Chapter 291

291 The Alpha Was Relieved

“Oh, Goddess, noooo...!!!”

Ronan broke their kiss and wailed into Lucien’s shoulder.

“What the fuck is that old man trying to do? This is the hospital!” he shouted angrily.

Ronan climbed off the bed, intent on barging into the next ward to straighten the lawless behavior of his divorced parents.

Lucien pulled Ronan at his waist and dragged him back to bed.

“Ronan, what the hell do you think you are doing? Those are your parents!” he hissed at his mate.

“Exactly because they are my parents that I must say something! I can’t tolerate this lecherous attitude! How old do they think they are???” Ronan roared like a wounded beast.

“It is not your freaking place to tell them not to have sex with each other!”

Ronan wailed again when he heard the cursed words coming out of Lucien’s mouth. Lucien took the chance to drag Ronan back to bed. As soon as the taller man hit the mattress, he curled up in a fetal position and buried his face into the nearest pillow.

.....

“Don’t say that,” he lamented. “Don’t say that they are doing ‘that’. Goddess, noooooo...!!!”

“Doing what? Having sex?” Lucien repeated just to tease the poor man mercilessly.

“Arrrgggggghhhhhhhhh!!!”

Ronan howled in genuine pain. He stuffed his ears with pillows, determined not to hear another word coming out of Lucien’s mouth, or the ungodly sounds from the adjacent ward.

Looking at how distressed his mate was at the prospect of his parents hooking up, Lucien could barely suppress his laughter.

Needless to say, Dane Silverback successfully took the wind off Ronan’s sail that night. While Ronan held Lucien in his arms and drifted into sleep, he was haunted by the suspicion that he might never be able to get an erection ever again. Not as long as his parents were engaged in depraved activities with each other.

When morning came, Ronan was in a hurry to go back to the Infinite Eclipse Pack. He did not want to see his mother at all. “I can’t,” he said with a broken voice. “Lulu, please just tell Mom that I am feeling sick. I don’t want to see any of them.”

“... Sooner or later, you have to. They are your parents,” Lucien pointed out.

Ronan clawed into the mattress and howled.

“Lulu, please, just...”

Lucien giggled.

He placed a kiss on the back of Ronan’s neck to placate him.

“Alright,” he said. “I am going next door to tell your parents that we are leaving. You can go ahead to the car if you want.”

“That is a marvelous idea,” Ronan praised. He quickly got dressed and got out of the ward. Looking at how fast he walked, Lucien could tell that Ronan was all healed up. Physically, at least. He had a feeling that Ronan would never recover from what he heard the previous night.

The Alpha thought that he was safe.

He gladly marched toward the hospital foyer, where Milroy was already waiting for him.

As luck would have it, Lady Adele Fangblade was right there in front of him, chatting amicably with Milroy. When she saw her son, she smiled and waved at him.

Ronan’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down in anguish. The torment was more than what he was able to bear.

This was his mother.

His mother!

The person who gave birth to him!

To think that she would do “that” with a man, his unrepentant father to boot... No, the mere thought that she would do it with anyone was beyond nerve-wracking.

No, he could not take it.

Just like a beast who was cornered in an unpleasant situation, the Alpha looked around for an escape route. He was just contemplating the possibility to run past his mother and maybe later make an excuse that he did not see her... Whether or not it made sense did not matter right now.

He had to leave.

Right away.

“Ronan?”

While Ronan was busy with his frantic thoughts, his mother already came over. Milroy excused himself to take care of Ronan’s check-out procedures.

Lady Adele Fangblade extended her arms and hugged her son, who was as stiff as one of the trees in the North Ridge Forest.

“Darling, are you alright? You look so pale.”

“I... I... Mom...!!!”

Ronan hugged his mom and howled.

“Why... Why...?”

“Why what?” The lady was utterly confused.

“Why did you...? I mean... Why...??? With him???”

Ronan looked so miserable as a dog that was trapped in a downpour.

“Please don’t make me say it,” he begged. “Otherwise I am going to die from a heart attack.”

The look on Ronan’s face was too funny. Lady Adele Fangblade could not help but burst into laughter.

“Mom, I am serious!” Ronan growled in unconcealed sorrow.

“Oh, darling, what were you thinking?”

The elder lady patted her son’s cheek affectionately.

“Your father hurt his back. All I did was help him to sit so he could eat his dinner.”

Relief washed over Ronan.

“Really?”

“Really.”

“And you really didn’t...?”

“I didn’t,” Lady Fangblade confirmed.

“Oh, thank Goddess,” Ronan blurted out. He could not imagine looking into his mother’s eyes ever again if they had... No. They had not. That was the most important thing.

“My poor son,” Lady Fangblade teased. “You have dark circles all around your eyes. Don’t tell me that you couldn’t sleep all night because of that?”

Ronan cleared his throat.

“No, that’s not it. The past few days had been quite overwhelming. I need some time to readjust.”

“Ah. I see, I see. By the way, Ronan, can I move back into the pack house?”

Ronan was stunned by the sudden request, but he agreed right away.

“Of course!” he shouted in delight. “Mom, you are welcome to move back anytime!”

“I am so glad,” the elder lady laughed. “If you said no, I would have to go into a home for elder rogue she-wolves.”

“Nonsense!” Ronan snapped. “Mom, you must never refer to yourself as a rogue she-wolf!”

She was after all the mother of the Alpha. Ronan was going to establish her rightful status in the Infinite Eclipse Pack no matter what.
