Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Chapter 72

Elena POV

Seeing Axton break down, I realize what a mistake I made by keeping them from him. Fear and anger control get in the way of rational thought. I had my reasons for keeping them and my fear is warranted, but seeing him now, I can see his and that is losing them, too.

Sitting on the bed beside him, I wait for him to stop crying. I didn’t know what to make of this side of him having never seen it before. Lexa nervously paces inside my head. She is wary of what happens next.

Axton’s temperament always shifts abruptly; it is hard to know what to expect from him. And if past behavior is anything to go off. I know he will try to take them, which I won’t allow, but hopefully, we can come to some sort of agreement because I may see the error of my ways, but I know Axton doesn’t see the error in his.

My anger at what has happened in the past I can’t seem to get over; not yet at least. I have come too far to lose everything. I now have too many people relying on me to just blindly give into a bond. So for now we’ll see.

Kyan starts crying, and Axton manages to pull himself together long enough to pass him to me. His face turns toward my chest, mouth open, hunting for my breast. “You can feed him. I don’t care about you breastfeeding in front of me, I’m not a prude,” Axton says, wiping his face on the back

of his sleeve.

Bane starts crying a second later, and Axton tries to hush him. Mind-linking Michelle, I ask her to make a bottle using some of my frozen breast milk.

“Yep, will bring it up,” she tells me and I cut the link while undoing my top so I can feed Kyan. I’m very aware of Axton watching me with avid fascination.

“Can you feed both?” he asks when Bane doesn’t stop crying, also hungry.

“I can but-” the door opens and Michelle wanders in with a bottle in hand before she quickly passes it to me. “Thanks,” I tell her. She eyes Axton warily before looking at me.

“Is Lupha staying?” she asks and I try not to snicker at her words while Axton stares at her with a puzzled expression on his face, clearly wondering what she is talking about.

“I’ll let you know,” I tell her. She nods and quickly leaves, shutting the door behind her.
