Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

Chapter 326 - 326 The Alpha Was Getting Pampered

326 The Alpha Was Getting Pampered

Ronan’s question was like a dagger that hit right in the middle of the target board.

Lowell’s facial color changed from red to purple then white in quick succession.

If the man did not know better, he would think that Ronan’s Alpha Voice worked on him.

“Four months ago on Valentine’s day,” Annalynne’s boyfriend finally confessed. “We have been very careful about making sure that our scents don’t stick.”

Ronan scoffed.

Being a man who had his fair share of adventures, he knew that Lowell bedded Annalynne months ago.

Besides, with Annalynne’s personality, why would she disallow herself the joy of pairing?

“And what is your intention toward Anna?” Ronan asked while pinning the man with a glare.

Lowell turned beet-red.

.....

“I... I wish to marry her.”

“Really? When?”

“... I... We don’t know yet.”

Ronan put down his wine glass and crossed his arms before his chest.

“Either you propose or you don’t. I don’t want Lucien to be worried sick about his sister, should you get her pregnant with your pup.”

“She isn’t!” Lowell hastily said.

“Ah?”

Ronan gave the man in front of him a sneer. “So you had a pregnancy scare.”

Lowell closed his eyes and sighed heavily before he further confessed, “... The condom broke. But now she’s on pills.”

Wow.

So much for Lucien’s innocent twin sister.

If Lucien knew, what exactly would he do?

Because he loved his sister so much, he would refuse any suggestion that Annalynne willingly slept with Lowell.

Maybe it was not Ronan but Lowell who was about to get castrated soon.

Ronan had to look away to prevent Lowell from seeing the schadenfreude on his face.

Annalynne, oh, Annalynne...

A wicked plan manifested itself in Ronan’s mind. Maybe it was not a bad idea at all to let Annalynne and Lowell come with them to the romantic cruise vacation.

“Look, you and I are with our beautiful lovers on a luxurious cruise ship,” Ronan pointed out. “Their birthday night is in three nights. I would love to make love to my Luna all night. Undisturbed.”

“...”

Lowell was speechless due to Ronan’s brutal honesty.

“Don’t you want the same?”

Lowell cleared his throat.

Of course, he did.

“Yes, but Anna is very adamant about spending the night with her brother. I can do nothing to persuade her.”

Ronan cocked his head to the side.

“You will think of something, won’t you? It might be good to tell Lucien that he no longer has to safeguard his sister’s virginity. It was lost months ago.”

Lowell swallowed hard.

He knew what Ronan was trying to say. Either Annalynne confessed that she slept with Lowell months ago, or Ronan would rat them out.

That was not very gentlemanly of him at all.

“I... I will talk to Anna,” Lowell said while curling his fingers into fists.

Ronan smiled.

“Do that.”

“If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”

Lowell turned on his heels to walk away from Ronan. He needed to think about the best way to tell Annalynne the bad news.

He stopped in his track when he heard Ronan’s smooth voice calling after him again.

“Oh, and Lowell?”

“Y-yes?”

Lowell turned his head to face Ronan.

Leaning against the balcony railing in a relaxed pose with the bright lamps from the lower decks as his backdrop, the Alpha looked especially terrifying.

“You have taken my sister-in-law’s chastity. I expect you to do the right thing and propose to her as soon as we get off this ship. The Holy Temple of The Moon Goddess shall decide when you two shall be wed.”

“I-I understand.”

Ronan chuckled when Lowell escaped from the balcony without wasting any more seconds of his life.

Annalynne monopolized Lucien for the rest of the night.

For once since they embarked on the cruise, Ronan did not mind. He even passed Annalynne smiles on a few occasions, giving the woman goosebumps.

She knew that something was up, but she didn’t know what.

Lowell sat on the living room couch, pale with fright.

When the clock hit 11 PM, they decided that they should go to sleep.

The ship was going to dock at a port tomorrow, and passengers were allowed to visit the town for a few hours.

Annalynne and Lucien went to their master bedroom. Ronan and Lowell exchanged nods before they each went to the smaller bedrooms.

Despite the comfortable bed, the fresh and cool air, and the lulling sound of the ocean waves, the Alpha was unable to fall asleep.

He tossed and turned on the bed in irritation.

For months now, he slept with his arms wrapped around his mate.

It felt unusual to sleep alone.

He needed Lucien.

He needed his soft and warm body.

He wanted to smell his orange and honey scent.

Ronan groaned and rubbed at his temples.

This addiction was torturous.

Ronan glared at the fluorescent clock that hung in his bedroom.

2 AM.

Really?

He had been rolling around for three hours and he did not even get a wink of sleep!

Just as Ronan was hurling curses at Annalynne in his head for occupying the bed that was reserved for him, he heard the sound of his bedroom door opening.

Ronan craned his head toward the entrance and saw someone standing at the door.

It was Lucien.

“Lulu?”

“You are still awake, I see,” Lucien chuckled.

He then approached the bed and sat at the edge.

Ronan swiftly pulled Lucien into his arms and buried his nose into the man’s neck.

“Ahhh,” he moaned when Lucien’s scent entered his lungs. “I need you to fall asleep, Lulu...”

“I know,” Lucien said. “I had to wait until Anna fall asleep. Here, I brought you something.”

The man shook a small bottle in front of Ronan’s face.

.....

“What’s that?”

Ronan turned on the night lamp and narrowed his eyes at the bottle in Lucien’s hand.

“It is lavender oil. It can help with sleep.”

“Ah?”

Lucien rolled the sleeves of his pajamas up.

“Take off your shirt and lie on your stomach. I will give you a massage.”

“Oh?”

Ronan did not need to be asked twice. He took off his shirt and obediently lay on his stomach.

His eyes sparkled with expectation when Lucien climbed on his back and sat on his firm ass.
