THE FORGOTTEN LUNA novel Chapter 26

DELTA LANDON.

“Adessa is in danger.” Alpha Kael said, and I wanted to jump out of my seat.

What the fuck happened to his statement: “I can’t trust anyone at the moment?”

I wanted to laugh, but the seriousness on the Alpha’s face made me swallow my chuckle. I had no idea what he planned to do, as he didn’t tell me anything, but I guess I just had to wait and see.

“What do you mean Adessa is in danger?” Dexter asked. “Where is she?”

“I thought she left.” Desiree butted in, her arms crossed against her chest. “Did she accidentally trip on her own feet and land face down on the ground full of shattered glass so she looks so awful that she became a danger to herself?”

“Enough, Desire…” Miranda cut her off, and Desiree just rolled her eyes before letting out a huff.

Miranda then turned her attention to the Alpha. “Where is she? And why is she in danger?” She sounded so concerned that I wanted to laugh again.

If anyone here didn’t like Luna Adessa, Miranda would be the first on the line.

“At the moment, she’s safe. I put her in a secure place until I can figure out why someone is trying to hurt her.” Kael answered her.

“You mean to say you know where she is?” Miranda repeated. “Right?”

Alpha Kael nodded before leaning forward, resting his clasped hands on his desk. “She’s safe at the moment, but I don’t know for how long. I have to find out who’s trying to hurt her.”

“Hmmm…” Dexter mummed, and all eyes went to him. “Don’t you think it’s much safer for her if she’s here in the pack? We can all protect her rather than have her somewhere where no one is around her.”

“No. I’m not moving her from where she is. It’s more dangerous.” Kael answered.

“How did you find her?” Dexter asked again. “Did you meet her today?”

“I don’t need to explain that further. What is important is that she’s safe. I called you here so we could discuss more important details.” Kael eased back on his chair, one hand remaining on his desk. He grabbed a pen and began playing with it as his eyes roamed around his office. “Since I don’t have any memories of the last two years, I want the names of people I clashed with and any potential enemies that want to hurt her. A list of people who disrespected her, whether pack members or from another pack.”

“I’m sure… I’m sure there’s a lot. Adessa has never had a good relationship with anyone in this pack. So everyone can be a suspect.” Miranda immediately spoke.

“Is that true?” Kael asked, his forehead creasing as he stared at his stepmother.

Miranda nodded her head a little too quickly in response.

“That means even you can be a suspect, right?” He pointed the pen in her direction. “You never seem to like my ex-wife.”

“What?” Miranda gasped, hands clutching her chest as her face showed disbelief.

“Ex-wife! Ex-wife!” Desiree burst into a sarcastic laughter as she rose from her seat, and all eyes went to her.

I knew another emotional speech would come out, and it would always melt Kael’s heart. This pattern had been consistent throughout their years together. Emotional blackmail, I would say, and Kael would always fall for it.

“Desiree…” Kael said, and I was right. I could see guilt in his expression.
