Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 180 He already knows it

KALEB

The pathetic expression on Kane Collin’s otherwise attractive face was sickeningly pitiful. His long–lashed violet eyes were pathetic as they remained fixed on the beautiful healer, and I fought the urge to sigh.

I wasn’t unfamiliar with this look. I’d seen plenty of it on my mother’s face before she died. She would lean her emaciated body against the door frame and stare at the empty hall with longing in her ice–blue eyes. Yet, despite all of her yearning and wistful dreaming my father never visited her.

So, my mother brought that look all the way to her tomb. It was silly and shameful for her to believe that my father ever loved her, not to mention pathetic and naive. The whole idea of love in general was foolish.

I averted my eyes from Kane’s face and glanced over at Healer Cassandra, who looked both baffled and vexed. I had to admit that I found it interesting to see this young, lovely woman lose her temper, given the fact that she always seemed to be so calm and subdued. I was somehow delighted by her fierce and lively expression and desired to see more.

She was an intriguing woman who perplexed me in so many ways. In all of my travels, I’d never known a girl like her.

I smiled at her. “I would love to allow Lord Kane to confess to what he’s done.”

As she stared at me in confusion, I glanced at the Alpha King’s wounded brother. “Go ahead, Lord Kane. What have you been doing daily during this, your longest stay in Anemond? Please, do tell us.”

Kane’s glare hardened as if he wanted to give me a warning, but I couldn’t care less. “What I do with my days isn’t any of your business. It has nothing to do with you.”

I I

Oh, but it does,” I replied, and I shot him a launting smile as I took a step closer to him. “My guards have made countless reports of your presence while they were keeping an eye on Healer Cassandra.”
