Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 201 A note

We sat there in silence, and as I held Finnick tightly in my lap, Erika and I gazed at each other sadly. It seemed as if no one knew what to say. My mind was in a million different places and I wasn’t sure what thought to act on.

I was so grateful to have Finnick and Erika with me, but I was sad that we were all in this position. Guilt flooded through me as I ran my fingers through Finnick’s soft dark hair and I fought the urge to cry.

Erika released a soft sigh and wilted a little.

“Is this it?” she wondered quietly. “We are leaving our homeland for an unknown

country?”

I nodded. “I’m afraid so. I’m so sorry that I got you involved in my mess again,

Erika. This is all my fault.”

But the maid shook her head and reached out to touch my arm. “Don’t be silly, honey. That’s not what I meant. I’m more worried about you. As far as I’m concerned, I’m bored with Anemond anyway. If we have to leave, let’s make the best of it.”

I knew she was just trying to cheer me up, and I appreciated her kindness in such a terrible situation.

Finnick suddenly shook his head and gazed up at me. His lovely gray eyes were wide but his expression was serious. “I agree with Aunt Erika, Mommy. I don’t like Anemond and I don’t like Prince Marco. As long as I’m with you, I don’t mind where we go. I’ll keep you safe.”

He smiled up at me and I leaned down and kissed his forehead.

We snuggled up for a moment and I gazed beyond us at the window on the far side of the room. Looking through it, I could see the downpour and the misty

surroundings, and I thought of Asher. My heart began to ache as I imagined his beautiful face and for a moment, I was about to cry.

I wasn’t sure what had happened to him and I hadn’t had time to worry about him before. With all of the commotion, my mind had been in a thousand spots, but now that things were quiet, the Alpha King was at the forefront of my thoughts.

I couldn’t imagine if something terrible happened to him.
