My Alpha Wants Two Lunas? I'M Done (Laila and Holt) novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277 A New Queen?

Third–person POV:

The families living along the same street were at their wits‘ end.

It was a dead–end alley, with only one exit, and Holt’s den just happened to sit right at the entrance. Anyone trying to leave had to squeeze past the reeking pile of filth, holding their breath the whole way.

Some people cursed as they went to clean it up, but the next day, another bucket would appear. Worse still, some with poor eyesight, stumbling around in the dark at night, got the wrong door and dumped their filth onto the neighboring houses instead.

Those neighbors were furious, so they went straight to find Holt.

When he wasn’t there, they went to Victoria and made it clear that they were demanding an explanation.

Victoria didn’t bother arguing and went directly to Maris.

The people living near Holt’s den were never easy to deal with. Anyone else would’ve thought twice before provoking them. But Maris? She didn’t care.

She struck first.

Three people ended up with broken bones, while one had his leg twisted clean off.

Of course, they were werewolves. They would heal eventually, but the suffering was real.

Because of the chaos at home, Holt began making repeated mistakes in his duties.

King Vaughn had originally intended to promote him, but after this incident, he was furious. He snapped to Walter, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear!”

Still, there were very few capable generals left in the kingdom.

After some thought, Vaughn decided to give him one more chance. He ordered Bill to pass along a message–Holt was to take Maris to the Blackrock Pack and personally apologize to Margaret.

At present, Holt was serving under Bill, and he was responsible for guarding the Royal Court.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Bill accepted the order and left.

An hour later, Caleb entered and presented the donation ledger that Margaret had written.

Vaughn’s eyes immediately fell on the first name–Laila Conlay.

His fingers moved on their own, lightly brushing over it twice. Then, his gaze deepened.

Caleb paused slightly in surprise. But the next moment, Vaughn returned to his usual cold composure.

“Post the donation list,” he ordered. “Let everyone see who’s actually contributing.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Caleb responded, though his surprise only grew.

There had been many donation drives before, but the lists were never made public. This time…

He couldn’t help but glance at Vaughn again. The king was still staring at Laila’s name, lost in thought.

A shocking idea suddenly flashed through Caleb’s mind.

No. That couldn’t be.

He tested the waters carefully. “Your Majesty… have you chosen a candidate for the new queen?”

A few days ago, the betas had submitted two candidates, but Vaughn had said he would consider them and never followed up.

Vaughn frowned slightly. “Those two aren’t suitable. Find me two more.”

His tone was calm, his attitude seemingly open.

Caleb quietly let out a breath of relief.

Good, so it wasn’t what he thought.

That afternoon, the donation list was posted.

When people saw that Laila had donated one hundred thousand dollars, discussions about her and Maris exploded once again.

One had donated a fortune, while the other had insulted an old woman and given nothing.

Praise for Laila flooded in.

Of course, there were always a few dissenting voices. Some argued that Laila was already wealthy, so what was a hundred

thousand to her?
