Chapter 353: Aurora

“Hey,” I called, rushing out of the hotel after him. “Hey, man… you there, walking away!!” I yelled.

He halted, and I crouched, clutching my chest and breathing deeply. “Finally! Why were you running so fast?”

He turned, raising an eyebrow and scanning my outfit. “Do I know you, lady?”

I shook my head, trying to steady my breath. He furrowed his brow and stepped closer. “Are you okay?” he asked worriedly.

“Woo…” I muttered to myself, stepping back. Chill, big guy, don’t be nasty.

He locked eyes with me—it felt like he could read my mind—and raised his hands. “I mean no harm… I’d just finished work and was on my way home. Is there something I can help you with?”

I sighed, relieved. He seemed like a good person.

“I am Aurora Devere, Luna of Alpha Montague of Blue Ridge Pack…”

He cut me off, bowing slowly. “Greetings, Luna. I am Kyle.”

I nodded. “Greetings, Kyle. I came to Trigon Pack for a reason. I think you can help me find what I’m looking for.”

Kyle raised an eyebrow, looking around as if unsure if I was addressing him. “Me?” he asked aloud.

“Yes… Kyle, if you can help me fix this… you will be heavily compensated.”

Kyle chuckled. “If it’s something honest, I’d love to. Let’s hear it.”

I smiled. It felt good to know he was a good man. But he certainly didn’t look like it.

I scanned him, noticing his tattoo. I pointed. “That… what’s that?”

“This is the emblem of my pack, the Trigon Pack… I am the son of Alpha Fabian.”

My jaw dropped. “But…” I pointed at the hotel, wondering why he worked as a cleaner there.

“Well… I was disowned by my father, so here I am,” he said, opening his arms.

“Shitty,” I whispered.

He nodded, running a hand through his hair. “I disobeyed my father, so I have to face the consequences, hoping that one day he’ll accept me back.”

“I’m sorry.”

He nodded. “What was it you needed my help with?”

“Alina?”

He snapped his head up, rushing towards me. “Alina?” he asked, looking around. “Do you know her… where is she?”

I raised an eyebrow, watching his reaction. He ran a hand through his hair, his chest heaving.

“Luna, please tell me where she is… at least I’ll get to see my child.”

I opened my eyes in shock, glaring at him. “Your child? You mean, Alina has a child with you?” I asked, feigning ignorance of Alina’s pregnancy.

“Alina is pregnant with my child… she’s why my father disowned me—because I impregnated a commoner. But Alina was the love of my life. I thought she loved me too, until my father disowned me and I started working as a cleaner… but then she ran away.”

My jaw dropped. “I’ve searched everywhere… but I couldn’t find her anywhere…” He fell to his knees, taking my hand. “Please, Luna… if you know where she is, or my child, take me to them. I have nothing to offer you, but I can be your loyal servant, offer you my life… I just want to see her again, and hopefully, my child.”

“Get up, Kyle,” I said, patting his hand. “I know where Alina is, and she’s currently causing problems in my pack.”

Kyle stood. “What problem? Can we go there now?”

I shook my head. “Not yet. Alina’s playing a game, and I want to beat her at it. Listen, there’s going to be a party in my pack tomorrow evening… come then, and take Alina back with you.”

Kyle kissed my hand. “I’m sorry, Luna… but I’m so emotional right now… I could hug you.”

I chuckled. “No, don’t…”

He hugged me before I could stop him. He pulled back quickly. “Sorry… Luna.”

“It’s fine,” I groaned, rolling my eyes. “I’d better get back to my room. I don’t want my husband to wake up and find me gone. Meet me here by eight AM, and I’ll give you directions to my pack.”

Kyle nodded. “I’ll be here thirty minutes early, Luna…”

“Fine.”

He bowed and left, jumping and smiling. I swallowed, looking up at the moon. “Thank you for making this easy for me.”

I smiled and raced back inside the hotel, sucking in air through my teeth as I rushed into the elevator. I hope Dane is still asleep. He’ll be furious about where I’ve been, and I can’t tell him until Kyle exposes Alina himself.

The elevator stopped, and I walked out, my palms sweating as I gripped my key. “I hope he’s not awake yet,” I prayed silently, pushing open the door and entering.

I looked at the bed… oh my god, it’s empty. Where is Dane? Shit… is he awake?

I swallowed, turning to see Dane standing by the window, gazing out. “Da… Dane?”

He turned, raising an eyebrow. “Where have you been?”
