105 The House Guest
“Good night!” A little girl bade goodbye to her playmates as she rushed back ho.
“Byeee, Nana!” The other kids waved at the little girl’s back before they all dispersed to their own houses.
Not long after, Nana’s mother went out to take out the trash. When she walked back to her apartnt, she caught sight of Alice Clearwater who was leaning against the window in her apartnt on the upper floor.
The woman swallowed her nervosity before she greeted the elder woman.
“Mrs... Mrs. Clearwater, good evening.”
Alice tilted her head slightly to look at Nana’s mother.
“Good evening, Clara.”
Nana’s mother almost cried from happiness. Alice Clearwater knew her by na! Truly, Alice was the only Luna that Clara respected. Too bad that the Clearwater family had to take the fall back then. It was the one thing in the history of the Silent Walkers Pack that young Clara regretted the most.
According to Clara, the ascend of Deacon Clearwater as the Alpha was a terrible decision. She even voiced the exact sa thing to her mother, word after word. Her mother then slapped her hard across the face and warned her from speaking ill about the currently reigning Alpha, ever again.
.....
Clara had bitten her lips in resentnt and held her tears back then, unable to say a single word in return.
And look at what Deacon Clearwater had done! The Silent Walkers Pack was thrust into the worst predicant ever, left at the rcy of the Night Prowler Pack. Clara kept screaming in her heart that she knew it. She knew it would happen. Deacon Clearwater was not suitable to lead a pack!
If only Lucien Clearwater had taken over as the Alpha instead. But he just had to lose his wolf and disqualify himself entirely from being part of the pack, let alone becoming the next Alpha!
What Clara didn’t expect was Lucien Clearwater’s return to clean up the ss that Deacon Clearwater left after the war ended.
It beca quickly apparent that the string of bad luck had not ended for the Clearwater family. Everything that could go wrong already went wrong without a single fail.
Clara heaved a sigh as heavy as the dark cloud that hung over the pack house that night.
No wonder Alice Clearwater did not care to even take so al. She was waiting for her children to co ho, and it broke Clara’s heart.
Alice waited for hours by the window, only going in for short periods of ti a few tis. By the ti night settled on the pack house and all pack mbers prepared for bed, she had yet to change into her night attire.
Clara made a point to go out of her apartnt one more ti to check up on Alice Clearwater.
“Mrs. Clearwater, good night!” She said.
“Good night, Clara.”
The younger woman went back into her dwelling, praying in her heart that Alice Clearwater’s children might co back soon. Not long after, the light in her apartnt was extinguished.
Alice Clearwater saw the lights in the pack house disappear one by one. Soon, the only section that was still illuminated brightly in the middle of the night was the small apartnt where the Clearwaters resided.
It did not matter for the elder woman. Even if it would take the whole night, she was still going to wait.
Alice Clearwater’s gaze was trained at the pack house entrance for what seed to be an eternity until finally two beams of headlight appeared in the darkness. By the ti the car pulled before the pack house, Alice Clearwater arrived at the ground floor.
She ran out and hugged both Annalynne and Lucien who climbed off the car at the sa ti.
“Oh, my babies,” she breathed into their shoulders as soon as she held them in her arms. “You are finally back.”
“Mom.”
Lucien gave his mother a kiss on the cheek. After the trio disentangled themselves, Lucien took his mother by the elbow and led her to Ronan, who stood so distance away, not wanting to disturb the family reunion.
“Mom, Ronan ca back with . There are many things I need to tell about the hearing and trial today...”
With a charming smile on his face, Ronan pulled at Lucien’s waist and stopped him from speaking further.
“Lulu, it is late. Should we not talk about it tomorrow? We still have so ti.”
Alice’s jaw dropped open when she saw the open display of intimacy. She was even more surprised to see Lucien being so obedient. What was going on? Did she miss sothing? It seed that she missed a lot.
Alice sneaked a glance at her daughter, who gave her an I-know-as-much-as-you-do-Mom look.
“Right,” Alice Clearwater agreed with Ronan.
“Welco to our modest settlent, Alpha Ronan. I hope you will enjoy your stay here.”
Alice assigned Ronan a guest room in their apartnt and suggested that they all retreat for the night. By that, she ant that everyone but Lucien and herself should go to sleep. Alice had a lot of questions on her mind, and all of them were pertinent to the Alpha of the Infinite Eclipse Pack.
Not fifteen minutes after she went into her bedroom, she ca out again and marched toward Lucien’s bedroom. Alice Clearwater swallowed hard and raised her hand to knock at Lucien’s door.
Before the first knock even landed, she heard sothing that gave her goosebumps.
“No, Ronan...” Lucien’s sweet, satiny voice was heard coming from inside his bedroom. “Don’t... Ah...”
“Sssh, baby...” Ronan’s seductive voice rang out in retaliation. “Just relax, will you?”
Drowsiness and exhaustion drained like water from Alice Clearwater’s body. She did not wish to listen more to what was going on inside Lucien’s bedroom.
That night, Alice Clearwater could not sleep even a wink. Not because her children were not ho yet. It was because of the house guest who was doing unspeakable things with her son under her roof!
