Chapter 20
What are you doing here?” Lucian asked his beta wolf. Aiden stood still as he wondered what he was going to say to the man who had caught him attempting to see his Luna and his mate.
“Well, I just thought about checking on the Luna again. She had earlier asked me to bring her some garments from her room. On my way there, I forgot what garment she was asking me to bring and so I came back here to ask her. I hoped she would be kind enough to tell me. I hope I am not intruding on anything. I apologize if I am. I am deeply sorry” he said as he gave a bow to the Alpha.
Lucian nodded. He had no reason to be upset or angry and so he curtailed himself. He did not need to act like a child before his beta wolf, especially after he had given him that reason.
Aiden smiled at the alpha as he stretched his hand forth to ask for the room key. The alpha looked at him with doubt, but he did not mind. He was getting his way already.
He smiled as the keys were handed over to him. He drove them in and in an instant, he opened the door. Aiden’s eyes widened as his opening of the door was almost greeted with a hug from Lyra. He quickly nudged his head to the right and thankfully, she understood what he meant just in time and refrained herself. She stood up straight and looked at her mate.
“You locked me inside. Why?” She asked him.
Aiden watched as Lyra crossed her arms to speak to her husband. He liked. how stern she was to other men but was meek to him. She was his Luna and not the alpha’s.
“Answer me!!”she yelled at him. Aiden looked at the alpha to see his reaction and watched as he dropped his face down. He marveled. Was the alpha going to let a woman talk to him that way.? Wow!
The alpha lifted his face up and looked at his mate, “for goodness sake, Lyra. This is not the time or place to have this kind of discussion. You’re embarrassing me in front of Aiden. Can you not respect me?” He said to

her, Lucian turned to Aiden to give him a side eye. It meant he would be welcomed to leave. He needed to talk to his mate. Aiden nodded and bowed as he tried to give them space. He turned to leave but Lyra stopped. him.
“Aiden goes nowhere, it’s you who isn’t welcomed here and once again, I would appreciate it if you left. You were already on your way out and now that you have seen who I was with and can trust him, I think we are all clear. Please leave” she said as she pointed him to the hallway that led to the hospital’s exit. Her request was rude, Aiden thought. If he was in Lucian’s shoes, he was sure he would give her a pull or push. He watched to see what Lucian would do.
Lucian took a deep breath and exhaled. He smiled at Aiden and then smiled back at his mate. He had had enough. He was tired, today had been a long day. He turned to leave as they both watched him walk through the hallway and out the door. In a minute or so, they could no longer hear his footsteps.
Lyra turned to her lover. “Finally, he has left us alone. We can get back to what we were doing. Come on in” she said as she pulled him inside the room and locked the door.
Aiden followed her inside quietly and when they had gotten in, he watched as she tried to undress herself.
“I think you were all a little too harsh on your mate. You might have hurt his feelings. He’s a man and he has an ego. I think you just broke it as you ripped apart his heart. That’s not part of the plan you know” he said to her as he walked to her bed and sat on it.
“Who cares? He’s not the one I love” came his reply. He huffed. That was one reason he was having doubts in Lyra. She never took corrections and when she did, she always took them to suit herself.
“I think you should apologize,” he said to her. Lyra made a disgusted face. He must have imagined that his comment hit her on the spot. He knew that apologizing was something Lyra would never do, but it was essential if they could actualize their plan of getting her to be the alpha and ruling the pack without Lucian. She needed to learn to say sorry and mean it. Even if

it was a lie, she just needed to sound true.
“Remember what I taught you. This is the best time to apply for it. You need to use your head and not your heart. Brians are what would help us grow, not your personal feelings towards people. Okay?” He said
“But I don’t want to..” She pouted. She tried to make baby faces at Aiden but he kept his stern face. She tried some more but he would not budge. “Alright, I’ll say sorry to him when I head home tomorrow or whenever he comes to see me next. Does that make you feel better?” She said to him, Aiden smiled. Other men could not control Lyra but he could and he took pride in it.
She was a hard nut to cr ack but he made her do things she would not ordinarily do and to him, that was a sign that he could take on anything from anyone and still, nothing would happen to him.
Lyra undressed herself as she walked over to him. She leaned to him and k*ssed him on the cheek and then on the l*ps.
“Let’s make our own baby” she whispered in his ears.
