Curse For Alpha: Betrayed Luna
Chapter 22

Audrey accompanied Alfan to lunch and study, after which he would rest.

"Mommy... There was a teacher who said that every child will have two parents each. I wonder why I've never seen my father," she said suddenly, causing Audrey to pause.

She didn't expect Alfan to ask about it sooner than she thought. Staying where she was, Audrey stared at Alfan who was eating casually as if he didn't replace the previous question strange.

Sensing that Alfan was no longer asking questions, Audrey decided to keep quiet as well and not respond. For now it was too soon for her son to know, because everything was not as easy as Alfan thought.

"After this, take a shower and rest. No need to study first because you seem to be too tired today. It's been a long time coming home these past two days, hasn't it?"

Alfan shook his head. "I still have to learn some numbers. I have to master them all, because the teacher said we shouldn't work or study too much but if we get good enough grades then we can get a better education and school after we leave here. I want to make Mommy proud, so I have to do a lot of things. Mommy has done a lot for me so far so I have to repay her," Alfan said, making Audrey sigh softly.

"You don't have to struggle too much, you're still very young, sweetheart," Audrey said gently, making Alfan look at her.

"But a boy can't be too lazy and play too much, Mommy. I have to be a smart boy to make Mommy proud," he said, making Audrey speechless. "I see a lot of rich men and fancy cars here. So that means I have to have great ability to earn money. I can't be lazy or it will have a bad impact on our lives. I just want to make Mommy live well later without having to work hard all my life."

Her son's wish was a noble one, Audrey realized, so she smiled softly and rubbed Alfan's head gently.

"Mommy knows you're a good boy, but it doesn't need to be forced even when you're still in the playground, Alfan. Mommy doesn't force you to succeed at anything because you have to think about your childhood too. Look, when you get to elementary school you can fight hard to get good grades. Without you struggling now, Mommy can also provide a good education. So, you don't have to worry."

Alfan looked at his mother and finally nodded. He couldn't force his thoughts and his mother's thoughts, because after all he also didn't want his mother to suffer too much. Silently he could still do it, making his mother understand that he would fight together.

His mother had struggled a lot so far so Alfan just wanted to help her. He wouldn't want to be a kid who just played a lot, it would only create problems and nothing he could gain in the future.

After eating, Audrey took him to his room to shower and rest. After Alfan lay down on the bed, Audrey came out and let him rest.

She returned to his room and stopped when she saw Aldrick there. The man seemed to be standing with a calm face, making her sigh and walk on without a care in the world.

"Why don't you tell him he has a father?"

"Not yet," Audrey replied and stirred some drinking water that she had infused with medicinal ingredients. "If I tell her now, her life and education will be disrupted, especially if she replaces out about who he really is. It's too risky for a child who doesn't live in the same culture and place to know. He won't even want to get along, because even without knowing, it's difficult for him to get along with anyone. I don't want him to become an isolated child just because of his differences." "You just need to tell him who his father is, without telling him who he is."

"Alfan will replace out eventually," Audrey replied with a calm look. "Now that he knows won't change the fact that he won't be able to live with his father. I don't know how much longer I'll survive, especially now that I'm also in the treatment phase and I don't know if I'll get the right results. If I can't live and accompany her, you can come and admit who you really are, and you can replace me. There's no need to be too forceful because I know that all of that won't be able to change any reality."

Aldrick shook his head. "You have a natural healing system inside you so there's no way you'll get hurt. You can't just leave because I know that you are that strong. Wounds can be healed and the Moon Goddess never told me that you were short-lived," he said confidently making Audrey stare at him.

"What did the Moon Goddess say again?"

"You have a good life, Audrey. Although the Moon Goddess did not say any other words, she did say that I will be healed when you come back with me. I know that you might misunderstand after I say this but I have no intention of returning to you just because I got this curse. You must have lived a long life and if you didn't you would have just left. One day you will see your son become the heir to the throne in the Werewolf kingdom and world, it is bound to happen and you have nothing to fear."

Audrey smiled softly and sighed. "Even if you don't remarry another woman. No one can see what the future holds so I don't want to get my hopes up. We are indeed a legal married couple but I told you I can't do things like husband and wife. You are a figure that I respect so I accepted you here. But for the rest, nothing has changed. You'll understand if you really understand it.

"You never loved me, it will only be a problem if you still think you love me. So it's best not to do too much if you feel everything will just end up in vain. I know you're not stupid enough to understand that. But if you don't get anything out of it you'll only lose if you keep doing it. It would be better for you to remarry if you're open-minded."

"I'll keep my mind closed."

Audrey looked at her.

"No matter how the world changes but I will never change my decision. I will never make everything a mistake again. I'm just asking why you didn't tell Alfan the truth so that you wouldn't have to say anything that would cause trouble with the pain in your own heart."

Audrey sighed and laid down on the bed. "I'm tired, my energy is pretty depleted because I'm on a pretty high medication. Later when you've had enough here you can go back to your room or the clan because I won't be so conducive the next few days. Once I restore all my energy I'll treat you, you'll be healed soon so I'll have to do some serious treatment to do so."

Aldrick actually hated himself for being too weak and unable to do anything for that woman. Even though Audrey had fought a lot for their clan but even now she was still struggling and nothing had changed. Aldrick hated himself for always troubling this woman when if he wanted to make amends, he should be able to become a useful person for this woman.

"However, would I care about her if I had the power and never got a curse like this? No, right? Maybe I wouldn't care about her the same as when I was still together with Emily. There will be no change, I'm weak and helpless and just feel sorry. It's only natural that Audrey doesn't want to come back to me even now."

Aldrick was silent looking at Audrey who had gone to bed to rest herself. He almost fell back into his thoughts of guilt and regret but then he shook his head when he realized that he wouldn't be able to solve anything just by regretting. He had already gotten the chance to make things right so he couldn't possibly just fall for this situation that made him a stupid and useless man. The princess was even still willing to fight when she was injured and needed serious treatment, Audrey didn't even show that she was struggling in front of their child, Audrey still tried his best to be a reliable person.

Audrey even promised to treat her when she recovered. There are many things that this woman has said and promised to her so she is unlikely to give up just because of this. Audrey is such a strong figure so as an Alpha she must not fall and become weak just because of her regrets.

"We brought honey from the white mountain that you can consume to maintain your stamina and energy, Alpha. Then the healer also gave a medicine that he said could be useful for Luna's healing process. The healer said this medicine can be taken later tonight when the full moon is bright, it's a 100 year old medicine that he has kept and can restore energy. Actually this medicine is also good if taken by you because you will be able to have energy without running out quickly. But if you want to give it to Luna, it will also be useful because Luna will treat you. You can also choose between the two, if you want to make a decision."

Aldrick opened the golden box the omega had given him. A sparkling gold-colored grain appeared inside making Aldrick smile softly.

"There is only one grain?"

The omega nodded and said softly. "This is a relic of the healer's ancestors, the medicine can only be made one time and cannot be carelessly and must be stored for hundreds of years to obtain great efficacy. Because Luna and Alfa have great abilities so it is indeed very good if you take this medicine but in this concept he had wanted to give it to Luna but because you are also sick and worse than Luna so I was asked to deliver it and you can decide who will take it," he said making Aldrick sigh.

"I'll give it to Luna, I've already had the green liquid which has the same effect although it's lower and not as strong as this medicine. But it's enough to keep my energy from running out. As for Luna she has to prepare her own medicine and is too tired for that. If I give this medicine to her then she'll heal faster and the faster she heals then she'll replace it easier to treat me, so to speak, so we'll heal together one day. I will not accept this medicine for myself," she said making the omega look down in understanding.

Audrey walked into the kitchen and saw those who were talking. The omegas were two wolves who were pretty and young enough that Audrey would not care if they were even related to Aldrick. This man found it hard to resist the charms of beautiful women within his reach.

"Luna, we've cooked the food for tonight."

Audrey looked at one of the omegas. "Who asked?"

"We took the initiative ourselves," the omega said politely. "Luna, Luna needs to rest fully. Let us take care of the house, after all Luna is on medication so there's no need to do too many tiring activities."

Audrey was silent, staring at the food on the table. Back when she was because she remembered that they never cared about her too much like this because she was just a display Luna. Aldrick did not allow them to serve her too much. Why should they bother now that she was no longer a Luna?
