Avenge My Son's Death on the Devil Alpha
Chapter 3
Not long after, I saw Alpha Kellan walking towards me, holding Selene's shoulders gently. His childhood sweetheart cradled an urn in her hands, her face worn with grief.
"Alpha Kellan, this cemetery is so peaceful with all the birds and flowers. My Cherry would have loved it here, don't you think?" She spoke softly, her voice tinged with sadness.
Alpha Kellan looked torn, about to respond, but then he noticed me nearby. The pity in his eyes faded into indifference as he approached with a frown.
"Step aside," he ordered coldly, his tone cutting through the air.
I didn't want to exchange another word with him, so I kept myself mum. How could I face the person who neglected my child? It was funny to see him care more for his other woman than his son. Ridiculous.
Selene came closer, her voice gentle but carrying an air of dominance.
"Mira, Cherry's sudden passing left me devastated. I needed Alpha Kellan by my side. Please understand," she said, her eyes challenging, silently implying her place beside him.
"Your man is quite attentive," I replied flatly, devoid of emotion.
Upon hearing my tone, Alpha Kellan frowned, defending Selene. "Can't you be reasonable? Selene is grieving deeply over Cherry's death, and you're being sarcastic?"
Seeing him rush to Selene's defense, I glanced at him, then pushed his shoulder away and walked off without another word. What would I expect from him? He would always act like a hero whenever she was around!
You couldn't even make sure your son was safe, Kellan.
As I walked away, the Alpha seemed stunned. I was planning to get away from them, but he was adamant about making me stay.
Seconds later, Alpha Kellan caught up with me, whispering urgently, "Is this all because I left Ryder alone in the woods? He's capable of finding his way home! Why are you being so petty?"
I coldly replied without looking at him, "Yes, it's all my fault."
Surprised by my indifferent response, Kellan lowered his voice, trying to explain. "Cherry's death hit Selene hard. I was worried she might do something reckless alone, so I went to comfort her. I thought Ryder was fine when I left him. I'll make it up to him when I return. He's a good kid; he'll forgive me, won't he?"
If he had paid more attention to our family, he would have known what happened to his son. But he didn't. His focus was entirely on Selene. Even now, he still doesn't know that his son died.
Why didn't I see how pathetic he was as a person before? Why did I mate with him when he was nothing but trash?
"You've lost your chance," I said, walking away again, not wanting to engage further with him.
However, he reached out, grabbing my arm. "What do you mean, I've lost my chance?"
Noticing my unusually cold demeanor, the Alpha seemed willing to lower his defenses and make amends for the first time. But after what happened to Ryder, forgiveness was out of the question. I could never bring myself to forgive and face him again.
I walked away from them, but before I reached the cemetery gate, a mind link from the gatekeeper shook me to my core.
"Luna, someone is digging up your son's grave!"
My heart felt like it had been struck by an arrow. Without hesitation, I turned back and sprinted towards Ryder's resting place, everything else forgotten.
Ryder had always been cheerful and loved plants, especially the sun-loving ones he hoped to fill our backyard with one day. His wish went unfulfilled in life, so after his passing, I planted many on his grave.
As I approached, I saw Selene directing two wolf warriors to dig up Ryder's resting place. The plants I had nurtured were strewn around.
"What are you doing?!" I yelled, pushing past the warriors. "Who gave you permission to dig here?"
Selene, feigning fear, retreated into Kellan's arms. "I thought this was an abandoned grave since there's no tombstone. It's full of beautiful flowers, so I thought Cherry would rest peacefully here. I asked the gatekeeper to inform the deceased's family in our pack. You know, I planned to compensate them. I know their families wouldn't object. So why are you yelling? You're scaring me."
Selene always played the delicate lady, but her actions sickened me. Ignoring her, I grabbed a shovel and hastily began filling in the grave again. This place was my son's resting place! I wouldn't allow anyone to disturb him. Not Selene, and absolutely not even Kellan.
