All Chapters of The Billionaire Alpha's Sea Luna: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

​Serena’s POV ​After breakfast, I slipped into the grand library, pulling a book off the shelf to lose myself in while I waited for Cole to leave on pack business. I needed the estate clear so I could carry out my plan without any eyes on me. ​I sat reading for a while until my phone buzzed with an incoming call from Julia. ​"Hey, Julia," I said, my voice sounding considerably lighter now that I’d eaten and rested. ​"Hey, hun! Everything okay? You sound so much better today!" ​"Well, I'm okay," I replied, leaning back into the leather armchair. "I got a little sleep and had a full breakfast, so I feel a lot better than I did yesterday." ​"So... what about the wedding plans?" Julia asked carefully, testing the waters. ​"I'm actually about to order that pretty pastel blue garter you showed me online yesterday." ​"Oh, thank goodness!" Julia squealed through the receiver. "You're still going through with the wedding! You two make such a gorgeous couple, Serena. So many women are a

​Serena’s POV​"Sweet pea," Sue Ellen drawled in a soft, honeyed tone the second she reached the booth.​"Please do not call me that," I snapped, setting my hands flat on the wooden table. "You can call me Luna."​"Okay, hun—I mean, Luna," she corrected herself quickly, adjusting her oversized sunglasses.​"Sit," I ordered, suppressing the wave of nausea her presence caused.​"Gerard is coming too," Sue Ellen mentioned, sliding into the booth across from me. "I told him not to bother, but he insisted on tagging along."​"Fine," I replied coldly.​"We had to drive all the way from out of town," she added, dabbing her powdered neck with a handkerchief."Cole made it very clear he doesn't ever want to see us back here in Swallow Bay."​"You're lucky he didn't throw you both behind bars," I hit back curtly."So I suggest you count your blessings."​A minute later, the glass bell chimed again, and Thomas shuffled through the café door. He looked pale, gaunt, and wide-eyed with anxiety.​"L

Serena's POV "Cole, I can't spend any time up with you in the mountains! I just can't spend eleven months in the snow in some cabin!" ​Cole looked genuinely hurt, his eyes darkening as his expression fell. ​"I thought you'd be happy," he said softly. "Especially with the fact that we'd be alone together most of the time. Obviously, I'm going there to work, but I'd have so much time just to spend with you. No distractions." ​"I can't go. I had my own plans," I blurted out. ​"Own plans to do what?" he asked, his brow pulling together. "I know you're Luna, and you have duties, but this isn't like a traditional pack. Not much is required of you here at Sunset Falls. To be honest, growing up, I saw so many Lunas bombarded with endless duties, and I never agreed with it. I always swore that when I found my Luna, I wouldn't let her get bogged down with all that stress." ​"Cole, I understand all that," I said, my chest tightening. "I'm not only talking about Luna duties. My life i

Serena's POV "So that was it? Nothing else happened?" I asked, giving him one last chance to reveal anything else that might have occurred that night. ​"No, things have happened," Bruce grunted, his eyes narrowing as resentment crept into his slurred voice. "Now Helena and Sue Ellen have taken my son from me! They told me it was only going to be until they got Cole to sign over some properties to Helena for Caleb." ​"What?" I asked, my brows pulling together in confusion. ​"Sue Ellen had a plan," Bruce explained, leaning heavy shoulders against the table. "She wanted some prime property from Cole, but she had to go through Helena to try and get it. Cole wanted nothing to do with Sue Ellen after she poisoned his guards and his Luna, or something like that. I don't really know the full story." ​My throat went instantly dry. I reached down and picked up my glass of water, taking a slow sip to keep my hands from shaking. Everything was finally fitting into place—the entire

Serena's POV ​The sound of Bruce’s slurred voice filled the lounge, the recording playing at maximum volume through my phone's speaker.​Cole’s eyebrows pulled together in confusion as he stood up from the glass table.​"Babe, sit. Please, just listen," I said softly, holding my ground.​Helena bolted to her feet, her face pale. "What is this trash?! Turn it off! We need to sort out this contract!" she insisted frantically, her voice pitching high with desperation. She turned toward Cole, her hands trembling. "Please, Cole, tell her to turn it off!"​"No, let it play. I want to hear it," Cole commanded, his eyes glowing a deep, dangerous gold.​"She's crazy! She doesn't know what she's doing!" Helena shouted, panic overriding her polished composure. "She's just trying to turn you against me!"​The air in the room thickened as her wolf surfaced slightly, snapping at her control under the sheer pressure of exposure.​Cole didn't even flinch. He looked at me first, his voice firm. "Se
