmm!"
"What are you talking about? Are you trying to plan something?" asked one of the elders who had not spoken before.
"Ahem!" Alpha Gerald cleared his throat before finally speaking.
"You guys are overreacting! John and I are discussing business, including getting rid of the cheap gossip you've been hearing!" Gerald exclaimed again.
"So, what do you mean, Alpha? Who are these two people?" asked the fourth elder, finally speaking up.
Alpha Gerald leaned back on the sofa, resting his hands on the headrest.
"Is this really that important to you, huh? Why don't you just sit nicely where you are, accept my help every month, take care of your own business, and not meddle in mine? Can't you do that?" asked Alpha Gerald, slightly annoyed.
"Sorry, Alpha Gerald, but your business also concerns all of us. After all, we are part of you, we are your pack! So we need to know the truth too. If she is our Luna, then we must celebrate a series of ceremonies to introduce our Luna to our pack, especially if that pup is your heir!" exclaimed the first elder.
Gerald growled, glaring at the elders. His grey eyes began to glow brightly, making everyone present feel fear.
"You dare to force me, pressure me? Huh?" Gerald shouted as he stood up.
The elders were a little scared to see the Alpha looking angry.
"Sorry, Alpha, we don't dare? We just want to protect you. Some pack members are wondering, especially since the news has gone viral. This is really not good for us! We understand that you have been searching for your wife, Luna Jenny, for a long time, and it seems that this woman looks very similar... we don't want you... because of that resemblance, she has become our Luna. And whether she is worthy of being our Luna or not needs to be proven. You need a strong Luna by your side, Alpha Gerald!" said one of the elders, who seemed to be the senior one—the first elder.
Alpha Gerald turned back, walking closer.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Alpha Gerald.
"If she is indeed Luna Jenny who has returned, then there's no problem! We must quickly ask her to heal you! Remember your curse; it can only be healed by your true love and the help of that black stone! Your time is running out, My Alpha. But if she is not Luna Jenny, then we intend to find you a stronger mate
to accompany you, and we will help cure your curse with union and... a few drops of blue water that we found, which we believe can cure your curse, Alpha Gerald. You will soon turn 35, and the rest of your life..." said the elder.
Alpha Gerald stepped back and laughed, "Ah, so that's why you came here? Not just to ask about that viral news story? Let me guess, you're going to force me to find another partner like you did before, marrying me off to Jenny against my will, under the pretext of curing me, is that it? Huh? You're disgusting! You hope that by replacing my partner, I can fall in love like I fell in love with Jenny, is that it? No! I only love Jenny! And my partner will always be Jenny alone! My true Luna is only her! As a werewolf, I will only be faithful and I can only have one partner, Jenny! No one else! As for my curse, that's my business! You don't need to interfere! You've interfered enough, but not this time! You can leave this house if there's nothing else you want to say!" Alpha Gerald stood up and closed his eyes. His chest began to hurt again. 'Ah, damn, why did this illness come back at such an inopportune moment? I mustn't appear weak in front of them! No!'
Alpha Gerald strolled, his head held high, and approached John, whispering, "John, tell them to leave. Prepare their return, using my helicopter if necessary! I need to rest. This illness... is starting to flare up again! I don't want them to see me looking weak! Hurry!"
"Yes, Alpha Gerald! You rest!" John exclaimed, looking worried as he saw Alpha Gerald enduring the pain.
"Excuse me, Elders, you can leave now! Alpha Gerald has asked you to leave this room, please? I will take you there, the helicopter is ready on the penthouse roof! Shall we?" John said politely, extending his hand to ask the four elders to leave the living room immediately, gently ushering them out.
"You're kicking us out? You're kicking us out, Alpha Gerald? But… you haven't answered our questions! Who are those woman and the little girl? You can't kick us out without answering our questions! If it’s not Luna Jenny, why did you let her stay here with you? Does that mean she is Mrs Jenny? And the little child is your child! If that is true, we are happy for you, Alpha Gerald, but the child must be proven first. Is she really your child, or not?? We brought a drop of blue water that can prove it... so..." the elders continued.
Gerald turned to face them again, cutting them off sharply.
"Silence!!! I told you it's none of your business! She's not Jenny! She's Jennifer, one of my employees, my secretary. We have no relationship whatsoever! I'm just helping her! And because she doesn't have a place to stay, and her child is sick, I'm letting her stay here! Nothing more! Do you understand? Get out of here now!" Gerald growled menacingly, prompting John to ask them to leave the living room quickly.
Alpha Gerald turned around and then…
CRASH!
Somebody spilled a glass of milk on the floor.
