Alpha's Regret: False Mate, True Luna novel Chapter 206

That night, I went to my room.

Exhausted, but when I closed my eyes, his face popped up–the way he’d look leaving.

That stare… only once before, on our wedding night.

Then, he’d been cold, angry, pent–up, but flickered when he saw me cry.

Tonight, same look.

I rolled over, tried to sleep.

But unease gnawed, kept me up.

Elsewhere, Ferris stayed at a fancy hotel nearby, staring down at the streets, face stone–cold.

Adrian thought Silver Moon Pack was Ferris’s turf, but there, Ferris held back

Here? No rules.

After Adrian’s accident, Black Mountain Pack rushed him out, buried the news.

I didn’t know about the crash. Next morning, I had the door fixed.

Planned to stay, work on my new drug research.

Once Ferris gave up, I’d rejoin Linus.

I showered, changed, headed out to shop.

Opened the door. There he was–Ferris, across the street, leaning against a black Maybach, cigarette in hand.

Sunlight ruffled his hair. Looked like he hadn’t slept.

He saw me, stubbed out the cigarette, crushed it deep in a trash can–like he feared the smoke might taint me.

I pretended not to notice, turned the other way.

He chased after me, steps quick, almost panicky.

“I-”

I stopped, turned, calm as can be.

“If yesterday wasn’t clear enough.” I said. “I don’t want you. Ferris, please. Lets end this right.”

He froze.

A shadow crossed his eyes, like cold water dumped on him.

“You know I haven’t slept a wink since you left?” His voice went hoarse.

I scoffed. “Can’t sleep? See a doctor.”

Three years of marriage, I’d lost more sleep than him.

Ferris’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He suddenly pulled me into a hug–too fast to dodge.

His smell–smoke, faint made my stomach turn.

I gritted my teeth, stayed steady, shot back. “You read my letter, right?”

He tensed.
