But Alexs protest was cut short by Arnolds raised hand . No buts , Arnold said . Apologize now . Reluctantly , Alex mumbled an apology to the maid , who gave him a small , forgiving smile . Afterward . Arnold placed a hand on Alexs shoulder . I know youre upset , and I know you miss your mom . But throwing tantrums wont bring her back any faster . Alexs lip trembled , and tears welled up in his eyes . She doesnt care about me anymore , does she ? Neither do you . Arnold sighed , pulling Alex into a hug Thats not true . Your mom loves you , and so do 1. But sometimes , people need time for themselves . Shell come around . Youll see . Alex sniffled , wiping his face with his sleeve . Really ? Really , Arnold said , ruffling Alexs hair . Now , how about this ? This weekend , Ill take you to see Linda . We can spend the day together . How does that sound ? Alexs eyes lit up , his tears momentarily forgotten Really ? We can go see Linda ? Of course , Arnold said with a small smile . But only if you promise to be a good boy from now on . That includes eating your dinner without any drama . Alex hesitated but then nodded eagerly . Okay , I promise The maid brought out a fresh plate of food , and this time Alex ate without complaint , his thoughts already wandering to the weekend outing Though he was still a little hurt , the idea of spending time with Linda was enough to lift has spirits . At her workspace , Nora leaned back in her chair , exhaling slowly . The conversation with Leo had been productive , and she felt a sense of accomplishment She glanced at her phone , noticing the time . A flicker of guilt passed through her mind , but she quickly pushed it aside . Alex would be fine . He had Arnold and the maids to take care of him . For once , Nora was putting herself and her work first a decision she didnt regret . Megan gan sat in her office , tapping her pen against the polished surface of her desk as tas snippets of the earlier conversation replayed in her mind . She couldnt believe she hadnt known . For someone who prided herself on being well informed , thay was a glaring og oversight . The revelation that Alpha had a child hit her like a bolt of lightning Chapter 35 But how Megan whispered to herself , her brow furrowing . There had been no whispers , no hints , no public acknowledgment of a Laina . The silence around the matter only deepened her curiosity , and her fingers itched to dial Noras number . After a brief pause to gather her thoughts , she picked up her phone and called . The line clicked , and Noras calm voice came through . Hello ? Megans tone was sharp with urgency . Nora , I just overheard something . Alpha has a child ? There was a moment of silence on the other end before Nora spoke , her words measured and cool . Yes , its true . Alpha admitted it publicly . However , he has never mentioned having a Luna . Megan leaned forward , gripping her phone tighter . Thats so peculiar . It doesnt make sense . Either hes shielding his Luna to keep her safe and out of the spotlight , or- Megan hesitated , lowering her or he doesnt care about her at all . Maybe hes even ashamed of her . Nora remained silent , letting Megans words hang in the air . Megan continued , her voice tinged with speculation . Or … what if the woman who bore his child isnt his Luna at all ? What if she was just … you know , someone he had a fleeting relationship with and now he is the illegitimate child ? The pause from Nara stretched long enough for Megan to feel slightly uncomfortable . Finally , Nora spoke , her tone as composed as ever . Thave things to do , Megan . Well have to talk another time . Before Megan could press further , the call ended .
