I Am His Wolfless Luna
Chapter 197
I heard my mother chuckle softly behind me. Glancing back, I caught her knowing smile as she observed our interaction. “You used to have that exact same expression,” she said. “It’s the Alpha blood running in his veins.
“Yes, Aria’s lineage is strong,” I replied, pulling back the curtain separating us from my father.
“Not from Aria’s side,” my mother murmured as she slipped past me to greet my father.
The sight of my father sitting upright in a chair instead of lying in bed was a relief. He looked more vibrant today, a certain strength emanating from him that had been absent yesterday. My mother whispered something in his ear, and they both giggled like teenage lovers.
“My son, Father called, opening his arms wide as Mother stepped aside. I smiled, circling the bed to embrace him. His arms encircled me strength, a stark reminder that despite his improved appearance, he was still fading. My throat tightened.
with barely any
“Hey, Dad. You’re looking good,” I said against his shoulder before pulling back. Pride and admiration glinted in his pale eyes. He nodded, then shifted his attention to Lucas. I nearly laughed when I saw the powerful expression the boy fixed on my father. This kid had a state that could kill. “Lacas, this is my dad. The Alpha of Shadow Fang.”
Lucas extended his hand toward my father. My father maintained an equally serious demeanor as he placed his hand in Lucas’s small palm. Once their hands were clasped, Lucas inclined his head slightly. “Alpha, I’m Lucas. It’s an honor to meet you.”
Father’s eyes sparkled with amusement, and he shot my mother a glance before composing his features. “Hello, Lucas. I’ve heard much about you. The honor is mine.”
A quick, boyish smile flashed across Lucas’s face before he schooled his features again. My father laughed, the sound rusty but genuine. “Yes. Perfect indeed. I think Vicky was right, dear, they are identical
“Yes. I was stunned when I saw him,” my mother agreed, her gaze sweeping over the three of us, though her eyes lingered on me. “Aria is lovely too. She has her mother’s features in every way. It’s quite remarkable. All thanks to Vicky, though.” She paused, her expression turning serious “Now, we need to discuss your formal declaration as Alpha.”
“What? But 1-” I began, caught off guard.
“You’ve officially completed all my requirements, Father interrupted, his eyes flickering between Lucas and me with a knowing look I couldn’t quite Interpret. “It’s time to pass everything to you.”
not married yet. That was your final test, wasn’t it?” I said, placing my hand on Lucas’s head, ensuring the boy wouldn’t bolt. The physical connection grounded me as my mind raced.
“Yes, but certain things have become clear, and that’s no longer necessary. You wit take my place and designate Lucas as your heir. Father delivered this with the Alpha command that would have brought anyone to their knees, but Lucas giggled. I looked down at the boy in confusion, not understanding what had just happened. I’d been prepared to argue with my parents about naming Lucas bs my heir, but Father had commanded it as if it were already decided.
Father let out a deep, numbling laugh. “Absolutely perfect, my bay. You will make an extraordinary Alpha, and Lucas will be the perfect heir.
I narrowed
my eyes, studying my father’s face. I felt like I was missing something crucial, but before I could respond, Lucas grabbed my father’s hand, looking up at him with earnest eyes.
Your
yes are the
same as mine and Ethan’s,” he declared solemnly. “Mom says green eyes are special, So you must be strong like us. Don’t worry, I’ll protect my sisters and my mom once they wake up. I don’t know what an heir is, but I can do it.”
