All Chapters of Alpha King's Lost Luna: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

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

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

CASSANDRA A lump formed in my throat and my heart began to race as I stood frozen in the doorway. Beyond the table, Erika gave me an apologetic expression and mouthed the word “sorry”. I could tell she felt bad that they were there, but I knew it wasn’t her fault. Erika couldn’t stop the Alpha King’s wife and son from entering even if she wanted to. Adalyn continued to stare at me coldly, and Erika hustled to my side. “Erika, could you please prepare some tea?” I asked her quietly. “In the meantime, I’ll deal with Lady Adalyn.” “Are you sure, Cassandra?” the maid replied, and her eyes widened. “I can stay-” “I can do this,” I insisted. “Please leave us.” Erika nodded and then slipped away to make the tea. Once she was gone, I turned to Lancel. “Could you grant Lady Adalyna and me some privacy?” I requested, but the older man didn’t seem too keen on the idea. “I’ll be right here,” he said curtly, and he crossed his arms against his chest. Frustration swelled within me, and I re

CASSANDRA As I fought to catch my breath and make sense of all of this, Lancel spoke up and called out to the man. “Release the Alpha King’s wife,” he pleaded carefully, and he raised his hands as if in surrender. “We can reach an understanding, but only if you let her go-” “An understanding?” the man scoffed, and he shook his head slowly as he held tightly onto Adalyn. “There’s nothing to understand. There’s no way you’re going to handle this peacefully. I know I’m dead anyway, so I may as well just take her with me.” He gripped onto her even tighter still and dug his claws further into her arm. Adalyn whimpered as trails of blood poured down her skin. My eyes welled up with tears before I could stop them. This was cruel. As much as I detested Adalyn, she didn’t deserve this. “Do you like that, baby?” the man laughed as she writhed under his hold. “Huh? Keep squirming and I’ll do much worse. Trust me, I have all kinds of ways to hurt you.” “The king won’t let you get away with

ASHEROliver had been trying to kill the man. Of that, I was certain.I narrowed my eyes and studied my father-in-law, who was now checking on Adalyn with his wife beside him. Linda was sobbing but gave Cassandra the space to fully examine her daughter. Meanwhile, Oliver’s normally stoic face was even more stern than usual.Once I gave the order to bring her to the royal healers and Cassandra deemed her ready to be moved, the guards swept Adalyn up off of the ground. I watched the Beta family follow the guards out of the corridor, and once they were gone, I considered Oliver’s actions.The way the events had all unfolded was very suspicious, to say the least. Oliver hadn’t seemed even a little worried about Adalyn when he’d stepped forward to attack the imposter, nor had he waited for my orders. If I hadn’t interfered at the last moment, the Beta would have killed the man and kept us from getting the answers we so desperately needed.Curious. It was all so curious.I pondered it for
