Crippled Luna's Farewell Half A Life Without My Alpha's Deadly Deception novel Chapter 29

Chapter 29 

Alex froze. 

“So, Mom’s going with us to Great–Grandmother’s house?” 

“Hmm,” Arnold replied. 

At this, Alex instinctively frowned, but he didn’t say anything right away. 

Mom hadn’t contacted him in over half a month, which was unusual. 

He had been playing almost every day during her absence, enjoying the most carefree time of his life. 

Arnold was busy with work and didn’t have time to monitor him closely. 

Sarah had a job too, but no matter how busy she was, she always made time to check on his studies and daily life. 

Now that Sarah wasn’t around, he realized he missed her a little–but just a little. 

Because when Mom came back from a business trip, Auntie Linda wouldn’t be able to take him to school or play with him every day. 

As a young wolf, his nature made him gravitate toward lively and fun caregivers like Auntie Linda. In contrast, his mother, Sarah, could be too serious and strict. 

He enjoyed spending time with Linda more than with Sarah. 

Aunt Linda gave him lots of candy, didn’t force him to drink bitter soup, and never insisted he attend class. 

Instead, she accompanied him to run in the forest or chase hares in the grasslands. 

And days like that always ended when Mom came back. 

So Alex secretly hoped his mother would stay away just a little longer. 

But he hadn’t expected her to return so soon. 

Now that Mom was back, she would probably pick him up at the training ground tomorrow, and Auntie Linda wouldn’t be able to accompany him anymore. 

But… tomorrow night was also the night of the Moonlit Speed Race! 

It was a major event in the wolf world, where competitors raced through challenging forest or mountain tracks. 

Thick woods, rushing rivers, and steep cliffs would test their speed and strength, and the winner would earn the title of “Silver Moon Gale” along with many prizes. 

He knew Auntie Linda was one of the contestants and had even given him tickets to the event. 

If his mother found out, she definitely wouldn’t let him go to Linda’s race. 

The thought soured Alex’s mood.

What should he do now? 

Lost in thought, Alex threw his silver fork onto the plate with a clattering sound. 

Arnold looked at him with a frown. “Don’t make such rude noises during dinner. What’s wrong with you, Alex?” 

Alex squirmed in his seat but didn’t ask his father to convince his stubborn mother to let him go. 

Perhaps out of jealousy or something. Mom seemed to dislike Aunt Linda, who was prettier and more capable than she was. 

She might even get into a fight with Dad if he tried to convince her otherwise. 

It was so annoying! 

Alex lost his appetite for breakfast. 

He needed to think of a way to get Mom to agree to let him attend the race tomorrow and cheer for Aunt Linda. 

Maybe…. he could try being nice to her and persuade her that way? 

In the evening, Sarah drove to Lancelot Manor,
