Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 305

Chapter 305

Alpha King Ethan Stone stood frozen, his powerful frame rigid 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.”

I 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 paid me to 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 let me go.

Her use of my title felt like mockery after everything I’d endured. My wolf snarled beneath my skin, urging me to make her pay

for what she’d done to my mother.

“Believe me, I never wanted to hurt your mother,” Sarah continued, her voice quivering. “That she–wolf Victoria offered me too

much money, and I was momentarily blinded by greed.”

She wrung her hands dramatically, 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 need me to 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!”

I 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?” I 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?” I 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 found me and gave me ten thousand dollars to spread rumors around the medical den,” she explained, gaining confidence. “She wanted me to 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.”

I 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 asked me to take your mother there yesterday morning, then find an excuse to leave, abandoning her among them.”

Both Ethan and I instantly understood what had happened next. Ethan’s face hardened like granite, his jaw clenching so tight I could hear his teeth grind.

“So that’s why my mother fell,” I 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 promised me fifty 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, I 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 approached me with all that money,” she added, her tone almost accusatory. “What would you have done?”

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

“You chose money over an innocent life,” I said, my voice dangerously soft. “You watched my mother struggle to breathe and did nothing.”

Sarah glanced down at her wrist, which I 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.”

I 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 paid me to 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.”

I 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?” I 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?” I asked, feeling my emerald eyes flash with the feral light of my wolf. “Because she is not Little Orange at all!”

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.
