Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

Alpha Wade woke up early to prepare breakfast. To his surprise, he spotted Nelly coming out of Tony ‘s room.

Confused, he checked the time. Nelly doesn’t usually get up so early.

Before he could say a thing, Nelly approached him and greeted, “Morning, Grandpa.”

“I’m usually up at this time, but why are you already awake?” Alpha Wade suddenly moved closer to his granddaughter and scrutinized her face. He asked, “Why are your eyes so red? You didn’t sleep last night?”

“I didn’t,” said Nelly with a nod. “Why not? What were you doing?” “I was chatting with Tony !”

Alpha Wade was incredulous. “The whole night?” “Well, somehow it turned out that way.”

After some thought, Alpha Wade asked, “What happened? Did Tony do something wrong?” Nelly smiled and clarified, “No. We were just chatting about everything and nothing.”

That earned her a displeased glance from Alpha Wade , who chided, “Staying up late may be commonplace for you, but Tony ‘s still a growing boy. Staying up late can’t be good for his development.”

“All right, I won’t do it next time,” came Nelly ‘s reply.

“Yeah.” Nelly nodded.

“I’ll whip something up for breakfast. You should catch up on your sleep after you eat.” “Okay.”

“Just give me a couple of minutes. I’ll be quick.” As he spoke, Alpha Wade hastily put on an apron before preparing breakfast.

Nelly perched on a stool near the island and watched her grandfather working skillfully in the kitchen. As she stared at his frail figure and salt-and-pepper hair, she was suddenly struck by the realization that her grandfather had aged a great deal.

Her eyes pricked with tears, unbidden.

A plate of simple yet nutritious breakfast suddenly appeared before her.

Nelly hurriedly wiped the sorrowful expression off her face as Alpha Wade coaxed, “Food’s ready! Now hurry up and eat before you catch up on your sleep.”

Nelly slowly lowered her eyes to the fried eggs on her plate and nibbled at her breakfast.

Her behavior initially went unnoticed by Alpha Wade , who was busy preparing more breakfast portions. When he next turned around to look at her, his brows furrowed in concern, and he asked, “What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?”

“No.” Nelly shook her head firmly before meeting her grandfather’s gaze. Smiling, she explained, “I wanted to commit the taste of your cooking to memory.”

“You don’t have to do that. I can cook for you whenever you want,” Alpha Wade huffed. Nelly nodded her head solemnly in response.

Her grandfather glanced at her before returning his attention to his cooking. He did not think too much of her solemn mood.

She finished off her plate just as Alpha Wade was almost done with his cooking. “I’m heading back to my room to rest, Grandpa,” Nelly announced. “Shoo. Get some rest.”

Nelly glanced at her grandfather before heading to her room.

The moment she closed her room door, Alpha Wade stiffened and paused in the middle of cooking. He turned and stared thoughtfully at Nelly ‘s room door.

Meanwhile, Tony was so excited after his conversation with Nelly that he could not fall asleep. Instead, after some thought, he switched on his computer.

Sam ‘s message immediately popped up once Tony was online.

Sam : Where the heck did you go? I didn’t think you remembered how to come online anymore.

Tony did not expect him to be so upset. Still, high on excitement after his conversation with Nelly , Tony was unbothered by Sam ‘s message and replied: Polished language, please!

Sam : To heck with polished! You have no idea how worried I was! I almost flew over! Tony : I would also appreciate it if you would mind your language.

Sam did not reply, prompting Tony to type: Didn’t you ask Thalia to look for me? Didn’t she tell you about it?

Sam : She said your mom had a heart-to-heart talk with you. Tony : Yeah, so you do know!

Although Sam was used to Tony ‘s incessant mention of his mother, he still could not help but cringe. Nevertheless, a thought niggled at Sam ‘s mind. Of all days, why did Tony have to do his heart-to- heart yesterday? Doesn’t he realize how rare yesterday’s competition was?

Sam fired off a text: Do you understand what yesterday’s competition means?

Tony : It showed that I’m still pretty amazing even though I’m a bit weaker than Shadow Seeker? Sam : Do you even have a shred of humility?

Tony : Well, what do you think it means, then?

Sam took a deep breath before replying: Yesterday, you almost won by a hair. A HAIR. If you won, Darknetz’s reputation would be through the roof!

Tony : Ah, that’s a shame then!

Sam : I can’t sense a hint of regret in your tone.

Tony : Patience, patience. Darknetz will eventually triumph. Sam : I love it when you’re bluffing.

Tony : Hey, trust me!

Sam : I still think yesterday was a wasted opportunity. Even though you lost, you could’ve learned a trick or two from Shadow Seeker or become her student!

Confused, Tony replied: Become her student? Aren’t you worried Shadow Seeker will dismantle your group?

Sam : Our group!

Tony hastily corrected himself: Yes, that’s what I meant. Aren’t you worried Shadow Seeker will destroy OUR group?

Sam ‘s faith in Shadow Seeker never wavered. He replied: She would never! Tony : How could you be so sure?
