The Heartless Alpha's Beloved Luna Novel

---- Chapter 109 "Are things not going well with the new husband?" She asked curiously. | sighed inwardly and braced myself to answer her curious questions. "Not really. We had a... disagreement." Sofia nodded in understanding. "Men are so much work, | find | don't have time for them often, myself." "Please." | pleaded, "I just need to talk to my mother and then we can get going." Sofia stirred her tea with a spoon slowly, "Well, my dear, | would love to help, but you see, your mother isn't here." | gaped at her, "What do you mean?

She left immediately following the wedding." "I'm sure she did, as she did stop by here briefly. Then she received a message and packed and left. She said she had been summoned back to Silvermoon, and that it had something to do with you. | assumed you were the one who called her?" My heart was racing, "! was not." "Oh," Sofia frowned, "Oh dear. Well, that does complicate things." ---- | rose from the table in haste. "Thank you for the tea, but if my mother has gone back to Silvermoon Pack, | need to go find her." "Of course, of course." Sofia smiled and walked me to the door.

As | stepped through, | turned to ask her one more question. "Did you see who brought her the message?" "Oh, there's not much that goes on around here that | don't see!" Sofia laughed. "It was a young woman, maybe a little younger than you. In fact, you look a bit alike, now that | think about it." Zara. It had to be. | thanked Sofia and climbed back into the SUV. For a moment, | sat, thinking. If Zara had collected my mother, then | had to go find her immediately. It had become clear that my mother was no longer safe in Zara's hands.

| was surprised she had gone with her, but | was well acquainted with Zara's ability to lie about anything. Knowing my mother, she only had to say that she was taking her to me, that | needed her, and my mother would have gone Cursing into the night, | tore out of the driveway and turned my headlights towards the road that ran into Silvermoon territory. As the trees whipped by, | just hoped that | wasn't too late to catch them, but | passed no other vehicles on the road. Nor any ---- cars coming from Nightwolf. | guess Gideon wasn't interested in bringing me back.

' | parked in the darkness outside the Silvermoon pack house. Nostalgia reminded me of the other times Ryan and | had come here after hours to hang out. Those times were gone now. | pushed open the large wooden door and looked around the empty foyer. There was a light on in a room at the far end of the pack offices. | headed that way on instinct. When | looked inside the room, | saw Zara, sitting ina tall- backed chair in front of a fire. She turned with a wide smile as | stepped inside.

"Hello, sister," She said with a sneer, "So nice of you to join us." "'m here for my mother." | said angrily, "You had no right to take her." "oh silly, Avery. Always going on about what's allowed." Zara laughed with a shake of her head, "When will you learn?" | paused, warily. "Learn what?" "That we make the rules now." Zara made a motion with her hand and | heard the door close behind me. When | turned, | saw the one-eyed man from my dream standing in front of the closed door. ---- He saw me staring at him and smiled a handsome smile that somehow had no kindness in it. "Hello Avery.

So nice to meet you in person."
