Pursuing My Rejected Alpha-Chapter 370 - 370 Pain Of Rejection

370 Pain Of Rejection

“Oh, that big fool,” Adele cursed under her breath.

She gave Ronan, Lucien, and the two babies each a kiss before she excused herself.

“Lucien, don’t worry,” she said while grabbing her son-in-law’s hand. “I am going to smack that alpha superiority idea out of his head. There is nothing wrong with our little girl. I cannot be a happier grandmother.”

Ronan’s mother then stomped off in search of her ridiculous husband.

Annalynne huffed angrily.

“What the hell?” she complained loudly.

As expected, she just had to vent her displeasure at the remaining Silverback in the room.

Glaring at Ronan, Annalynne said what she needed to say.

“Alpha Ronan, if your pack does not acknowledge non-alpha heirs, then give her to me. The Silent Walkers Pack is more than happy to raise this little bundle of blessing! We are not that arrogant to think that only alphas are worth anything!”

Ronan crossed his arms in front of his chest and growled at his sister-in-law.

“I will fight you if you dare to take my daughter away from me, Alpha Annalynne. I don’t give a crap about what others say about my daughter. For all I care, I will make her the heir to the Alpha position if need be!”

Hearing the harsh exchange between the adults, the babies abruptly began to cry.

“Oh no, don’t cry,” Annalynne hastily said. She wanted to take the baby girl, but Lucien stopped her.

“Let me,” he said in a protective tone that no one in their sane minds would dare to defy.

Lucien lifted his baby girl into his arms. As soon as the little girl was pressed against Lucien’s chest, she stopped crying right away.

“Sssh, my love,” Lucien placated the little girl in his arms with soft kisses. “Everything will be alright.”

Annalynne did not have similar luck with the baby boy. He screamed and trampled around wildly, overwhelming his aunt completely.

“Give him to me,” Ronan said.

In his father’s arms, probably suppressed by the Alpha’s aura, the baby calmed down right away. Held against his father’s shoulder, he blinked cutely at the people in the room.

The babies were happy and contented, but their parents were not.

Lucien looked extremely displeased with the way things turned out.

And all because one baby was not an alpha pup.

“I am sorry,” he said in an aggrieved tone. “The babies need to rest.”

That was the cue for the visitors to leave.

Alice gave her grandchildren a kiss each before she left with Gordon.

Annalynne could not bear to leave her brother behind.

“Lulu...?”

Lucien turned to look at his twin sister, who tugged at his arm in a spoiled manner.

“Lulu, I am here for you. Call me whenever you need me, okay? I will always be your sister. No matter what.”

Lucien smiled.

“Mm. Thanks, Anna.”

After Annalynne left, a deafening silence filled the apartment, only breached occasionally by the sounds that the babies made.

Lucien was awfully quiet, and Ronan did not like it even one bit.

The Alpha put his son inside the basket, then he hugged Lucien from behind and pressed a kiss on the latter’s nape.

“Baby, are you alright?”

In response, Lucien cuddled the little girl closer to his heart.

“I don’t know,” he said truthfully.

He was not okay, and he did not want to lie about it. Maybe he was too exhausted to lie.

Alpha families were used to welcoming only alpha pups in their midst.

If Lucien were not an alpha, the fact that one of their children was not an alpha might be more acceptable. They were both alpha werewolves, but the girl was not an alpha.

Born perfect the way she was according to her parents, but she was nevertheless of lesser birth in the eyes of the entire werewolf community.

“Baby, let’s talk. I know that you are upset.”

Ronan would rather have Lucien go crazy, and vent his anger at his father, than have him go quiet and keep it all to himself.

“We expected this,” Lucien answered, trying his best to maintain his composure.

They knew that if anyone was going to be repelled by the news, it would be none other than Dane Silverback.

“We can’t change your father’s opinion.”

Or anyone else’s for that matter.

Ronan sighed. He tightened his embrace around Lucien’s slender frame and whispered, “I am serious, Lulu. I will lay down the Alpha position at her feet if need be.”

If that was all it took for the pack to acknowledge the child, Ronan would go against the tradition. Their daughter was going to be the first Alpha without actually being an alpha werewolf.

Screw all those who dared to go against his decision.

Lucien scoffed.

“Don’t be ridiculous,” he said. “You are not going to take away Rayden’s birthright and hand it over to Aria.”

Ronan’s lips curled up into a smile when he heard the baby names that they had discussed among themselves in the past week.

“Have you decided to give them these names, then?”

“Mmm.”

Lucien handed their baby girl to Ronan while he picked up their baby boy from the basket.

“Rayden and Aria Silverback. How do you like your names, little sweethearts?”

The babies broke into a round of giggles in unison.

“I guess that’s a yes,” Ronan said.

He pinched Lucien’s chin and pressed a loving kiss on his Luna’s lips.

“Let’s announce their names tomorrow, then.”

“Sure.”

“For now, they need to take their naps.”

“Yeah.”

From today on, two babysitters would come to help the Alpha and Luna with their children. Ronan and Lucien could finally start sleeping at night. They both could use some. Taking care of two babies without help was surprisingly exhausting.

Maya Greenwood had offered her service as babysitter enthusiastically, but Lucien reminded her that she was a budding young artist with a lot of prospects. She had better things to do than say, take care of their babies.

Knock, knock, knock.

“It’s them,” Lucien said. “Ronan, open the door, will you?”

“At your service, Luna,” Ronan chuckled as he marched toward the door.

Ronan expected the babysitters to be standing outside, waiting to tend to the babies.

When he opened the door, the person he came face-to-face with was not a babysitter but his father, Dane Silverback.
