The Alpha's Stolen Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 201 - チャプター 210

“Is this really necessary?” I asked as the seamstress pulled out another swatch of fabric. “This just seems like a lot to get done in such a short period of time.”“Nonsense,” Narya said. “You are the centerpiece of the Luna ceremony. So it is required for you to look your absolute best.”“Not that that is hard to do for Sutton,” Tarrah chimed in. “She’s always gorgeous.”I felt my cheeks blush at the compliment. I still wasn’t used to being fawned over like this. But I was glad for the help. Mostly because it seemed like the girls were more than happy to take on most of the tasks. I found that I wasn’t picky about most aspects of the event. The only thing I was insistent on being involved in was the floral arrangements. I gave some input to that would give them a good idea of my tastes and, for the most part, they girls shared the same aesthetic preferences as I did. So, that would make the process so much easier.The only thing that may end up stressing me out was the dress. Tarrah

“Yeah, Jaden, you should stay,” I insisted, hiding a smug grin on my face.Jaden stared daggers at me as he struggled to hide a reaction. But even I could hear his heartbeat quicken.“I wouldn’t want to intrude,” Jaden said through gritted teeth.“Geez, bro,” Tarrah said. “You’re being even more uptight than usual. It’s just dinner.”“Yeah, man, it’s just dinner,” I said.“It’s really not a problem, Jaden,” Sutton insisted as she reorganized the contents of the box. “I had the cafeteria cook for us. I’m sure they’ll send up plenty of food. And Elise should be bringing it up anytime now.”“I’ve got…”“Oh, come on, Jaden,” Tarrah said, getting to her feet. “Take a night off. You’re staying. Now, come help me set the table.”Jaden shot me a look before pushing off the wall to go help his sister. I shook my head, somehow managing not to laugh at his discomfort.‘Is everything okay?’ Sutton linked me. ‘Did I do something/’‘Not at all,’ I replied, kissing her temple. ‘He’s just in a mood.

I was up early the next day, ready to get on the road as soon as Lucas was ready. I packed light, so had Lucas. We didn’t expect this to be a long trip. Just long enough to figure out where, what, or who this clue was leading us to. Hopefully, the drive would be the longest part.I dropped my duffle bag next Lucas’ in the foyer and grabbed my phone to message Helene to see if she was almost ready. Just as the message sent, the elevator dinged. The doors opened to Helene with Lucas next to her holding her bag.“Where’s Dad?” I asked, my brow furrowing.“He said he couldn’t make it,” Helene said curiously. “He said he’s got some business to take care of. I know he’s still trying to wrap some things up back home.”“Oh, okay,” I replied, a little disappointed. “Well, are you ready then? You have your medication?”Helene lifted a small cooler. “Good to go.”Lucas and I grabbed the rest of our bags and headed out. Helene and I were chatting as we made it to the carport. Helene suddenly fell

Our run lasted a lot longer than we had anticipated. It was almost midnight when we finally made it back to the cabin. But it was entirely needed. Nova and Rhonen had the time of their lives. We probably circled the entire lake just following new scents and game trails. We didn’t come across the waterfall near the rock formation, but that was fine. Our goal was to just let our animals have a good time.They even got to hunt. Taking down a rabbit and a beaver. Letting Nova devour her kill was a new experience for me. I thought I would have been disgusted. But my instincts were so in tune with Nova’s now that the whole encounter just felt natural. And surprisingly delicious. Although, I would still stick to preparing my food in human form.When we got back to the cabin, Jaden had started a fire in the fire pit behind the cabin, overlooking the water. We sat out there for a few hours before going to bed. I slept like an absolute rock.Waking up well-rested and refreshed, I quickly got re

Using Willy’s directions, I drove us out toward the cabin. It was in a more remote location compared to the rest, although we could still see the lake through the trees as we approached. The road was rougher getting up to it. It was an ideal location for a lycan to find privacy from neighboring humans, or lycans, should the case be.I angled the truck between the cabin and the tree line. It was a tighter fit than our cabin. The trees and brush had crept up on the old building over the years. It was clearly more dated than their other cabins. Still, it showed signs of regular repair and maintenance. I hoped that didn’t mean whatever Leanetta sent us here for was long gone.I could tell Sutton had the same concerns but I didn’t want to voice them. She needed to see this through. If we came to a dead end, then we came to a dead end. Although, I was prepared to put my own resources into tracking down this Korinna woman if necessary. If only to find out what kind of information she had agai
