My Alpha's Wolfless Daughter
My Alpha’s Wolfless Daughter – Chapter 73

Luna Ayla

After ensuring my alpha was feeling better about having my ex here, we showered and headed down for dinner. I slept all night and morning after marking Nate and shifting. As we walked into the dining room, I noticed all my boys and Xander sitting at a table together. Nate’s chest rumbled and I giggled, squeezing his hand. I can’t be mad because I know I would feel the same way.

“Wuna,” I heard Violet squeal. She fought through the crowd of people. I kneeled as she rushed over to me, jumping and wrapping her little arms around my neck. She hit me with such force, I fell back on my butt. We were both laughing as I squeezed her tight.

“Violet, be gentle,” I heard Melanie scold her.

“It’s okay, I’m all healed,” I told her and Violet’s face lit up.

“We can go swimming,” she squealed.

“Violet, it’s getting late,” her mother said.

“But mommy,” she whined with a pout.

“If I show you something special, will you wait until tomorrow to go swimming with me?” I asked her. She bobbed her head in nods.

“Okay, watch my arm,” I forced scales to cover one of my forearms. I heard gasps from all around the room as I watched Violet’s face.

“Pweety,” she gasped, reaching her tiny hand out, touching the black and purple scales.

“Would you like one?’ I whispered and she grinned, nodding her little head.

“Which one is your favorite?” I asked and she pointed to one that was the most purple. I pulled it out, trying not to make a sound as pain rippled up my arm.

“There you go, sweetie,” I handed her the scale before bringing my forearm to my mouth to clean up the b***d.

She squealed, holding the scale to her chest before jumping into my arms again. I squeezed her tightly.

“Thank you, Wuna. I wove you,” she said, kissing my cheek.

“Now, can you go to bed for your mommy?” I asked her, with a firm look.

“Okay, but can I show Daddy first?” She pleaded with her big blue eyes. Man, this kid was good. I feel like I could give her the Western kingdom if she asked for it.

“Let’s go show Daddy,” Melanie said, saving me. Violet hugged me tight one more time before running back to her mother.

I forced my scales back before taking Nate’s waiting hand. He pulled me up, pulling me firmly against his body, with an arm around my waist.

“I lied,” he whispered, causing my body to stiffen.

“Lied?” I stammered, my heart sinking.

“You get six months. I can’t wait a year,” he said, bringing my forearm to his lips and licking the b***d that had pooled. I smirked, shaking my head.

“Have you met me? There is no way I can get my s**t together in six months,” I exclaimed, before laughing.

“Maybe, but you’ll be an amazing mother,” he purred, leaning into my ear.

“Maybe, but I like that I can give them back,” I giggled.

“Fine, but I won’t let this go, “ he sighed, his breath on my neck caused me to shiver.

“Can you at least feed me while you pout?” I cooed, grabbing his cheeks and pecking his lips. Nate took my hand and led me over to the table where the boys were sitting.

“Nate, why do you look like she just kicked your puppy?” Xander chuckled. I smiled as I gave everyone a k**s on the cheek. I was glad that Nate and Xander were getting along. I took a seat beside Xander and Nate sat down beside me. The other three were sitting across from us.

“Ignore him. He wants a baby,” I chuckled, rolling my eyes. All eyes snapped at me as the table went silent.

“Isn’t it a little early for the baby talk?” Silas asked.

“Well, Silas, when two people love each other, they get naked and..” I didn’t get to finish as the entire table g*****d, making me chuckle.

“Yeah, I know how babies are made,” he exclaimed.

“Are you sure? Did you see enough of the king and queen?” His cringing made me laugh so hard, I had tears in my eyes.

“I think you broke him?” Xander chuckled as we watched Silas’ face go through a variety of emotions. After my laughs calmed down, I looked around the table.

“I just want to make this clear. When Nate and I do decide to have kids, it’s our decision. Not the kingdoms or the packs, ours.” I told them firmly.

“Six months,” Nate exclaimed and I elbowed him in the ribs, causing him to g***n.

“Who was the little girl?” Kaden asked, changing the subject.

“A member of our pack. She also loves mermaids. So be careful, she may claim one of you,” I giggled.

“Do you understand what giving her one of your scales means?” He questioned and my face fell. Is it bad that I gave her a scale?

“Kaden, stop. It means the scale will never lose its lustre. When scales are taken, they will eventually dull and crumble. That won’t happen with hers,” Chase explained.

“Couldn’t you have just said that, Kaden? I thought the worst,” I breathed out. He just shrugged. I shouldn’t have mentioned babies. I know I would be hurt if he was talking about babies with someone else.

“I’m sorry, Kaden. I should have said anything,” I sighed. He stared at me until Nate growled.

“How is that fair? I’m not hiding our relationship because he can’t handle it!”

“She’s yours because of the mate bond!” Kaden retorted.

“Enough,” I screamed and the entire room stopped.

“Can you both just try to get along? f**k,” I yelled, standing up. I left the dining room. I was no longer hungry and I needed a moment by myself.

I can see why the goddess needed a bridge. Mermaids and wolves are just so different.

“I understand both sides,” Kaia chimed in.

“How the hell am I going to work with my ex and make my mate happy?” I asked in despair. I made my way out of the pack house and towards the ocean.

“I wish I could answer that. I know you care about Kaden but you’re in love with our mate,” she sighed.

“Is it only because of the mate bond?” I asked her.

“The mate bond brings two soulmates together. Even without the bond, Nate would still be our soulmate.” She explained. The universe has to be playing a cruel joke on me. It knew Nate would be my mate, but it made me and Kaden cross paths. And then I fell in love with him. But am I still in love with him? Or do I just not want to see him hurt? But then if he still loved me, wouldn’t he want to see me happy? I’m happy with Nate.

Ryan rushed over to me as I looked out into the bay. I let out a gasp.

“Luna?” Ryan called out, but I ignored him.

“Mom?”
