Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 165

I stood at the entrance of Moonlight Fair, my eyes scanning every approaching vehicle. The pendant I’d purchased for Lily weighed in my pocket–a small token compared to the amusement park I’d built for her, but I hoped she would appreciate the personal touch.

“Any sign of them yet?” I asked Maxwell, who stood dutifully beside me.

“Not yet, Alpha King,” he replied, checking his tablet. “But Ms. Winters confirmed they’re on their way.”

I nodded, trying to calm my racing heart. After months of separation, I would finally see my daughter again. The ceramic coffee mug she had made–with its childish drawings and “I DAD!” inscription–had shattered something inside me when I discovered it among Olivia’s

things. How had I missed the depth of my daughter’s love?

“She’ll forgive me,” I murmured, more to reassure myself than anything. “Children are resilient.”

Maxwell remained silent, his expression carefully neutral. I checked my phone again, refreshing the screen though I knew it would ring if Olivia called.

“Alpha King, I believe that’s Ms. Winters‘ car approaching now,” Maxwell said, pointing to a

familiar vehicle turning into the parking area.

My heart leaped. I straightened my jacket and ran a hand through my hair, suddenly

concerned with my appearance. Would Lily recognize me? Would she be happy to see me?

reached for the back door handle, calling out with uncharacteristic tenderness.

to fury in an instant. I slammed the door shut with enough force to dent the frame, the metal

groaning under my strength.

“Where is she?” I demanded, rounding on Olivia as she emerged from the driver’s side. “Where is our daughter?”

Olivia’s face remained impassive, her emerald eyes cold as winter frost. “Ethan Stone, you

can’t even handle one instance of this? Have you ever considered how many times you’ve

disappointed Lily in the past five years?”

Her words struck me like a physical blow. I took a step back, momentarily stunned by the

accusation.

“What are you talking about?” I growled, fighting to maintain control of my temper. “I built this

entire amusement park for her! I’ve been trying to make amends!”

“No, not enough,” she insisted. “You wanted to see Lily? Then you need to understand what

you did to her.”

She stepped in front of me, forcing me to look at her. “She would save her treats from the training den for you. Did you know that? The other pups would eat their venison jerky and

moonberry cookies right away, but not Lily. She always saved half, wrapped it carefully in a napkin, and put it in her backpack.”

“For me?” I asked, my voice barely audible.

“For you,” Olivia confirmed. “She’d say, ‘Daddy works so hard, he must get hungry. And she’d

wait to give them to you, but you never came home in time to receive them.”

Each revelation was like another nail in my coffin of guilt. I had no defense, no justification for

my neglect.

“And her birthday,” Olivia continued, her voice trembling with emotion. “Do you remember what
