Semua Bab Craving His Rejected Luna: You will regret leaving me, Alpha: Bab 21 - Bab 30

Mira The moment she stepped out, I slammed the door shut and locked it. My chest rose and fell sharply as I tried to steady my breathing. I didn’t even need to ask how she’d found out, it must’ve been obvious to everyone by now. But how dare she storm in here and accuse me like that! Still… my mind raced. Didn’t I tell him not to act until a week from now? I had gone to the kitchen earlier, planning to have that Omega handle things quietly. The idea was to slip something into that bitch's food, make her pay for the humiliation but then I realized how easily it could be traced back to me. So I called it off. But that didn’t mean I’d changed my mind about doing it, just that at this point I can only turn to him, even though I knew he was still helping me in his own interest given that, even though he head one of the largest packs in Washington, it doesn't change the fact that while Lucian worked sweat and blood to build what he has today, he got his on a gold platter. But I clearly

Lucian “I’ll write you some prescriptions, Alpha,” the doctor said, scribbling quickly on a sheet of paper and handing it to me, “She needs to take these every day. It’ll help clear any residue of the peanut protein from her system.” “Thank you, doctor,” I said, turning to leave his office. “Alpha Blackwell,” he called, stopping me mid-step. I turned back to face him. “Yes?” He hesitated for a moment, his pen still in his hand. “I know it’s not really my place to say this, but… the girl, aside from her allergies, she seems frightened. A little too often.” My brows drew together slightly. He continued carefully, “Is there someone… or something affecting her? She’s so young, yet she behaves like someone who’s constantly on edge. Little pups her age aren’t supposed to be this scared.” My fist clenched at my side. Of course I knew she was afraid. As a two year and two months old, my daughter was too timid for a wolf pup and I’d been doing everything I could. If only that

Lucian The next morning I left the hospital and came back home with Kellan. I didn’t get a minute of sleep all night, not that I needed it. My wolf and I could handle going two days or more without rest but Kellan is different. “You can go and get some rest,” I told him as soon as we entered the house. “I’m going to find the Omega who brought the berries last night.” “Then we’ll go together,” he said immediately. I shook my head. “No. You should go and have some rest. Besides, you’ll need your full strength to hold the pack while I’m gone in the evening.” His brows furrowed. “Gone? I thought we were going together.” “I had a change of plans.” I met his gaze firmly. “It’ll be better if you stay here and watch over the pack and Anna. You’re the only one I can trust her with right now.” He looked at me, surprise flashing across his face. “Then that means you’re going all by yourself?” “Not exactly,” I said, glancing toward the stairs. “Lady Maelis is also going.” His expression

Maelis “It's a trap.” I muttered under my breath as I watched the figures in camouflaged dark outfits come out of the nearby forest one after the other. They shot first at Lucian's car tires before slowly closing in. Even though it's been three years, looking at them all I could think of was that night. The sound of gunshots. Fire. Screams. The smell of smoke and blood. The woods burning, even the quiet sound of death, everything was rushing back. I didn’t even notice Lucian moving until his hand suddenly yanked mine, snapping me back to reality. “Can you use a pistol?” he asked, his eyes flashing with urgency. For a moment, I just stared at him, still trying to steady myself. Then I glared, forcing the tremor out of my voice. “What kind of question is that?” Without saying anything, he yanked off his dark suit jacket and tossed it aside. From his waist, he pulled out two pistols, Wait, was he seriously carrying that all along? Before I could even ask, he threw one to me.

Lucian“What are you doing here in New Jersey?” I asked as we walked through the dark woods, heading back toward their pack’s border. “Weren’t you supposed to be in North America?”She’d moved there years ago, last I heard.So seeing her here, with a group of armed wolves like some sort of rescue squad, didn’t make sense.But I'm grateful regardless. At least the attackers hadn’t followed us, they’d backed off the moment they saw the people who came to our aid. Probably recognized them. Or weigh the odds. But she didn’t answer me right away.Instead, her eyes shifted past me, landing on Maelis whose red eyes were still glowing faintly in the dark. Then she gave a small, humorless laugh. “I see you still haven’t run out of women after all these years.”I sighed, dragging a hand down my face. “It’s not what you’re thinking. This lady here is---”“Where’s your Luna, by the way?” she cut me off sharply, “Let me guess, back at the packhouse, completely unaware that her dear Alpha is out
