Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 324

My claws briefly extended before I quickly retracted them, maintaining my facade of the concerned mother while inwardly seething with rage.

The doors opened again, and Emma was wheeled out of the Bloodrush Chamber. My daughter looked pale and fragile on the hospital bed, her young wolf's energy barely perceptible beneath her skin.

I clung to her hand, genuine tears streaming down my face. Despite everything, Emma was my daughter, and seeing her suffer did affect me.

Even through her weakness, Emma did not forget my instructions. She feebly called out, "Daddy..."

Instantly, Ethan hung up his call and rushed over. His wolf responded instinctively to the pup's distress.

"Emma," he said, his voice gentle as he took her other hand. "Daddy's here, don't be afraid."

His wolf's protective energy enveloped my daughter, trying to lend her strength. The sight made my jealousy flare—his devotion to Emma was genuine, unlike his feelings for me.

Emma struggled for breath, her small chest rising and falling with effort. "I'm sorry for making you worry," she whispered, following the script I'd given her perfectly.

"I just wanted to see if you would come visit," she continued. "So I snuck out to the balcony and caught a chill."

Her young wolf whimpered beneath her skin, genuinely ill but also performing as instructed. I felt a flicker of pride at her perfect execution.

There was no reproach in Ethan's expression, only deep remorse. "It's my fault," he said, squeezing her tiny hand. "I shouldn't have left you alone. From now on, I'll stay at the medical den as much as I can."

Emma, showing maturity beyond her years, shook her head weakly. "You don't have to, Daddy. I know you're busy with pack matters. Just come to see me when you have time."

Ethan's amber eyes softened with affection. "Alright, be good. I'll take care of everything. Just rest and trust me."

She gazed at him with pure adoration. "Daddy, you're my superhero. You won't let anything happen to me, right?"

"I won't," Ethan answered firmly, his wolf howling silently with the promise to protect this pup he had raised as his own.

With her mission accomplished, Emma finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep. I remained at her side, hiding the venom in my eyes as I stroked her blonde hair.
