Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 56

Ethan remained still, his amber eyes unreadable as they stared straight ahead. I had expected him to be at least slightly affected by my proximity, but he seemed completely unmoved.

“Chen,” Ethan’s voice cut through the silence, startling me. “Take Ms. Frost home.”

I froze, my hand still on his thigh. “But Ethan,” I protested, dropping the pretense of intoxication. I thought we

were going back to your place.”

“I have business to attend to,” he replied, his voice devoid of emotion

Before I could respond, he had opened the door and stepped out of the vehicle. I watched in disbelief as he

shut the door firmly behind him.

“Wait!” I called out, but he was already walking away, his powerful figure disappearing into the shadows of

the parking garage.

I sat back against the leather seat, my carefully constructed facade crumbling. Had he seen through my act?

Was he still angry about the Pack Healer’s Crystal Competition?

“Would you like me to take you home now, Ms. Frost?” Maxwell asked from the front seat, his voice professional and detached.

I swallowed my frustration and nodded. “Yes, please.”

“Where’s Victoria?” I asked bitterly. “Shouldn’t you be taking her home?”

A shadow crossed Ethan’s face. “Victoria is on her way home.”

I laughed, the sound hollow and pained. “So you’ve come to check on your other responsibility? How dutiful of you, Alpha King.”

I tried again to pull away, and this time Ethan released me. Without his support, I swayed dangerously, the garden spinning around me.

“Put me down! i protested, pushing weakly against him,
