The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368

“Have a seat, Ben. We need to have a serious talk before you leave,” the Alpha said firmly, his tone leaving no room for refusal.

I hesitated for a moment, heart thudding in my chest. “Is something wrong, Alpha? Did something happen to Elara or Junior?” I asked, anxiety creeping into my voice.

He fixed me with a steady gaze. “I’m waiting on a few answers myself, but your reaction just made my decision easier. I want you to be straightforward with me. Is Elara your mate?”

My breath caught in my throat. I hadn’t voiced this truth aloud to anyone before, but if he demanded it, I had no choice but to confess. I looked down at my hands, my voice barely above a whisper. “Yes, sir.” There was no shame in my admission—just a quiet acceptance—but for some reason, I felt unusually subdued.

“Has she rejected you?” he asked next.

My eyes shot up to meet his, my heart pounding so loudly I was sure he could hear it. “No, sir.”

“And do you intend to reject her?” His question was sharp, probing.

“That’s a tougher question to answer, sir,” I admitted, my mind racing. “Neither of us has really had the chance to consider it fully. She’s the rightful next Alpha, but many males in her circle expect her mate to take the title, which would push her into the Luna role. She doesn’t want that, and I don’t want that for her. I don’t want to be an Alpha—I’m proud to be a Beta. This is the role I was born for, and I won’t be forced into anything else.”

He leaned back in his chair, folding his hands over his stomach, clearly relaxed but watchful. “What about your feelings for Kennedy?”
