Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 300 Confrontation BECKY After I was caught in the room by Adalyn, I was seized at once and tied up against my will. They shouted at me and forced my hands behind my back. I tried using my claws to escape the ties but it was no use. They were much stronger than me and besides, I was outnumbered. My heart beat heavily in my chest as I thought of Dickson. All I wanted was to tell him the news of Silas’ drugging and let him know that while I was rattled here in the House of Moses, I would be just fine. All I needed was to keep my wits about me and try to uncover Adalyn and Oliver’s secret plot.

But all of that had been ruined and now

The Alpha King’s wife walked languidly, reminding me again of a jungle cat rather than a wolf. Her calculating gold eyes assessed me with a sharp gaze that made me want to avert contact. But I maintained my own gaze to show her she didn’t scare me.

“Inoticed you yesterday,” Adalyn revealed. “When you attempted to blend yourself in with those royal healers. It was a bold move but ultimately stupid. Did you think I was blind? That I wouldn’t notice you?” She laughed, a cruel sound that echoed in the room.

“If you didn’t think you were as clever

Wy 719 BUNUS as you do, I wouldn't have caught you so easily,” she continued, and she examined her long nails as if she were bored by this interaction. “I didn’t want to make any fuss. But you thought you were smart enough to beat me so I took the opportunity to deal with you myself. And here we are. No one knows where you are and who took you.” I narrowed my eyes and glared at her. I thought my expression would intimidate her but Adalyn merely laughed.

“Don’t look at me like that,” she said with a wave of her hand. “This is all your fault. You shouldn’t have snuck in here. Why would you want to come here anyway? I thought you would be less stupid than to come to the House of Moses.”

Adalyn frowned at me and then she seemed to realize the truth.
