บททั้งหมดของ The Luna's Mate: The Alpha King: บทที่ 41 - บทที่ 50

Now that we are in the clear and close to Eric’s, I tell Arabella where we are going.  It has been several hours and in between the time we had a close call and now, she fell asleep for a while.  However, right at this moment, she is staring at me and asking, “When will we get there?” In that tone a small child gets when she wants to annoy her parents.Shrugging, I refuse to bite and just look ahead for about ten minutes, before I answer as I turn off the main road to his house, “We will be there in about five minutes.” With a stern tone to my voice and then I turn my head briefly to smile at her.I certainly don’t want her to think I am mad at her, but I don’t want to fight either and right at this moment, I think we have been alone in this car far too long together.  Turning to stare at me while I drive, I feel her eyes on me and the glance over at her quickly.  “What’s up?” I ask because

“I wonder why they won’t leave?” Arabella whispers to me after walking over to where we are sitting and placing her hand gently on my shoulder. When I glance up at her, she is wearing a fake smile on her face.  I begin to wonder if this is getting to be too much for her, but then I open my mouth to mention quietly, “Probably, because they know we are here someplace.  They just can’t smell us, so it is driving them insane.  I think that is why they are tearing the place apart, in hopes of us coming out.”“Well, obviously there is no way that they would surprise us.  Making so much noise, we would have to be stupid to walk out now.”  Eric furrows his brow before looking back down at a paper in his hands. He reads it silently and then he turns to me before saying, “Apparently, when my dad had this place built 8 years ago, he had a back door installed.  Now we just have t

“When did he take over exactly?” I ask in an agitated tone, because now I realize that I must take back my throne besides worrying about Arabella.“Yesterday afternoon.  There had been whispers of your death running around the castle, and I suppose he must have been fueling them.  Just afterwards, he declared that he was the rightful ruler now.  No one stood in his way, so now he is wearing the crown and sitting in your spot.” She pauses while staring at me and the blood covering my hands before saying, “You look like you ran into some trouble.  Did someone try to take you out like they said?”Clearing my throat, I state, “Yes, I did.  Apparently Alpha John has decided to take me out, but it didn’t work so well.”  I hesitate before asking, “Have you seen Arabella by chance?”“Yes.  She had stopped by just a bit ago with someone else, but then they left.&nbs

“Eric, what would you do if you were in my position?” I glance over at him while waiting for an answer, but when he doesn’t say anything right away, I approach him to get his attention.“Eric, are you alright?” I say a little louder this time.Glancing up at me, he hesitates and then answers finally.  “Yeah, I was just thinking.  If I were you, I would make sure that everyone knows you mean business by cleaning the house of all the pests?  Do you still have confidants in the castle?”I nod, and then he continues, “Well, then I would have them figure out who was involved and tell you.  It is so much easier for them to hear conversations than it is for you.  People always pay special attention when authoritative figures are around, but not so much when a lone person is lurking in the shadows.  I think this is what your dad would have done if nothing else.  Then, and onl

Hearing the door unlock and then watching as she walks out of the bathroom with tear-stained eyes and a firm frown on her face, I know that I will never be able to change what I did.  The only problem is that I have no clue, why I did it in the first place.  Does it really matter anyways?  Now, the most important question is if she will ever forgive me.Honestly, if I had seen Arabella get excited over another man and let him touch her the way Omega Kelly touched me, I seriously don’t think that I would ever be able to forgive her.  Matter of fact, I probably would kill the man and then make sure she never did it again, because I can see both sides of this.  So, with heavy heart, I follow her to the bed and quietly put my hand on her side after climbing in next to her. At the moment, she is lying on her side with her eyes closed, so I scoot closer to her and snuggle.  She is probably wishing that I leave her alone, but I can&rs
