The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174

I gently tug her hand down, a smile playing on my lips. “Don’t worry, I won’t spill a thing. His masculinity is safe with me.”

“Whose masculinity?” Sarah asked, entering the room while jotting something in her notebook. She glanced back and forth between Cindy and me, her curiosity piqued.

I motioned for Cindy to fill her in, intrigued by what she meant.

“Well,” Cindy began hesitantly, “the alpha was kind of adorable this morning. He told me to take good care of the Luna and make sure she stays healthy enough to carry all the pups he gave her last night.”

“Oh! Thank the Goddess! It’s about time! I thought he was going to be a pansy forever,” Sarah exclaimed, relief evident in her voice.

I couldn’t help but laugh, mostly at how these two spoke about Ryker as if he were a mischievous child rather than the powerful alpha he truly was. It also helped me mask the awkwardness of the fact that my intimate life felt like an open topic for discussion.

“Where is he, anyway?” I asked, eager to shift the conversation and suppress the whirlwind of anxious thoughts threatening to consume me when I was alone. Last night, I hadn’t even considered protection. Shifters can only get pregnant during heat, so he probably wasn’t serious and was just joking. But that thought stirred a flood of emotions. Why joke about something so important? Out loud… with others… No, I’d talk to him later. For now, I needed to focus on what Sarah was up to. She never showed up without a purpose, and that massive notebook of hers was never just for show.

“The boys have some work to do,” she explained, glancing at me with a knowing look. “They’re out with Ryker’s dad, checking on two new buildings that should have been finished by now, but the projects have stalled.”

“Who stalled them? And why didn’t he take me along?” I asked, suspicion creeping into my voice.

Sarah gave me a pointed look, like a teacher quizzing a student who had to piece together various lessons. “I think you can answer both those questions.”
