All Chapters of The Missing Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

*ALEX*She might have her doubts about accepting my offer, but I am confident that she will eventually accept it, whether she likes it or not."Please give me enough time to decide, Sir," Lauren replied, avoiding my eyes and staring at the empty space in front of her."OK. I'll give you enough time to decide." I sighed inwardly. "Let's just focus on Granny's burial for now." I said, rising to my feet and leaving the dining room quietly. I want her to analyze my offer carefully. I'm feeling confident that she will accept my offer since I'm kind to her and I'm offering her a bigger salary.After breakfast, Lauren stayed in the living room, staring intently at Granny's coffin with sadness covering her eyes and face. With each passing minute, she was aware that her time with her precious grandmother was coming to an end.I sat there on the other end of the couch, itching to be near her but at the same time wanting to give her much-needed time to mourn the passing of the person who is both

*ALEX*We arrived at the basement door, and I grabbed the doorknob and pushed it open. I looked at my nervous-looking companion standing beside me. I can feel the loud beating of her heart. "Don't be afraid, sweetheart," I said softly, wanting her to calm down.Lauren looked down at the pitch darkness below. "It's so dark in there," she said, her voice trembling a bit due to nervousness. I'm itching to hold her hand so that she will feel relaxed, but I went against it."I know. Just wait here a little bit, sweetheart, and I'll light the candle before we go down, and I'll also inform the wolf that he needs to shift into his human form to avoid scaring you," I said, stepping on the staircase, ready to go down."Um, wait, what is the wolf's name?" She asked, and I halted on my step.I looked at her and smirked. "You will know his name later. I'll go down now before you change your mind," I responded, and I descended the stairs, taking my time and trying to remember the state of my room d

*ALEX* I woke up the following day feeling depressed and dispirited. My bewitching human mate doesn't like me. She doesn't want to have anything to do with me, and it's making me sad and anxious for what lies ahead for us. It bothered me so much that my heart started bleeding the moment she told me that she didn't want to be with someone of my kind. It's a blatant rejection that definitely hurt me and my wolf, but thankfully it's not yet the absolute worst thing that happened because my human mate doesn't yet know how to reject the mate bond properly. As long as she doesn't yet know about the mechanics of rejection, we're both safe. If I can't convince her to give us a try, I have no choice but to force her to submit to me, whether she likes it or not. It's comforting to know that she hasn't properly rejected me yet; I still have enough time to make her fall for me. And I'll do whatever it takes to win her over. After Lauren tried escaping last night, I had my men guard all the en

*ALEX*I was lying on the bed, talking to my mother on my cell phone.'Mom, send me the photos of the three house and lot properties that you and Dad purchased recently.''Huh? But why?''I will bring my future Luna to the city so that I can finally take over Dad's responsibility as the next Alpha King,' I explained.'Ah, okay, so you need a house to stay?''Yep!' I answered.'Our house is big. We have lots of rooms here to accommodate you and your future Luna! We love to have you and Lauren here in our home, son.''I know, Mom. Thanks for the offer, but I'm still in the process of earning Lauren's trust and love. Therefore, I require a private setting where Lauren and I can be together without my family constantly watching. I don't want her to feel uneasy or insecure in the presence of so many people. You know the drill, Mom. Cultivating a woman's love is not easy.' I said, straight to the point.'What's wrong, son? Lauren doesn't like you?' My mother asked.'Yep. She told me that sh

*LAUREN*The day of our departure to the city has finally arrived.I wake up early, at 6:00 in the morning. I didn't get up from the bed right away; instead, I stared at the ceiling of my room, and a mixture of excitement and sadness surged through my veins. I'm excited to see the city of my dreams and sad at the same time because I'm going to leave behind this place that has been my home for many years.I can no longer visit Granny's grave all the time. I wish to return here someday to pay her a visit. I will always remember this place. A single tear fell from my eyes. I felt emotional all of a sudden.I glanced out the window, feeling melancholy. I can't understand myself. I felt excited yesterday and last night before I went to sleep. I've been waiting for this day; my dream of seeing the city and finally working there is about to happen.It's too good to be true!I'm not gonna lie; the truth is, Mr. Wolf, make my dreams come true. Despite his perverted nature, he is actually a goo
