Loving my Rejected Luna novel Chapter 144

It wasn't hard to miss the old man standing in the midst of several men in black suits holding guns.

Levi sighed as he parked his car then he glanced at them through his rear view mirror before taking out his gun. He made sure it was loaded before getting out of the car.

As soon as his father saw him coming, a smile appeared on his face.

“If it isn't my dear son that tried to kill me because of a wolf girl" He heard his father utter as he got closer. Levi ignored his statement as he bowed his head respectfully at him.

“Father" He called out then raised his head just to see his father staring at him inquisitively.

“Your brothers brought the fact that you captured the wolf girl to my attention" Levi pursed his lips then shook his head.

“I didn't capture her, they did and I had wanted to free her because I still love her as you know but what use is having her with me when I can't have her to myself" His father furrowed his eyebrows.

“What are you getting at, son?" Levi smirked.

“You want to get rid of Zane, I want to get Kiara. I can help out as long as the girl doesn't get hurt" A slow smile appeared on his father's face then he suddenly began to laugh.

“Why hadn't you said so before? If you had, I wouldn't have had her kidnapped and you wouldn't have pointed your gun at me" Levi smiled.

“You would have still done whatever you wanted, Father. I know you more than anyone" His father chuckled then his eyes trailed down Levi's body slowly.

“Something about you has changed and I don't know if it's just your physique" Levi tilted his head.

“Let's just say I'm more aware of myself now and my capabilities" His father chuckled.

“I don't know if that's a bad thing or a good thing, Levi"

“That's because it's a bad thing for you and good news for me. You know I've been doing my homework and I've gotten all your… well all mother's allies on my side so technically you have no one backing you up now" The smile slipped off his father's face.

“What?" Levi smiled.

“The few that hadn't wanted to leave your side before have now decided to side with me after I pulled some strings so technically you're just a King now with no subjects and you can't run a kingdom if there's no subjects, can you?" His father frowned.

“How dare you?" Just then, the men in black suits raised their guns and aimed at Levi while he just stood there with his calm demeanor and a smirk on his face.

“Are you really going to shoot me? I'm the only reason you will be kept alive, Father" His father furrowed his eyebrows.

“What are you talking about?"

“If Zane can help me talk to your mother, I'll forget about everything and I'll step down for you" His father muttered, making Levi smile.

“Okay then,it's settled but Liam can't find out about this. He still needs to think that we are on his side, okay?" His father nodded and for the first time, Levi noticed how tired he looked. He truly had aged a lot.

It must have been exhausting carrying all those hate in his heart for years.

“So the thing you said about wanting to kill Zane to get Kiara was a lie?" His father questioned and he let out a sigh.

“I still love Kiara and I don't know if that'll change anytime soon but I can't force love and she's never going to love me so I just have to accept it. As for Zane, he's not a bad guy. Although we got off on the wrong foot, he's the reason I'm more confident in myself now. He's good for Kiara so as long as she's happy, I'm happy" His father smiled.

“You are a much better person than me, Levi. Always have been and that's why I tried taming you. It wasn't like you were a wild child when you were little but when you spoke, people just had the urge to listen because whatever you said sounded like the right thing no matter what it was and I was scared that you'd take the mafia away from me sooner than expected. Coupled with the fact that I did take out my anger of losing your mother on you which I know was wrong but I'm not a good person, Levi. Never have and Never will be. Your mother was the only one that could tame and she died too early" Levi sighed but a small smile played on his lips.

“I accept your apology, father" His father scoffed.

“I didn't apologize. Although if I were in your shoes, I would have killed Zane with the first chance I got and ran away with Kiara and forced her to marry me" Levi's eyes widened then he bursted out laughing and his father followed.

This was the first time they had ever spoken about how they feel and be carefree with one another. Even though it felt good, Levi wasn't able to just forgive him so easily but he was willing to try for his own sake.

He didn't want to end up like his father…
