The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

Chapter 46

KAEL.

Would I be strong enough to protect her? Or am I driving her into more danger?

I wanted to mark her again to keep my wolf stronger than he already was. Regardless of whether it was fated or just a regular mate, the venom of an Alpha mixing with a female feeds strength to his wolf. I felt that when we rejected each other, a part of my wolf lost its strength. He was still strong, but he could be stronger.

As much as I wanted to maximize my strength to protect her, the Moonlight Ball was specifically organized for unmated Alphas and females. She might not be allowed entrance if she had a mark on her neck.

Rasmus was able to sneak in an invite for me because I finally confessed to him that Adessa and I were divorced. He asked why, but I told him I would explain when I came back.

I had no choice. Aside from the ball, sooner or later, he would still find out through the news that she was no longer my Luna, as I was sure the investigators were already digging into her life.

However, it appeared that Rasmus had not yet informed his mother, who still referred to Adessa as my wife. Or maybe, just like me, she wanted her to stay my wife.

I emerged from the bathroom, clad only in a towel. I was holding the sweatpants that I would put on, but the urge to smell Adessa won me over. So I went directly to her, the mattress dipping under my weight as I inched closer to her side. Just one kiss on her hair. I told myself.

I held the blanket covering her head and pulled it down gently, and with the lights illuminating from the bathroom, the color of it blinded me.

The person sleeping in my bed was a gingerhead.

"The fuck!" I growled, and it startled the female, making me jump back, and I fell backward on my side of the bed.

"Fuck!" I groaned. I landed on the floor with my back first, so it took time before I was able to balance myself. But before I could push myself up, a figure hovered over me from the bed, her hair cascading and caging her small face. "You're home!" A wide smile was playing on Adessa's lips. "Are you okay?"
