Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 17

“Mommy, watch me!” Liam’s enthusiastic cry rang out as he gleefully descended the slide, his

infectious laughter filling the air.

Daisy, standing by her mother’s side with Nathan, contentedly sucked on a loll*pop, her eyes fixed on

her brother’s playtime adventures. Earlier that morning, Nathan had arrived and taken on the role of

chauffeur, driving the trio around town. They embarked on a leisurely walk to explore their new

neighborhood, ran errands, and subsequently returned home. Their outing culminated in a visit to the

nearby park, where they currently enjoyed the lovely day.

Hazel couldn’t help but smile warmly as she watched Liam interact and play with the other kids in the

park. His laughter and excitement were palpable, a testament to the joy of the moment. Nearby, Nathan

sat with Daisy, engaging in small games to keep her entertained. Daisy’s occasional bursts of delight

added to the cheerful ambiance.

“Yay, you win again,” Nathan exclaimed, his voice filled with happiness, acknowledging Daisy’s victory

in their little games. As Hazel watched her daughter, a sense of hope filled her heart, wishing for the

day when Daisy would regain her health and freely join in the spirited play of other children.

Nathan, exuding affection, leaned in closer to Daisy and spoke to her in a gentle tone, “You are one

smart pup, you know.” His hand lovingly stroked her hair, offering comfort and warmth during this

cherished family moment at the park

Hazel’s acute instincts sent a shiver down her spine as she sensed unshakable feeling of being

watched. She glanced around, her eyes darting in search of the source of her unease. The sensation

was persistent, as if an invisible presence lingered nearby, observing her every move. She couldn’t

help but entertain the thought that, given her position as former Luna of the largest pack, someone

might have indeed caught sight of her and become intrigued by her presence.

Nathan noticed her sudden alertness and asked with genuine concern, “Is everything alright, Hazel?”

She tried to dispel her unease and responded, “Yes, it’s fine. Let’s just head home now, please. There’s

still a lot to do around the house

Nathan nodded in agreement, saying, “Alright then.”

Calling for Liam, Hazel decided it was time to leave the park. “Liam, let’s go home now.” She reached

for Daisy’s small hand, and the four of them walked together, hand in hand, making their way back

home.

Upon returning home, the kids eagerly rushed to the living room, immediately turning on the TV to

unwind and relax. Meanwhile, Hazel stood by the door to bid farewell to Nathan, her gratitude evident

in her words.

“Thank you so much for today, for everything,” she expressed sincerely.

“No problem,” Nathan replied, his gaze lingering on Hazel for a moment. The more time he spent with

her and her children, the stronger his desire to become a part of their lives grew. He felt a pang of

sadness as he contemplated returning to his own home, realizing that to Hazel, he was merely a man

she was immensely grateful to for saving her life that fateful night.

“Goodnight, Hazel,” he said before turning to leave, his heart heavy with longing,

Later that evening, while Hazel bathed and washed Liam’s hair, the young boy inquired about school

for the following day.

“Mommy, do I have to go to school tomorrow?” Liam asked.

Hazel replied, “Yes, honey.”

“And Daisy too?” he inquired further.

“No, Daisy’s coming with me to the hospital.”

In a playful attempt to avoid school, Liam put on his most persuasive act, imploring, “Aww, can I come?

Please, mommy, please,” as he clasped his hands together with puppy eyes that were hard to resist.

Hazel sighed, toweling him dry, and gave in, “Can I come with you guys?” Liam persisted.

“Okay, fine,” Hazel relented with a sigh. “But tomorrow, we’ll get you registered in school. Alright?”

Liam nodded eagerly, grateful for his mother’s understanding. Hazel patted him lightly and encouraged

him to go watch TV.

Daisy, come for your bath, Hazel called out to her daughter..

Daisy, visibly tired and yawning, obeyed and made her way to the bathroom.

The following morning, Hazel diligently prepared her kids for their day’s activities. After their refreshing

baths, the family gathered around the

dining table to enjoy a simple breakfast of cereals, sharing stories and laughter. The anticipation of the

day ahead filled the air as they discussed. their plans.

With their bellies filled, they left their apartment and made their way to the elevator, Just as they were

about to embark on their adventure, Hazel’s phone chimed with a text message from Nathan. He had

arranged for a driver to pick them up and accompany them throughout the day. Hazel breathed a sigh

of relief, thankful for his considerate gesture.

The sleek car pulled up in front of their building, and to her pleasant surprise, the vehicle was equipped

with two child seats for Liam and Daisy. As they settled into the comfortable car seats, the driver

skillfully navigated through the bustling city streets, taking them to the kindergarten that Nathan had

recommended. It was conveniently located. in the heart of the city, ensuring a short commute.

Sitting in the car, surrounded by the familiar streets of the city, Hazel couldn’t help but feel a sense of

déjà vu. Memories of driving through these very streets with her ex-husband flashed before her eyes.

She pushed those thoughts aside, reminding herself that Ethan was now married to Bella.

A fleeting smile crossed her l*ps as she glanced at her children, Daisy’s excitement palpable, she loved

school. Liam, not so much. He sat with a small frown plastered on his face. The frown looked very

much like that of his father’s. The car eventually came to a stop in front of a colorful and cheerful

building named “Tiny Tots.” With a sense of determination and hope for her children’s future, they

walked into the school, making inquiries, and eventually registering both Liam and Daisy for their new

educational journey at Tiny Tots.

They are currently at an establishment named Tiny Tots. She’s enrolling them here I believe.” Michael,

the man Axel had employed to update on Hazel’s whereabouts, informed him over the phone.

“Okay, Axel replied, conveying the information to his boss. Ethan sat in

his office, wearing a brooding frown as he perused the reports on his desk.

“Boss, she enrolled them at Tiny Tots Axel informed him.

Ethan’s frown vanished instantly, replaced with a small. knowing smile. Now that he knew the

whereabouts of Hazel’s children, he could find at measure of relief.

“You can have Michael back down now. Hazel must have sensed someone trailing her by now.” Ethan

knew that Hazel was likely aware of the surveillance and that the situation was precarious. However,

now that he knew the school his children attended, he was determined to see them again.

“And meet with the owners of that establishment. Make them an offer. Tesco Empire will be making a

new purchase,” he instructed Axel, his mind already set on a plan.

“But, keep it out of the news. And leave the original management,” he added.

Axel hesitated for a moment, his confusion apparent. Ever since his boss. met that woman at the

airport, he had been behaving irrationally.

“You want to purchase the school her kids attend?” Axel sought

clarification, raising a valid concern about the risk involved in meddling with a married woman’s affairs.

“Yes. Do you have a problem with it?” Ethan asked, his tone steady but holding an edge.

“No. But, Alpha, I was just worried. You’re getting involved with a married woman’s life, and it’s a bit

risky,” Axel advised, showing genuine concern. Ethan leaned back in his chair, contemplating Axel’s

words. Axel now responded to him not just as his boss but as the Alpha and the leader of their packs

which came with responsibilities towards their Luna, his wife. If word got out about what their Alpha

was up to, tracking and following a married woman, it could have dire consequences. Ethan had even

stationed someone near Hazel’s home, a fact Axel was well aware of.

Though Axel didn’t understand the dynamics of Ethan’s and the Luna’s marriage, he was aware that

the Alpha was once married and divorced before finding his true mate, Bella.

Ethan paused for a moment, his thoughts drifting to Hazel’s children.

“That woman is my ex-wife,” he revealed, surprising Axel.

Axel’s eyes widened in shock. He hadn’t met Hazel, as he was abroad for his schooling when she was

part of the pack. However, he had heard that the Alpha had been married and divorced. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Are her kids yours? Is that why her kids look so much like you?” Axel inquired, seeking answers to the

obvious resemblance.

“They’re not mine,” Ethan’ replied sadly, his emotions laid bare for the first time. “Still, I can’t help but

want to be sure those kids are fine. It’s not my place. I’m nob*dy to them, but I can’t help but be

curious. For some reason, I want to protect those kids,” Ethan said, giving a small, melancholic smile

that was foreign coming from him.

Axel stood transfixed, witnessing a side of his boss that he had never seen before. For over four years,

he had worked closely with Ethan, and this was the very first time he had seen his emotions displayed

so openly. Ethan’s eyes looked remarkably soft as he thought about Hazel’s children.

“I have no rights. I’m nob*dy to Hazel, but her kids… Ethan trailed off with a sigh. “I can’t help it,” he

added, his voice breaking softly.

Axel remained silent, not knowing how to respond to this unexpected revelation from his boss.

“I’ll stop now. It’s not my place. Purchasing the school is enough. Just do that alone, and I’ll back

down,” Ethan declared, abruptly shifting back to his usual businesslike demeanor. He had made a

decision, and it was time to act on it.

Axel bowed respectfully and turned to leave, understanding that Ethan’s emotions were a sensitive

subject. “Axel, make sure word does not get out, especially to the Luna,” Ethan cautioned, emphasizing

the need for discretion.

As soon as Axel exited the office, he placed a call. “Tiny Tots Kindergarten, a private establishment…

Find the owners,” he instructed into the phone, setting in motion the plan to purchase the school that

Hazel’s children attended while keeping it all under wraps.
