Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 109

The two men knelt before me, their faces bloodied from my security team's efficient handling. Despite their predicament, they continued their desperate

pleas.

"Alpha Stone, please," the taller one begged, blood dripping from his split lip. "She approached us first. She was flirting, touching our arms, suggesting we meet her in private."

I studied their faces carefully, searching for signs of deception.

"We wouldn't lie to you, sir," the shorter man added, his voice trembling. "We know who you are. We'd never disrespect your... your woman."

"Unfortunately, we were in the restaurant's blind spot," the taller one continued. "No cameras to back us up. But I swear on my mother's life, she started it."

I noticed the slight twitch in his left eye, the excessive sweating despite the cool temperature of the room. Classic signs of lying.

"Please, Alpha Stone," the shorter one pleaded. "We made a mistake responding to her, but we didn't threaten her. She's twisting what happened."

Their desperation seemed genuine, but something about their story didn't add up. Victoria would never behave so carelessly in public.

Daniel Reed, my Beta, leaned close to my ear. "Their scents indicate fear, but not necessarily dishonesty, Alpha."

I nodded slightly, acknowledging his assessment. My wolf remained suspicious, but I needed more information before passing judgment.

A piercing scream cut through my thoughts.
