Her possessive alpha novel Chapter 42

　　Ava’s superpowers

　　“Ahhhh!!! Mommy please don’t go,” Meeka cried. “Don’t leave me, mo-ommy!!!!”

　　“Please!!! Please spare my child’s life. I beg you in the name of the goddess herself, please don’t kill her!!! Let me take her punishment for her, please, spare my little baby!!!” Suri wept uncontrollably, throwing herself at Lucas’s feet, he didn’t respond. He only ordered Kiron and the other guards to take Suri away, so he would be left alone with Meeka.

　　But Suri was worse than a stubborn goat, she fought and fought off the guards. It took a lot of time until she could yield to her power no more, she had tried everything, but these guards were too strong for her. She could only watch in tears as Lucas held little Meeka in his hand while the wolf guards dragged her out of his chambers. She would never forgive herself for telling him the truth, she thought as she wept.

　　**********

　　Little Meeka was very much frightened, she stared up at the big alpha holding her by the hand. Was he going to punish her now for telling Ava to rescue dolly from the bad lake? She wondered.

　　As soon as Suri was out of the room, Lucas turned to Meeka.

　　“Hello, what is your name dear?”

　　“M-m-meeka, please don’t h-hurt me alpha, I didn’t mean t-to h-h-hurt Ava,” Meeka murmured amidst sobs.

　　Upon seeing how terrified the little girl was, Lucas bent so he was on an eye level with her.

　　“Would you like to join me for lunch Meeka?”

　　Lunch? What is lunch and why was he asking Meeka to join him for it? Why was this alpha saying strange words?

　　Lucas noticed her puzzled face and explained in a way she would understand.

　　“Would you like to eat with me Meeka?”

　　Little Meeka should have thought that he’d want to poison her or something, momma had always warned her not to accept food from strangers and scary people, if only Meeka didn’t love food so much.

　　“Yes!” Meeka’s face always brightened up at the sound of food, so much so that she forgot all about the alpha she was scared of a few seconds ago, and now looked forward to what was being served for this “lunch,” he’d asked her to join, her baby teeth shone bright through her mouth as she smiled.

　　After a few moments, Meeka joined Lucas at the table to enjoy the bowls containing grilled turkey, tomato vegetable soup with chicken toppings, and fruits for dessert. Lucas would have gone straight to asking her questions, but he wanted someone to join him to eat today first, even though he did most of the time, he didn’t always love to eat alone, and who better to join him today than Suri’s funny and jovial little angel he’s always heard about?

　　Meeka ate as much food as about her size, eating her stomach full until all she could let out at the end was a burp, she even ate much more than Lucas, who couldn’t help but watch her and smile. He’d forgotten how it felt like to be with a kid, he hadn’t wanted to remember such a happy feeling for a long time because of the pain of the past, but after being with Ava last night, he felt like opening a part of himself he’d shut down for so long. Being with Meeka now, it didn’t hurt as much as he thought it would.

　　Meeka didn’t care if the once-scary alpha was watching her; she’d never seen so much food in her life. It would be a shame to let this all go to waste, she would make sure to eat as much as she could and even give some to Jannie and mommy when she returned, she knew they would love to have some food like this too.

　　After the meal, Meeka remained at the table as the untouched leftover plates were being taken away by Nani and her helpers.

　　“Alpha?”

　　“Yes, Meeka?”

　　“Can you give this food to mommy and Jannie? I’m sure they would love to have some of this nice food too.”

　　“Ok,” Lucas turned to Nani and gave the order with a nod, she bowed and proceeded to do as the little girl had said.

　　As soon as they were alone again, Lucas faced little Meeka again, who just kept staring back.

　　“Meeka, I’m going to ask you some questions, and I want you to tell me the truth, okay?”

　　“Yes alpha, I’ll tell you anything you need to know!” Meeka giddied. She didn’t even know what he was talking about yet, but Meeka already liked this alpha so much, he didn’t seem so scary anymore and she would do as she promised, she would tell him everything.

　　“Why did you take Ava to the lake that day?”

　　Meeka wasted no time in answering.

　　“I wanted her to rescue dolly, the water was holding dolly, it wouldn’t let her go and if I went into the water, it wouldn’t let me go too.”

　　“So, didn’t you think that the water wouldn’t let Ava go too if she went into it?”

　　“Ava had superpowers, the water would not hurt her, only Ava can rescue dolly, that’s what the mean lady said.”

　　Lucas’s brows shot up at the realization.

　　“What mean lady?”
