Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 57

I stumbled forward, my nose colliding with a hard chest. Pain shot through my face, tears instantly welling in my emerald eyes

Looking up through my blurry vision, I saw Ethan Stone’s amber eyes watching me with that unreadable expression he’d mastered over years of being Alpha.

“What are you doing here?” I asked, my words slurring from the wine Victoria had kept pushing on me. “1 thought you left with Victoria.”

Ethan’s jaw lightened visibly. “I sent her home.”

Confusion swept through me like wildfire. Why would he escort Victoria out only to come find me? Nothing

about this made sense.

“Well, good for you,” I mumbled, taking an unsteady step backward. “Now you can leave me alone too.”

The memory of Victoria’s triumphant smirk burned in my mind. Her fingers clinging to Ethan’s arm. His hand on her waist. The casual way he’d agreed to take her home.

“I’m leaving,” I announced, turning away and taking a wobbly step toward the garden exit.

Before I could get three steps, Ethan’s strong hand wrapped around my wrist, yanking me back. The sudden movement made my head spin violently, nausea rising in my throat.

“Let go!” I demanded, pushing against his broad chest with my free hand

“You’re in no condition to go anywhere alone,” he replied, his grip unyielding as iron.
