Runaway Luna is Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 97: The Truth
“It’s true,” I admitted. “I had another reason for leaving.”Pierce’s fingers stilled at the small of my back. They weren’t touching any of my wounds now. His fingertips merely rested against my bare skin, warm and motionless.I wasn’t sure whether he had finished applying the salve, but I didn’t ask.“And what was it?” he asked calmly.The quietness of his voice made my heart leap.My breath caught, lodging painfully in my throat. I bit my bottom lip and drew in a slow breath, trying to gather the courage to speak.The seconds stretched until they felt like hours, but Pierce didn’t pressure me. He waited in silence, allowing me to find the words on my own.Talking about my past had never been easy, especially now, when I was injured, exhausted, and sitting half-dressed in front of him. I felt stripped of more than my clothing. Every defense I had carefully built over the years seemed thinner tonight.But there was no reason to hide the truth from him anymore.The daughter my clan had

In the end, I did what Pierce wanted.The only consolation was that I wasn’t facing him, so he couldn’t see the heat spreading across my face as I slipped the robe from my shoulders and exposed my bare back.I clutched the front tightly against my chest while the fabric pooled around my waist, resting just above my hips. After gathering my damp hair, I swept it over one shoulder and let it fall across my chest.The recovery suite was warm, yet the moment the air brushed my bare skin, and I remembered Pierce was sitting behind me, I couldn’t suppress a shiver. I bit my bottom lip and closed my eyes, trying to ignore how exposed I felt.Several seconds passed.He didn’t touch me.The silence grew so heavy that I glanced over my shoulder, wondering why he hadn’t begun applying the salve.Pierce was staring at my back with a grim expression. The amber in his eyes had darkened until it was nearly swallowed by black.“It must have hurt badly.”I turned forward again and focused on our shado

RuelleI could do nothing but stare at Pierce with my mouth slightly open.He placed my feet on his lap and held my heel steady as he applied the ointment, starting with the cut near my ankle. After a few seconds, I pressed my lips together and drew in a sharp breath. My heartbeat was unsteady, skipping whenever the salve stung.Still, I could see that he was trying his best to be gentle. His touch was almost featherlight.When had Pierce become so careful with me?As I watched him, I noticed that he had changed his shirt while I was bathing. The one he had worn earlier had been black and stained with blood, but now he wore a deep burgundy shirt without a jacket or tie. The first two buttons were undone, and his face and arms had been cleaned.It was then that I remembered a question I had wanted to ask him since I moved into the Ashcroft estate.“How did you know I faked my death six years ago?”Pierce glanced at me but continued applying the ointment. He didn’t answer immediately.“

RuelleFor one suspended heartbeat, Pierce only stared at me.The lamp beside the bed illuminated one side of his face while leaving the other in shadow. With the dark ring still surrounding his amber irises, he looked unsettlingly similar to the man who had torn through Lowe’s mansion.“Come here.”My hesitation must have shown because the corner of his mouth lifted. He tapped the space beside him on the bed.“Don’t worry. I won’t bite.” His gaze traveled over me, slow enough to make heat crawl beneath my skin. “Not tonight.”I narrowed my eyes at him. Despite the healing bath, my wounds stung with every step. Still, I crossed the short distance without difficulty and sat beside him. I kept a careful space between us, though the bed dipped beneath his weight and made maintaining that distance more difficult.Pierce reached for a small glass jar on the bedside table.“The healer left this.”He unscrewed the lid, revealing a pale green ointment. Its sharp herbal scent reached me at onc
Runaway Luna is Hiding the Alpha's Heir Chapter 93: Healing
RuelleFortunately, it wasn’t long before we were out of sight of curious eyes.Pierce carried me past the reception area and into a private elevator at the end of the hall. No one joined us. The moment the doors closed, I lifted my face from his shoulder and drew a quiet breath.The elevator opened directly into a private recovery suite reserved for the Ashcroft family. It was larger than I expected, with a sitting area, a bedroom, and a bathroom separated by a tall wooden divider. Warm wall lamps illuminated the room, though shadows still gathered in the corners.A healer was already waiting.She asked Pierce to place me on the couch, then examined the wound on my head, checked my eyes for signs of a concussion, and inspected the worst bruises along my arms and legs. Her mouth tightened at the sight of them, but she asked no questions about what had happened.“The head injury isn’t severe,” she said. “She’ll have headaches and some dizziness, but there is no fracture. The cuts shoul

RuelleSilence settled between us after Pierce’s words.You have always been a survivor.I turned toward the rain-streaked window, uncertain what to say. No one had ever praised me for surviving before. They had praised my knowledge, my obedience, and sometimes my usefulness, but survival had always felt like the shameful thing I did in secret.Pierce made it sound like strength. His phone rang before I could gather an answer. Lawrence’s name appeared on the screen. Pierce accepted the call and switched it to speaker, placing the phone between us.“Report.”“Council investigators and city officers have arrived at Lowe’s estate,” Lawrence said. His voice remained as composed as ever. “Councilor Dylan is overseeing the scene.”Pierce’s expression didn’t change. “And what did you tell him?”“That I came to apprehend Lowe under your authority regarding the embezzlement case. His security resisted and attacked first, requiring the use of force. Lowe attempted to kill you while escaping cu
