The Alpha’s Dead Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 161 - チャプター 165

EMILY The world kept fading in and out around me. One second I was awake, and the next I was sinking again.Everything felt heavy. My arms, my legs and even my eyelids.It was as though someone had tied weights to every part of my body and expected me to keep moving anyway.The only thing that remained constant was the movement beneath me, the wheelchair.I could feel the slight vibration every time the wheels rolled over the seams in the floor. I could hear the faint squeaking sound coming from somewhere near the back wheel.I forced my eyes open.The ceiling lights above me blurred together before slowly coming into focus.I was still in the hospital.The memory of the nurse's whisper came rushing back immediately and my heart clenched painfully.The thought of my son instantly shoved away some of the fog clouding my mind.I tried lifting my head, and the effort alone made my vision swim.The doctor pushing my wheelchair didn't look at me once, his face remained completely expressi

JULIAN The moment I stepped out of the West, the air felt different.For months I had been trapped there, fighting a war that seemed like it would never end while my entire life crumbled somewhere far away from me. Every day had been another battle. I should have been with my family. I should have been protecting my son.Instead, I had been locked away while my enemies moved freely.The thought alone made my jaw tighten.I climbed into my car and slammed the door harder than necessary before pulling out my phone.

"Carmen," I said quietly. "Take Gabby and leave town.""What?""Today."Her breathing hitched."Julian, what's happening?""I don't have time to explain."Then she whispered."

JULIAN The moment Asher sent me the location of the hospital where Liam had been admitted, I didn't waste a single second. My hands tightened around the steering wheel as I sped through traffic, ignoring every speed limit and every red light that stood between me and my son. My heart had been restless ever since I got out of prison. Every hour that passed without knowing where Liam was felt like torture, and now that I finally had a lead, nothing in this world was going to stop me from getting to him.The drive felt longer than it actually was. My mind kept replaying every mistake I had made over the past few years. Emily's face kept appearing in my head no matter how hard I tried to focus on the road. The guilt sat heavily in my chest because while I had been fighting my own battles, she had been carrying the weight of everything alone. She had lost her son. She had been hunted. She had been betrayed over and over again, and somehow she was still standing. The thought alone made me
