The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274

25 – Finn

“Deal.” That was the only instruction we received—just deal with it. And now, here I am, trapped in this place with her for an unknown stretch of time. I can’t handle this. Not right now. I need to get away.

“I’m going to go look around,” I mutter, dropping my bag hastily as I make a beeline for the door.

“Finn, wait—” she calls after me, but I don’t catch the rest. I bolt down the hallway like a frightened animal, rushing past a bewildered Kennedy, racing down the stairs, and bursting out onto the sprawling patio. My chest heaves; my lungs burn as if they refuse to draw in air. This is unbearable. Being near her is suffocating. Even the faint trace of her scent in the car was enough to shake me. Right now, I’m caught in a strange paradox—more relaxed and yet more tense than I’ve felt in weeks.

“You need to calm down. This is a good thing,” she says softly, her voice trying to soothe me.

“How can this be good?!” I snap back. “I was finally getting used to not having her around.”

“You get another chance. That’s why it’s good!” she insists.

“I don’t want it,” I say, voice low and bitter. “She doesn’t want me. I’m a rogue with nothing to offer. Just let me reject her so we can move on. The rest of our group is settled, and Ryker will have everyone packed up soon enough.”

“No!” she counters firmly. “I let you reject Amy because she wasn’t right for us or our kind. We set her wolf free to be with someone better. Greta is different—she’s a good person. She’s just scared.”

“Scared of what?” I demand, frustration bubbling over. “That’s the problem! You get to know things about her that I don’t. She won’t even talk to me. I can tell she needs help, but she’s too stubborn to ask for it.”
