Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 61 Accident in the lab

“Is there a way to open it?” I wondered as I stared at the box.

The librarian squatted down beside it and inspected it closely. Her round glasses nearly fell off her nose as she leaned in closer and took the large lock into

her hands.

“Ah,” she remarked, and she pointed to the back of the lock. “See there? That’s the royal seal.”

“Oh,” I replied simply and then I frowned. “So that means…”

“You’d need permission from the Alpha King, most likely,” the librarian said and she offered me an apologetic glance. “His Majesty is probably the only one with the power to open it. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help.”

“It’s no problem,” I assured her, but it was quite the opposite. I was too afraid to visit Asher and didn’t know how to face him after the events of last night.

“Is there anything else-”

I shook my head. “No, I think I’m going to grab my things and go back to my lab. Thank you again for letting me in, I appreciate it greatly.”

“Of course, Healer Ca ssandra,” the librarian replied.

I quickly returned my notebooks and pens to my backpack and once I had everything, I walked out of the library and headed back toward the lab. I was disappointed that I hadn’t found anything helpful and also a little intrigued by that strange box. Normally, I would let something like that go, but I had a strong feeling that something interesting was in there and my mind wouldn’t dismiss it.

As I made my way down the hall, I heard loud voices in the distance. My

eyebrows creased together. What was going on?

The volume increased as I got closer and when I reached the doors, I noticed the guard’s face was bright red. Asher had appointed him to keep anyone who wasn’t supposed to be in the lab out.
