Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

She looked familiar.

Suddenly, he was able to match the person in the picture with the one in his mind. The very next second, Dave slammed on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt.

A curious expression descended on his face as he stared at Alpha Kilian ‘s wallpaper. The frowning Alpha Kilian looked at him from the corner of his eye. “What’s wrong?” “The woman on your wallpaper, is she your girlfriend?” Dave asked in sotto voce.

Alpha Kilian glanced at his wallpaper which was a picture of Nelly looking downward. With her hair draped freely on her shoulder, she exuded an invigorating aura. He then shifted his attention to Dave. “What about it?”

As the scene in the restaurant emerged in his mind, Dave pursed his lips in hesitation before speaking. “If I’m not wrong, she’s the beauty I saw in the restaurant just now.”

Widening his eyes, Alpha Kilian asked in a low voice, “Are you sure?”

Dave took another look at the picture. “I’m not entirely sure, but her looks and charm are… unmistakable.”

Without another word, Alpha Kilian opened the door and sprinted back to where they came from. As they hadn’t driven for long, they weren’t really far from the restaurant.

A conflicted look flashed across Dave’s eyes as he sat in the car and stared into the rearview mirror, watching Alpha Kilian run.

After lingering for a few seconds, he spun the car around and followed the latter.

Upon returning to the restaurant, Alpha Kilian searched every corner but failed to find Nelly anywhere. Consequently, he began to grow desperate.

“Dave, did you see where she was headed?” Alpha Kilian asked anxiously.

Dave’s eyes were calm. “She might have already left.”

All of a sudden, Alpha Kilian smashed his fist against the wall. “If only I had arrived earlier, I might have been able to see her.”

In the meantime, Dave was scanning their surroundings and noticed a surveillance camera nearby. If I’m not wrong, the camera should have captured her presence.

Hence, he walked to the reception. “I would like to see the surveillance footage for the last ten minutes or so.”

Scrutinizing the two of them, the staff could see that the two men before him were extremely distinguished. Nonetheless, he still had rules to follow. “Sir, we’ll need my boss’ permission before you can see-”

Dave, not wanting to waste any time, plonked a wad of cash in front of the staff.

The receptionist’s expression changed at once. “Of course, if you have lost something, I’m more than happy to give you access to it.”

With that, they began to review the surveillance footage.

As Alpha Kilian and Dave watched from the side, the feed was rewound to more than ten minutes ago.

It showed a child rushing across the restaurant and falling down. Subsequently, the figure of a beautiful woman helped him up.

Even though all he could see was a silhouette, Alpha Kilian instantly recognized her as Nelly . It wasn’t until she turned around and he could see her face that he clenched his fists tightly.

It’s her! That’s really her! She’s doing fine. She doesn’t just look unharmed; her face is even glowing. Alpha Kilian was overwhelmed with rage, desperation, and relief at the sight of her.

Nevertheless, the anger he felt paled in comparison to the relief at knowing she was safe. “Is she the reason why you want to see the feed?” the receptionist asked.

“Do you know her?” Alpha Kilian responded.

The staff shook his head. “I don’t know her, but she has dined here twice and always left a generous tip. That’s why I clearly remember her. However, she has settled the bill and left a short while ago.”

As Alpha Kilian ‘s eyes narrowed at the figure in the surveillance feed, he asked, “Do you have a surveillance camera at the entrance?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“We do, but it was broken since last week, and we haven’t repaired it yet,” the receptionist replied. Alpha Kilian ‘s face darkened in response.

Meanwhile, Dave picked up a pen and paper on the table and began scribbling a string of numbers.

“Next time the lady comes here, give me a call at once.” After handing over the number, he brought out another wad of cash to go along with it.

The receptionist’s eyes lit up. “I understand. No problem.”

“Also, circulate the woman’s photo among the people in the restaurant. Whoever is able to locate her will be well-rewarded,” Dave instructed.

The receptionist felt as if he had struck the lottery. “Don’t worry. If she ever returns, I’ll be the first to call you.”

Only then did Dave nod in approval.

Back outside, Alpha Kilian leaned against the car and lit a cigarette.

At that moment, he stared at the surveillance camera above his head and inquired, “Dave, how many exits does this restaurant have?”

“Two?”

Alpha Kilian gestured for him to look at the surveillance camera above.

The restaurant they were in was located on the top-floor balcony, while there was a different establishment downstairs. The moment he saw the surveillance camera, Dave understood at once.

The restaurant they were in was located on the top-floor balcony, while there was a different establishment downstairs. The moment he saw the surveillance camera, Dave understood at once.

Upon hearing his words, Dave pursed his lips tightly.

Even though he had no clue as to what Alpha Kilian had gone through over the past few years, he could clearly feel the latter’s desperation and anxiety.

In contrast to the usual Alpha Kilian , who never seemed to care for anything, this was the first time he saw

his friend visibly worried.

Holding that thought, he threw his arm around Alpha Kilian ‘s shoulder. “Regardless of what you plan to do, you have my unconditional support and blessing.”

At that moment, Alpha Kilian looked at Dave from the corner of his eyes.

As if words were not needed, both men shared a deep and unspoken understanding with each other. Dave added, “I sincerely mean it!”

Alpha Kilian , too, couldn’t help but smile. “I know. I was just thinking of inviting you to be my best man during my wedding.”

At the sound of the suggestion, Dave narrowed his eyes cheekily, “I would advise you to reconsider. Or else, it would be bad if I end up stealing the limelight from you.”

“Even though I have no idea where you got such confidence from, I would like to remind you not to let your imagination run wild.”

Dave burst into laughter.

After their short banter, Alpha Kilian no longer felt as tense. Nevertheless, his eyes were still tinged with anxiety.

At that moment, Dave advised, “I know how concerned you feel right now, and whatever I say won’t change a thing. But, we have ascertained that she’s safe and not in captivity. Isn’t that what’s most

important?”

Alpha Kilian nodded in silence.

He couldn’t deny how relieved he was to learn that she was safe.

“Don’t worry. Since we ran into her today, it means that we’re not far off from finding her,” Dave reassured him.

His words triggered an idea in Alpha Kilian ‘s mind. “Dave, do you remember what the receptionist said just now?”

“What?”

“He mentioned that she had dined in the restaurant twice. That’s an indication that she lives nearby, for she’s someone inherently lazy and would never travel far for a meal. Therefore, she must be staying

around this area!” Alpha Kilian exclaimed.

The more he thought about it, the more certain he became. “That’s right. This has to be it. She has never been picky about food and would definitely choose someplace nearby!”

No sooner had Alpha Kilian finished than an idea struck Dave. Without a moment’s hesitation, he picked up his phone to make a call.

A few minutes later, Dave came over and looked at Alpha Kilian . “I have ordered my men to move into this area. Don’t worry; they will sweep every corner of this place, and we will definitely find her.”

As Alpha Kilian stared at the surroundings, an unfathomable look glistened in his eyes. Nelly , no matter where you are, I’ll definitely find you!

Meanwhile, Nelly had returned to the hotel.

After taking a quick bath, she walked up to the computer and turned it on with a solemn expression. It was then that her phone suddenly rang.

Thinking that it was Boss, she froze when her phone indicated it was Alpha Wade .

Alpha Kilian must have realized that I’ve left by now. As for Tony and the rest, they are probably aware of the same too.

After giving it some thought, she decided to take the call. “Grandpa.”

“Nelly , are you busy?” Alpha Wade asked.

From his tone, Nelly could tell that Alpha Wade wasn’t aware of the matter yet. “I’m not busy. I’m just resting.”

“When will you be done over there?”

“It’ll still take some time, as the matter is more complex than I imagined,” Nelly explained. “Complex? Even for you?” Alpha Wade was surprised.

“Grandpa, I’m talking about the collaboration, not the actual matter itself,” Nelly elaborated.

“It’s not that bad then. I was wondering what sort of problem was capable of causing my granddaughter grief.” Alpha Wade chuckled over the phone.

His words filled Nelly with a sudden sense of guilt.

She was well aware that given Alpha Wade ‘s advanced age, it was her duty to be by his side, taking care of him.

He should be living out his last years in peace instead of spending them worrying about her.

At the same time, Alpha Wade continued nagging her over the phone. “No matter what, remember to be more vigilant when you’re out and avoid going out alone at night…”

“Grandpa!” Nelly interrupted him all of a sudden. “Hmm?”

“If the negotiations for the collaboration are successful, I’ll tell my boss that I won’t be going on business trips anymore. Going forward, I’ll just stay home to keep you company. How about that?” Nelly suggested.

Alpha Wade was briefly stunned before he chuckled. “Will your boss agree to that?”

“If he doesn’t, I’ll just quit since I’ve made enough money anyway. When the time comes, I’ll take you on a trip around the world,” Nelly replied.

Her words brought a smile to Alpha Wade ‘s face. “All right then. I’m looking forward to it.” “Mmm-hmm!”

“Anyway, I won’t hold you back from your work any longer. Let me know when you return home, and I’ll cook up a feast for you,” Alpha Wade said in an affectionate tone.

“All right,” Nelly answered in acknowledgment. “All right,” Nelly answered in acknowledgment.

“By the way, do you know that Thalia has taken Tony and Ben on a trip to the neighboring Moonwalk pack ?” Alpha Wade suddenly inquired right before he ended the call.

“The neighboring Moonwalk pack ? When?”

“Two days ago. The moment you left, Donna rejoined the film crew while the boys went on their trip, leaving both Alpha king Larry and myself alone at home.”

Nelly was taken aback. “What about Alpha Kilian ?”

“I’m not sure about him. He hasn’t shown up over the last few days,” Alpha Wade replied.
