Luna clung tightly to my neck, trembling with fear. Holding her securely, I crossed the road and headed

back to my car.

My driver looked utterly stunned by my actions. I slid into the car, still cradling Luna in my arms. She was so small–I could easily hold her with just one arm.

She didn’t move, only buried her face against my shoulder, sobbing uncontrollably.

I gently patted her back, unsure of what had happened to her or why she had been in the middle of the

road alone.

“Alpha, who is this child?” my driver asked hesitantly.

“Shut the hell up. Can’t you see she’s crying?” I snapped, shooting him a glare.

His eyes widened, and he quickly averted his gaze, keeping silent. He hadn’t started driving yet since I hadn’t given the order.

After a while, Luna finally lifted her head from my shoulder and looked up at me. Her eyes were swollen from crying, and her little nose was red.

I carefully placed her on the seat next to me and asked, “Where’s your mom?”

She sniffled and stammered, “I–I lost Mommy.”

“What? How?”

Her eyes welled up with tears again. I sighed and motioned for my driver to start the car as Luna began explaining what had happened to her earlier.
