The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 181

Chapter 181

95 – Kennedy

A sudden tension grips me, and my breath catches in my throat. Time seems to freeze as I lock eyes with this older version of Ryker. His gaze is a deeper, darker shade, yet every bit as intense as I remember. If he weren’t holding me up so firmly, I’m certain I would have crumpled to the floor by now.

“What?” I whisper, barely audible. Ryker tightens his embrace, and I clutch his forearms as if my very survival depends on it. I’m probably leaving marks on his skin, but only a small part of my mind registers that fact—it feels insignificant compared to everything else swirling inside me.

He looks at me with a mixture of sympathy and concern before asking again, “What do you remember from that night? I need to know where to begin my story.”

My lungs struggle to draw in air, but it feels like I’m suffocating. I can’t tear my eyes away from those familiar, piercing eyes—so much like my mate’s. He knows what happened. He might even understand why. He knows me, yet I have never met him before in my entire life.

Suddenly, I feel his hands gently cup my face. I try to blink, but my whole body feels sluggish and clouded. Then warmth spreads from his lips across my skin, igniting a fire that rushes through me. I take a deep breath, and finally, my eyes sharpen into focus.

“Hey. Stay with me, okay?” Ryker mindlinks softly. “Maybe he can help fill in some of the blanks.”
