Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

My jaw dropped in shock as I took in the gruesome sight, and for a moment, I was frozen in place in pure panic, but then, I managed to snap out of my haze and rushed over to the pair.

“Becky,” Cassandra greeted me as she struggled to support the man. Her emerald eyes were enormous with concern and her expression was panicked.

“What happened?” I asked as I studied the man in her arms. His shirt sleeves were soaked with blood, and his face was pale, likely as a result of the blood loss. His captivating violet eyes were distant and his breathing was laborious as he tried to maintain consciousness. It took me a moment to realize who he was, and then it hit me

He was Lord Kane, the Alpha King’s brother.

“I’ll explain later,” Cassandra remarked as she tried to steady Kane. “But I need you to bring me one of the medical kits at once. Lord Kane needs immediate medical intervention.”

I nodded and then swiftly rose to my feet and practically sprinted to the supply room. I rooted around until I found one of the kits, and after I double–checked the supplies and grabbed some extra towels and wipes, I ran back out to the lobby.

“We should get him to an exam room,” I suggested, and when Cassandra nodded, I stepped over to the other side of Lord Kane and helped her steady him.

We guided him out of the lobby and into the nearest room. Luckily, he was lucid enough to get onto the exam table, but once he was there, he laid down and closed his eyes.

“Kane?” Cassandra asked worriedly. She reached out to take his pulse, but he opened his eyes again before we could freak out too much further.

“I’m here,” he assured her with a small groan. “Just needed to close them for a second.”

I passed the medical kit over to Cassandra and then remembered what had just happened.

“Cassandra, I don’t understand what’s going on,” I uttered, and my stomach twisted in knots. “But things have been crazy over here.”

“Crazy?” she repeated back in surprise.

“Cassy, they took Finnick,” I blurted out, and the healer stopped in her tracks. Her lips parted in shock and her already fair complexion paled further.
