All Chapters of Luna Pretending To Be Blind: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Yara’s PovThe words Daniel had spoken earlier kept replaying in my mind, refusing to settle into anything that made sense. Alpha. I always thought he was just a candidate, someone the council was considering. I never once suspected that he had already been elected, already standing at the top of the largest wolf pack in the Northern Territory.“You’re the Alpha,” I said again, slower this time. Daniel’s expression remained controlled, but his eyes shifted slightly, he was calculating what to do with me.I knew how this looked, I was supposed to be blind and at home, but here I was in the Pack headquarters looking for the Alpha.He stepped closer again and my heart started pounding, but I didn't let it show. “I didn't know you were the Alpha, when did that happen?”“I didn’t want you to find out this way,” he replied calmly. “Pack politics aren’t as simple as you think. The council found me to be the best candidate for the position.” “Oh well in that case…I..I…” I started, but Daniel

Yara’s Pov“You really believe a neighbor hid your cat out of revenge,” Daniel said finally.“Yes,” I replied. “She’s petty. And cruel.”“And the cat is like your child,” he added.“Yes,” I said again. “Especially now. I feel so alone in that big house.”He turned away, the tension in the room easing just slightly. “You’re exhausted,” he said. “And I understand grief makes people irrational.”I nodded, letting my shoulders slump further. “I just want her back.”Daniel sighed. “I’ll have someone look into it.”“Thank you,” I whispered.Later that day I was beyond relieved, I managed to convince Daniel that I was still blind, though I was sure he still suspected me, but at least I was out of immediate danger.And about me coming to Shadow blade, he would dismiss it and grief-driven obsession. I only hoped that Judy wouldn’t keep pressuring him to look into my blindness, because if he got serious and called in a doctor to actually test me, my life would be over.DANIEL”S POVI believed Y

Yara’s PovMy cat curled against my chest as if nothing had happened, as if she had not vanished without a trace and pulled half the house into silent panic. Her small body rose and fell steadily, and every soft vibration of her purring threatened to give me away.I forced my shoulders to relax and my fingers to slow.“Easy,” I murmured softly, stroking her back in the same absent, repetitive motion I had practiced since my sight returned. “You must have been so scared.”Daniel stood a few steps away, watching me with a look I could not read. I kept my gaze unfocused, angled slightly past him, as if I were listening more than seeing.“I told you I would find her,” he said. “You

Yara’s Pov“I’ve never met a blind person who was so mean and wicked.”Beth’s voice cut through the room like a blade, sharp and unapologetic. She stepped forward without hesitation, completely ignoring the gun in Daniel’s hand and the tension hanging in the air. Her eyes stayed on me, steady and mocking, as if the weapon meant nothing at all.“But you,” she continued, tilting her head slightly, “you’re the exception.”Daniel stiffened beside me. I could feel the shift in his body even before he spoke, the subtle readiness of a man used to command and violence.“That’s enough,” he said coldly. “You’ve already said more than you should.”Beth snorted. “Relax, Alpha. I didn’t come here to interfere in your family matters."She took another step forward, planting herself firmly in front of us. “I came here because after I dropped your wife off, she didn’t pay me.”The words landed so suddenly that for a second, neither of us reacted.“What?” Daniel and I said at the same time.My heart s

Beth’s PovI got home late.The hallway light was off, but I could smell him before I saw him. The sharp, sour mix of cheap liquor and burned chemicals clung to the air, heavy enough to make my head ache. I closed the door quietly behind me, slipping my shoes off the way I always did, hoping for once that silence might save me.“You’re late.” His voice came from the living room, low and rough. I didn’t answer right away. I set my bag down slowly, bracing myself before stepping forward.“Work ran long,” I said evenly. “You know how it is.”He laughed, a short, ugly sound. “Don’t lie to me.”I stepped into the light and saw him slouched on the couch, eyes red, jaw tight. His hands were shaking slightly, and I knew exactly why. The money I’d hidden was gone. I could see it in his face.“Where is it,” he demanded.“Where’s what,” I asked, even though we both knew.“The cash,” he snapped. “Don’t play dumb with me.”My chest tightened. “That money wasn’t yours.”He stood up too fast, swayin
