Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

He squeezed back at Lucien’s hand and gave him a pitiful look.

“...”

Lucien felt like looking at a drenched little puppy.

“Lulu, we promised to spend every birthday together. You can’t do this to me.”

Opposite them, Annalynne sucked a deep breath audibly.

If Ronan thought that he owned Lucien, he was sorely mistaken. Annalynne was planning to open the Alpha’s eyes.

“Alpha Ronan, just so you know, Lulu is technically still part of my pack. I don’t care whether you are fated mates or bonded mates. I can get him to go back to my pack anytime I want!”

Ronan turned his head in a menacing way toward his mate’s twin sister.

.....

“Do that and I promise you that you will never see your brother again.”

Annalynne’s jaw dropped in horror. She was quick to complain to her brother.

“Lulu! Are you going to let him talk to me like that???”

Rubbing his temple due to his growing headache, Lucien glared at both his sister and his mate.

“Can you both stop arguing like little children? And stop treating me like an inanimate object! I can go anywhere I want to!”

“Then tell us now who you want to spend your birthday with,” Ronan decided.

Annalynne narrowed her eyes at her brother.

Ronan pursed his lips at the man next to him.

“...”

“...”

Lucien cleared his throat.

It was about sleeping together in a tent at Shadow Mist Creek all over again. Lucien’s choice was pretty clear. He did not want to choose between his sister and his mate.

“Let’s go together,” he suggested.

“No!” both Ronan and Annalynne shouted in unison.

“I don’t want her to squeeze herself between us all the time!” Ronan pointed at Annalynne.

“I also don’t want to travel with this pants-chasing lecher! My eyes have been tainted enough!!!” Annalynne proclaimed.

“Oh, is that so?”

Lucien leaned back and directed his sharp gaze at both Ronan and Annalynne. “Either we go together or we don’t go at all. I offer to have lunch with Anna and dinner with Ronan. Will that be better?”

Lucien’s suggestion made her two beloved people slump dispiritedly.

What kind of a birthday celebration was that?

That was nothing but dining appointments.

Although they could not tolerate each other, both Annalynne and Ronan were dying to go on a birthday trip.

“Fine, what if I take Lowell with us?” Annalynne came up with a suggestion to make the trip happen.

“Wonderful idea!” Ronan praised. For once, Alpha Annalynne proved that she had a working brain! Alpha Ronan was extremely delighted.

Next to him, Lucien heavily disagreed.

“No!” he shouted. “You are not allowed to stay overnight with Lowell!”

A wicked smile spread on the woman’s face. She reached out to squeeze her brother’s free hand and gave him a coquettish gaze.

“Then Lulu can sleep with me and Ronan can sleep with Lowell. Is that good enough...?”

“...”

“Deal,” Lucien agreed.

Annalynne gave Ronan a victorious smirk shamelessly.

Ronan almost spat out blood from fury.

Alpha Ronan sustained a huge loss that day.

He not only lost the opportunity to enjoy a hot, intimate skin-to-skin relation with his mate, but also had to tolerate the presence of his future sister-in-law and her boyfriend in his amazing birthday surprise plan for Lucien.

To top it off, Lucien insisted that Ronan came back down with him to oversee the banquet until the night was over.

Alpha Ronan stuck to the bar like a sulking little boy and terrorized the poor bartender.

While he was lamenting his poor luck, a handsome man came to hit on him.

“Hey, handsome, are you alone?”

Ronan turned around and came face-to-face with Lucien, who was clearly trying hard to suppress his laughter.

“... I feel alone,” Ronan quipped dejectedly.

Lucien burst into laughter.

He put his hands around Ronan’s collar and straightened it for him.

“Upset?”

“Devastated,” Ronan said dramatically. Upset was not the right word to express his dejection, his infuriation, his disappointment.

Lucien chuckled.

He put his arms around Ronan’s neck and leaned at him.

The knot at Ronan’s throat bobbed up and down nervously.

He was clearly still angry at Lucien, but why must he be such a tempter???

Lucien took the Alpha’s hands, pressed a chaste kiss on the knuckles, and put them around his slender waist. He knew that Ronan could not resist him.

He desired his mate too much.

Ronan’s brain was deactivated as soon as he gazed into Lucien’s alluring eyes, heard his seductive voice, smelled his sweet scent, and ran his hands across the man’s lean but strong body.

He did not need any aphrodisiac or alcohol to amplify his desire for his mate.

Ronan pulled Lucien close and pressed their lips together. Burning from desire, he poured all his love into the lustful kisses that he imparted to his mate.

“Dance with me,” Lucien whispered in a sultry voice.

He took Ronan’s hand and led him toward the dance floor.

Ronan followed him willingly. If Lucien had taken him to the depths of hell, he might still say that it was the most beautiful place in the world.

Lucien was all he needed to be happy.

To facilitate the romantic mood, the lighting on the dance floor was dimmed.

Couples swayed slowly from side to side, holding each other close while listening to the tasteful jazz music that played in the background.

Lucien grabbed the back of Ronan’s neck and kissed him.

It was breathtaking.

It was wild.

Ronan did not care anymore about their surrounding.

For him, at the moment, only he and Lucien existed.

They were together, and everything was great.

Meanwhile, Lucien blamed his brazen attitude on the cherry cocktail. The alcohol went to his head and brought his wanton side to the surface.

For once, he wanted to let go of all restraint and just give in to his own ravenous desires for his mate.

Once the dance was over, Lucien thus dragged the Alpha to the male restroom and demanded that he fulfill his promises.
