Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 164

Maxwell remained silent, knowing better than to interrupt my thoughts.

I walked toward the carousel, running my hand along the painted wooden horses. “I’ll make it

up to her. I’ll be the father she deserves.”

In my mind, I could see it clearly–Lily’s face lighting up as I lifted her onto my shoulders, her delighted laughter as we rode the carousel together, her small hand clutching mine as we

watched the spectacular light show I had arranged.

“She’ll forgive me,” I said with conviction. “Children are resilient. Once she sees how much effort I’ve put into this, she’ll understand that I truly care.”

Maxwell nodded, though something in his expression gave me pause. “I’m sure she will, Alpha King.”

I turned away, unwilling to acknowledge the doubt in his eyes. This grand gesture would work.

It had to. I couldn’t bear the alternative–that I had lost my daughter’s love forever through my own neglect.

“Make sure the light show is perfect,” I instructed. “It’s the centerpiece of the entire fair.”

“Of course, Alpha King. The technicians have been rehearsing for weeks.”

I checked my watch, impatient for evening to fall. Soon, very soon, Lily would see what I had created for her. And then, perhaps, she would call me “Dad” again with love instead of disappointment.

The weight of my failure as a father pressed down on me, but I squared my shoulders against it. I would make this right. I had to.

“She’ll come,” I said firmly. “Once she sees this, she’ll come.”

Maxwell’s silence spoke volumes, but I chose to ignore it. I had to believe that it wasn’t too late to be the father Lily needed me to be.

To ensure Lily would see my message, I had rented every digital billboard and advertising space in Shadow Creek. A video montage played continuously across the city–Lily’s drawings animated to life, interspersed with images of me at the fair, waiting for her.

“Your father loves Lily too!” the message proclaimed in bold letters. “I’m sorry I wasn’t there

before. Please give me another chance.”

Standing before one of the massive screens in the city center, I watched the message play, hoping it would reach my daughter’s eyes.

“Do you think she’ll see it?” Maxwell asked quietly.

“She has to,” I replied, my voice tight with emotion. “I’ve made sure it’s impossible to miss.”

I pulled out my phone and blocked all incoming calls except for Olivia’s number and any

unknown numbers that might be Lily calling from a friend’s phone.

“She’ll call,” I said with forced confidence. “When she sees how much effort I’ve put into this,

she’ll want to see me.”

Hours passed as I waited at the fair, my phone clutched in my hand. The sun began to set,

casting long shadows across the empty rides and game booths. Still, my phone remained

silent.

Frustration built within me. Why hadn’t Lily called? The message was everywhere–she must have seen it by now.

“Perhaps Ms. Winters is preventing her from contacting you,” Maxwell suggested hesitantly.

“Call Ms. Winters,” I ordered Maxwell. “Tell her I demand to speak with Lily immediately.”
