Crippled Luna's Farewell: Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception

Chapter 20

In the divorce settlement, Sarah had made her stance crystal clear… she was relinquishing custody

of Alex.

But that didn’t mean he had stopped being her son.

This bond was not something that could be cut off so quickly, and maternal instincts still made Sarah feel extremely responsible for him.

So, when Alex abruptly hung up on her, Sarah’s heart sank. A prickle of unease crept up her spine, and without wasting a moment, she called back.

The phone rang and rang, but Alex didn’t answer.

Instead, he turned his little face away from the screen, his lips pressed into a pout as he stubbornly ignored the call.

As much as he missed his mother, he already kind of regretted making the call.

Sarah’s worry deepened. She didn’t like this silence.. not one bit.

The maid picked up almost immediately, her voice hurried but steady.

“Young Master should be fine, Luna. I’ll go check on him right away and call you back.”

Hearing this, Sarah exhaled, some of the tension easing from her shoulders.

“Thank you. Please let me know as soon as you can.”

Upstairs, the maid knocked gently before stepping into Alex’s room.

“What happened, young master? Your mother was worried.”

“Oh, that?” He forced a sheepish smile. “I must’ve pressed it by accident.”

The maid studied him for a moment but saw nothing unusual

“All right,” she said before heading downstairs to report back.

Alex watched her leave, only allowing himself to relax once the door shut behind her.

That was close.

He couldn’t let Sarah come back and ruin the travel plans he had been so excited about.

Meanwhile, Sarah listened to the maid’s update and sighed with relief.

Everything was fine… at least for now.

It’s been two weeks since she moved out of the villa.

In that time, Sarah had gradually adjusted to the peace and quiet of her new life.

Once upon a time, it was within the walls of that house that she had finished her university studies, driven and determined to carve out a name for herself in the werewolf community.
