Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Chapter 98

Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 23

It is late by the time we return to the packhouse, just like Axton predicted. News of a possible Strigoi has caused city- wide panic. Families requesting to leave the city, and others wanting to hunt it down. But exactly how do you catch a ghost when it could be anyone, people accusing their neigh- bors, their friends, their rivals? It was utter chaos, and I could tell Axton didn’t know how to cope with this added stress.

“I need to shower,” Axton mumbles. After helping me get the boys tucked into their crib, I watch him move toward the bathroom, locking himself in, and I sigh. Yet it makes me won- der how my father is coping with the chaos in our pack. While Axton is showering, I check in with my mother, video-calling her to ensure everything is okay back home.

She took the news of Alisha’s parents and Tieriny pretty hard, as expected. “When are you coming home?”

“Tomorrow afternoon, unless you need me back there now?” I tell her, and she shakes her head. “No, it won’t change anything. I really thought they left when the others did. And Tierney…”

“I’m sorry, mom,” I tell her, chewing my lip, and I hear Luke call out to her. She looks away from the screen for a second.

“I need to go. I will see you tomorrow night. Give the boys a kiss for me.”

“Love you.” I hang up the phone just as Axton comes out with his towel around his waist. Tension rolls off him in waves as he wanders into the walk-in closet and returns a few min-

utes later with some boxer shorts on.

“Couch or bed?” Axton asks me, and my brows furrow.

“The bed, but I forgot your poncho,” I tell him, and he half

smiles.

“Damn it, we can build a pillow barrier then,” he chuckles, climbing into bed. I yawn before quickly ducking into the bathroom to change, having showered quickly before we left. Coming out, Axton is watching the news, a deep frown on his face.

“One of Osiris’s journalists accused me of being the Strigoi,” he laughs, shaking his head, and I look at the news anchor who is reporting knowing exactly whose pack she is a part of. I move toward the bed and tug the blankets back. Climbing into the bed beside him, I take the remote and shut the TV off.

“I expect to wake up with my blood still in my veins,” I tell him, and he chuckles.

“No promises,” he laughs before he tenses when I move, putting my head on his chest and arm across his waist.

“Ah….Elena? You’re voluntarily touching me?” he asks.

“Shut up. It’s the bond!”
