Semua Bab The Alpha's Stolen Luna: Bab 31 - Bab 40

We hit a wall pretty quickly on the search for information on Sutton’s mother. Sutton only knew her married name and we didn’t have access to the records humans kept on those matters. I would need to send someone to Dranfort to do some more digging before we could trace her life among the packs. In the meantime, I had concentrated on getting to know Sutton.It had been almost two weeks since she had first woken up in my bed. It had been two weeks of ups and downs. We would get close, then something would pull Sutton away again. We had more than a few intense moments but she would end up keeping me at arms-length after. But we were making progress. Her smile came easier these days and I could even make her laugh.Sutton was currently out with Tarrah getting more supplies for her yard project. I was taking the time to catch up on some pack business that I had been neglecting. I had just finished approving the budget for a round of road repairs when I heard Sutton’s and Tarrah’s voices c

Tarrah had helped me feel better but I wasn’t ready to face Lucas just yet. I needed time to work through the day. I owed it to myself to figure out how to follow her advice. I wasn’t sure how I would manage it, but I wanted to. The best place to start would be convincing myself I could do it.I stayed in the bedroom the rest of the evening thinking things through. I decided to take a long hot shower to help organize my thoughts. I kept going back to the good moments Lucas and I had shared over my time here. The shared touches. The intimate exchanges. Some of them were more than just good. They were incredible. Looking back, the only thing shadowing them was my own insecurities. If I could keep those at bay, I may actually be able to create some memories I would want to hold onto. Whatever that would take, it seemed I would have a few days to think about it.I had thrown on a nightgown and was brushing my hair when Lucas came into the room. He didn’t bother to knock, which wasn’t like

I nearly canceled the trip altogether after my night with Sutton. Just so she’d give up this ridiculous mission to come with. The idea of her being so close to the border with Alpha Anders’ men pushing into our lands made me sick. Rhonen protested the entire morning, abandoning me to the deep recesses of my subconscious the moment we left the city. He agreed that even Wildmore put her too close to danger.But we had made a deal, and she had a point about needing to see the doctor. I’d bet she would be getting the cast off and Dr. Callahan should have the test results I’d asked for back. And I had a feeling I wouldn’t like what she found since she’d been dodging my calls all week.It wasn’t yet mid-morning when I turned into the drive of the farm. I looked at Sutton in the seat next to me as I parked the truck. She was fast asleep. She had passed out about an hour into the three-hour drive from Thorncrest to Wildmore. She’d gotten up before me in order to pack. I think it started to hi

We were just setting the table when Lucas and the others came in. I met Gamma Max, who shook my hand politely. Lucas had said he was eager to meet me, but he didn’t say much throughout the meal. Grant it; I didn’t say much, either. Lucas did a good job fielding a lot of the questions directed toward me. I didn’t think I was ready to start sharing my life’s story with a room full of people.We had finished eating and I was clearing the table when Lucas took my hand and led me to the spare bedroom.“I have to leave now,” he said. “It’ll be several hours. Are you going to be okay here?”I nodded. “I will be fine,” I assured him. “I don’t think your aunt or uncle are going to let me out of their sight.”“Good,” he said. “They’re not supposed to.” He pulled a phone out of his pocket and handed it to me. “This is yours. I’m already programmed into it. Along with a few others. You call me if you need anything. And keep it close. I’ll be checking in with you.”“You don’t trust your aunt and u

I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. Rhonen was snarling with rage. If it wasn’t for what I owed her, I would have Daisy by the throat. My duty as her Alpha was the only thing protecting her right now.“Lucas, ther…”“Get out,” I bellowed, advancing on her. Putting myself between her and Sutton.“What?” She somehow managed to look hurt, which only pissed me off more. “You don’t mean…”“Daisy, get out,” I commanded, putting the full weight of my energy behind it.She couldn’t argue. She couldn’t do anything but obey. I didn’t even wait to make sure she was gone before my attention went entirely to Sutton. She was completely pale and shaking, refusing to look at me. I put my hands on her shoulders. She jumped, gasping as she desperately backed away, bumping into the counter when there was nowhere else to go.“Sutton, it’s not…”“Don’t,” she shouted. “Just don’t. I can’t… I won’t…”“It’s not true,” I insisted, desperately trying to calm her down so she could listen.“Which part?” sh
