His Weakness

I grimaced softly and scratched my head, which wasn't itchy, of course I didn't know the damn man's name because I'd only just met him. I explained it so many times that they still didn't believe that I wasn't the Aluna they knew.

"Tsk, I told you not to protest too much. Just tell me his name," I forced her.

Afrow gritted her teeth, but her lips were slightly open, her eyes were averted, it was very clear that she was very hesitant and also afraid, but she also seemed unable to refuse.

"But to mention his name is a dangerous thing for a lowly werewolf like me. I feel unworthy," Afrow said with low self-esteem and fear.

I rolled my eyeballs in disgust, everyone in this world I was living in was so stiff and boring. It's so tacky and weird that they honour the name of someone as narcissistic and self-centred as that man? He doesn't even have any prestige for me.

"Tsk, that sucks. I'm going to be disappointed," I said, pretending to sulk. "I'm pregnant and I have cravings. I wanted to hear you say Mr Alpha's real name, but I had to endure my baby's cravings for something so trivial."

"Stop talking nonsense, only I can say my own name. My name is James. James Voghmoon. Are you satisfied?"

That annoying man appeared again out of nowhere, he came suddenly without making any noise like a ghost. I didn't even hear the footsteps from before.

I smiled in satisfaction from behind my head, deliberately turning my back on them as I pretended to sulk so they wouldn't read my act. And it worked.

I want to test how much affection this man has for the future heir to his throne, I can gauge how I will behave in this castle if I already know how much weakness he has for these babies.

"Oh yeah? You think that makes me happy? I'm annoyed instead," I said as I turned round. "I don't want you to say your name! It's someone else! Never mind, I'll just cry. Let me and the babies run out of steam from disappointment and crying."

James and Afrow stared at each other and immediately looked back at me, looking quite panicked that I had started to change my expression to a sad one. I pretended to be on the verge of tears, even though I didn't feel sad at all. It turns out I have a talent for acting and I just realised it.

"Don't go overboard! It's just abuse and you're making a big deal out of it? Don't make it up..."

"It's true, these babies and I aren't really important here, our request is just a silly thing. OK, I see," I cut James off, pretending to wipe away my tears.

I stomped my feet away and threw myself onto the bed, pretending to cry into the pillow and covering my face with it.

"King Alpha, forgive me if I am presumptuous. But I think you should convince Madame Aluna. She wants to be understood more," Afrow suggested to James.

I who had been pretending to cry under my pillow, smiled triumphantly; if I use this pregnancy as a way to get what I want, I may be able to get everything from here. That's how I think now.

"Tsk, I persuaded that woman? Since when does an honourable Alpha like me do such a stupid thing..."

"I didn't ask you to do that! Forget about me and those babies! Maybe.... Me and the babies will disappear from this world because you know we are not wanted here, especially the babies who feel that way because they have very tender feelings," I said, scaring James while still hiding my face under the pillow.

James groaned in annoyance and ruffled his own hair, obviously frustrated by my excessive behaviour. Honestly, I was embarrassed by my own behaviour, but I wanted to show James what it was like to comply with the ridiculous demands of other selfish people.

James cackled repeatedly, unable to move as I used the baby in my womb as a tool to pressure James. Whether he wanted to or not, James would have done anything for the babies he so desperately wanted.

"Then what do you want? You've been crying and wailing like a child! I don't know what to do!" James cried with all the emotion he could muster.

I just giggled from behind my pillow, but I still showed that I was very sad, even if I was lying about it.

"King Alpha, it will affect Madam's feelings. I'm sorry to sound presumptuous, but right now Madam Aluna's emotions must be controlled by her pregnancy," Afrow said to James.

James, who was confused and also emotional, immediately glared and snapped at Afrow.

"What should I do then? What am I supposed to do with someone who's crying but won't tell me what they're crying about!" James rubbed his face in frustration. "OK, just tell me what you want and I'll do it."

I smiled crookedly and slowly moved the pillow away from my face, also wiping away the fake tears that were still wetting my eyes and face, my puffy eyes were really helping me now.

"I want you to apologise to all your servants and pack members for scolding them," I said in a nasal voice.

James gaped in disbelief, he said nothing and just stared. Afrow, who was standing next to him, did not dare to react much, just remained silent, glancing at his leader and occasionally looking down.

"Don't laugh," James said, turning to Afrow who didn't even dare to look at him.

"S-sorry King Alpha, but I am not laughing," Afrow replied with a bow.

Seeing this, I immediately hit the pillow with an annoyed look, pretending to sulk again so James wouldn't show his annoying attitude.

"Ouch! My tummy hurts! I think my baby is too sad because his dad is selfish," I grimaced, holding my stomach.

James fidgeted when he heard my stomach ache, he immediately approached me and tried to make sure my foetus was okay now.

"Get away from me! I don't want to be approached by a rude man! Let me and the babies feel the pain," I said, throwing a pillow at James.

James was eager to get angry, but he preferred to persuade me to stop sulking and crying.

"All right, but you have to calm down. I'll do as you ask," James said.

I looked at James suspiciously, I wasn't sure a man of James' stature would do something so contrary to his arrogant nature.

"I need to see it in person," I said with a searching look.

"Yes, you can see it. But you have to promise you won't do anything stupid again, I won't forgive you if anything bad happens to my future babies," James said convincingly, but with emphasis.

I smiled happily and crossed my arms over my chest. "Okay, deal. I'll play it cool."

James breathed a sigh of relief and got ready to leave the bedroom, him casually walking away from us, me seeing how relaxed he was obviously not going to let him. I put a grin on my face.

"Eits! I want some strawberry cake too," I said before she left.

"Yes, yes, yes. Whatever you want, all the food you want will be delivered to this room soon."

"Okay, I'll see you soon," I smiled triumphantly.
