Semua Bab Stolen Luna By The Rival Alpha: Bab 241 - Bab 250

HugoI yanked the car door open with such force that I thought I might have bent it. As I stepped out, I nearly collided with Darius Henson. He didn't miss a beat, continuing to stride purposefully toward the camp."He didn’t want me to call Anastasia," Darius said, barely pausing. He picked up the pace, surprising me. It was strange seeing him so concerned for his estranged brother. I’d thought Frederick was practically invincible, but here we were. It wasn’t like he was dealing with a raging inferno or that he had to be responsible for everyone."You should have called anyway! As soon as you picked him up, you should have let us know!" I grumbled, trying to keep my tone from sounding too harsh. "It’s been days!""Yeah, I get it," Darius said. "But we weren’t sure if he was going to pull through. Jordan's been taking care of him. He’s in pretty good shape—like a werewolf." As we approached the campsite, Frederick’s scent grew stronger, soothing my frayed nerves. "We didn’t want you t

“You know it was me,” I said with a grin, thinking back to those carefree times when we lived simply and without worries.“I reckon I’ve got you outdone this year,” Hugo said, shifting on the couch and moving closer to me across the empty space. Estelle nestled into the warmth of his neck as the fire crackled behind him, casting a warm glow on the tinsel-laden tree. “Hey, I heard the news that you’ve made me an uncle, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! But guess what? I’ve got something even more exciting planned!”“I already said no Christmas gifts this year,” I replied, feeling completely exhausted. My spirit was drained, lacking any kind of festive joy.“Oh, it’s Christmas Eve,” Hugo said with a grin. “Feel free to open one gift.” He stood up from the couch, gently placing Estelle back into her little white lace bassinet. He then crouched under the Christmas tree and retrieved the tiniest box, wrapped in plaid paper with a bow that seemed oversized for its size.He handed me the box,

“Oh, wait a sec,” I said, reaching into my back pocket and pulling out a small velvet bag with drawstrings. “I thought you might like these.” He looked at me, puzzled, before taking the bag and reaching inside.“Hey,” he grinned as he pulled out a beaded chain with two metal pendants. After his accident, I’d kept his old ones safe, but I thought he’d appreciate some new ones to match his new rank and pack. He draped them around his neck, examining the engravings and pictures. “These are awesome, I really dig them,” he said, running his thumb over the metal image of me and Estelle.“I’ll make sure to keep you and Estelle in mind and look forward to coming back home.” Frederick planted a sweet kiss on my forehead, then gently brushed his lips against mine while tilting my chin up. I tried to suppress my emotions by closing my eyes, but the intensity of the moment overwhelmed me. “Hey, guess what? Seraphina is coming to stay with you! We thought it’d be safer, and I thought you could us

"I didn’t want to tell Hugo. I didn’t want to add to his worries." Despite her cheerful news, there was an undercurrent of unease. She looked troubled, and I chose not to press further with the others around. Maybe it was Hugo’s absence or something else entirely."Wow, Seraphina, that’s fantastic!" I said, genuinely happy for her. "Everyone else chimed in with their congratulations, and the conversation soon shifted back to the meal."I had a quick chat with our doctor before we left," Seraphina whispered, her voice barely audible. "He said Diego can handle things while I stay here." She looked around nervously, making sure no one overheard. "The baby looks a lot like me, and I'm worried Hugo might not be too thrilled about it.""Don’t worry, he won’t let you down," I said, squeezing her hand. Her skin felt colder than usual, which made me wonder what was bothering her. She pulled her hand away quickly. "Yeah, Diego is great," I added, trying to reassure her. Seraphina nodded and ret

“I’m a bit confused,” I murmured, feeling a shiver of intimidation from his tone. His anger was so intense that it left me scrambling for words. I could tell he expected answers from me, but I was at a loss.“Don’t you get it?” Frederick snapped. “Do you think I’m an idiot?” He sounded incredulous. “Eros was like, ‘Duh, it’s a no-brainer!’ What’s up with Eros? I tried to piece it together, but Frederick and Eros hadn’t even been able to talk since Eros’s phone was stolen. “He’s been texting me about you and Darius getting closer.” I felt a pang of guilt for inadvertently revealing that Eros still had feelings for me.“Hey, Frederick, I’m really confused by what you’re saying!” I said, my frustration rising as his anger seemed to engulf me. I stumbled over my words, shocked at the intensity of his reaction. “Hey there, G-Frederick!”“Could you please stop calling me that?” Frederick’s voice was seething with rage. “These pictures of you and Darius in our bed, both of you naked...
