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

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
