Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter 9

Thoughts of Aurora filled Alpha Fenrir's mind from the day before, forcing himself to focus on pack duties.

Just as he forced himself to focus on pack duties, Beta Nathan burst into the office, clutching a folded piece of paper. His face was tense, his eyes unusually intense. Without preamble, he strode up to Fenrir's desk and thrust a torn paper in front of him. "Alpha, there's something urgent you need to see."

Fenrir took the paper, glancing at the bold header at the top-the name of a nearby hospital. Confused, he raised an eyebrow, but Nathan was already moving toward

"Wait here," Nathan said over his shoulder. "This is too important for you not to hear directly."

With that, he disappeared down the hall, leaving Fenrir staring at the paper in his hand. The hospital name was familiar; it was where the pack members went for medical needs.

A twinge of unease coiled in his gut, but he tried to ignore it. Whatever Nathan had found, it couldn't be that serious or so he told himself.

Moments later, Nathan returned, this time dragging a reluctant doctor in by the arm.

The man's face was pale, his eyes flicking nervously between Fenrir and Nathan as he stumbled into the office.

"Doctor Lind, please," Nathan said, nudging the doctor forward. "Tell the Alpha what I just found out. He deserves to know the truth."

Fenrir straightened in his chair, watching the doctor expectantly. Doctor Lind swallowed, his gaze flicking nervously toward Nathan, then back to Fenrir.

"Alpha Fenrir," the doctor began, his voice shaky. "There's something you should know...about Luna Aurora."

Fenrir's heart thudded, and his body stiffened at the mention of Aurora's name.

"Go on," he urged, trying to keep his voice steady.

The doctor took a deep breath, gathering his courage. "Before she left the pack, Luna Aurora...she was pregnant."

Fenrir froze, the words reverberating in his mind like a distant echo.

Pregnant? He stared at the doctor, stunned, struggling to comprehend what he had just heard.

"What did you say?" Fenrir's voice was barely above a whisper, his tone laced with disbelief.

"Luna Aurora was carrying your child, Alpha," the doctor repeated, his gaze lowering as if he were ashamed to deliver the news. "She found out not long before the...before the separation. She wanted to keep it a secret, especially after you rejected her. I only learned of it because I was the one who conducted the test."

The silence in the room was thick, as Fenrir tried to process the revelation.

Images of Aurora's face flashed before him-her quiet resilience, her sorrowful eyes the night he had turned her away.

She had mentioned he had something to tell him the day he asked her for a divorce. He didn't let her mention what it was before he told her his desire to get divorced.

He had been so blinded by his past with Arianna, so convinced by her words, that he had never considered the possibility that Aurora might have been carrying his child.

"Why didn't she tell me?" Fenrir's voice was filled with an uncharacteristic vulnerability. The stoic Alpha, feared by many, looked lost and uncertain.

Nathan stepped forward, his voice calm yet firm. "Think about it, Alpha. You broke her heart. You humiliated her by taking back someone who despised her, someone who undermined her every chance she had. Aurora must have known that you would never listen, even if she tried."

The realization settled heavily on Fenrir's shoulders. He had dismissed her, blinded by Arianna's manipulative tales. And now he had lost not only Aurora but also the chance to know his own child.
