The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163

“What’s the plan, Bossman?” Bennet asked, his curiosity evident as he glanced over at me.

“The Luna insisted on riding in the back of my truck,” I explained, “so there’s no chance of wolfsbane contaminating the other vehicles. Josh will bring a car for Emily’s family to follow behind us. Those two want to keep everyone at a distance to avoid anyone else getting sick.”

Bennet raised an eyebrow. “When did she tell you that?”

“She didn’t need to,” I replied. “It’s the same reason she refused to let anyone else go down the ravine. She doesn’t seem immune, judging by how she looks, but it would’ve been far worse for anyone else to go down there. Honestly, if the roles were reversed, I’d do the same.”

We gathered the vehicles, and I asked Robin to load the truck bed with extra blankets to make sure the ride was as comfortable as possible. The journey would take longer than usual since I planned to drive slower than I ever had before. This cargo was too precious to risk.

Watching Kennedy gently hold the little girl stirred every fluttering feeling I’d ever known deep within my chest. Today had been an emotional whirlwind, and I wasn’t sure the ride was over yet. I wanted so badly to tell Kennedy how I felt—how I had felt for a long time—but even the thought of it made my stomach twist in knots.

Doc Bradshaw was well aware of how anxious Kennedy’s parents and I were about our girls. She efficiently handled the decontamination process they had to go through. I was told it was quick, but they were gone for over an hour. One of the nurses mentioned that depending on the level of exposure and the individual, it sometimes took days to fully purge wolfsbane from the system.

I silently hoped Emily hadn’t absorbed too much of the poison while trapped among the crushed, oozing plants.

When they finally allowed us back into the room, both girls were curled up together on a hospital bed, their eyes closed in peaceful rest.
