All Chapters of The Alpha's Stolen Luna: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Dinner was less tedious than I had expected but still lasted longer than I would have liked. Sutton’s demeanor was forced most of the evening. Luckily, no one seemed to notice. Or they simply attributed it to the day’s events. Either way, we managed to be the first to leave without too many questions or protests.It was late when we finally made it back to the hotel room. Rhonen and I watched Sutton move absently through the suite, completely lost in thought. I don’t think she even realized she ended up right in front of the drawer that now held her mother’s letter as she took her jewelry off.We’d decided to keep the box at Soloman’s penthouse for the duration of our stay. After Anders’ stunt with that room search, it seemed safer. I still didn’t trust that he wouldn’t try to send someone to break in to get it back. The letter, however, wasn’t something one of his henchmen would think anything about. So, I insisted she bring it with her. Whether she read it or not, at least she would

I was checking my appearance in the floor-length mirror as Motty finished getting dressed in the bathroom. Making sure everything was in place before putting on the jewelry Soloman had given me. I pulled the velvet box from the hidden pocket of my suitcase, where I had already stashed my mother’s letter. Opening it, I set it on the dresser next to the mirror. Motty came out of the bathroom as I was putting the earrings on.“You look stunning, Luna,” she said kindly.“Thank you, Motty,” I replied as I took the necklace from the box. “You look beautiful as well.”She gave me a shy smile. “Here. Let me help you with that.”Taking the necklace, she draped it around my neck and fastened the clasp for me. It felt incredibly heavy against my skin. More so because of the expense rather than the actual weight. I’d never worn anything so extravagant. I wasn’t sure I was comfortable with it, but I promised Soloman I would wear them. And they made me think of my mother in a way I could handle rig

Princess Nomi, Prince Raphe’s mate, eyed me up and down curiously. Lucas’ grip on my waist instinctively tightened. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Prince Raphe coming in our direction. Nova was on the edge of my consciousness, pacing anxiously over this new development.“My apologies, Your Highness,” Lucas replied with a tight — yet still polite — smile. “Of course that wasn’t our intention.”“Alpha Lucas,” Prince Raphe called as he approached. “It’s been a long time. I’ve heard you scored a victory during this summit.”“Not at all, Prince Raphe,” Lucas replied. “We simply set the record straight. Righted a wrong that was done to us.”“As humble as always, I see,” the prince replied. “Good to see nothing has changed there.”I couldn’t help but feel that was some kind of underhanded insult toward Lucas. Nova let out a low growl in my mind. The urge to correct his attitude fed my boldness. I would have said something if his eyes hadn’t landed on me. The intensity behind his ga

We rushed to the front of the hotel. There was a chaotic rush of staff around us as everyone hurried to get vehicles available. As we approached the front doors, I saw Soloman rush into the lobby. He caught sight of the hoard of us coming his way and he froze. He obviously didn’t know what was going on.“Mason escaped,” I barked. “Let’s go.”I briefly considered telling him to go be with Sutton. But I wanted him to help field any questions that Prince Raphe may have. Not to mention, I wanted to figure out if he had any idea why the royals showed up in the first place.However, that last concern was put on hold when Prince Raphe jumped into the passenger seat next to me unexpectedly. Soloman and Max got into the back. The tension inside was obvious.“You know the way?” the prince asked.I nodded once and hit the gas. I knew it well enough to get us there quickly. It helped that somehow, traffic seemed to be nonexistent. Every vehicle pulled out of our way before we got close, allowing

I should have gone with them. They had only been gone a little while and I was already feeling like I would lose my mind waiting. My anxiety was getting so overwhelming that even Luna Darcy’s reassurances were starting to just annoy me. I felt bad, but the best thing to do was kind of tune her out as I focused on not pacing the floor.“It looks like our young Luna is going to drop from worry,” Princess Nomi stated, somewhat dryly. “Why don’t I just go and see if I can’t get an update for us.”“That would be appreciated, Princess,” Luna Darcy stated.I felt myself relax a little once Princess Nomi left. At least I didn’t have to tolerate her blatant scrutiny any longer. She didn’t do much to hide her clear distaste for my presence once the men all left.“How much do you want to bet we don’t see that woman again?” Luna Darcy muttered under her breath.“So I’m not the only one who noticed how unhappy she seemed to be here?” I replied.“Don’t you worry about her, sweetie,” Darcy stated. “
