บททั้งหมดของ Stand-In Luna: The Alpha's Real Mate: บทที่ 91 - บทที่ 98

"Worrying now won't help. You two come in and rest first. Even at top speed, it'll take at least three days to get there," Grandpa said. Though he, too, worried about his old friend's safety, he was far calmer than Nick and me.He trusted that no matter what happened, Alpha Ken could handle it.After several more days at sea, Nick and I finally returned to Los Angeles.At the port, Grandpa helped us ashore and reminded us, "I'm heading back to New York. Be careful. If anything gets out of hand, call me immediately.""Grandpa, take care," I said reluctantly. But I had more pressing matters to attend to.As Grandpa's cruise ship disappeared, my eyes tinged with tears."Wendy, once things here are settled, I'll go with you to see Grandpa," Nick's clear voice sounded in my ear. I blinked, frowning slightly. "First, we need to check on your grandpa at the old mansion.""No, we can't alert them," Nick said calmly.Alert them?I quickly understood what he meant.Back at the old mansion, I ha

Nick's sudden appearance caused an uproar. Everyone in the conference hall stared in shock at the dazzling man standing at the doorway.Bathed in the conference lights, Nick seemed to glow with golden radiance, exuding a powerful aura as he took slow, deliberate steps toward the podium.He glanced at me in the corner and gave a faint, knowing smile.I returned a hand gesture to signal that everything was going smoothly."Nick... you... you are, okay?" Leo stammered, disbelief written all over his face as he watched Nick approach. His expression shifted wildly.Leo never expected Nick to show up completely unharmed!Nick cast a cold, piercing glance at him, lips curving slightly. "What, you didn't want to see me?""Of course not, Nick. I'm very glad you're back," Leo said, feigning friendliness, patting Nick on the shoulder. "During your disappearance, I sent many people looking for you. Now that I see you're fine, I feel relieved."

Wendy's POVI thought for a moment, then spoke seriously, "Nick, your proposal... it barely passes. But I hadn't expected to bond so soon.""Why?" Nick frowned slightly. "Is it not romantic enough?"I pursed my lips. "It's not about romance. We've only known each other for a little over a month. We don't know each other well enough yet. Besides, who just bonds without even dating first?"In my mind, as long as both of us reciprocate feelings and confirm a relationship, we can have a proper romance. When the time is right, bonding will naturally follow.I had just agreed to start a relationship with him—I wasn't ready to escalate it to bonding immediately."I see." Nick lowered his head, speaking softly into my ear, "Since you don't want to bond this early, I won't force you. But at least we should make it public first."His warm breath brushed against my neck, making my face flush.Before I could respond, Nick grabbed my hand.

Nick's POVAngel gave a faint smile and continued, "Once, he brought a knife in, trying to cut my hair. Mike, you protected me with all your strength, and he slashed your chest—you bled so much. Mike, the scar on your chest is still there, isn't it...?""And that woman... she was kinder. She often brought us food. One time she brought a meat bun, and Mike, you didn't eat it yourself; you gave it all to me. You said, 'Candy, I'm not hungry. You eat first. Once you've eaten, then we'll have the strength to escape...'"My heart raced.I believed it—she had to be Candy.These were things about Candy that I only knew.So, Angel was Candy!She was the Candy I had been searching for all these years!"Candy... it really is you," I whispered."Mike... you finally recognize me?" Angel's face lit up with joy as she threw herself into my arms. "It's amazing! I will finally see you again! Back then, when I fell off the cliff, I thoug
