358 The Ideal Man For Annalynne

Kinnon heaved a long sigh.

He clasped his hands together on the table and looked straight into Annalynne’s eyes.

“Anna, you are a beautiful and smart woman. Any man would be lucky to have you.”

“Thanks, I know that. Stop beating around the bush and tell me the truth.”

“...”

Kinnon leaned backward and put an arm around the long sofa that he was sitting on.

The pair of caramel-golden eyes that greatly resembled Lucien’s shone with determination.

But that was not all there was.

Judging from the slightly trembling hands that the owner pressed against the table, this conversation must be a difficult one for her.

.....

And yet, if it could grant her some sense of closure, then Kinnon did not mind ripping the bandaid and exposing the wound, once and for all.

“It’s not that you are inferior to Lucien in any way.”

That was one thing that Kinnon should have clarified a long time ago, but did not.

“I have loved him from the moment I laid my eyes on him at the Alpha Camp. It does not matter whether he looks my way or not. He will always have a place in my heart and no one can take it away from him.”

Annalynne’s eyelashes fluttered in distress.

She knew that, but it still hurt to know that she never had a chance to win against Lucien at all.

It was as if Lucien was in a completely different league.

And that although they were born only seconds apart from each other.

“Is it because he is so good-looking?” Annalynne heard herself asking.

She knew that Lucien was more attractive than she was. It was a fact. A lot of people said that.

Kinnon smiled.

“... Or maybe because he is so capable and dependable...?

Annalynne felt stupid for asking.

Between them, of course she was the inferior twin.

Lucien was more beautiful.

Annalynne was largely dependent on her brother.

When a problem arose, the first person that Annalynne called was Lucien.

It was because she knew for sure that Lucien could solve her every problem.

“No, Anna,” Kinnon softly replied. “You are you and Lucien is Lucien. There is no need to compare the two of you at all. All I can say is that I love him.”

He placed his hands on top of Annalynne’s cold ones.

“I am sorry but I do not love you. Not the way a man is supposed to love you.”

Annalynne took a deep breath. Tears glistened in her eyes, but for some reason, she was relieved. Kinnon’s words were like a thunderstorm that washed over her.

It destroyed every bit of hope and love that she harbored for the man, but at the same time, it also extinguished the painful anguish in her heart.

“Lulu is a lucky man,” she muttered. “The two strongest Alphas in the continent vied for his hand.”

Kinnon’s lips curled up into a smile.

Lucien might be a lucky man indeed, but in the end, the one he chose was luckier.

In this case, it was Ronan Silverback.

If there was anything that Kinnon disliked about Lucien, then it was the strong love that he had for Ronan.

Kinnon knew that just like Annalynne was unable to replace Lucien in his heart, Kinnon too was unable to replace Ronan in Lucien’s heart.

Lucien fell in love one time, and his feelings never wavered.

Kinnon rose to his feet and leaned over the table to give Annalynne a gentle kiss on her forehead.

“I am lucky to be at the receiving end of your affection for so long. Unfortunately, I am not lucky enough to have you.”

Annalynne scoffed.

“You are right. You do not deserve me at all.”

“I don’t,” Kinnon agreed. “But someone does, correct?”

Annalynne pressed her lips together.

“Yes,” she said shyly.

Annalynne had always thought that Kinnon was his type.

Strong, mature, and handsome.

Kinnon was the most popular alpha at the Alpha Camp.

Even more than that annoying guy, Ronan Silverback.

Annalynne used to think that Lucien was stupid for rejecting Kinnon. On the other hand, she was also grateful for it.

Even after Kinnon blatantly rejected her, Annalynne did not stop looking for Kinnon’s shadow in other men around her.

Until Lowell came around.

Lowell was a magnificent man. He too was strong, mature, and handsome, but he was different from Kinnon.

Lowell had a gentler and more agreeable temperament. He always put up with Annalynne’s childish temper. He was there for her when she needed him the most.

He cherished and respected her.

After months of dating, Annalynne’s idea of a perfect partner had miraculously shifted from Kinnon to Lowell.

At the current time, Annalynne did not think that she could live without Lowell anymore.

She loved Lowell dearly.

And Lowell loved her in her ugliest state, in the most deprecating circumstances.

Unwittingly, a beautiful smile laced Annalynne’s lips, making her glow.

Lowell’s love made her more beautiful than ever.

“I am glad that the scar heals up well,” Kinnon remarked.

Annalynne pressed a hand against her cheek in response.

“Yes,” she said.

Anyway, she did not undergo plastic surgery because Lowell asked her to. She just wanted to look pretty again for her boyfriend.

Lucien came back half an hour later with a huge trolley full of food.

The restaurant was so impressed by this massive order that the owner itself came personally to greet Lucien, the big spender.

In the end, most of it was packed neatly and taken back to the Silent Walkers Pack House to distribute to the pack members.

“Glad that we settled the issue,” Lucien said.

He extended his hand toward Kinnon.

“See you again, Alpha Kinnon.”

Kinnon took Lucien’s hand, but he did not let go.

“Lucien, can we talk?” he asked.

“Just the two of us.”

Lucien nodded.

He turned to his sister and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Anna, go back without me first. I will come home a little later.”
