Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 74 Strange man
CASSANDRA My heart pounded in my chest as I stared at the bottle. My hands began to shake so hard that for a moment, I nearly slipped and dropped the container on the ground. Were all of these bottles full of poison? Did someone raise these vipers here? Everything was so strange and confusing and my mind began to drown in the possibilities. Just as I started to steady myself, I heard something move behind me. I started to turn around, but I was shoved forward before I could. A cry rose up from my chest, and when I whipped around, a tall, dark figure stood behind me. The light down here was too dim to make out his features, and even if I could, he was moving far too quickly for me to recognize him. The man lunged at me, and suddenly, my mask was knocked off and crashed to the floor. As it broke into pieces, the smell of the basement hit me in full force. I plugged my nostrils as I tried to put some distance between my assailant and me, but it was too late. The scent of the anest
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 75 Vengeance fueled up
ADALYN Father didn’t look well when he returned home. His cheeks were red and his eyes were frantic as they darted around. As his hands twitched at his sides, I realized that wherever he’d come from, he was in a terrible mood. Whenever he was angry or agitated, his hand twitched, along with his right eye. As he paced around the room, I saw his eye tick, and I knew that whatever had happened, it wasn’t good. “What happened, Father?” I asked as I timidly approached. “You’re an idiot and a fool, Adalyn!” Father shouted as his nostrils flared. His sudden outburst startled me and I took a step back. “What do you-” I started to say, but before the words could leave my mouth, Mother appeared and swooped in between us. “Oliver, dear, what’s going on?” Mother said gently, and she rubbed Father’s shoulder. As she tried to soothe him, I took the opportunity to create some distance between us. After the incident in the palace laboratory, I’d remained in the House of Moses. My parents had to
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 76 The Scar
CASSANDRAI awoke with a start. My chest heaved as I fought to catch my breath and once my vision adjusted to the low light, I realized I was staring into Asher’s steel-gray eyes. Startled, I nearly jumped out of my bed.As I blinked and looked around, I realized I wasn’t in mine at all.What was going on?What had happened to me?“Cassandra,” Asher said softly in surprise. “You’re awake.”We were in a spacious room I’d never seen before. The furnishings were extravagant and fine, from the golden-threaded rug on the dark floors to the intricate tapestry hung on the emerald-painted walls. Soft embers glowed from the fireplace on the far end of the room and provided warmth and a light glow. Every surface gleamed and sparkled, and I admired the warm comforter on the bed.Yet, I couldn’t relax, not when I had no idea what was going on. I pulled myself out of bed and offered the Alpha King a small bow of respect.“Y-your M-majesty,” I stammered as my head swam with slight dizziness.As Ash
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 77 Her explanation
CASSANDRA I gulped involuntarily and searched my mind for the right words to say. The scar on my inner thigh? I knew the mark all too well, but I’d never expected Asher to see it. How had it come about? Had I been undressed for the royal healers? Had he stayed here to watch Erika change my clothing? I felt a little violated, but at the same time, there was a strange feeling knowing that Asher had seen my body like that. As I trembled, a puff of air came out of Asher’s nose. He lifted away from me and the air suddenly grew a little colder around us. The Alpha King seemed to be suppressing a laugh, but his lips were still curled into an amused expression. “I didn’t mean to see it,” he revealed. “I wasn’t purposefully looking there. But your maid let out a small gasp when she noticed it and I was worried that something was wrong, so I went to check.” Suddenly, the smile left his expression and he studied me seriously. “Cassandra, where did you get such a scar like that?” he asked,
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 78 Marks grew quickly
ASHER As much as I needed her to, Cassandra wouldn’t tell me the truth. As I stared into her deep green eyes, I could see the stubbornness within. Cora had been stubborn as well, completely defiant. Once she had made her decision, no one was able to change her mind, even if it was for her own well-being. Along with the stubbornness was a touch of fear. That small glint of it bothered me more than I wanted to admit. I didn’t want Cassandra Keller to fear me. In fact, it was the last thing in the world I wanted. Even if she didn’t want to tell me the truth, there were other ways of finding out what I’d already begun to assume. We could conduct genetic testing. A few strands of her long, copper hair were more than enough to be sufficient. If the royal healers didn’t seem trustworthy enough to conduct the research themselves, I could seek out other resources. I would do anything I could to find out the truth of the healer’s identity. Of course, even if I got the proof I needed to det
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 79 Complicated mystery
CASSANDRA Though we managed to untangle from one another and separate just in time for the prince to enter the room, I could tell the boy wasn’t happy to see me as he ran to his father. I could pretend our moment hadn’t happened, but it was clear that Marco suspected at least something. The prince’s eyes narrowed as they fell on me, and I did my best to smile and remain calm. “What are you doing?” he demanded and he glanced between Asher and me. “Why wouldn’t the guard let me in right away?” “What we’re doing is none of your business,” Asher said firmly, and then he raised his chin. “Besides, Marco, I’ve told you countless times before. I didn’t hear a knock. It’s impolite to enter anyone’s room without express permission. You didn’t wait for me to reply.” The young prince’s eyes dropped to the ground and he audibly gulped. “Sorry, Daddy,” he murmured. “Now, why are you here?” Asher asked directly. Marco raised his gaze and peeked at me. His cheeks darkened he gulped again. He
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 80 Lie
ASHER I stared into my son’s eyes with disdain as I fought to refocus my mind. Out of the corner of my vision, I could see Cassandra leaving the chamber. Though I needed to concentrate on Marco’s words, I was still a little bothered after my encounter with the healer. “Marco, why are you here?” I asked him as my frustration began to rise. When my son began to pout, I decided to soften my tone. The boy was visibly distressed and I didn’t want to usher in another tantrum. “What’s going on?” Though I didn’t want to admit it, part of me knew that I’d been neglecting the boy quite often these days. I’d been so caught up in all of the drama of the snakes and the market, and the other various goings on in Anemond that I’d barely even seen Marco. “Daddy, why haven’t you visited Mommy?” Marco whined, and his lip began to quiver. “She was severely hurt and she’s in pain. She needs you right away, Daddy!” A heavy sigh escaped me before I could stop it. Adalyn. Just the thought of her made
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 81 A taste of jealousy
ASHER When Cassandra Keller arrived at my study for the health check the next day, I was still thinking about Adalyn’s accusatory words. I wasn’t stupid enough to fall for the claim that the healer was somehow entangled with the king of Yurene. There was no way she had anything to do with him. I knew Adalyn’s words had come from jealousy. And yet, I couldn’t help but consider Kaleb. The way the king from the North treated Cassandra bothered me greatly. There was something there in the way the tall, foreign man studied her. There was an affection that I didn’t like, one that even now, I couldn’t deny. But a spy? No. There was no way that the beautiful healer I’d plucked all the way from Wild Crawler was an operative. “Is everything okay?” she asked me quietly. “Sure,” I remarked simply. She spread her supplies out on my desk and then got to work. As she poked and prodded me, my mind began to wander until I finally slipped back into reality. Cassandra was engrossed in her work. I

Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 314 Epilogue
CASSANDRAIt was a sunny day, the first one in a long time.After the long winter and cold spring, summer eventually came, and it was hotter than it had been in forever.Sunlight streamed in through the clinic window, and I was a little distracted as I stared out at the window at the kids in the yard.Finnick, Lila, Marley’s boys Eric and Adrian, and Dominic were all chasing each other, playing a game of tag with one another. Marco was out there with them too, but he was sitting on a bench alone, meters away from the rest of the kids. He looked lonely and didn’t move as the others played around him.It had been a month since the chaos in Merliscire and Adalyn’s death. I supposed it was still hard for Marco to accept the fact that his mother was gone. She had killed herself right in front of him after holding him hostage and threatening to hurt him. The poor little boy had endured so much trauma in such a short amount of time.He wasn’t a bad kid. He had a mean disposition at times, bu
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 313 Goodbye
ASHERIt had been a while since Cassandra entered the building, and with every passing minute, my nervousness and anxiety grew stronger. While I knew she was capable of handling herself, I didn’t like the idea of her being in the House of Moses without me.I began to feel restless. It was a mistake to let her leave with Adalyn alone.I pondered my options for a minute and then decided I couldn’t wait out on the grounds any longer, not when my mate could be in danger. I started to walk toward the building, but before I could get too far, the soldiers guarding us stopped me.At first, they were polite but quickly, they became rude. They shouted and told me to back up. I wasn’t allowed in, not until Lady Adalyn said so.I considered pushing past them but didn’t want to escalate the situation, so I nodded and retreated ever so slightly. All around me, the councilors grew restless. They too, wanted to leave, only they desired to go back to Merliscire. However, when a group of them tried to
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 312 Silas
BECKYAfter our conversation with Oliver Moses, Dickson and I had been seized by the Moses guards and taken into a room that appeared to be used for interrogation. The door was crafted from iron and there were no windows, so the room was dim and quiet. There were only a pair of chairs, each a little rickety and old-looking. It was a pathetic, desolate sort of place, which was surely on purpose.Time didn’t make much sense in there and I soon couldn’t figure out how long we’d been locked in. My body ached and my mind was spinning out with a million thoughts as I absorbed all of the information I’d heard in the past couple of days.I had thought Oliver Moses would quickly find out the truth or ask me to confront Adalyn again, but Dickson thought the opposite when I presented the idea to him.“Look at this place, Becky,” he said, his voice gloomy and negative. “No one is going to visit us any time soon.”Sadly, he appeared to be correct, and his point was only proven as time went on. Tho
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 311 Doomed
ADALYN Ada. How long had it been since I’d heard that name? My parents had never referred to me as Ada. They had never given me a single nickname or pet name. Mother had always said it was improper to call a child by anything other than their name and Father had never given me enough affection to bother. There were only two people in this world who had ever called me Ada. Asher. And Cora. I tensed as I tried to understand how Cassandra knew this. Had Asher told her about our close friendships when we were young? No, there was no way. Suddenly, I was hit with a realization, one I couldn’t ignore. I stared at Cassandra and studied her carefully. I searched her features, scrutinizing her nose, her mouth, the shape of her eyes. None were familiar, but as I stared at her deep emerald green irises and recognized the hue of them, it all began to make sense. I’d never understood how Asher could fall in love with a common healer. Cassandra wasn’t ugly by any means but to care so deepl
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 310 Please stop, Ada
CASSANDRAAdalyn’s golden eyes narrowed and then locked on mine.“Why would that wicked woman come with us?” she demanded as she continued to shoot daggers in my direction.“Those are my terms,” Asher insisted. “You want an audience with me? Those are my requirements.”It was a bold assertation on his behalf. As long as Adalyn had Prince Marco in her grasp, she had the upper hand, but she was far too weak to realize her power. Asher was still the Alpha King, after all, so I supposed that subconsciously, she felt compelled to obey.Silence hung heavily in the air and then finally she sighed.“Fine,” she huffed and then she flashed me a sneer. “Let her come. Perhaps we’ll have some fun with your little plaything once we’re there.”“You won’t harm her,” Asher growled.“We’ll see,” Adalyn said with a shrug. “Come. It’s time we left this musty room.”Her big eyes scanned the room and then she addressed the councilors. “The rest of you shall come as well. Might as well make an event of it.”
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 309 Hostage
CASSANDRAAdalyn’s face twisted again at Karsh’s cold and daring question, only this time, she didn’t recover and lost any sense of calm within her.“How dare you demean the future king’s mother?” she roared, her golden eyes flashing with anger as she bared her teeth.Despite her outrage and fierce expression, the councilor remained as cool as ever and didn’t even flinch. It was an impressive sight to behold and it made me respect Karsh even more. Adalyn had always been a brat but I had the sense that her ferocity wasn’t something to take lightly, at least not today.“I’m just stating the truth, Lady Adalyn,” Karsh said with a slightly raised chin, his eyes locked on hers. “The king is alive, I can assure you-”Before he could finish his statement, Adalyn motioned with her hand and gave a signal to the soldiers behind her.“Seize that traitor!” she ordered, and her men launched into action at once.My heart raced in my chest as I saw the soldiers approach Karsh, but before they could
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 308 Argument
CASSANDRAThankfully, Adalyn’s proposal wasn’t as convincing to the councilors as she’d expected. It was clear from the glint in her golden eyes and the proud expression on her beautiful face that she assumed all would accept the idea of Marco’s ascension without complaint, but that couldn’t have been further from the truth. The room dissolved into whispers and gasps at once.One of the councilors I didn’t know the name of cleared his throat and all fell quiet.“Pardon me for my bluntness, Lady Adalyn, but it’s absurd to announce a new Alpha King when there is no evidence showing that the king is dead,” he pointed out, his thick dark eyebrows furrowed at her. “We have nothing of the sort before us-”“The forensic report will explain everything-” Adalyn began to say but the councilor waved her off with his hand.“A report means nothing,” he stated boldly, and then he glanced around the room to garner attention from the other councilors. “If the Alpha King is dead, we need to see his co
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 307 Council Meeting
CASSANDRAOne thing was absolutely certain amongst Asher, the councilors he trusted, and I.Whatever Oliver Moses wanted to do at the council meeting, we needed to stop him. We were in complete agreement but knew we needed others to agree to our cause. We needed the support of other Packs in order to bring him down, and knew we wouldn’t get far without it.“Oliver Moses has quite a number of soldiers stationed in Anemond, especially around Merlisicre,” Karsh revealed solemnly. “If we want to confront the Moseses, we will need a troop of good soldiers of our own.”Though I didn’t want to admit it, the councilor was correct in his assessment. Despite having support from Alpha Gareth, Wild Crawler on its own couldn’t provide enough soldiers. If we wanted to gather real numbers to stand against the Moses soldiers, we needed to contact other Packs and ask for their support.“Your Majesty, it would be best for you to remain in the darkness before the meeting,” Jacoby advised after a moment
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 306 Kill
ADALYNThis girl was stupid and annoying, to say the least.Yet, despite these facts, I regretted that I had underestimated her. I should have dealt with the tiny redhead girl right after Cassandra Keller had disappeared. Now, she had become a big problem, one I wasn’t sure how to handle.“I was hiding in the room next to yours when you spoke,” Becky chimed in.Father’s face changed when she mentioned the meeting. His complexion paled and his hazel eyes widened, but when he ran his hands through his graying hair, it was clear that he seemed convinced by her words.I had to hand it to her.Placing herself at the scene of the crime was a bold move, one I wasn’t sure how to work around. This was damning to be certain but I had to remain collected if I wanted to make it out of this and continue my plans without interruption.Silas’ little kitten was a true thorn in my side.Father studied the girl’s expression like a fox studying its prey. “I hope you acknowledge that you will be punished
