The Alpha's Stolen Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 241 - チャプター 250

I chewed my lip as I set the table for dinner the next day. After speaking to Soloman, I was able to make a decision last night. Still, I wanted to take some time to make sure it would stick. So, I spent the day working through any doubts I may have had with my choice. Nova speaking supportive affirmations the whole time.Dad and Helene would be joining us so I could get it all over with at once. I think what was going to be the hardest part was knowing that someone was going to be upset. I couldn’t make everyone happy and I would learn to live with that. I’d have to get used to it as Luna. That was one of the first things Lucas taught me when he started to prepare me for my new role.The oven beeped in the kitchen as I finished nervously straightening the silverware for the fourth time. Just as I pulled the main course out, the elevator doors opened. Lucas came in, pulling at his tie already. My heart sank. It must have been a long day for him. I wasn’t sure the coming interaction wo

We got Princess Nomi settled in her suite as quickly, yet politely, as we could. Once she was preoccupied and Jaden was left to deal with her guards, Soloman followed Lucas and me to his office. The moment the door was shut, Lucas turned on Soloman.“What the hell is she doing here?” he demanded. “You didn’t think to warn us that she was even considering showing up early?”‘I can assure you, Alpha, that I am just as surprised as you are,” Soloman insisted. “I can’t imagine what she could be up to or what would have prompted this… intrusion. I think we can all agree this has nothing to do with the Luna ceremony.”Lucas scoffed. “She’s here to spy but on what?” he speculated. “And why send her?”“Why not send her?” I commented. “We’re obligated to cater to her. She can follow me around wherever she wants. She can demand access to any location from anyone. And she can be here without raising suspicion. In fact, her showing support is beneficial to the pack. To snub her claims would be d

“Can you do me a favor?” Sutton panted as I held her in my lap, holding the shower head over her to keep her warm.“Hmm…”“Promise to do that a few more times in the next few days,” she requested.I laughed. “I’m going to have to insist upon it,” I told her.This was exactly what I needed. What we both needed. And we would need it again before we left for the manor house after the ceremony. It was the only thing that was going to take the edge off.Once we were able to pick ourselves up again, we washed each other up before getting out of the shower. We probably took longer than we should have to get ready but I wasn’t going to let anyone hold that against us. I had blocked out all mind links, as I always did when I was alone with Sutton. So, as I buttoned up my shirt, I went to check my phone left on the dining table.A message from Max telling me the Whiskey Grand was good to go. They even called their top chef in for the evening. Another from Jaden saying Princess Nomi had already

Two days went by surprisingly fast. I suppose that does happen when you don’t stop moving. And I don’t think I did. Everything had gone pretty smoothly. Princess Nomi even ended up being more of a help than I had expected. But then, she had practice in giving orders. Still, she wasn’t discourteous or anything. In fact, the pack members seemed to be fascinated to have a member of the royal family so involved with the event.As helpful as she had been, she was also a bit much at times. She had been pushing more and more for me and Helene to open up more in an attempt to “get to know us better.” This just wasn’t the time for all that. Even if it was, I still wasn’t sure how close I intended to get to my newfound aunt. It didn’t help her case when she kept bringing up Hannah. Helene finally shut that topic down thoroughly last night, so it would hopefully be the last time our wayward sibling was brought up.Still, I wasn’t sure I was prepared to handle Princess Nomi today. I wanted to foc

She was indescribable. There were no words adequate enough to depict the creature I saw before me. The distance between us was closed in an instant and I was pouring my adoration and utter worship into the kiss I was bestowing on her. And I still felt like I was failing to express how I felt.Her musical laughter broke through my haze of blind devotion and I somehow managed to pull away from her.“I guess that means you approve,” she laughed.A growl escaped, echoing Rhonen’s and my incredulity that she could entertain any other reaction than she just inspired. I could never disapprove of her. I could never be disappointed by the grace and humbleness that she exuded. I could never get tired of getting lost in those beautiful eyes of hers. The icy blue that reflected her strength and resolve and the warm amber that echoed her love and acceptance.“Keep looking me like that and we can forget the ceremony,” Sutton teased, effectively bringing back to the real world a little.The corner o
