Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

344 Aunt Anna To The Rescue

As soon as Ronan got back to their suite, he heard the sound of someone throwing up in the bathroom. The reminder of what used to happen in the past made his heart skip a beat and lurch to the bottom of his stomach.

The Alpha hammered on the door like a lunatic, determined to see his mate.

“Lulu??? Open the door!!!”

When he did not hear an answer right away, he slammed his hand on the door so hard that it might fall off the hinges.

“LULU!!!”

“Wait a moment,” came the answer from behind the door at last.

A while later, the door unlocked with a click, and Ronan rushed in.

Lucien sat next to the toilet, its bowl was full of vomit.

“Baby?”

.....

Ronan took a seat next to Lucien and pulled him into his arms, his voice trembling from fear. “What happened? Are you alright?”

“Mmm...”

Lucien wiped his lips with some paper towel and leaned into his Alpha’s chest.

“I ate too much this afternoon.”

“... Why did you eat so much?”

“... Because I wanted to.”

“...”

Ronan grabbed Lucien’s chin and tilted it in his direction.

“Are you really just vomiting because you ate a lot? Did you meet someone? Did you eat or drink anything with someone?”

He did meet with Sean’s mother, but Lucien didn’t want Ronan to go rampant for no reason.

“I only ate and drank with Anna. Unless you think that she poisoned me?”

“...”

Ronan looked so serious that Lucien had to squeeze his face for fun.

“Haha, look at your face, you look so tense.”

Ronan took a deep breath.

“Lucien, don’t joke around. It’s not funny. If you throw up again, I am going to drag you to St. Clarence. We will celebrate your birthday there.”

Lucien cracked a smile.

“I thought you said that they were incompetent,” he teased.

“They were,” Ronan agreed. “But they are more than willing to learn. The Clarence family has agreed to use half of the ‘A Thousand Flowers Of Separation’ poison for clinical studies. In the future, this poison will not go unnoticed anymore. A cure will be found soon enough.”

The Alpha and Luna exchanged smiles.

“A Thousand Flowers Of Separation” was not going to harm any fated mates, ever again.

Ronan leaned over to kiss his mate, but the latter pressed a hand against his lips.

“Don’t,” he said. “I just vomited.”

“Then I will just taste what you had for lunch.”

“Ewww!!!”

Lucien pushed his laughing mate away and jumped to his feet.

“Get away from me!”

Ronan wrapped his arms around Lucien’s torso and kissed his beloved mate on the nape instead. The Alpha’s teeth lightly grazed the mating bond scar, sending chills down Lucien’s spine.

When his hand started to wander to Lucien’s chest and squeeze a nipple through the fabric, he got a ruthless smack from Lucien.

“Don’t fool around,” Lucien turned around and chastised his mate. “Anna and Lowell are waiting for us.”

“Can’t I have dessert before dinner?” Ronan still refused to give up. He rubbed his nose against Lucien’s neck and gently swayed left and right with the man in his arms.

“Come on, Lulu.”

If Lucien had not been played with this morning in the jacuzzi, he might just let the Alpha have a taste. Unfortunately, the stinging sensation in his rear end had yet to subside. It served as a constant reminder.

“If you don’t behave, you will not eat dessert for a whole week.”

“...”

Full of indignation, Ronan gave in to his childish impulse and bit Lucien in the nape.

“Argghhhhh!!! Ronan!!!”

Lucien struggled to free himself, but the arms that held him tight were as strong as iron clamps.

Following Lucien’s scream, another person hollered outside the suite bathroom as if her life depended on it.

“ALPHA RONAN! RELEASE MY BROTHER RIGHT NOW!!!”

“... How did she get in the suite?” Ronan just had to ask.

“I gave her a spare access card,” Lucien readily answered before he turned in the direction of the bathroom door and hollered an answer to his sister, “One moment, Anna.”

“...”

What’s this? Was Annalynne going to run over whenever they did something improper?

“Tch.”

Ronan clicked with his tongue unhappily. And he thought that Lowell could keep Annalynne busy! Who would have known that she picked her brother over her boyfriend?

“Go and keep your nosy sister company,” Ronan said gruffly before he released Lucien.

Lucien snickered. He pulled Ronan down for a kiss on the cheek.

“Be good, Alpha.”

Lucien turned to open the door for his hysterical sister outside, but Ronan yanked at his wrist and reeled him in for a kiss.

The Alpha’s tongue barely intruded past his lover’s lips before he crumpled his face in disgust and broke the kiss.

“Blearghhh!!!”

“Serves you right,” Lucien sneered. “Do you still want dessert, Alpha?”

“Yes,” Ronan quickly said.

Sour dessert was still dessert. Plus there was ample amount of mouthwash to gurgle with.

“... Get away from me,” Lucien pushed Ronan away from him when he understood that the Alpha was hopelessly unrepentant.

He then opened the door for Annalynne, who looked like she just ran all the way across the corridor to reach their suite.

“Lulu!” she exclaimed while examining her brother. “Are you alright??? Did he do anything to you???”

By this time, Ronan was out of patience. He pulled Lucien into his arms and pursed his lips at Annalynne.

“Alpha Annalynne, I tolerated you enough. Don’t think that just because he is your brother you own him. If anything, I own him! He is my Luna!”

Lucien’s “Technically, I am my own person,” was drowned when Annalynne dragged him away from Ronan and screamed at Ronan, “You IDIOT! Lucien is in a...” and then she lowered her voice, “delicate situation right now.”

Right afterward, she started shouting at Ronan again, “So stop with whatever perversion that you have in mind!!! Leave my brother be for the time being!!!”

Huffing angrily, Annalynne dragged a confused Lucien away.

Left behind, the Alpha gaped at the Clearwater twins’ retreating figures and said to himself, “What the hell? What delicate situation?”
