Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 76 The Scar

CA SSANDRA

I awoke with a start. My chest heaved as I fought to catch my breath and once my vision adjusted to the low light, I realized I was staring into Asher’s steel-gray eyes. Startled, I nearly jumped out of my bed.

We were in a sp acious room I’d never seen before. The furnishings were extravagant and fine, from the golden-threaded rug on the dark floors to the intricate tapestry hung on the emerald-painted walls. Soft embers glowed from the fireplace on the far end of the room and provided warmth and a light glow. Every surface gleamed and sparkled, and I admired the warm comforter on the bed.
