Chapter 66: Chapter 66
Williams pov.
"What have I done? What have I gotten myself into that I have to make the biggest mistake of my life?"
After hearing what Henry told me, I haven't been myself. I couldn't believe I had a child all this while and I didn't know.
I sat in my office, refusing to come out or see anyone. But where could Sierra have gone with my child? Was she planning on harming my child?
I stood up quickly as that thought filled me with fear. What if she hurt the child?
Just as I was about to walk out of my office to go look for her, the door opened, only for Alex to walk in.
"What do you want?" I asked her, staring into her eyes as she walked over to me in a seductive way.
"What's wrong, Alpha? Aren't you happy to see your Luna?"
I looked at her, and just as I was about to walk out, she shut the door and leaned against it, looking at me.
"Get out of my way. I need to go look for my wife."
She smiled, moving closer to me as she placed her hands around my chest. I pushed her away.
"I don't have time for any of this, okay? All of this is your fault, and I have tried all possible means not to do anything stupid. But the more I see you, the more you get on my nerves. So I guess it's best you leave for now and don't do anything funny."
As I decided to walk again, she was still standing there, blocking my path, and that was already pissing me off.
"What makes you think the child is yours, Alpha? Have you not thought about it? Why would you be a father after four months when we all know well that you haven't even had any bond with her, except for the night she was crowned the Luna?"
Seeing her say that, for a moment, she had a point that I felt like believing her.
I gazed at her, desperately trying to disbelieve, but her words echoed repeatedly, sinking deeper into my mind. Each repetition threatened to drive me to the brink of madness.
Weary, I retreated to my office chair, sinking into it as I pondered my next move. The truth eluded me, ascertaining whether she truly carried my child or if it belonged to Henry, a lingering uncertainty.
Lost in thought, I suddenly felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I turned to see Alex, wearing a disarming smile. Instantly, I recoiled, pushing her hand away and rising to confront her.
"Why are you still here?" I bellowed, my anger palpable.
"Perhaps my presence displeases you?" she replied, her words laced with feigned innocence.
Dragging her by the hands, I approached the door while she cried out in pain, desperate to break free from my grip.
"You need not endure this treatment, Alpha. I am your Luna, for the Goddess's sake."
I spun her around, my face etched with fury.
"I never consented to you becoming my Luna. I have suffered in silence for far too long. Soon, I will uncover the true identity of the child's father, and when I unveil the truth, your existence shall become a living nightmare."
"But you cannot, for everyone knows the child is yours. Moreover, it was you who took its life. The blame lies solely on your shoulders. Yet, I chose to fabricate a lie, placing it upon Sierra, all because I love you. I understand you do not recall the night we forged our bond, but as I have said, you were intoxicated. It was not your fault."
As her hand reached for my face, I seized it, forcefully pushing it down. With the door swung open, I propelled her outside.
"Do not dare approach me again. You are not my Luna, and you never will be."
I slammed the door shut, engulfed in a sudden realization. Where should I begin? Where could Sierra have vanished to?
Feeling as if my mind was on the verge of collapse, the inability to think straight overwhelmed me. "What should I do? What mistake have I made?" I urgently asked myself. Without wasting another moment, I hastily rushed out of the office and fled from the castle, venturing into the enchanting woods in search of Sierra.
In my pursuit, I disregarded my status as an Alpha; all that mattered was the retrieval of Sierra. With every step, I scoured every nook and cranny of the forest, bellowing her name in desperation. However, my pleas were met with an eerie silence that enveloped the surroundings.
"Sierra!" I shouted, my voice resounding as though it possessed the power to shatter the world. Hours passed, but there was no response. Fear gripped me, as I imagined Sierra being trapped in a perilous situation. How could I have been so blind and foolish to not foresee this? Wherever you are, Sierra, I need you. I love you. Please, do not abandon me like this.
Frustration and dejection consumed me in the absence of finding her. Where could she have vanished to? What measures should I undertake to bring her back? Why must all of this transpire now, when I feel as though I have already endured enough suffering?
Gazing upwards, I observed the moon nearing its zenith, prompting me to ponder how long I had been searching for her. Perhaps tomorrow, I shall organize a search party to intensify our efforts. With a heavy heart, I retraced my steps and returned to the castle. Entering my office, I sank into my chair, preparing to close my eyes and surrender to fatigue. However, just as I was about to doze off, a voice from behind startled me.
"Alpha, are you hungry?"
I abruptly opened my eyes and turned around, only to be met by Alex standing before me in a seductive red dress, emanating a striking allure. She slowly approached, placing her hands on my shoulders, and a warm smile graced her face.
"You must be exhausted. I've taken it upon myself to prepare dinner for you," she whispered, her voice laced with a hint of desire.
