Unclaimed Luna’s Desire
Chapter 29 Regrettable Decision

Aelros' POV:

When I finished training, Ellie ran over with a towel in hand.

Ellie begged me to help her with training, her eager eyes making it hard for me to refuse. "I want to train with you guys, can I? I want to become stronger!"

I knew Ellie was strong and brave, always relying on her abilities to become stronger. But I didn't think it was a good idea for her to train with us.

Our training was too tough and dangerous, and many partners got injured.

I didn't want Ellie to get hurt because of this. So I shook my head and refused, "You don't have your own wolf yet and can't keep up with our speed."

In reality, I refused Ellie for another reason that was difficult for me to articulate. The reason for our training was for the upcoming challenge to compete for the Alpha position.

This challenge had only two outcomes: either Joseph would kill me to retain his Alpha position, or I would successfully replace him as Alpha.

I didn't want to involve Ellie in the dangerous and complicated struggle.

It was too risky for Ellie who didn't have her own wolf yet.

Ellie didn't understand the dangers male werewolves faced in the pack. The Silvermoon Pack could only have one Alpha, its decision-maker.

Since becoming a wolf on the day of transformation, I have faced countless attacks from Joseph, Sophia, Walliam, and others. I knew how dangerous the situation was, so I had to keep my distance from Ellie. This was why I had asked Ellie not to reveal our relationship and why it was best for her to stay indoors.

I couldn't allow William and other rivals vying for Alpha status to discover Ellie. While they couldn't harm me directly, they could easily put Ellie in grave danger.

"Ellie, this high-intensity training is too difficult for you." I hoped to discourage Ellie, but I clearly underestimated her.

Ellie was strong and stubborn.

She rejected my proposal, raising her head like a defiant little chick, "I won't cause trouble for you, so let me follow you."

I knew Ellie was persistent and that she would keep talking to me until I agreed to her proposal, just like this morning.I sighed and compromised, "When you have your own wolf, I can train you separately." "Yes!" Ellie cheered and raised her hand.

"But you need to have your own wolf first," I added.

Seeing Ellie's joyful expression, I immediately regretted my decision. I wasn't sure why I had agreed to her request; it was completely troublesome for me and offered no benefit whatsoever.

I considered myself foolish, and Ellie's shining eyes made me lose my rationality, leading me to make such a regretful, ridiculous choice.

...

On the way back, I decided to take Ellie to a restaurant for dinner instead of heading straight home as usual.

The restaurant was a privately customized Western establishment where reservations were required. Its dishes were renowned for being both nutritious and delicious.

When Amy mentioned that Ellie would soon have her own wolf and needed additional nutrition, I reached out to the restaurant owner through mindlink.

'Her body is too weak, and she can't complete the transformation to have a wolf on her transformation day. Most importantly, she can't withstand my training. Since Ellie lives in my house, I have to take responsibility for her.' I deluded myself.

...

Ellie's POV:

Aelros was powerful, and witnessing his strength made me dream of becoming someone like him.

I admired his strength and respected his calm demeanor. I clung to Aelros, pleading with him to teach me even a small measure of his skills so that I could defend myself. I needed to be able to stand up to William and others who had bullied

me.

Fortunately, Aelros eventually agreed, and I was very happy about it.

Aelros was a very good person.

Although I knew that a major reason was his desire to avoid further entanglement with me, I was still pleased with his compromise.For a moment, I even thought he had fallen in love with me. But how could that be? Aelros even took me to a gorgeously decorated restaurant after leaving the training ground.

My heart started to flutter, and my mind started to wander. 'Perhaps, Aelros has changed his mind, and he also has feelings for me?'

I had never been to such a place before. The golden floor, wooden handrails, and metal tables and chairs all looked exceptionally high-end and expensive.

At my foster parents' house, I never dared to eat at the table because eating with me was considered a disgrace to them.

I could only wait for them to leave and eat some leftovers they had left behind. If I didn't follow these rules, I would face punches, kicks, and even beatings with sticks.

And now, standing in the luxurious restaurant, I couldn't help but open my mouth wide.

I had never seen such a luxurious and wonderful restaurant.

I behaved like an ignorant person, touching the table and handrails, like a lively child. Was this a palace?

I couldn't help but want to exclaim, but Aelros quickly ordered me not to make a fuss.

"Sorry." Realizing my rudeness, I quickly covered my mouth and followed Aelros closely, not daring to look around.

The people around me were whispering, seemingly discussing where this uncultured country girl came from. But I didn't care, because Aelros was by my side, and this was my first time dining in a restaurant. As a patron, I was already happy enough.

I didn't care how others looked at me.

Aelros moved around the restaurant like a prince returning to his castle, even pulling out a chair for me to sit down.

"Thank you." I whispered to Aelros and sat down awkwardly.

I had never been to such an upscale place before and felt overwhelmed.

I nervously held my arms, vigilantly surveying my surroundings, anxious that even the slightest mistake on my part could tarnish Aelros's reputation.

"Relax, Ellie. Enjoy your food." Aelros seemed to sense my nervousness and patted my hand to reassure me.

I didn't expect Aelros to remember Amy's casual remark and actually bring me here to supplement nutrition.

Looking at the variety of delicious dishes in front of me, at that moment, I admitted that I had truly fallen in love with Aelros.

Never had a man treated me so considerately and attentively.

I was moved by his actions, and tears welled up in my eyes, ready to fall.
