Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

The Alpha King is unavailable 305

Chapter 305

Alpha King Ethan Stone stood frozen, his powerful frrigid with shock. His amber eyes widened as his wolf

surged beneath his

skin, fighting to break free.

"How could it be Victoria?" he demanded, his voice a low growl that made the medical equipment tremble.

The disbelief in his tone was palpable. Even now, faced with Sarah's confession, he couldn't reconcile this

revelation with the

woman he'd protected for so long.

"Victoria was with Emma," he continued, his voice strained. "She couldn't have done this."

| watched him struggle, his wolf clearly distressed beneath his skin. The mighty Alpha King, always so certain,

now looked lost.

Sarah Barnes pressed herself against the wall, her human instincts clearly screaming danger. Ethan's eyes had

begun to glow

with that eerie amber light that signaled his wolf was close to breaking through.

"I swear it's true," Sarah whimpered, sliding further away from Ethan. "She paidto hurt Mrs. Winters."

Beads of sweat formed on Sarah's forehead as she trembled before the Alpha's rage. Her gaze darted between

us before settling

on me.

“Luna Winters,” she pleaded, using my formal title despite my estrangement from Ethan. "I'll tell you anything

you want to know, just please letgo.

Her use of my title felt like mockery after everything I'd endured. My wolf snarled beneath my skin, urgingto

make her pay

for what she'd done to my mother.

"Believe me, | never wanted to hurt your mother," Sarah continued, her voice quivering. "That she-wolf Victoria

offeredtoo

much money, and | was momentarily blinded by greed."

She wrung her hands tically, tears streaming down her face. The performance might have been convincing

if I hadn't seen the video of her calmly watching my mother struggle to breathe.

"I have elderly parents and young children who needto support them," she sobbed, her voice rising with

desperation. "If something happens to me, my family will be ruined!"

Her eyes sought mine, pleading for sympathy. The audacity made my wolf snap her jaws in fury.

"You're so kind, you wouldn't have the heart to let my family fall apart, right?" she begged. "And your mother

isn't dead-she's just in a healing coma. She could still wake up with her wolf's help!"

| stared at her with cold emerald eyes, my wolf's rage barely contained beneath my skin. The woman who had

nearly killed my mother now appealed to my kindness?

"Kind?" | repeated, the word like ice on my tongue. "You think I'm kind after what you've done?"

The temperature in the room seemed to drop further as my anger intensified. My hands clenched into fists at my

sides, nails digging into my palms.

"What did Victoria Frost ask you to do?" | finally asked, my voice as frigid as a winter moon.

Sarah mistook my controlled demeanor for leniency. Her shoulders relaxed slightly as she began to confess,

words tumbling out in a desperate rush.

"The day before yesterday, Victoria foundand gaveten thousand dollars to spread rumors around the

medical den," she explained, gaining confidence. "She wantedto tell everyone that Luna Winters was a

rogue she-wolf who had used moon herbs to drug the Alpha and force him to break his mate bond with his true

intended."

| felt Ethan stiffen beside me, his wolf growling softly. His scent shifted, hints of confusion and betrayal mixing

with his natural pine and amber.

"I knew the gossip-mongering wolves in the recovery ward gathered to chat during morning rounds," Sarah

continued, her voice steadier now. "So Victoria askedto take your mother there yesterday morning, then find

an excuse to leave, abandoning her among them.”

Both Ethan and | instantly understood what had happened next. Ethan's face hardened like granite, his jaw

clenching so tight | could hear his teeth grind.

"So that's why my mother fell," | whispered, the pieces coming together. "You deliberately left her among hostile

wolves who attacked her."

The memory of Victoria's words that day flashed through my mind-how she had acted innocent, claiming my

mother had suddenly collapsed and fallen down the stairs, and she hadn't been able to catch her.

"Victoria made it seem like she was trying to help,” Ethan murmured, his voice thick with dawning realization.

"Today, she promisedfifty thousand dollars to find an opportunity to disconnect your mother's oxygen tube,"

Sarah continued, her voice taking on a self-righteous tone that made my blood boil. "Under her enticement, | did

it." She lifted her chin slightly, as if confessing absolved her of guilt. "It wasn't my intention. Victoria orchestrated

everything; it really has nothing to do with me." The more Sarah spoke, the more justified she seemed to feel.

Her eyes darted between us, gauging our reactions.

"I was just doing my job until she approachedwith all that money," she added, her tone almost accusatory.

"What would you have done?"

| bit back a snarl. What | would have done was rip Victoria's throat out for even suggesting such a thing.

"You chose money over an innocent life," | said, my voice dangerously soft. "You watched my mother struggle to

breathe and did nothing."

Sarah glanced down at her wrist, which | had gripped tightly enough to fracture. In her mind, she had already

been punished by

losing her position and suffering a minor injury.

"I've already suffered for my mistake," she said, gesturing to her wrist. "I'll lose my job, and my reputation will be

ruined."

Ethan listened intently, the temperature around him dropping noticeably as his Alpha aura intensified. Sarah

shrank back,

feeling the silent pressure he exerted.

"Why would Victoria do such a thing?" he questioned, his voice deceptively calm. "Evelyn Winters has no

grievances with her."

| could see the struggle in his eyes. Deep within, his wolf whined in confusion, still unable to associate the word

"vicious" with

the woman he had protected for so long.

"Victoria wouldn't..." he started, then stopped, uncertainty clouding his features.

Sarah was stumped by the question. Her human mind couldn't comprehend the complex dynamics between

werewolves of our

rank.

"I-I don't know," she stammered, shrinking further against the wall. "She just paidto do it. She didn't explain

why."

"Was there anything specific Victoria wanted to prevent?" Ethan pressed, his Alpha voice making Sarah tremble.

"Did she mention anything about what Evelyn might know?"

Sarah shook her head frantically. "No! She just said the old woman needed to be silenced before she could talk

to her daughter.”

| stood aside with my arms crossed protectively over my chest, watching as the Alpha still made excuses for

Victoria even after the truth was revealed.

"You still don't want to believe it, do you?" | asked Ethan, my voice laced with bitterness. "Even with the evidence

right in front of you."

A cold, bitter laugh escaped my lips, drawing both Ethan's and Sarah's attention. The sound held years of pain,

betrayal, and rage that had festered beneath the

surface.

"Why?" | asked, feeling my emerald eyes flash with the feral light of my wolf. “Because she is not Little Orange at

alll"

The words hung in the air between us, heavy with implications that Ethan had yet

to fully grasp. His amber eyes widened, confusion evident in their depths.

"What are you talking about?" he demanded, his voice rough with emotion.
