Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 297 Adalyn's Plot BECKY i I knew Cassandra and the Alpha King needed to be informed of Adalyn’s plan before they returned to Anemond. If Adalyn really intended to use their son to manipulate the king, they needed to be aware in advance so he wouldn't fall for the ruse.

Of course, I had no idea how to get this information to them. I hadn't received any news about Rayden or Cassandra before I arrived in the House of Moses, nor had I'in a while. I phoned Wild Crawler every day in hopes of hearing about their whereabouts but there hadn’t been any updates since Rayden had left for Yurene. There was no telling where they were or if they were

safe.

I wanted to pull my hair out in “> frustration but I managed to remain calm and level-headed. I needed to keep my wits about me here if I wanted to survive this mess of a situation.

As their talk ended, I was about to get close to the door so I could peer out through the door crack. I needed to make sure no one would see me when I left the room, maids or otherwise.

Before I could move an inch, Adalyn’s voice suddenly grew louder. I stiffened and placed my hand over my mouth.

She was just outside the room.

Adalyn grumbled to herself and I couldn’t make sense of what she was saying. It didn’t matter. I was about to

get caught if she entered the room, Just as I heard the door click, I slipped behind the thick curtains. A mere handful of seconds later, Adalyn came in. Luckily, the whole room was dim and Adalun didn’t tend to turn on lights, so I managed to steal a glance at her undetected.

She took a seat on the couch with her back toward the curtains. She remained utterly still and seemed to be waiting for someone as she continued to look at the clock on the wall.

Soon after, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Adalyn called out in a bored, lazy sort of voice.

A maid entered, followed by a man. I recognized him as the head of the royal

healer had done all of this to remain in Adalyn Moses’ favor? To have his children reap the benefits of nobility? It was strange to me that someone would do serious harm to Silas for all of that no matter how tempting it was. As someone who had grown up poor with no sort of title or power, I could never do what the healer had done. None of that mattered to me anyway, but as healers, it was our duty to take care of our patients. Harming them was a villainous
