“What’s there to explain?” Ben looked puzzled with his furrowed brow.
Donna rolled her eyes in exasperation and pouted. “Do I look like a fool to you?”
Tony advanced towards her, cutting through the nonsense. “Did you sniff it out too?”
“I’m also part of the pack, like you, pup! How dare you make a fool of me? Do you think I’m some kind of prey?” Donna snapped, showing her teeth.
In reality, Tony had already anticipated that it was only a matter of time before Donna caught wind of their secret. He tried to ease the situation by saying, “Don’t overthink it. We kept it to ourselves because we didn’t want to disappoint you if things didn’t turn out the way we hoped.”
Donna eyed Tony warily before asking hesitantly, “So, you mean he could be our alpha?”
“Ben and I had a hunch there’s a possibility. We need to confirm it by requesting you to do what you did,” Tony explained.
Donna’s heart raced with excitement at the prospect of Alpha Kilian possibly being her biological father.
Meanwhile, Ben also walked over and sat beside her. “Donna, I bet you’ve noticed the striking resemblance between Tony and Alpha Kilian. Haven’t you?”
After hearing that, Donna turned to Tony and observed his face and eyes, which indeed resembled Alpha Kilian’s. It was like he was a miniature version of the alpha.
Nevertheless, it never occurred to her that Tony could be the alpha’s son. To her, it was just a resemblance that many wolves possessed.
“I was in his presence today. I couldn’t help but imagine how it would be if he was our dad,” Donna mumbled, mesmerized by the thought.
Tony stroked the back of his head subconsciously and said, “Alright, let’s revisit this conversation once we get the results.”
Donna nodded in agreement.
“Mommy will be back soon. Don’t let her sniff anything out of the ordinary. Regardless of the result, we continue to live our lives,” Tony reminded them sternly.
“Got it,” Donna replied without hesitation.
After he left her room, Tony headed for his own. Ben followed closely behind and asked curiously, “What’s the plan? We’re still pups. Who would agree to a DNA test from us? They might even question us endlessly.”
“I plan to have it done overseas,” Tony replied nonchalantly, turning on his computer.
“Are you going to send it to Sara?” Ben asked right away.
Tony keyed in a set of Ustranian codes, and the page opened up to a black and green chat room. He clicked on his friend’s name “Sara” and sent a message, “I need a favor?”
Sara responded, “Oh my fur! Can you please stop being so cryptic? We haven’t seen you for over a month! Everyone’s missed you like crazy!”
Tony replied, “It’s urgent.”
Sara asked, “What’s going on?”
Tony messaged back, “I need your address.”
Sara asked, “Why? Are you planning to woo me?”Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Tony explained briefly, “I have a DNA sample, and I need help identifying it”
Sara teased, “You only come to me when you need something.”
Tony replied, “You’ll benefit greatly from the results.”
Sara’s interest was instantly piqued, “As your buddy, I’m happy to help.”
Tony heaved a sigh of relief, replying, “Looking forward to hearing back from you soon.”
Sara responded, “Sure thing.”
Tony turned off his computer after that. Ben, who was sitting around doing nothing, laughed. “Why are you acting so extra? It’s not like you can’t chat with them for a while. You’ve been off the grid for over a month.”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry,” Tony warned.
“Mommy’s not back yet. I’m not worried,” Ben said matter-of-factly.
Tony stared at him sternly and cautioned, “Follow my advice. Don’t log in too often. If Mommy finds out, I won’t bother to help you.”
Ben arched his eyebrows and bowed his head.
Although Tony and Ben were twins, they had polar opposite temperaments. While Tony was vigilant, Ben was bold, much like how Nelly and Alpha Kilian differed in character.
Ben tilted his head to look at Tony and asked, “Have you thought about the result? Which way are you hoping it will go?”
Tony calmly replied, “I haven’t thought about it.”
“Come on! Don’t you care? He could be our father!” Ben exclaimed in surprise.
Tony gave him a sideways glance and asked, “What about you?”
Ben pondered for a moment before saying, “I hope the result is positive.”
“Why?” Tony asked curiously.
“I’m tired of searching for our alpha. Regardless of who he is, I have a feeling that Nelly left the pack with us because something was amiss. If Alpha Kilian is our father, at least he’s handsome,” Ben explained analytically.
Tony remained silent.
“More importantly, Donna seems to fancy him,” Ben added, noting one of his observations.
“To me, Nelly’s feelings are the most important,” Tony muttered, squinting his eyes.
Despite rarely expressing his own feelings and beliefs, he always prioritized Nelly’s emotions over his own and his siblings’. Hence, Ben refrained from commenting further.
