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 82 Let's open the box
CASSANDRA Even though I wanted to tell Asher everything and reveal what the king of Yurene and I had spoken about after Margaret had left the room, Kaleb had asked me to keep the details of our conversation a secret. I couldn’t betray anything about his father’s illness, not when he’d been kind enough to save me so many times. And besides, there was no way I could even remotely mention Kaleb’s offer to join him in the North. There was no possible way Asher could understand that, not even a little bit. Hell, I couldn’t even understand it myself, not when there was so much going on. The snake pit. Adalyn. The encounter with the Alpha King in his chambers last night… I certainly couldn’t say anything after last night. I could hardly stand to be in the same room as Asher. His proximity to me was far too much already that I could barely handle this health check without losing my mind. Was he still thinking about it as much as I was? Still thinking about me, the way I’d wrapped my
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 83 Stolen
CASSANDRA We left Asher’s study immediately, and the moment we set foot in the hallway, the guards stationed outside both glanced at each other in alarm. “Is everything all right, Your Majesty?” one asked as he studied the Alpha King’s expression. To his credit, Asher was looking slightly exhausted. His dark circles were far more present than they’d been in the past week. As the illness was affecting him more and more, his physical appearance began to look more sickly. He was still as handsome as ever, but it was evident he wasn’t sleeping much these days. “I’m fine,” Asher answered him politely. “I’ll return shortly. I’m going to accompany Healer Cassandra on an errand. Remain here.” “Yes, Your Majesty,” the guard replied obediently, and after he offered Asher a nod, the Alpha King turned to me and gestured forward. “Let’s go,” he said, and then we made our way down the hall. Our walk down to the royal library was silent, and I once again found myself surprised that Asher was
Alpha King's Lost Luna Chapter 84 Her plan
ASHER “Your Majesty, I think the intruder could be the same man from the basement,” Cassandra explained from the far side of the room. After the healer had announced her theory in the library, I’d asked her to speak with me privately back in my study. I didn’t want to further trouble the librarian, who was already completely on edge or give the other guards further reason to panic. If the intruder was amongst the guards as we suspected, I also didn’t see any reason to reveal too much information to the ones present in the library. I wasn’t sure who I could trust these days, apparently, so I assigned the ones who’d investigated the trashed room to clean up for the librarian. So now, it was just Cassandra and I alone together in the study. As she explained her train of thought, I couldn’t help but admire her intelligence. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but she was very smart, and I liked it. Cora had been highly intelligent too. It was one of the traits I loved the most abo

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
