Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 22

“You left!” Axton yells at me.

“Because you gave me no choice, you’re why I left, maybe I shouldn’t have run the first time, I own that, I admit that was a mistake. Fuck do I know that was a mistake, I lost every- thing, lost my best friend, lost myself, and when you found us, I would have begged to be by your side and instead, you re- jected me. Even then in my fucked up head I thought we would work it out, but… you know what? I’m not doing this. You fucked up, I fucked up, but at least I own my mistakes.”

“You aren’t the only one that lost everything! I lost my

sons!”

“Did you, though? I still sent pictures, and I let you know they were okay. I didn’t have to do that. I could have disap- peared for good, but I didn’t… You’re just angry because once I came back, you realized I wasn’t going to be your bitch any- more, that I won’t be walked over, you realized I didn’t need you, or a pack, anyone. You didn’t lose anything. I’m here now, and so are your sons; I didn’t have to bring them this week- end. I chose to! So before you start making fucking demands, Axton, maybe start meeting some of mine!”

Axton scoffs. “I haven’t demanded anything of you…”

“Really, you demanded to mark me, then demanded I not reject you again, demanded to see your sons. I kept my promises, but you, every time I ask for something in return, it’s no! Or you threaten my pack or threaten to take the boys. When have I threatened your life?” He goes to open his mouth, but I hold up a hand, knowing exactly what he’s going to say.

“Your reputation isn’t your life; that’s ego. You destroyed my reputation when you leaked that video, a video that al- most cost me my life and our sons. So those photos wouldn’t have physically hurt you, not that I would have leaked them anyway, not when that would hurt our sons in the end any- way. So tell me, Axton, when have I done the things you’ve done to me to you?”

“I’ve never threatened your life, not intentionally.”
