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

A flicker of something unreadable passed through Arnold’s eyes. He had expected this answer, yet it still unsettled him. But he didn’t show it. Instead, he simply nodded and pulled out his phone. He dialed Sarah’s number.

She could almost feel Arnold’s presence fade the moment she answered, as if he had been waiting just to hear those words.
