Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Alpha's Stolen Luna: Kabanata 141 - Kabanata 150

I did as I had promised and kept Sera at arm’s length over the next few days. But not just her. I was having trouble opening up to anyone around me. I still didn’t believe that Sera had betrayed us — or at least, I still didn’t want to believe it — but the more time I had to dwell on the subject, the more I began to doubt. However, I didn’t let those doubts eat at me. Instead, I let the whole situation fuel my determination.I had been keeping my plan close to the vest before Lucas’ revelation. Mostly because it was likely foolish and never going to work. But also because I didn’t want anyone to talk me out of it. Especially Lucas. He would never be okay with me taking such a risk but I had to. He would just have to understand that I was doing this for both of us.I’d been buried in my studies and defense training on the days leading up to the summit to make sure I was as prepared as possible for the endeavor ahead of me. I was feeling confident as I packed my suitcase the day before

It was a four-hour flight to the national capital of Lycuria. I had been surprised to hear the Alpha’s Summit would be hosted by the Royal Council in Moonhaven. However, it made sense when you considered the short notice of the typically lavish event. The capital would be the only place with the funds and resources readily available to organize everything so quickly.Transportation was waiting on the tarmac as our private plane landed at the airport. I escorted Sutton off the plane and into the town car. I could feel Sutton’s anticipation through our mate bond — a mix of curiosity, excitement, and anxiety all rolled together. I laced my fingers in hers, lifting her hand to my lips.“We’ve got this, princess,” I told her.She gave me a small smile before leaning her head on my shoulder. She’d been like that since the day before — keeping close, being more affectionate than usual, almost like she was trying to touch me as much as possible. I didn’t know what had caused change but I cert

I thought I was going to throw up. Maybe I was wrong. It couldn’t be her. She was home with Dad and Helene. That’s what Lucas told me. This wasn’t really happening.Anders moved further into the room, giving me a better look at the woman walking arm-in-arm with his Beta. No… it… it was her. It was my sister.I started to hyperventilate. Fear and panic suddenly overwhelmed me as I struggled to breathe. My face felt hot. My hands felt cold. I knew my whole body had to be shaking. I barely registered myself moving as I was being swept away, tucked back into a shadowy corner. Hands went to my face but I could barely feel them. I was almost completely numb to outside touch.The tingling sensation was the only thing that broke through my terror.“Baby, look at me,” Lucas’ voice echoed in my ears as he pulled at my face. “Look at me, Sutton.” I locked eyes with him, letting out a painful gasp. “That’s it, princess. Breathe.” I gripped his arms. My nails digging into the fabric of his suit.

I felt the wind rush out of me. I was completely caught off guard by her words. Nova whimpered in my mind. After more than two years, that was the first thing she said to me. I was even more confused than before.“Hannah…” I pressed, taking her hand. “What are you doing here? Why would you come with them?”She yanked her hand away. “Oh, please,” she snapped. “Did you really think I would just let Mason live with his grief? After what you did to him?”“What?” I blurted out. “What are you talking about, Hannah? We need to get you out of here. It’s not safe.”Hannah laughed bitterly. “Of course it’s not,” she replied sardonically. “You would say that. You were always so dramatic. Maybe if you weren’t such a backstabbing slut, you wouldn’t need to be so paranoid.”I dropped her hand, feeling like she had just kicked me in the gut. Nova snarled in my mind, the fur of her neck standing on end as she started to pick up on something that was still completely eluding me.“Hann…”“What did you

“You don’t think that would cause trouble?” Max asked.I raised an eyebrow. “Any more than we’re already in?”“I mean from them,” Max said. “If Mason got to Hannah, how do we know he didn’t turn the others?”“Because I’ve spoken to her stepfather,” Soloman offered. “He still shows an interest in her well-being. I doubt he had anything to do with Hannah’s presence here.”“Even if they did protest, I’m not giving them a choice,” I said. “Like I said, Sutton would never forgive me if I sat by and did nothing when Mason was targeting them for any purpose. Max, call Jaden. Tell him to deploy Operation Long Stone. The rest of you, follow protocol. We proceed as normal for now.”“Yes, Alpha,” they replied in unison.Soloman fidgeted nervously. It was uncharacteristic of his normally composed demeanor. I didn’t like it.“What, Ambassador?” I snapped.He exhaled heavily. “How is she?”My shoulders dropped at hearing the vulnerability in his voice. I had to remind myself that he cared a great d
