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

Arnold lay in bed, staring at the empty space beside him, feeling a deep discomfort.

Once upon a time, he had deliberately avoided Sarah, coming home late and waiting for her to fall asleep before he rested.

But he had never realized that her presence in the house had always given him an inexplicable sense of reassurance.

Now that she was gone, the home felt empty and lifeless.

Before Arnold could respond, his phone rang.

It was a call from the old house.

Arnold glanced at his schedule. “I’ll be late,” he said. “Sarah and the kids will get there first.”
