Alpha's Regret the Luna is Secret Heiress (by Sylvia) novel Chapter 145

Chapter 79: Family Secrets

(Olivia’s POV)

After muting my phone, I finally had a good night’s sleep. When I woke again, It was already one o’clock in the afternoon. The other side of the bed was empty; Connor had already gotten up.

I rubbed my eyes and lifted the quilt, preparing to get out of bed to wash up. As soon as my feet touched the ground, my legs went weak, and I almost fell,

Connor had been a bit rough last night. After Ethan left, he returned to the bedroom to sleep. He had said he would just hold me and not do anything, but as he held me, his wolf had become restless again.

I winced slightly as I stood, feeling the pleasant soreness that reminded me of our passionate night together. My wolf purred contentedly within me, completely satisfied with our mate’s claim.

Taking a moment to steady myself, I grabbed my robe from the chair beside the bed and slipped it on. The soft silk felt cool against my skin, still warm from sleep.

I took a while to adjust, stretching my limbs carefully before walking out of the bedroom. In the living room, I saw Connor sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, a laptop on his knees.

When he was working seriously, he exuded a powerful Alpha aura. The snow had stopped. The soft, warm winter sunlight shone through the glass window, casting a faint warm glow on him, even softening his deep, cold features.

The heating was on in the room, and Connor was only wearing a black shirt, the buttons at the collar fastened tightly. He stared intently at the computer screen, his face expressionless, his slender, beautiful fingers typing rapidly on the keyboard.

At this moment, he looked abstinent. Only I knew that it was those bony fingers that had unbuttoned my clothes bit by bit last night, clinging to me and claiming me again and again.

Only I knew how wild Connor was beneath his gentle and forbidden appearance. It was the first time I had seen him so focused on his work, and the contrast with last night was too great.

I was momentarily mesmerized. Connor noticed my gaze, looked up, and his ice–blue eyes instantly softened. A gentle smile appeared on his expressionless face.

“Livvy, you’re awake?” His voice was warm, a stark contrast to the cold authority he projected when working.

I hummed in response, walked over, and sat down next to him, crossing my legs on the sofa and tilting my head to look at his computer screen.

Connor said softly, “Grandfather Gerald asked me to officially take over the pack leadership, so I’ve been quite busy recently.”

I was a little surprised. Logically speaking, wasn’t the Alpha of the Rivers pack William Rivers? However, this matter involved the Rivers pack’s internal affairs, so it wasn’t appropriate for me to ask.

I didn’t expect Connor to take the initiative to tell me.

“The Jessica Sullivan incident before was related to my father’s illegitimate son.” Connor didn’t look away, his

eyes still fixed on the computer screen.

When he spoke about this matter, his face was calm, as if he was talking about something ordinary My amber eyes widened in surprise.

“What illegitimate son?” I couldn’t hide the shock in my voice.

Connor’s tone changed slightly, his typing hands paused, and there seemned to be a hint of intolerance and sadness in his eyes. It was the first time I had seen such emotions in his eyes.

Connor’s voice was soft. “More than twenty years ago, while my mother Katherine was pregnant, my father had an affair.”

My heart sank at his words. I hadn’t expected such a revelation.

“When my mother gave birth to me and was recovering from the birth, the other woman, Victoria Price, came to my father with an ultrasound report from the hospital, wanting to use the child to force her way into the pack.”

I felt a chill run down my spine at the calculated cruelty of this woman’s timing.

“When my mother found out about this, she had a mental breakdown, suffered from postpartum depression, and almost jumped off a building to commit suicide.”

(Connor’s POV)

“At that time, my grandparents put pressure on my father to terminate the pregnancy, but my father was serious about that woman at the time, so he couldn’t bear to do it.” I kept my voice steady, though the old pain still lingered.

“He superficially agreed to terminate the pregnancy but actually hid it from my grandparents and secretly sent the woman abroad.”

Olivia was so shocked that she couldn’t speak. I knew she hadn’t heard anything about such a scandal in the Rivers pack. We had kept it very well hidden.

I continued, “To be honest, the person my father truly loved in his heart should be Victoria, but unfortunately, they could never be together.”

Chapter 79 Fattily Deont

Seeing my silence, Connor looked away from the computer screen and turned to me, a subtle ples in his deep, Ice–blue eyes.

“Liwy, do you think my pack is very messy?” His voice held a vulnerability I’d rarely heard before.

“Don’t worry, I’m not like my father. When I was very young, I swore to myself that I would only love one mete in my life, be absolutely loyal, and absolutely devoted.”

He looked a little humble at this moment. It was as if he was afraid that I would misunderstand him as being the same kind of Alpha as his father because of the measy things in his pack and thus distance myself from
