Abandoned While Pregnant, Claimed by the Alpha novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168

It was the morning of our last day on this trip.

“Good morning, Ashley. Did you sleep well?”

I struggled to open my eyes, only to be greeted by his sapphire–blue gaze. He was wearing a well–failored navy silk robe, the collar left unbuttoned casually,/showing off his Grecian statue–like chest..

“Not bad,” I replied, curling my arms around his neck with a slight smile.

Hebert let out a low, rich laugh and gently ruffled my messy hair. “This is our last morning here at the Aegean, Ashley. So, tell me, where to next? Say the word, even if you want to chase the northern lights in the Arctic, and I’ll have the flight crew prepare the route in no time. From now on, your wish is my command.”

Staring at his handsome face, my heart was pounding like crazy.

“I’m a little tired, Hebert,” I said, meeting his eyes with unwavering focus, my voice calm yet firm. “I want to go back to Bloodmoon Pack.” Hebert paused for a second, a flicker of surprise crossing his eyes. “Go back? Are you sure, Ashley? Don’t you want to enjoy a few more days of freedom here?”

“I’m sure.” I sat up decisively, letting the expensive silk sheets slide off, exposing my bare torso. “The Omega banquet is about to start, and I need to be there to lead it. Missing it is not an option.”

Hebert raised an eyebrow, his deep, serious eyes showing a hint of playful helplessness. “You’ve got to be kidding, love. You’re such a workaholic. We’re here in the romantic Aegean Sea, and all you can think about is those banquet details?”

“Of course!” I tilted my chin up proudly, the fire of determination rushing through my veins. “I’ve put so much effort into making this happen! And don’t forget, we have that three–month agreement to honor. I need to prove to the whole werewolf continent that my plan works! Omega’s growth and independence won’t hinder those arrogant elites–it’ll actually drive the pack’s progress!”

“Perfect resolve, my queen.” Hebert took a graceful step back, gesturing with an elegant bow. “If that’s your firm decision, then as you wish. We’ll leave for Bloodmoon Pack today.”

Hours later, we boarded the private jet adorned with the Bloodmoon Pack’s exclusive emblem.

The moment my feet touched the cold, solid marble floor of the Bloodmoon Pack estate, the romantic Aegean sea breeze and sunshine instantly faded from my mind. There was no time to dwell on those wild nights and blissful days; I dove straight into work.

I knew exactly what I had to do: lead a team of Bloodmoon Pack’s Omegas in the airport construction project. This wasn’t child’s play–it was a crucial move to prove to the entire werewolf continent the significance and independence of Omegas.

I slammed a stack of weighty reports onto Hebert’s desk. “Hebert, this is a necessary strategic plan.” I met his piercing blue sapphire gaze, my tone firm and straightforward. “Since joining the Bloodmoon Pack, I’ve been covertly observing and recording internal personnel data. I even set up tests to challenge those pompous nobles and Omegas at the bottom rung

Hebert leaned back gracefully on the leather sofa, holding a glass of rich bourbon in his hand. He didn’t interrupt me, just looked at me with a calm, gentle gaze.

“Let’s be honest, those Alphas and Betas with their so–called noble bloodlines they’ve got muscles harder than stone, sure But when it comes to logical thinking and planning? Some of them might as well have rusted scrap metal for brains!”

I waved my arms with passion, the fire of determination surging through my veins. “I chose these Omegas specifically because we need our people to learn those advanced engineering skills. In the future, they’ll be the backbone of Bloodmoon Pack’s entire Infrastructure.”

Taking a deep breath, I pressed both palms firmly on the table, leaning forward with intense focus. “And let’s not forget, those critical project details and core data? They must stay in our hands. No matter how trustworthy a partner seems, we can’t lay all

out cards on the table”

I broke down every part of my plan for hitn, my voice full of conviction. What I really wanted was for him to dive into a heated debate with me or, at the very least, acknowledge iny sharp insight with some genuine praise.

Unexpectedly, Hebert only gave the wine glass in his hand a lazy swirl, the clinking of ice cubes cutting sharply through the quiet of the study, 1

“Whatever you say, Ashley. Can you spend tonight with me?” His tone had a lazy nonchalance. “Do whatever you want. All the rescurces of the Bloodmoon Pack are at your disposal.”

On the surface, those words sounded supportive, even doting, but a strange pang of disappointment churned in my stomach. He wasn’t taking my plans seriously at all! In his deep, dark eyes, I caught a fleeting trace of a perfunctory smirk.

I bit down hard on my lip, mentally forcing myself not to overreact. Then, steeling myself, I pushed forward with my work.

I carefully set the decisive moment for selecting this Omega team to coincide with the Omega banquet during the upcorning celebration. That would be my stage, my moment.

In the following days, I threw myself into the work like a machine running at peak efficiency. I communicated with Boris over encrypted channels, meticulously confirming every detail of the project’s next steps and locking in a strict timeline. Everything was advancing perfectly according to my plan, and I could almost taste the sweet scent of success.
