Luna on The Run I Stole the Alphas Son

Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 28

“Know what?” Noleen asks, coming up the steps and stop- ping behind me.

“That you and Michelle are on patrol after dinner at the front gate,” I chuckle, and she groans.

“Really? Can’t I go with Lacy? Michelle never shuts up! The girl could talk the leg off an iron pot!” Noleen whines and I chuckle, getting up to help with dinner.

Everyone set out on patrol after dinner while I help my mother and a few of the women clean up. Throughout dinner, I am distracted by what Sondra told me and the bond tugging frantically, craving our Axton. Even Lexa seems to be in a de- pressed mood.

My brief excitement at finally being home on my territory has dimmed quickly, but it also has me worried. Sondra is still hiding something, and we still have the issue of who the Strigoi is or are. We aren’t even sure if it is one person or a lair of them. Taking the rubbish to the bin, I toss the huge black bag in while my mother stacks the chairs back in the shed.

A few women stand around the bonfires. Their children are roasting marshmallows while they stand around and chat. Walking back to my mother, I hear my phone start ringing and stop. Pulling it from my pocket, I glance at it. I see Axton’s name pop up on the screen in a video call and I can’t help the stupid grin that splits onto my face.

My mother glances at me, and I hold up the phone. “Take it. I will finish cleaning up.” She waves me away, and I turn to head for the house.

Answering it, I walk back inside, knowing he probably wants to see the boys. “Is everything alright out there?’ He

asks as I climb the steps, heading for my room.

“Yep, the girls are running patrols, and the boys are asleep,” I tell him.

“Did you have a chance to speak to Sondra?” He asks, and I hold a finger to my lips. He nods once, and I head to my room, slip inside, trying not to let the door creak and wake the boys and close the door.
