The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353

28 – Ben

“What’s going on with you two? You’re acting like you’ve never spoken to someone of the opposite sex before. And I know that’s not true for either of you,” Tommy teased, raising an eyebrow as we sat in the car.

“There’s nothing weird between us,” I replied sharply, stepping out of the vehicle to end the conversation. “Right now, she’s the only real target. Everything else feels like a distraction. She doesn’t accept help unless it’s forced on her. She trusts no one. Honestly, I think that’s because someone manipulated her into being that way.”

Tommy met me at the back of the SUV, ready to switch shifts on patrol. But he wasn’t finished talking about it yet.

“Okay, I think I’m starting to get it,” he said with a smirk.

I was already peeling off my shirt and tossing it into the back of the vehicle. “I’m almost too scared to ask—what’s your take on me?”

“You’re a control freak with a hero complex. You thrive on this mess,” he laughed, stripping off his clothes and shifting before I could even fire back a response. Typical asshole.

After changing, I shifted and prepared to jump into patrol mode. So far, everything was running smoothly, but with everything happening back home and Ryker’s reputation on the line, we weren’t taking any chances. Just an hour remained on the trip before Danny and Josh, Ryker’s Delta and Beta, would join us for backup.

“Speak of the devil,” I muttered as Josh’s wolf appeared, running up to us and falling into line.

“There’s been a slight change of plans,” Josh said, his tone grim. “The last couple of days have been a complete nightmare.”

“What’s going on? Is everyone okay?” My mind immediately went to Kennedy. She’s human—she needs all the protection she can get.

“It’s a long story, but the Luna…” Josh began.

“What happened to Kennedy?!” I snapped, my wolf stumbling at my outburst. “Does Jeremiah know?”

“Calm down. Our pack has been through enough in the last 48 hours,” Josh said firmly. “And my Luna—your friend,” I could hear the growl in both Josh’s and his wolf’s voices, “handled one of the threats early this morning, all on her own. And before you lose it, she’s fine. She’s at home resting, where she’ll stay undisturbed until Ryker says otherwise.”

Tommy jumped in, sensing my frustration. “So, where are we headed now? I know that explanation won’t cut it with you, and you’re about to start something your wolf will have to back up.”
