Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 25 Where was she from?

CA SSANDRA

The Alpha King’s tone told me all I needed to know. This was not a request, it

was an order, and it was one I couldn’t refuse.

“Oh,” I remarked quietly, and then I nodded. “Yes, Your Majesty. Thank you.”

Asher released his hold on my arm and then nodded back before gesturing to the luxury car. “Let’s go then, Mrs. Keller,”

My name on his lips sounded so strange, but I couldn’t let myself freeze up now. I wanted nothing more than for him to call me by my true name, but that could never happen again.

I followed the Alpha King to the car, and once we were there, a se rvant held the door open for us. Just as we were climbing in, I heard a familiar voice calling my

name.

“Ca ssy!” Marley yelled, and when I turned around, I saw her running toward me with great speed. Jasper wasn’t too far behind, and a smile broke out on my face.

I met her halfway, and she threw her arms around me when we met. We hugged each other tightly, and once we parted, Jasper and I exchanged nods.

“Oh, I can’t believe you’re leaving,” Marley said sadly, and her eyes welled up at little with tears. “What am I going to do without you, Ca ssy?”

I smiled back at her and rested my hand on her arm. “You’re going to be an excellent healer, Marley. I promise you can do this.”

“I don’t know,” Marley replied, but I shook my head.

“You can do this,” I repeated. After a moment, my best friend nodded and then wiped the tears from her eyes.
