THE FORGOTTEN LUNA novel Chapter 27

MIRANDA.

I couldn’t believe Kael’s revelation!

How on earth did he find Adessa? And why did Alpha Draco not call me to inform me that Adessa had escaped him?

I was not sure if Adessa knew or met Alpha Draco when she was kidnapped or if she was able to run away before she realized where she would be taken. So I had to be careful, as she might have told Kael about him. Even if I wanted to confront Alpha Draco, I knew I shouldn’t do it, as Kael might be watching him closely if Adessa dropped his name.

This was getting messier! Everything was spiraling out of my control.

If Dexter had driven with him to Bayson City instead of planning the failed car accident, then he could have known where he had taken Adessa. But he was stupid to think the car accident timing should be today.

Aah!

I was fuming mad, and even if Dexter wanted a word with me after we left Kael’s office, I pushed him away as I thought Landon would come out of the office and might realize we were talking or had gone off somewhere together.

I needed Dexter away from me as much as possible and for him to be visible wherever Kael was so he would know his every move.

I was about to head upstairs to take my anxiety medications when I heard the door to the Alpha’s office slammed. I peered through the corners and saw Desiree walking out with a scowl on her face.

I slipped inside one of the receiving rooms, and the moment she was about to pass by, I opened the door and pulled her inside once I was sure no one was following her.

“Aaah…” She let out a shriek, then shrugged her shoulders, indicating that I should release her. “Careful!”

“Why are you here?” I snapped at her, my eyes glaring at her.

She glared back at me. “And why not?”

“You’re supposed to pacify Kael and not anger him more!”

“Oh, excuse me, Miranda! Did you notice how completely enamored he was with Adessa? He wasn’t the same man I had a relationship with before, so obviously, this scheme of throwing myself at him doesn’t work anymore!”

“It’s your fault!” I pointed a finger at her temple, and she swatted it with her hand.

“Don’t you do that!” She shrieked.

“Shut up! If you’re not stupid to play around, you should be the Luna of this pack already!”

“Who said I wanted to become the Luna of this pack? I just want a good life, but if Kael…”

“Shut up!” My hand flew and landed on her cheek. The sound of my slap resonated around this small room. I raised my hand and pointed a finger at her face. “I am doing this for you! You should be thankful I’m looking after your future! So stop throwing tantrums at Kael!”

Her chest heaved as her eyes squinted. I could see tears pooling in them, but I knew my own daughter. She would never shed a tear. I made her strong this way.

“You should be the one thankful because I just saved you asses out there!” She said, gritting her teeth.

“What do you mean?” I asked, my forehead creasing.

“Kael thinks you were after Adessa, and I stopped him from interrogating you more with my tantrums. Didn’t I?” She scoffed before looking at me accusingly. “Did you do something to Adessa?”
