Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

Chapter 65

The Alpha King is unavailable 65

The force of Ethan's grip sent pain shooting through my arm as he dragged me

into his private residence. My feet barely touched the ground as we burst through the door, his movements

fueled by a desperation | rarely

saw in the Alpha King.

"Please, | beg you! Let my daughter go!" Victoria's frantic voice reached us before | could even take in the

scene.

My eyes adjusted to find Victoria on her knees in the center of the living room, her perfect hair disheveled,

mascara streaking down her pale cheeks. A few feet away stood a man I'd never seen before, his face

contorted with rage as he held a silver-edged hunting knife to Emma's throat.

"Don't hurt her, | beg you," Victoria sobbed, her hands clasped in front of her as if in prayer.

Emma's small body trembled, her eyes wide with terror as the knife pressed against her skin. The scent of fear

permeated the room, so thick I could almost taste it.

"Now you know to beg?" the man snarled, his grip tightening on Emma's shoulder. "A woman like you who

likes to cheat deserves to die!!"

His words struckas oddly specific. | studied his face unfamiliar, yet somehow his timing was too perfect. He'd

appeared just after | had told Ethan about Victoria's cheating in the competition.

Victoria pressed her forehead to the floor, kowtowing repeatedly in desperation. "Takeinstead! Please, she's

just a child!"

Each ther head hit the floor, a small smear of blood appeared on the polished wood. The display was pitiful

enough to soften even the hardest heart.

But something wasn't right.

In the brief moments when Victoria looked up, | caught a strange expression in her eyes as they met the

attacker's. Something passed between them-a silent communication that didn't match the desperate scene

playing out before us. My suspicion grew, a cold certainty settling in my stomach. Was this entire situation

orchestrated? Another of Victoria's performances designed to cement Ethan's devotion?

"You b***h's daughter will also be a scourge in the future," the man yelled, his voice carrying an artificial quality

that only | seemed to notice. "You all deserve to die!"

Ethan released my arm suddenly, shovingaside as he lunged forward. His powerful presence filled the room,

the Alpha's protective fury radiating from him in waves.

"Let her go!" he roared, his voice carrying the full weight of his Alpha command. The attackers eyes widened in

Victoria screamed, pushing her daughter aside with surprising speed. The knife caught Emma's arm as she

fell, drawing a bright line of blood across her pale skin.

"Don't!" Victoria cried, rushing to her daughter's side.

Emma's wail pierced the air, her small body curling in on itself as she clutched her bleeding arm. "Ah...it hurts,

Mommy, Emmy hurts so much..."

| watched from where I'd fallen, my back against the wall. The cut didn't look deep-a graze rather than a stab -

yet Emma's cries suggested a mortal wound.
