All Chapters of Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna: Chapter 81 - Chapter 87

AELIANAWhen Luna Estelle came over earlier, I was so ashamed, having little to no recollection of the conversation in which I must have embarrassed myself. But thankfully, Luna Estelle didn’t mention anything, she simply invited Noah and me to join her at the children’s foundation.This place is not like I expected, I actually feel better after coming here, tired but still, being around the children has done what it usually takes about six glasses of wine to do. When I leave the kids with two regular volunteers, I find Noah again. She’s sprawled on the blanket, staring up at the sky while the girls play on her phone, taking turns posing and capturing each other. “My Ellie,” she says, sitting up, lowering her sunglasses.“You seem to be having fun,” I smile. The girls quiet down when they hear my voice. They haven't said more than a hello to me, they probably heard everything the adults have to say about me, but they don’t appear to dislike me either, they seem to just not know what t

“My Ellie?” Noah calls, stealing me away from my thoughts.I look up, the glass in my hand nearly slipping but I set it down carefully. “Hmm?”“Are you okay?” She asks, the concern in her voice alarming and deep.I nod, “Yes?” I say, but it comes off as more of a question. I’m unsure if she was talking while she was spaced out.“You seem off lately,” she says. “I know you’re putting forth an effort to smile more but my baby, I can see through you, I know you and right now? I know you’re not you.”“I’m fine,” I say, forcing yet another smile.“Are you sure? You’re not acting like yourself, you often have an excuse not to party with me, but you’re available at any time now, and you ordered bourbon.” She winces.I shrug, “Well, that’s what happens when you’re married, domesticated into a bored housewife, and evil Luna.”“My Aeliana,” she quietly says, her gaze sympathetic.I hate that, I’ve never liked the moments in which people look at me with pity, but I swallow it down, I know she me

The drive to Noah’s apartment is nothing short of chaotic. They turn my car into a club, singing and dancing in their seats. Aeliana gets quiet when we finally drop Noah off at her doorstep, and she doesn’t say much to me the rest of the drive.When we arrive at the packhouse, I open the door for her, but she doesn’t step out. Her eyes lift to mine, “King, how did you find me?” She asks.“Damien called me.”She huffs, “I see he is back to being such a snitch. Very little brother of him, he shouldn't have.” She sulks, “I was going to stay all night.”“You’d have slept inside the club?” I frown.“Nope,” She says, violently shaking her head. “I wouldn’t have gone to sleep, I would have been wide awake.”“I see,” I nod, offering her my hand. She takes it, grunting as she exists. “Walk with me,” I tell her, slamming my car door.“I miss my Noah,” she sighs. “She is so sweet, so genuine. I don’t deserve her, nobody loves me like Noah.” She says. “And I’m lying to her, and it makes me feel
