Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 202 Love forever and always

I continued running in the forest. My lungs cried out in pain with every stride, but I didn’t want to stop, not now. Silas raced alongside me, but I barely acknowledged his presence.

I wished this was a dream. I wished I could wake up and say that none of this was real, that I wasn’t in this position, and that everything was alright. But this wasn’t a dream. It was a living nightmare.

Ca ssandra was leaving.

I couldn’t allow that to happen.

When Silas told me what was happening, I couldn’t believe him. I had frowned and stared at the Beta in complete and total shock as his words set in. His golden. eyes had stared into mine with intensity and solemnity as he shared the truth, and though I knew he was being honest, part of me wished he was just being duplicitous.

But he wasn’t. Ca ssandra had been taken by the king of Yurene hours ago. He’d stolen her away while I’d been sedated by Adalyn at the military base.

Despite the heavy rain that likely delayed their departure, she had probably passed the borders of Wegalla and left the country entirely.

Rationally, I knew it was unlikely that I would catch up to her. But I was still running anyway. I would go to the ends of the earth for Ca ssandra.

As I dashed through the thick line of trees, I continued to ruminate on the situation. Despite his surname, I couldn’t blame Silas. He had proven his loyalty to me by saving Ector.

Before the Beta had told me that Ca ssandra had been taken by Kaleb, he

informed me that Ector was in stable condition. He had borrowed a car from the military base and had driven Ector to Anemond. Once he arrived at the capital, he checked Cas sandra’s brother into Keller’s under a fake name and arranged for a royal healer to look after him.

I was relieved that Ector was alright. His absence had been a major cause of concern and I was grateful that the Beta had made sure he was safe and far away from Oliver Moses’ clutches.

But when he told me about Kaleb and his dastardly intentions, I’d lost all sense of calm and grabbed him by the collar.

While I couldn’t blame the Beta for not being able to stop the Northern king, I was still angered.
