All Chapters of The Alpha's Stolen Luna: Chapter 151 - Chapter 160

“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

I suppressed a yawn as I listened to another trade and investment report from another pack Beta. I didn’t want to be disrespectful. But I hadn’t slept much the night before and knowing that Lucas and I would be in the spotlight before the end of the day, it was hard to find the topic stimulating. It didn’t help that I was also a nervous wreck. More than once, Lucas had had to rest a hand on my knee to keep it from bouncing or take my hand to keep me from wringing all the color from my fingers.It just felt like they were torturing us. I didn’t understand why they were conducting a full summit if they were just worried about the mess between the Ironpaw and Dawn Stalker Packs. Before we came, I believed it was because they weren’t that concerned about the situation and just wanted to say they did something. At least, that’s what Lucas and Soloman had implied to me. But now that we were here… now that I knew things were more serious than Lucas or I thought, it made even less sense.I as

“Quiet, order,” Councilman Erhardt called, urging the room to quiet down again.I swallowed hard, focusing on keeping a blank expression while under so many gazes. I glanced at Lucas, seeing him give our allies another subtle signal to stay put.“Alpha Anders, such a suggestion would obviously impact how we handle this situation moving forward,” Councilman Erhardt stated. “Do you have any evidence to prove these suspicions?”“Regarding Mrs. Langston’s mental state — admittedly, no,” Anders said. “However, Beta Mason is willing to share what he experienced the night she went missing.”Councilman Erhardt waved for Mason to come up and speak. He took Anders’ spot at the podium in front of the Council. The position allowed him to address the entire room. His eyes landed on me. He feigned a longing look, as if it pained him to see me. I felt bile rise in my throat. Lucas’ hand tightened around mine, this time for his own reassurance as anger spiked through our bond.“Council members, fello

“As you all just heard, Sutton Langston isn’t someone who is strong enough to fight off a group of attackers,” Anders stated, stepped back into Hannah’s place. “She doesn’t have the countenance to withstand manipulation from even those closest to her. She certainly isn’t someone capable of fighting the mark of a mate bond. She is simply being used by a power-hungry Alpha who is after my pack.”The room actually fell silent and I opened my eyes. There were fervent glances and knowing looks being exchanged but for the most part, all eyes were on the Council Speaker.“Alpha Anders, you have relayed your grievance to the Royal Council and your fellow pack leaders,” Councilman Erhardt stated. “You have told us the circumstances behind your concerns and informed us of events that should be considered in our deliberations. Now, I must ask you — what resolution are you seeking to achieve?”“I want the hostilities against the Dawn Stalker Pack to cease,” Anders announced. “I want a new treaty

I didn’t have the heart to tell her that we may not be able to face this together if things went south. If Anders succeeded in casting enough doubt among the Council, it wouldn’t end with just stripping me of my Alpha status. The most likely outcome would see me being hauled off to some dark hole somewhere.I’d been mind linking with Max to coordinate a plan to get Sutton away to safety if the worst should happen. I honestly didn’t know if the Council would do anything to Sutton if they ruled against me but I was sure they wouldn’t protect her from Anders or Mason. I wasn’t about to leave her vulnerable to whatever plans they have in mind. That included not letting her go anywhere on her own, especially to see the sister who was so clearly working with them against her.I expected her to argue more when I insisted on coming with to meet with Hannah. However, while she was initially hesitant, she easily agreed that it was the safer option. We went down to the garden area about half an
