Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

(Third person's POV)

This scene was too visually shocking. Seeing Emma's desperate pursuit, Ethan's foot on the accelerator involuntarily loosened, and the Shadow Ghost noticeably slowed down.

Emma saw a glimmer of hope, her wolf pup stirring beneath her skin. Her Daddy still loved her. He wouldn't abandon her.

She believed her dedication would surely move him. Even if Lily was his biological daughter, she was dead and could do nothing. She, however, was alive and could still win her Daddy over with sweet words and affection.

The thought gave her renewed strength. Despite the pain shooting through her small body, Emma pushed herself up from the cold ground.

Blood trickled from her chin where it had struck the pavement. Her nightgown was torn and dirty, stained with patches of crimson. But none of that mattered.

All that mattered was reaching her Daddy before he changed his mind again.

Emma crawled towards the car, crying out in pain, ignoring the scrapes and blood on her hands and knees. She focused on getting closer to Ethan's Shadow Ghost.

"Daddy... look at Emma... Emma hurts so much... Daddy..."

As the distance closed, Ethan could clearly see Emma's injuries through his enhanced werewolf vision. Her knees were scraped raw, leaving bloody trails on the pavement. Her palms were torn from dragging herself forward.

She stretched out her bloodied hands, like a wounded wolf pup seeking protection from its Daddy.

"Please... Daddy... Emma is sorry... so sorry..."

Emma knew that to gain Ethan's sympathy and forgiveness, she needed to appear pitiful. She remembered her mother's successful attempts to get Ethan's attention by feigning illness or injury.

This time, she didn't need to pretend. The pain was real, searing through her small body with each movement.

Despite the agony, she endured, hoping to regain his favor, her wolf pup whimpering beneath her skin.

"Daddy... please don't leave Emma alone... Emma will be good..."

Inside the car, Ethan's feelings were complicated. His wolf paced restlessly beneath his skin, torn between protective instinct and righteous anger.
