THE FORGOTTEN LUNA novel Chapter 54

KAEL.

The moment Brooke entered the shop, I knew she was trouble. I had no idea if she was among the ones sent by Draco to find us, but I wasn’t taking chances.

She belonged to his pack and was part of his Delta’s Shield—the top security squad of a pack.

Brooke also attended the Alpha Academy as she belonged to an affluent family. I was sure Draco had been ignoring her existence until she hooked up with me, and the next thing I knew, he was fucking her too.

So, I cut off all ties with her, and he eventually moved on from her as well. It only went to show that Draco had an obsession with taking females from my arms—whether I was serious with them or not.

I knew this was the reason he was after Adessa.

I discreetly removed my ring, not wanting Brooke to associate me with my wife in case she was sent to track us.

Like I believed it would happen, she showed interest in me, whether ordered by Draco or she was simply flirting.

I heard the door to the restroom open, and my heart stopped. I didn’t want Adessa to approach me.

She didn’t, but I saw her expression whenever I glanced at her when Brooke wasn’t looking. She was upset. As much as I wanted to think she was jealous, I couldn’t focus on it. I had more things to think of at the moment.

I paid attention to the surroundings, wanting to check if Brooke was alone.

And then Adessa left the shop. I almost grabbed her back, but I was able to restrain myself.

Brooke kept talking to me. I had no idea how I managed to converse with her, pay for the chips that I grabbed along the way, and simultaneously check on Adessa.

As soon as she was seated inside, I locked the car door using my keys and prayed to the Goddess that no one came for her. I was ready to bolt out if I saw movement anywhere near her, but everything was quiet outside.

However, I already knew the moment I left the shop and walked to the car that there were eyes watching me.

My hunch was confirmed when I saw Brooke get inside a car. Once her car door was opened, the light turned on, giving me a glimpse of two men inside. I saw them nodding their heads as if they were a confirmation of something.

So I knew we needed to get away.

I drove fast, but they also sped up.

I was sure these men had weapons, but I would bet that Draco wanted Adessa alive and not dead. Draco never cared about anyone, not even his brother. I didn’t think he was affected by his death. He was only using him as an excuse to terrify Adessa and to show superiority over me.

I hope I was right that he wanted her alive. So, as long as they couldn’t point the gun at her to threaten her, we were still at an advantage. I only had to make sure they couldn’t come close to us.

The view of the city blurred as I swiveled through the traffic, trying to distance my car from the two black vehicles tailing us.

Loud honks and tires screeching against the asphalt filled the air as I swerved on the lines, nearly cutting off a van. It almost landed on the dike if the driver was not able to control his car.

“Fuck!” I growled.

This chase had to end.

Soon, I would not be able to outrun them without harming innocent people.
