Semua Bab The Luna Games: Bab 21 - Bab 30

{Mark}"What was that all about back there?" Sharon questioned once we arrived at the empty foyer. "Nothing," I deflected."It didn't look like nothing to me."I was itching to tell Sharon to mind her business, but knew that wouldn't end well for me."It was a disagreement.""Disagreement or not, you need to know your place. You don't have to like Alpha Harvey, but as a former council member and Alpha of an allied pack, you must respect him. Do you understand?"I bit the inside of my cheek in annoyance."I understand," I gritted out."Good. Also, Alpha Beaumont tasked us with the mission to retrieve Alexus; you will follow my orders. I don't need you to be a loose cannon out there and end up getting hurt.""What's the big deal? It's just a bunch of she-wolves," I grumbled, earning a sinister smirk from Sharon."Just a bunch of she-wolves, right? You do know that she-wolves are just as strong and deadly as their male counterparts, right?"I refused to answer."Let me clue you in...they

[Alpha Noah Harvey]I stood by the clinic door, trying to gather the courage to see Amari. She was peacefully resting, and I didn't want to cause any more harm or stress to her or the baby."I can feel you creeping on me. You might as well come inside," she mumbled."I was wondering how long you planned on playing dead.""I was hoping you would get the hint and keep moving," she replied, fluttering her eyes open. I stood by her bedside in silence, trying to build up the courage to apologize."I'm sorry...I should've listened to you when it came to the Luna Games.""That's right...you should've.""And because of me, she's out there."Amari's face crumpled at the thought of her only daughter being scared and alone in the woods. The worst part was not knowing. For all she knew, her precious daughter could be dead."Why didn't you say anything when Alexus threatened to participate in the games?""Honestly? I thought she was bluffing — that is, until I saw her.""Are the two of you really

[Alexus]I woke with a painful crick in my neck and groaned. I checked my watch and realized I had slept for close to three hours, and I was in desperate need of relieving myself. I slowly started my descent. I needed to not only ensure my safety but also make sure I didn't attract any unwanted attention. I placed one of my feet down on a branch that appeared sturdy enough. The snap made my eyes widen in fear. Before I could shift my weight, I found myself screaming and tumbling down the tree, hitting every fucking branch possible on the way down. I landed on the ground with a loud thud.Elektra: Real smooth, Alexus. Hurry and get your ass up. I hear people coming!There was no doubt I had injured myself as I slowly pulled myself up to my feet. I hissed once I placed weight on my right foot and started to hobble away in the direction Elektra suggested.Elektra: Hurry and hide. They're gaining on you! Wait! Inject yourself! The serum has worn off!Oh, shit, I thought as I unzipped my

{Alexus}I carefully made my way toward the lake, but it would take at least an hour with the slow and steady pace I took. I couldn't afford to rush. Rushing meant less attention to detail, making it easy to miss a lurking predator hiding above in the trees. I didn't want to end up like one of the she-wolves and fall victim to a deadly booby trap. I watched the unfortunate girl's murder from my hiding spot in the trees. She was running through the woods, full-steam ahead. Someone was chasing her, and she kept looking over her shoulder as she ran. That was never a good idea, and unfortunately, she had to learn the hard way. One moment she was huffing and puffing, running for her life, and the next moment her head was rolling across the forested floor. A smart, yet vicious she-wolf had set up a thin wire that stretched across two large evergreen trees.The victorious she-wolf celebrated her victory, but it was short-lived. My eyes widened when the sound of an arrow whizzed through the a

[Alexus]Alexus: How much further until we reach the perimeter?Elektra: Not much longer. We're almost there. When we get there, we can alert pack security of what's going on.My mind wandered to my mate as we continued our trek. A part of me wondered if he would reject me because of our age difference and because he had been a father figure to me since my birth. On top of that, my parents would not be thrilled about our mating, especially my father. A headache began to form, just imagining how much yelling I would hear from him. It was a complete toss-up on how my mother would react.I'd be embarrassed and crushed if Alpha Harvey rejected me. Not only that, but I would have Mark breathing down my neck, trying to convince me to give him a chance.Elektra: Uh oh.Alexus: Uh oh, whatElektra: I can smell those disgusting rogues again. They circled back. They are going to intercept us before we make it to the perimeter.Alexus: Are we going to turn around? We can't fight them both.Elekt
