Alpha’s Vow: Reclaiming his lost Luna

Knight Ashbourne is a pure-blood alpha, an only child of the Ashbourne family who grew up in a very small but loving family. 

He was raised with good values and high morals with high respect for what is just and fair. 

His family is powerful and wealthy but his father always reminds him that he has to work hard to deserve everything he gets because he never knows what could happen in the future.

Knight remembers how his dad used to tell him that they wouldn't be with him, he needed to work and stand on his own.

 Because of this, right after college, he established his little empire. 

Knight was never a fan of academia but he loved games; this is why it didn’t come as a surprise to his parents when he informed them that he was going to develop and build his own Tech Hub, a company that designs and develops gaming software.

It took the pure-blood alpha a few years until his little empire boomed. 

And because he didn’t want the world to know that the Prime Minister's son was responsible for the trending online games, he remained anonymous to the Tech Hub he built. 

He even maintained a type of social distance from his father just in case his choice of career might put his dad in an ugly situation since politics is the dirtiest. 

That is why when he first met Aria, he pretended he had a distant relationship with his father when the truth was that he loved his dad.

Knight had always aspired to be good as the Prime Minister. 

He wanted his parents to be proud of him always in any circumstances. 

So when he heard the little girl who calls herself Kiana, called Alex by her name, he knew something wasn’t not right.

"Aria, Kiki is your daughter!" Knight repeated his words but this time, he wasn't even sure if he was telling that to the omega or if he was just convincing himself that he was right by speaking what was in his mind because the pain in Aria’s eyes in that very moment tells him that he should've just kept quiet.

Aria bit her tongue so hard just so he could stop himself from screaming and cussing Knight the moment she heard what he said.

"Aria..."

"Stop! Just stop."

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you in any way but Ria, that little girl is…”

 "That little girl is Cyrus and  Lexi’s child!  Knight, why would you even bring my daughters into this? " Aria’s voice is full of bitterness and pain.

Knight may not fully understand the difficulties of being a parent who has lost their child, but the tears in Aria's eyes are enough to convey that it is a deeply painful experience that one cannot easily talk about, even years after it has happened.

"Aria I'm sorry but this doesn't make sense to me. You said you lost your child over three years ago and you never even had the chance to see her before you left. And now you come back, your ex 'accidentally' bumped into you and now your best friend is suddenly telling you that they already have a child? probably the same age as your daug……”

"Knight!!"

Aria’s voice booms inside the car she can't bear listening to him any longer. 

She isn't even sure what he is trying to say to her because as far as she knows, there's nothing to tell, Alex and Rina, her best friends, already told her everything she needed to know.

"I heard the girl...Kiana.. she calls Alex. By her name. I'm sure Aria you also already know that she calls herself Kiki because she still can’t pronounce her name well yet. It's normal for a three-year-old." Knight tries to explain his theory again but Aria's ears are already closed as if the Omega didn't want to listen to him at all anymore.

"Lex…: I mean Alex stayed and got closer to Cyrus after I left…, that's probably the reason they immediately had their child. And as for the name……It hurts how Cyrus used my pup's name to…..”

"Bullshit! That's bullshit Aria! Do you even hear yourself? Cyrus is your fated mate. If it's true that you lost your child back then, he wouldn't have fallen for Alex that quickly. Pure Blood doesn’t move on easily Aria! Fated mates or not, we always give our all because when we love there's no half and half, it's always all the way!”

The tension between the two wolves inside the car is so thick that Aria felt like she was suffocating so she rolled down the window. 

Knight felt so bad about lashing out like that on the omega but he doesn’t regret anything he said. 

He may not be entirely sure that the little girl is Aria’s daughter but he is convinced that Kiana isn't Alex’s daughter either.

Aria tried to breathe in and out while trying to calm down when she felt the older's hand on hers. 

She knew Knight was just trying to reason out with her. 

Ever since he confessed his intentions towards her, Knight wanted nothing but the best for her.

she understood where the pure blood was coming from.

"I'm sorry." Knight breaks the silence first Aria might be on scent blocker but her anxiety was written all over her pretty face. 

When he saw the omega rolling down the window, he knew that she was not comfortable with the whole situation anymore.

"I'm really sorry Aria. I just….I don't know what got into me but there's something strange going on. I might probably regret this later on, but Ria...Cyrus has never admitted nor acknowledged Alex Perez as  his mate, not even a girlfriend." Knight informed Aria who was confused because according to Rina, Alex and Cyrus’ relationship was all over the news. 

She even made an effort to avoid the news on TV or even tabloids just not to see those articles about her ex-husband and her other best friend.

"Knight, why are you even insisting on this? Cyrus and I are over! I thought coming out here in the open was the starting point of facing the future. Why are we even fighting over this? over them?" Aria suddenly asked because, to be honest, she would choose any other topic under the sun to talk with Knight about except the Carters and her dead pup.

Knight sighs as he squeezes the dainty hand of the omega.

"I am really sorry for tonight Aria. I know I could've just kept quiet but then all I want is for you to be happy. I saw how you looked at her a while ago and me hearing her called that woman…. She did not say Mummy or Mama made me think that….:.”

"Knight, I already talked to Alex tonight. She was my best friend, she’s still my best friend. Do you think she would tell me that? Alex was the one who called me back then. She was there when we lost my poor little angel. She was there when I begged Cyrus’s father to see her for the last time. So please, let's just leave them alone. I don't want to cause them trouble. I also want them to be happy and maybe Julius and Cyrus would finally forget about me too." Aria explained to Knight whose head was spinning because it was the first time Aria told him about Alex being in the picture for the whole ordeal.

He was already disappointed in himself for hurting and giving Aria false hope, he just decided to keep the questions running in his head to himself.

If Aria decides she wants to move on now, then he will support her. He will make sure that he’s there for her through thick and thin, but that doesn't mean he will stop 

She needed to know that he wasn't making up things about Kiana’s identity. 

He agreed to Aria’s suggestion of dropping it. but he would do his investigation regarding the issue because something is missing in all this.
