Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

62 The Truth About The Night

Kinnon regarded Ronan with a cold look.

“Your father is a Werewolf Council member,” he pointed out. “I just finished making my statement. Go to your father and find out.”

Ronan closed the door behind him and slowly walked toward Kinnon.

“I don’t want to hear the marked-up version of the truth. I want to know exactly what happened last night.”

“I did not make up anything. What an outrageous accusation!”

The only reason why Kinnon’s anger was only heard in his voice and not in his action was the fact that he was badly wounded and could not stand up at all. Else he would have thrown Ronan out of his suite, and his hotel.

“Aha.”

Ronan chuckled. His eyes wandered to the thick bandages that peeked out of Kinnon’s clothes.

“Are you seriously trying to tell me that Lucien attacked you for no reason?”

.....

“It is none of your business,” Kinnon replied while looking away from Ronan.

“I can’t believe it,” Ronan’s voice gradually go higher as he pinned Kinnon with a scorching glare. “You don’t feel remorse for throwing him under the bus? And I thought you loved him.”

Kinnon snapped his head in Ronan’s direction.

“Watch your mouth. Who is throwing him under the bus?”

“Unless you tell the Council the real reason why Lucien suddenly attacked you, Lucien’s reputation will suffer from this incident!”

Kinnon clawed into the armrests. “I will never let it happen.”

“Then tell me what happened.”

Kinnon cut a smirk. “Spoken like Dane Silverback’s true son. You are every bit as pushy as your father. How is this any of your business?”

Ronan leaned in closer to Kinnon. “Lucien is my business.”

“Lucien is my betrothed!”

“He is also his own person!”

“Ronan, don’t get out of line!”

Ronan knew what Kinnon wanted to say. After their upcoming marriage was announced, it was fair to count Lucien as part of the Night Prowler Pack. That being said, Ronan had no business interfering in the Night Prowler Pack’s private matters.

Both Alphas took an imaginary step back. Ronan closed his eyes and inhaled a few times before he tried to talk to Kinnon again.

“Lucien is missing. I just want to find him and take him back home. If you want the same thing, then we should cooperate.”

The word “home” made Kinnon wonder which home Ronan was referring to. Nevertheless, the man in front of him had a point. His injuries paralyzed him. He was unable to go out there to search for Lucien. The Werewolf Council assembled a task force, but what did they know about Lucien? Nothing. By the time they found Lucien, it might be too late.

At this point the only person who could independently search for Lucien was Ronan.

Kinnon subtly nodded.

“We came back from the banquet and went into this suite to spend the night,” he started, gesturing toward the room.

“We are going to get married soon and it was a beautiful night, so I proposed to take our relationship to the next level.”

Ronan wished he did not have to be there to listen to Kinnon, but he had to. If he wanted to find Lucien.

“I wanted us to consummate our relationship and bind us to each other as mates.”

Ronan clenched his jaw and curled his fingers into fists. He did not know what his face looked like, but it was enough to put a smirk on Kinnon’s face.

“He agreed,” Kinnon said. “I would have accepted it if he rejected me, but he agreed anyway.”

Ronan did not know what hurt more. The knowledge that Kinnon asked to bed Lucien the previous night or the fact that Lucien agreed.

Ronan never thought that a day would come when Lucien’s enchanting body would be exposed to someone other than him. When another person would have the privilege to lay on top of Lucien and push inside him. And claim him as a mate.

Alone the thought was enough to make Ronan go berserk.

“And then?”

His voice sounded weird. Like that of a wounded animal.

Kinnon observed Ronan’s expression. He could see a lot of emotions that were reflected on the latter’s face. Rage and jealousy towered against one another in an attempt to take the upper hand.

“And then we got into the bed. Just before I entered him, it happened.”

The tension in Ronan’s body declined upon hearing Kinnon’s words.

They did not do it.

Lucien had not slept with Kinnon.

Ronan hated himself for caring that much, but it allowed him to shift his focus from his personal feelings to Lucien’s safety.

“We had all the lights turned off as per his request. I did not see it happen, but I still get goosebumps when I think about it.”

Kinnon furrowed his brows and rubbed at his arms subconsciously.

“He transformed very quickly. I did not have time to react at all. The next thing I knew, he had already torn at my body. Despite my injuries, I also transformed and tried to contain him.

Naturally, I failed.

After a while, he decided not to bother with me anymore and made his escape through the window.”

Kinnon turned his head to look at the wall window that the hotel personnel switched that very night before the police officers and firemen came to investigate the hotel.

After wounding Kinnon, Lucien in his wolf form rushed toward the wall window. The red recliner just happened to be standing in front of the thick glass plate, between Lucien and freedom.

Lucien slammed hard against the recliner, using it to shield him from the tiny pieces of shattered glass as he made his escape.

It all happened very quickly.

Kinnon saw the giant wolf disappear into the night, and then he lost consciousness from losing too much blood.

Ronan left after he heard the truth from Kinnon’s mouth. Once he got outside of the hotel, he punched hard at a tree. The innocent tree broke and fell onto the roadside, just as Ronan’s car pulled up to fetch the Alpha.
