The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

Chapter 27

MIRANDA.

I couldn't believe Kael's revelation!

How on earth did he find Adessa? And why did Alpha Draco not call me to inform me that Adessa had escaped him?

I was not sure if Adessa knew or met Alpha Draco when she was kidnapped or if she was able to run away before she realized where she would be taken. So I had to be careful, as she might have told Kael about him. Even if I wanted to confront Alpha Draco, I knew I shouldn't do it, as Kael might be watching him closely if Adessa dropped his name.

This was getting messier! Everything was spiraling out of my control.

If Dexter had driven with him to Bayson City instead of planning the failed car accident, then he could have known where he had taken Adessa. But he was stupid to think the car accident timing should be today.

Aah!

I was fuming mad, and even if Dexter wanted a word with me after we left Kael's office, I pushed him away as I thought Landon would come out of the office and might realize we were talking or had gone off somewhere together.

I needed Dexter away from me as much as possible and for him to be visible wherever Kael was so he would know his every move.

I was about to head upstairs to take my anxiety medications when I heard the door to the Alpha's office slammed. I peered through the corners and saw Desiree walking out with a scowl on her face.

I slipped inside one of the receiving rooms, and the moment she was about to pass by, I opened the door and pulled her inside once I was sure no one was following her.

"Aaah..." She let out a shriek, then shrugged her shoulders, indicating that I should release her. "Careful!"

"Why are you here?" I snapped at her, my eyes glaring at her.

She glared back at me. "And why not?"
