The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299

39 – Finn

Greta and I found ourselves too exhilarated to focus on anything else, so we nestled together on the couch, talking softly as the night stretched into the early morning hours. Ryker had mentioned he had some ideas to help speed things along for us, but he needed to catch a few hours of sleep before Rosie stirred from her latest nap. I admired how devoted he was to supporting his mate during these early, uncertain days—something I both respected and envied quietly.

Greta let out a heavy sigh but remained silent. Through the bond, I sensed a wave of sadness washing over her, yet she was curled up close against my side, her head tucked beneath my chin, shielding her face from my view.

“Hey,” I whispered gently, pressing a soft squeeze to her hip. “Talk to me.”

Another sigh, then a slight sniffle. The tension was unbearable, and I couldn’t stand the silence any longer. I lifted her into my lap, forcing her to meet my gaze even though she kept her eyes tightly shut, as if that could hide the redness beneath.

“Greta, love, you have to open up to me,” I urged softly. “What’s going on in that stubborn mind of yours?”

Her breath came uneven, shaky as she tried to steady herself. “It just feels too good to be true.” Her eyes stayed closed, but a single tear slipped free. This time, she didn’t wipe it away or try to hide how deeply she was feeling.

When she seemed reluctant to say more, I slid my hands up her thighs, resting them gently on her lower back to pull her closer. “What feels too good to be true?”

A shaky sob escaped her lips. “All of this—us, the kids, the life I thought was lost forever. I spent ten years shutting that part of me away because I believed I was broken beyond repair. I told myself I’d be a warrior and nothing else. So I threw myself into being the best warrior in Ryker’s pack. But now, you’ve come into my life, and no matter what, I couldn’t push you away.” A small laugh bubbled up, but she still wouldn’t meet my eyes. “Now we’re even talking about taking in stray kids, giving them what we never had. It’s only been a few days, and I’m already too attached. What if we find Trinity’s pack, and her real family wants her back? I don’t know if I’ll be able to handle losing her.”
