Chapter 29 My Kid's in Danger
Barry's POV:
"Barry, long time no see." The woman strutted over in high heels, her face lit up with a graceful and elegant smile.
"Ms. April Garcia!" I was totally floored, and I couldn't believe my eyes.
April was the dean's only daughter, spoiled since she was a kid. Her dad would do anything to get her what she wanted, except for the Alpha King.
April had done some pretty wild stuff because she was head over heels for the Alpha King. Her dad, worried she'd tick off the Alpha King and drag their family into trouble, shipped her off abroad to cool down and study.
For years, no matter how much trouble she stirred up overseas, they never brought her back. So why was she here now? Could it be that the Alpha King's new fiancée was her?
I had been wondering who could outshine Cecilia before. If it was her, it made sense. Her status was way higher than Cecilia's. With the powerful bloodline of the Wolf King, only she would be a match.
"Barry, why so formal after a few years? Just call me April like before. Thanks for helping my dad's hospital grow stronger over the years." April flashed me a warm and friendly smile.
Her words had definitely gotten smoother after a few years abroad. She used to be so arrogant, looking down on everyone. No wonder the Wolf King didn't fancy her back then.
"April, your father and I go way back; Of course, I take his matters to heart."
Even if I couldn't stand this girl in front of me, I had to play nice. If she really became the Wolf King's Luna, she could ruin me with just a word.
April's POV:
I looked at Barry, who was practically groveling, with disdain in my heart. I only showed him respect because he was still useful to my father.
Plus, I knew Silas hated arrogant werewolves, so even if I despised these lowly wolves, I had to suck it up and deal with them.
I came back this time to become Silas's new Luna. For years, I'd been praying abroad for Silas to dump that woman.
Now that my dream had come true, I didn't waste a second coming back. Even though Silas announced he had a new fiancée, I believed it was just a cover.
Silas was so strong and sexy. No other werewolf in the world was worthy of him except me. I was willing to give up everything to become his Luna.
These werewolves fawning over me just proved that, in their hearts, I was the most suitable Luna for the Alpha King.
Thinking about it, I already felt like I was being crowned as Luna, worshipped by all the wolves!
Seraphina's POV:
As I carried the laundry basket to the sterilization room, I saw a big group of werewolves surrounding a beautiful woman, heading to the dean's office.
Seeing that woman being treated like a celebrity, I couldn't help but laugh. Was she here to work or to walk the runway?
"Why is she back?" The nurse next to me asked, looking puzzled.
"Who is she?" I asked, curious since she seemed to know something.
The nurse replied, "April, the dean's daughter. She did a lot of crazy things because she was obsessed with the Alpha King and was sent abroad by the dean."
I didn't expect that Silas, that mad wolf, was quite the charmer. These women were all so eager for him. I couldn't help but feel a bit sorry. This young lady was beautiful and had a good background, but her taste was questionable. Besides being the Wolf King, what else was so great about Silas?
"She probably heard that the Alpha King broke up with his previous fiancée, so she came back." The nurse said, her eyes lighting up as she thought of something. She leaned in close to me, lowering her voice.
She added, "Do you think the mysterious new Luna could be April? After all, only her status matches the noble bloodline of the Wolf King."
Hearing this, I awkwardly smiled. I was afraid Silas's people would be disappointed. Their noble new Luna wasn't some prestigious young lady, but me, a mother with two kids.
Given April's obsession with Silas, if she found out I was his new fiancée, she'd definitely come after me. I needed to stay hidden and not let anyone find out.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Whoever it is, it won't be us. Let's get back to work." The nurse sighed in frustration and walked away.
I awkwardly scratched my neck and didn't say anything; I just followed her. But after a few steps, I felt this indescribable pain in my chest.
I stopped, clutching my chest. The pain didn't go away; it was joined by this intense unease, like a giant iron net wrapping around me.
The laundry basket in my hand fell to the ground, and clothes scattered everywhere.
My legs felt like jelly, and I had to lean against the wall to stay upright. But the overwhelming panic followed, making my blood scream with anxiety and fear!
My child!
My vision blurred with panic.
My child was in danger!
