Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper
Chapter 36
Chapter 36 The poison
CA SSANDRA
As my assistant walked toward me, my mind ached with a million questions. What were the results? Was this dire? Were we going to be able to save Asher after all?
Becky pushed her round glasses up the bridge of her nose. She was a beautiful girl- petite with short dark red hair and a pale, angular face full of freckles- and under normal circumstances, she had a pleasant demeanor.

“Sort of,” Becky replied, and her eyebrows creased together. “But sort of not at the same time. I… I couldn’t identify the venom.”
My heart dropped in my chest.
“Oh,” I whispered, and when my lower lip began to tremble, it took all of my effort to keep from falling to the ground. The world spun around me a little until I took a long, deep breath.

“Did you check the book in my laboratory?” I asked.
Surely the book that Emmett had recorded strange poisons in would have the answers we needed.
But Becky shook her head and frowned.
“Which one?” she asked.
I realized then that I hadn’t actually taken the time to show my assistant the book. Things had been so frantic and hectic around here lately that I hadn’t gotten

“We need to go back to the lab,” I said. “I think there’s an answer in that book. somewhere. There has to be.”
Becky insisted, but I shook my head.
