Luna Aurora novel (Alpha Fenrir) novel Chapter 70

“What do you want?” she asked, her voice sharper than she intended.

Anica raised their hands in mock surrender. “Easy, Luna. I’m here to help, remember?”

Aurora hesitated, then sighed. “I don’t know what to think anymore. One minute I’m just trying to survive, and the next I’m supposed to be some… chosen wolf tied to an ancient prophecy.”

Anica stepped closer, their tone softening. “It’s a lot to take in. But you’re stronger than you realize, Aurora. I can see it.”

Their words sent a flicker of warmth through her, but she quickly pushed it aside. “I don’t need your reassurances, Anica. What I need is a solution.”

Anica smiled faintly, their golden eyes holding hers. “Then let me help you find one.”

Cassian watched the exchange from a distance, his jaw tightening as he saw Aurora talking to Anica. He couldn’t hear their words, but the easy way Anica leaned toward her, the faint smile on their lips, sent a sharp pang of irritation through him.

“Something bothering you, Alpha?” Nathan asked as he approached.

Cassian’s gaze didn’t waver. “I don’t trust them.”

Nathan glanced toward Aurora and Anica, then back at Cassian. “You think they’re lying?”

“I think they’re too comfortable,” Cassian replied, his tone clipped. “And they’re getting too close to her.”
