Chapter 202
Alpha King’s Lost Luna
Chapter 202 Love forever and always
I continued running in the forest. My lungs cried out in pain with every stride, but I didnât want to stop, not now. Silas raced alongside me, but I barely acknowledged his presence.
I wished this was a dream. I wished I could wake up and say that none of this was real, that I wasnât in this position, and that everything was alright. But this wasnât a dream. It was a living nightmare.
Ca ssandra was leaving.
I couldnât allow that to happen.
When Silas told me what was happening, I couldnât believe him. I had frowned and stared at the Beta in complete and total shock as his words set in. His golden. eyes had stared into mine with intensity and solemnity as he shared the truth, and though I knew he was being honest, part of me wished he was just being duplicitous.
But he wasnât. Ca ssandra had been taken by the king of Yurene hours ago. Heâd stolen her away while Iâd been sedated by Adalyn at the military base.
Despite the heavy rain that likely delayed their departure, she had probably pa*sed the borders of Wegalla and left the country entirely.
Rationally, I knew it was unlikely that I would catch up to her. But I was still running anyway. I would go to the ends of the earth for Ca ssandra.
As I dashed through the thick line of trees, I continued to ruminate on the situation. Despite his surname, I couldnât blame Silas. He had proven his loyalty to me by saving Ector.
Before the Beta had told me that Ca ssandra had been taken by Kaleb, he

informed me that Ector was in stable condition. He had borrowed a car from the military base and had driven Ector to Anemond. Once he arrived at the capital, he checked Cas sandraâs brother into Kellerâs under a fake name and arranged for a royal healer to look after him.
I was relieved that Ector was alright. His absence had been a major cause of concern and I was grateful that the Beta had made sure he was safe and far away from Oliver Mosesâ clutches.
But when he told me about Kaleb and his dastardly intentions, Iâd lost all sense of calm and grabbed him by the collar.
While I couldnât blame the Beta for not being able to stop the Northern king, I was still angered.
At the end of the day, I couldnât blame anyone but myself. It was my st upidity that made me lose her again. If I had claimed her and made her my Lunaâ¦
But there was no point in considering the possibilities. She was leaving me, and
I was losing her. That was the only thing that remained in my mind. It was an imminent nightmare, and I knew that my life was going to fall into darkness yet again.
So, I kept running.
I knew well that this was all possibly in vain. Ca sandra was probably well past the borders. But I couldnât stop. Following after her was the only thing that gave me hope.
After a while, I could taste blood in my mouth. I knew that my eyes were probably bloodshot and my muscles were crying out in anguish. Even my claws ached, and I was certain they were bleeding as well.
Suddenly, in the distance, I saw a wooden house. I wasnât sure if it was the same one I had seen when I was running back to Anemond from the military base, but they looked very similar.
I remembered the figures I had seen and stopped in place. What if they hadnât

been rogues as Iâd suspected and were the diplomatic corps of Yurene? What if one of them had been Ca ssandra?
I couldnât get the idea out of my mind and immediately dashed to the wooden house.
Silas followed suit and we shifted out of our wolf forms and into our human
ones.
As we entered the house, Silas fl*pped a switch and lit up the entry, and we quickly spotted ash and dry wooden branches in the fireplace. The Beta squatted down and touched the brick-laden structure, and his eyebrows crinkled with
concern.
âSomeone lit a fire here,â he noted. âBut they must have left a while ago. The ground is cold now.â
I nodded but didnât speak.
Since it was only meant to be a place to stop and rest, there were only two rooms in the wooden house. I approached the first door on the left, and when I stepped inside and fl*pped the light switch, I found a folded piece of paper lying on the floor as if it were waiting to be picked up.
I grabbed it and my heart ski pped a beat when I saw my name written on the
front.
To Asher Collins.
A lump formed in my throat and my hands began to shake.
It was written in Cas sandraâs handwriting.
I held my breath for a moment and my head began to ache. I steeled the worst and my claws dug deep into my hands as I opened the letter.

My Dearest Asher,
25%D
By the time you read this, Iâll have left the country already.
I want you to know that I didnât leave you willingly, and if I had another choice, I wouldnât have gone. But the fact of the matter is, I didnât see another way to get out
of this.
I know youâre likely worried about me, but I want you to know that Iâm fine, and Finnick is fine as well. Our safety has pretty much been guaranteed, so please donât fret.
The reason Iâm writing this letter to you is this- I donât want you to look for me or try to save me from Yurene. I wouldnât be so pompous to think that you would launch a war against the North for me, but I want you to know that it isnât the right time for me to make my escape. I will do it in time, of course, but not now.
I donât believe Iâll be mistreated in Yurene since Kaleb needs me to cooperate. This is all to do with Emmett Keller. He had some involvement in Yurene, and the king needs a piece of information that he believes Emmett left behind. I intend to find the truth behind Emmett and Yurene. Asher, I think thereâs a big conspiracy here that is related to Wegalla as well. Kaleb told me that Yureneâs true target is Wegalla.
You need to be careful about this. Oliver Moses is working with the Northern king and is plotting against your crown and the country.
While I sort through this mess of a situation in Yurene, I want you to fight your battle in Anemond and be the great Alpha King I know you can be. I know itâs going to be hard, so much so that you might want to give up, but I need you to win. I believe in you more than anything else and know you have the power to triumph, but I want you to be cautious, Asher. Donât get yourself hurt on my behalf. Iâd never forgive myself if you were injured fighting my battles. Iâve involved too many people in this mess. I canât risk you getting hurt.
Know that we arenât fighting alone. Though weâre in different battlefields, weâre

fighting together, and working toward a future where we wonât be separated again.
I love you, Asher.
Iâll love you forever and always.
â Ca ssandra
