Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 253

Chapter 253

(Emma's POV)

"No." I shook my head without hesitation, keeping my eyes fixed on Ethan.

I knew what would happen if I told the truth. Mom had warned me many times about our "special treatments." I'd lose

everything-my home, my status, and most importantly, Alpha Ethan Stone's protection.

I clung tighter to Ethan's arm, feeling the strong muscles beneath his sleeve. He was power and safety. He was the Alpha King of

the Silvercrest Pack.

"Emma, are you sure?" Ethan asked gently, his amber eyes searching mine. "You can tell me anything, sweetheart. I'll always

protect you."

I nodded firmly, making sure my face showed no doubt. "I'm sure, Daddy. Mommy never hurts me."

The words tasted bitter in my mouth, but I kept my expression innocent. I learned long ago how to lie convincingly.

"See?" Mom's voice came from behind Ethan, sounding relieved and hurt at the same time. "How could you believe such terrible

things about me?"

I pressed my face against Ethan's chest so no one could see my expression. I didn't want to look at the man on the floor who

claimed to be my real father.

(Connor's POV)

Rage surged beneath my skin as I watched my daughter lie to protect Victoria. My wolf snarled inside me, desperate to break free

and protect our pup.

"Emma, you don't have to be afraid anymore," I urged, softening my voice as I addressed my biological daughter. "I'm your real

father, and I promise I'll protect you. Just tell the truth about what Victoria has done to you."

Emma's small face contorted with anger and fear. She shook her head vehemently, pressing herself closer to Ethan Stone.

"No! You're lying! Alpha Ethan is my daddy!" Tears streamed down her face as she buried herself deeper into Ethan's protective embrace. "I don't want any other daddy!"

Each word was like a knife to my heart. This was my flesh and blood rejecting me completely. The bond that should have existed between us had been severed by Victoria's manipulation.

Ethan's powerful arms enveloped Emma's small frame. "It's okay, Emma. I'm right here," he murmured, his eyes cold as they

met mine over her head.

I saw something flicker in Emma's eyes beneath her tears. Even at her young age, she understood power. Ethan Stone was the Alpha King, the most powerful wolf in the Northern Territory. I was just a disgraced wolf with a criminal record.
