With a final squeeze of my hand, Lucas released it as he stood. Max followed behind him as he strode confidently to the front of the room. He took his place at the podium and couldn’t help the pride that welled in my chest as I looked at him. The respect his presence demanded radiated through the room. Like a true Alpha.

“Alpha Lucas,” Councilman Erhardt began, “you stand here before the summit being accused of kidnap, coercion, and unprovoked aggression against a neighboring pack. How do you respond to these allegations?”

“Not guilty, Councilman,” Lucas replied. “This complaint is not only a fabrication but a blatant misrepresentation of the truth.”

“So, you are saying that you have not ordered any attacks on the border of the Dawn Stalker territory?” Erhardt questioned.

“On the contrary, I have had to expend more men and resources along my borders just to keep the Dawn Stalkers out of my own territory,” Lucas stated. “There were no attacks or border conflicts along our boundaries pr

  • The Alpha's Stolen Luna   Chapter 298: Lucas

    “Is it necessary to wake me up at the crack of dawn?” Jaden grumbled as he pulled a hoodie over his head.I slept for about sixteen hours after that first call with Sutton. It wasn’t the outcome I had wanted, but it was a better one than I was expecting by that point. But more importantly, it was something I could live with. Not pleasantly, but adequately. With our conversation putting my mind at ease, the scent of her taking over our bedroom was finally a comfort.Yet it still wasn’t a perfect solution. After catching up on sleep, I could only get a few hours at a time after that. It was enough to function off of, but finding things to occupy myself in the middle of the night was frustrating. I had started to read through Leanetta’s journals when it was too early to do anything else. Otherwise, I found myself training and exercising to distract myself.“You’ll live,” I commented as I led him towards the back exit. “We’re going to set that knew patrol route on the east side of the cit

    I jumped at the sound of voices in the hallway. I rushed to put the box back in its hiding spot, pulling the panel back in place once it was tucked away again. I grabbed the photo album and the stuffed wolf and pulled them close to my body. Heading for the door, I listened for longer than I needed to make sure whoever was out there had gone. When I felt the coast was clear, I left the playroom, locking the door behind me before scurrying back across the hall to my parents’ apartment.It wouldn’t be odd to see me leaving these quarters. I’d been here enough before and everyone knew Osric had given me open access to the place. Plus, I wanted to return the keys. They were safest here.Instead of heading back to my suite, I settled in on the couch there. I didn’t know why I took the album. I didn’t really think about it at the time. Curiosity took over, I guess. I looked at the cover, recognizing my mother’s craftwork. She had put this together. Why keep it hidden?I opened it and was gre

    ‘You and Lucas are not them,’ Nova popped into my head defensively.‘But that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a point,’ I replied.Not that it mattered. That wasn’t what I was supposed to be focused on today. Regardless of our bond or how long we had known each other, I couldn’t be a good partner to anyone until I worked through my issues.‘There is no “anyone,”’ Nova growled.‘You know what I mean,’ I told her, rolling my eyes as I headed back toward my intended destination.The royal wing was quiet. The staff would have finished any cleaning early in the morning and there weren’t many occupants these days. From what I could tell, my grandfather was often the only one in this part of the palace throughout the day. I was grateful that seemed to be the case now.I stopped at my parent’s apartment first. Taking a few moments to kind of sit with their lingering presence. Like I was reaching out to them for comfort and guidance. I had done this a few times during my visits the past few mont

  • The Alpha's Stolen Luna   Chapter 295: Sutton

    I finally slept through the night after I talked to Lucas. It was still a struggle to fall asleep without him, but at least there weren’t any more nightmares. I woke up feeling rested which helped give me a more optimistic outlook for the day.One of the books Soloman had brought me said it was important to identify and understand my triggers. That felt like an easy enough place to start. It wasn’t hard to figure out the biggest triggers for me was anything to do with the Dawn Stalkers and the conspiracy surrounding my royal family.I didn’t think it was hard to figure out why Anders and his pack would be the cause of so much of my anxiety. I’m sure there were some deeper issues that could lead back to them as well, but that was for down the road. Knowing there was a lot to unpack with that one and not much I could do about facing those issues, I decided to start with my family. Particularly, my mother.After a lot of thinking, I admitted that I stopped looking into my mother’s past t

  • The Alpha's Stolen Luna   Chapter 294: Sutton

    My talk with Soloman had been exactly what I needed. It didn’t fix everything but it helped me accept that no single conversation would. That was a start. I hadn’t faced the aftermath of what Mason had put me through. Not really. Whenever something went wrong, it was easy to remember how broken I still was. But as soon as things got better—as soon as Lucas made things better—I would forget about it. It was too easy to pretend I was fine.But I wasn’t. Not really.Don’t get me wrong, being with Lucas had made me stronger. He gave me everything in his power to give me and I needed that. But Soloman was right, I wasn’t able to give Lucas what he deserved. And I couldn’t change that by being with him either. Not yet at least. Our bond was too strong. Too influential. The false sense of security was too tempting to give in to.I took another day to work through some things. Soloman helped me find some resources to help me understand what I was thinking and going through. It all gave me a c

  • The Alpha's Stolen Luna   Chapter 293: Sutton

    I hadn’t left the suite in days. This whole figuring out how I really felt was harder than I expected. I tried to leave a few times the first couple of days, but was quickly met with a panic attack when I did. I had been forcing myself to eat too, but that just got less and less important. All the back and forth in my head, and even with Nova, was overwhelming, making me second-guess myself even more.And I wasn’t going to deny—I missed Lucas. I missed him so much it hurt sometimes. Especially at night, when I tried to sleep and nightmares came flooding back. It had been so long since I had them this regularly. If I ever had. Nova wasn’t shy about reminding me that it was Lucas who helped keep all of those demons at bay. But I was always quick to remind her that that wasn’t necessarily a good thing. That it was just another example of how the bond clouds my judgment.Eventually, I lost the motivation to keep trying. Giving in to the hurt and sadness that I couldn’t keep at bay anymore
