Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 293 Chaser CASSANDRA ; Unfortunately, our moment of bliss didn’t last long.

The night before we were set to leave the Alpha of Red Stone’s home and head toward Wegalla, an accident happened.

“It was likely someone from Yurene,” he sighed. “They finally found this place.” “If that’s the case, why would they take two soldiers?” Asher pointed o “Wouldn't they go straight for Cassandra?” “That would mean that Cassandra i

their target,” Helene chimed in, her caramel eyes regarding me seriously.

I remained silent as they spoke, but Helene’s words ushered in a realization. If the target wasn’t me, who would be the one worth chasing? There was only one answer that made sense to me.
