Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 93 She is the world to him

CA SSANDRA

As Asher’s eyes locked onto mine, I tried to read his emotions, but I failed at the task miserably. I didn’t know what was wrong. His voice was coa rse and cold, and his expression was intense, to say the least.

Once again, I felt like cornered prey, and the feeling only heightened when he began to walk toward me. With every step he took forward, I took one back, until I accidentally found myself with my back against the far wall.

My heart beat faster in my chest and my stomach twisted in knots. The Alpha King looked angry, but I suspected there was more to it than that. Something had happened down in the dungeon; I just knew it.

But what did it have to do with me?

We stared at one another until finally, Asher spoke.

“Cora?”

My eyes widened before I could stop them and a shiver ran through me at the sound of my true name on his tongue.

Had he discovered the truth?

Did the imposter tell him?

It was the only explanation that made a bit of sense, however, it was impossible, wasn’t it? My appearance had changed in the five years since the inferno. There was no way that man could recognize me.

Asher waited for me to respond, and I tried to materialize an answer. What could I say? Could I admit to it and finally cast this charade aside?

I then thought of Finnick and knew that option wasn’t possible.

“You don’t look well, Your Majesty,” I uttered. “Maybe it would be a good ideal for you to sit down and take a moment to calm down.”

Asher’s lips turned downward into a frown. His eyes looked pained for a moment and then they darkened and glared at me. His lips parted as if he was about to say something further. He was so close to me that I could feel the

sweetness of his breath.
