Pursuing My Rejected Alpha

322 Jealousy Did Not Go Well With Neglect

“No!” Ronan shouted, aghast.

He launched himself from the bed and grabbed Lucien’s wrist to stop him.

“What are you doing, Lulu???”

Lucien raised an eyebrow and gave him a look.

“Didn’t we agree that I stay with Anna for the duration of the trip?”

They did, and Ronan did not forget, but he was too unwilling. That’s why he made sure that they had one master bedroom and two smaller children’s bedrooms.

The Alpha peeled his mate’s fingers off the luggage handle and hug him from behind like an overgrown bear.

“Lulu~... I don’t feel so good. I didn’t sleep well last night. Stay with me, I need you to rub my back to sleep.”

“...”

.....

And why exactly didn’t he sleep well the previous night? Maybe because he fooled around with Lucien too much???

And then he had the face to complain to Lucien?

Disgruntled, the Luna squeezed the Alpha’s face in response.

“Shameless!” he hissed.

Ronan was still not willing to let his Luna go to Annalynne. He could not believe that he won against Kinnon but had to lose against Annalynne.

What’s with these Alphas and their vexation on his fated mate???

“Lulu~”

Ronan pressed a kiss along Lucien’s jawline.

“If you are worried about Anna and Lowell, you can rest your mind. Look, I arranged for two smaller bedrooms. Anna and Lowell did not have to sleep together.”

Implied was “So you and I can sleep together in the big master bedroom.”

Lucien rolled with his eyes.

The Alpha was cunning, but he overlooked something.

“I already promised Anna to stay with her,” he said. “Don’t worry, the bed is big enough for us two to squeeze together...”

“OVER MY DEAD BODY!” Ronan howled.

He cursed his ingenuity. Or better said his stupidity.

How could he forget his mate’s righteous behavior? Since he already promised to stay with his sister, he would keep the promise even if they only had a broom chamber to sleep in!

Ronan sighed heavily.

He slumped against Lucien’s body and with the smallest voice said, “You can take the master bedroom. I will take the small bedroom.”

“...”

Lucien’s lips curled up into a smile.

So Ronan preferred to sleep in a small bed than having Lucien share a small bed with Annalynne?

The man wanted to laugh, but Ronan looked so sorrowful.

“Alright,” he patted the side of the sullen man’s head. “I will tell Anna the good news then.”

“...”

Good news for Annalynne indeed.

She did not even spare Ronan a glance when she dragged her luggage into the master bedroom, shutting the door at the poor Alpha’s face.

Ronan was so dismayed in his smaller bedroom that he started to concoct evil plans in his mind. Something that involved leaving Annalynne and Lowell alone in the next port, for example...

The ship started sailing one hour after all passengers went into their cabins. Annalynne dragged everyone to go out to their lavish, private deck to enjoy the fresh air outside.

There was a swimming pool outside with six lounge chairs, three on one side and three on the other side.

While serving a round of fruit punch to refresh everyone, the butler informed them that “Massage therapy is part of the package.”

Four women were thus called to undo every knot in their tense muscles and help ease the blood circulation in their bodies.

For once, Annalynne did not kick a fuss when Ronan wanted to lie next to Lucien during the massage.

Dripping with cold sweat thanks to the Alpha’s sharp glares, the masseuse who massaged Lucien could barely do her work.

She did not need to ask to know that they were a couple.

Every slight moan and every hum that escaped Lucien was reason enough for Ronan to boil with jealousy.

“Does it feel good, Lulu?” he asked through gritted teeth. His smile was so terrifying that the masseuse started to tremble violently.

She only dared to touch Lucien’s shoulders and arms. Anything lower and she might lose her hands.

Lucien opened his eyes and turned his head to the side to look at his ridiculously possessive mate.

“Mhm. Why? Do you not feel good?”

Ronan’s face crumpled like one of the waste paper balls in the trash can.

“No,” he replied angrily.

“You can stop,” he barked at his own masseuse. The elder woman was perplexed. In her long years of working as a masseuse, she rarely met such a picky client.

What a pity because he was such a handsome man with powerful upper half and impressively muscular lower half, too.

Ronan put his bathrobe on and walked back into the suite without looking back.

Lucien chuckled at his mate’s childish attitude.

Then again, looking at Ronan’s frame from behind, he really looked too good.

Their nightly exercise might contribute to the Alpha’s sexy body.

“Thank you,” Lucien told her masseuse, who was just thanking the gods for Ronan’s departure. “I don’t need more massage. On the other side, can I get a bottle of massage oil?”

The two masseuses exchanged confused glances. The butler was the one who answered Lucien, “I will handle it, Mr. Clearwater. What kind of massage oil do you want?”

“Hmm, what do you recommend?”

“I will bring you a list to pick from. Each massage oil has its own healing properties.”

“Alright.”

Ronan sulked in his room for the entire day. He even refused to join the other three for lunch. He asked to have his lunch brought into his bedroom instead, citing the necessity to do some work on his notebook.

The truth was that he was not working at all.

He kept glancing at the clock and counted the minutes until Lucien came into his bedroom to accompany him.

Minutes turned into an hour.

An hour turned into a few hours.

The sun was setting outside, and Lucien still did not come!

Angrily, the Alpha shut his notebook with a loud clack and marched outside to find Lucien.

To his greatest dismay, the living room was empty.

Even the butler was gone!!!

Ronan stared at the empty room in shock.

How could they leave him alone like that???
