The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 285

Chapter 285

32 – Greta

A sudden burst of sunlight floods my face, making me squint sharply. I try to move, but my body feels frozen in place. What’s happening? Slowly, my eyelids flutter open, and I take in the cozy bedroom around me. It doesn’t take long to figure out why I’m trapped in this awkward position. I’m tangled in what can only be described as a human pretzel involving four people. Gabriel’s head is resting gently on my stomach, his backside pointed toward Finn, who still holds my right hand in his own, his hand resting lightly on his chest.

I tilt my head a bit more and notice Trinity woven snugly between my legs. Her head lies softly on my left thigh, yet she’s tucked beneath my right leg. Her feet are nestled under Finn’s leg, completing the knot of limbs. No wonder the blanket is missing — their combined body heat is enough to keep me warm.

“How did you manage not to get tangled up in all this?” I whisper quietly to Finn.

He lets out a soft huff before replying, “I was caught in it at first, but I had to go pee. When I came back, they had you completely pinned down. None of them have moved since.”

I bite my lip, hesitant to bring up the more personal part of the earlier conversation. “Did you hear what Ryker said about their pack?” I ask, careful not to mention the part about me.

Finn nods. “Yeah, I did. I think we should let him and Josh handle their business first. Once we have some answers, then we can talk things through with them. Sound good?” His fingers tighten around mine in a reassuring squeeze.

I swallow nervously and respond, “Okay.”

“Hey.” He tugs gently on my hand, coaxing me to look at him. His deep blue eyes hold a serious, contemplative expression. “I’ve been waiting a long time for my mate. I can wait a little longer.” A soft smile spreads across his face as he presses a tender kiss to the back of my hand. A shiver runs through me, unexpected and electric.

“That’s an interesting reaction,” he teases, raising his eyebrows playfully. “I wonder if it only happens when I kiss your hand.”

I yank my arm back quickly as he laughs. “There are children here,” I scold half-heartedly, reaching over Gabriel’s still form to try and free myself from the pile. It’s a struggle—he’s surprisingly heavy and flexible. After a few moments of effort, I finally manage to stand up beside the bed.
