Alpha, I'm No Longer Your Luna

Thaddeus POV

A MONTH LATER…

I was staring at my computer for an hour already and couldn't even focus on deciding what to do next. Just thinking about the image of the woman whose face keeps repeating over and over in my head has thrown me off track, and I have no idea what tasks I have to complete today. I want to go after her and capture her in my arms so that I can take revenge on her for rejecting me.

"It's been a whole month already. Why is it that I can't get that woman out of my mind?!" I mumbled to myself while clenching the pen fiercely, and suddenly within the space of a single second, the pen bent in my grasp.

Why do I behave like this? Is it because her face looks just like Arabella's? The mate who passed away seven years ago. It was a really devastating incident in my life at the time. Before my father passed, he even helped me trace her and bury my mate's body, and I do not want to dwell on it any further because doing so would simply make the rest of my day more painful.

"Sir, Mister Johnson asked me to have you come over to the Ranch to check what was going on with the horses."

"Tell him I'm busy, does he even know how to take care of those horses?" I replied furiously, then my secretary's eyes shied away from looking directly at me.

After that, I had no other option but to get up and sigh, "Alright, make sure that all these files are organized. I will read over all of this on another day."

"Yes, Sir," she replied as she bent her head.

Werewolves have finally lived alongside humans for many years, yet they still never know about us. We are just only a myth, a tale, but they don’t realize that we truly exist in this chaotic world.

I, Thaddeus Gallager, the son of the late Alpha king, now—I am the Alpha King. I was known to be the billionaire CEO of this country. My family possessed multiple Royal hotels, beaches, and businesses across the world, and I inherited all of that except for my Royal Rogue brother, who ruined his life due to his too much envy and selfishness.

I take a few slow, deep breaths, and as I approach the door to the building, I notice that my personal driver has already parked the car outside. We took the way more accessible than when we arrived at the Ranch. I heard the noises that my horse was making. I walked gently and sniffed the area. I smelled something nasty. Yep, that was the Horse poop. Fuck.

Roy arrived. He was covered in dirt and groaned as he saw me. He then took off his cowboy hat and said, "It's a miracle that you showed up today!"

"Yes, what the heck is the issue over here?"

"One of your favorite horses isn't eating,"

I got fairly close to the white horse, Arabella's favorite horse. She was the reason I ended up establishing a ranch; I wanted to keep my connection with her alive. I wish I could go back in time and be with her again, but I guess that's impossible.

I listened to the horse's heart to see whether it was beating normally, and once I confirmed that it was, I told him in a calm voice. "She's completely fine."

"On what basis do you assert that she is perfectly healthy?" Roy is one of my human friends, and judging from the expression on his face, he appears perplexed.

I confirm with a nod of my head and remark, "Because I said so."

Roy gave a gentle chuckle and accompanied me inside, then said, "Now, I have a new care taker to take care of that horse; she applied this morning, and dammit brother... She is so hot, attractive, and lovely that it seems as like she has everything I could ever want in a woman!"

I gave Roy a little smack on the shoulder and asked, "Really? So, best of luck, and I hope that you'll find some peace this year—" The sight of the woman, who was holding hay grass in one hand and wearing a brown hat, caused my eyes to bulge out of their sockets. She was wearing a white knee-length dress. She appeared in a good mood and was smiling while looking around. My jaw clenched in disgust as I asked for clarification, "Why is she here?"

Roy cheerfully responded, "Yes, she is the woman I've been talking about!"

As I stood in the woman's path with my fists clenched on both sides, she stepped back and looked up to see my face for the first time. When she first saw me, her dark brown eyes enlarged to a circle, and she gasped and took a few scared steps back before asking, "T-Thaddeus?"

It looked like Roy was ready to start talking, but I interrupted him and said, "Long time no see, sweetheart." I gave her a malicious grin, and she responded with a scowl while looking at me with her adorable round eyes.
