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.

I felt bad that she’d been awoken at this late of an hour.
“Ca ssandra,” she greeted me as she approached, and then her eyes fell to Asher. “How is the Alpha King?”

“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
