Semua Bab The Alpha's Stolen Luna: Bab 51 - Bab 60

I went into the woods for a while. I needed space. I needed air. I needed control of my damn life. I pushed my hands through my hair, trying to get my brain to stop spinning with questions. I kept going over things in my head but it was useless. Nothing made sense. So, after about twenty minutes, I gave up and stomped back to the house.Lucas was waiting, of course, but I waved him off. Telling him I was ready to leave. There was no point waiting around. I’d lost interest in finishing the project for obvious reasons. So, I went upstairs and grabbed the suitcase from the bed. Dragging it downstairs, I pushed past Lucas and his attempt to take it for me.After putting the case in the backseat of Lucas’ truck, I climbed into the passenger seat. I crossed my arms over my chest with a huff and waited for him to come out. We were supposed to be leaving until later this evening. So, it was probably rude for me to leave him scrambling, but I was finding it hard to care.The drive started off

Lucas straightened and my feet went back to the floor. He kissed my forehead and I saw his grin from the corner of my eye. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder and forced me to face our intruder as I tugged at my clothes to right them.“I should have called ahead,” he said. “Elise, this is Sutton. Sutton, this is Elise. She’s the head housekeeper here at the packhouse.”“Oh, it’s nice to meet you, Elise,” I managed to stumble out.She gave me a smile. It was a little stiff but seemed genuine enough. I’m sure walking in on us was just as shocking for her.“Sutton is my mate,” Lucas informed her to my surprise. “She’s moving in today. Please include her in any changes that may need to be made to your routine.”“Of course, sir,” Elise replied.“And I expect you to continue to maintain the same level of professionalism I’ve come to expect,” he said somewhat cryptically.“Absolutely, Alpha,” she replied firmly. “Is there anything I can help you both with at the moment?”“Not at this moment

Tarrah showed up at our apartment early the next morning after leaving late the night before. Lucas had been called away not long after we arrived to deal with pack business. He had warned me that would likely happen and he would finish as soon as possible. But I guess our time away had gotten him farther behind with things than he had admitted because he was right back to it first thing in the morning. He didn’t seem too excited about it either.Tarrah, on the other hand, seemed very excited to have me to herself for the day. I didn’t want to tell Lucas, but I was rather happy about it as well. It would be easier to move around and get to know the place with Tarrah than with Lucas. There would be less scrutiny.That assumption had turned out to be correct for the most part. I didn’t get the stares I had walking through the packhouse the day before. There was still plenty of curiosity as I was meeting people though. Once Tarrah told them I just moved, everyone quickly followed up with

I don’t know what the hell I walked into but it wasn’t good. The energy rolling off of Sutton was palpable as she left. I caught sight of Seraphina at the other end of the room. Rhonen snarled baring his teeth in rage. I wasn’t going to waste my time with her right now. I rushed after Sutton as I linked Tarrah.‘What the fuck did Sera say to Sutton? Why is she even here?’ I demanded. ‘What were you thinking, Tarrah?’‘I’m so sorry, Lucas. I swear I didn’t invite her,’ Tarrah replied urgently. ‘I don’t know what happened…’I cut her off. Blocking her link. Sutton’s aura turned heads as she moved through the bar. I needed to get her out of here. Catching up, I put my hand on the small of her back to guide her. She pushed my arm away.“Don’t touch me,” she hissed under her breath. “Just take me back to the packhouse.”Her eyes flashed brightly as her wolf shined through. This situation was about to get even worse. I really needed to get her out of here. I led her to the parking lot where

I slept late the next morning. I woke up to a string of apologetic messages from Tarrah. I hated that the evening ended up being kind of a disaster. I was embarrassed by the way I acted. I sent her a reply but didn’t feel like meeting up with her like she asked. I needed some time to myself. Lucas had been called into another early morning meeting, so I had the opportunity.I changed into some sweats and turned on the coffee maker. As I waited for it to brew, I closed my eyes. I cleared my mind, thinking of nothing. I was trying to reach my wolf. This was one of the things Lucas suggested to help me.I was still on edge over the revelation about Lucas’ past relationships. I wasn’t naïve enough to think he hadn’t been with anyone, but after the Daisy situation, that wasn’t the best way to find out about it. Despite Lucas’ reassurances of her character, I still didn’t know if I was ready to let go of my animosity just yet.What I did know was that I wanted to see her face when she found
