The Alpha's Stolen Luna의 모든 챕터: 챕터 261 - 챕터 270

I sat in shock. The blood had drained from my face. My heart breaking as I watched my father leave the room. Then my sister. Lucas moved to follow her.“I swear I didn’t know he did that,” I rushed.Lucas stopped and turned to me. “I believe you,” he said.At least I didn’t have to worry about that. Lucas continued out after Sutton. I felt Jaden’s hand rest on my shoulder but I brushed it off. Jumping out of my chair to find my sister. Or my father. No, Sutton. I should talk to Sutton first.I got to the end of the first hallway before I lost sight of any of them. Where would she go right now? Home? I tried to reach inside to sense her, like Jaden and Tarrah had been teaching me. But I was too flustered.“She’s outside,” Jaden said as she grabbed my arm and started hauling me towards the stairs.“This is bad, Jaden,” I said.“Are you okay?” he asked.“Ask me later,” I replied, not really wanting to think about how I felt right then.Jaden seemed to know exactly where we were going, s

It had been four months since the Luna ceremony. Sutton was flourishing. She’d had an anxious start in her official role, but after a few weeks, her confidence had returned. She had fallen in love with our local museum and had been working with them regularly since they worked with her on the exhibit. She set up group gatherings in the gardens several days a week. Hosting activities from book clubs to yoga classes to horticultural lessons. She spent much of her free time learning more about the history of our pack. She even suggested picking up an old tradition of an annual Moon Tour in which the Alpha and Luna travel throughout the territory.All in all, we had been living a calm day-to-day life. Her grandfather did visit us again for about a week while Sutton and I managed to fly out to the capital for a couple of long weekends. Even Prince Raphe and Princess Nomi were making regular appearances. Helene was also getting closer to their mother’s family during those times as well. The

I sat in my car at the front of the campus. I’d talked Helene into letting me pick her up for dinner a few days earlier, and I was about to come out of my skin waiting for her. I hadn’t seen her much in the last few weeks. Not since I opened my big mouth and got her pissed at me. Again.It had felt like an eternity since the night of the ceremony. The night that turned into one of the best nights of my life. And one of the biggest mistakes. I shouldn’t have been the one to bring Helene into the pack. It was too intense. I got reckless.It didn’t help that Helene had picked up on my inner conflict. She assured me it wasn’t a big deal and that we didn’t have to let it affect our friendship. That cut like a knife. Especially since I didn’t know if she was saying it to make me feel better or because she actually meant it. I couldn’t exactly explain how I was feeling to get clarification either. Not after that. So, I tried to move on and let it go.It would work for a while. We’d have week

It was well into the night when I knocked on Sera’s door. Keeping to the shadows in case any of her neighbors got nosy. I heard her approach the other side of the door, waiting for her to unlock it.“Lucas,” she greeted me as she opened it, standing in the doorway in her robe. “You’re late.”I stepped inside, shutting and relocking the door behind me.“I had to make sure Sutton wouldn’t wake up,” I told her. “I don’t want her to know that I left.”Sera shook her head unhappily. “Don’t you think it’s time to tell her?” she said, going to a sideboard and pouring me a whiskey. “She’s going to catch on at some point.”“You know I can’t do that,” I said warningly. “And she won’t find out from you.”Seraphina raised her hands in the air. “Hey, you’ve thoroughly commanded me to silence,” she said. “I couldn’t tell her if I wanted to.”“Which you do,” I pointed out, taking the glass she offered. “You’ve made that clear.”“No, I want you to tell her,” she argued, taking a sip of her own drink.

Sutton’s day of appreciation turned into the whole weekend. After nearly being foolish enough to turn her down, I had no choice but to double down on her offer. It was amazing. And I would imagine I’d need these memories to keep me sane in the near future.Still, as much as I wanted to dedicate all of my attention to Sutton, the thumb drive sitting in my desk drawer kept coming to mind in the calmer moments. Followed by the look of horrified shock on Sutton’s face when she thought I hadn’t wanted her. I desperately wanted to tell her that it wasn’t like that. Since I couldn’t, I made sure to do everything I could to show her that she was still everything to me.“I should probably turn my phone back on,” Sutton said lazily as we laid in bed. My fingers trailing through her hair as she lay on my chest. “The real world awaits us.”“Hmmm,” I hummed in reply. “If only we could just run away and leave all behind.”I reluctantly let her get up but took the opportunity to admire the view as s
