Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 146

“You don’t have to do this,” he says softly, as if finally realizing the finality of this moment.

“I know. I want to.”

He steps back, giving me space to walk away. For a second, our eyes meet, and in that moment, I see a flicker of the man I once knew, the man I once thought was changing for the better. But it’s too late for that now.

I turn away, and without another word, I make my way into the station. I hand my ticket over to the attendant and find my way onto the train, settling into a seat that offers a clear view of the platform.

Karl’s there, standing in the same spot, watching me with his hands in his pockets. Our eyes meet one last time through the window as the train starts to move. His figure grows smaller and smaller, a shrinking outline of past mistakes and broken trust, until he's just a blur in the distance.

I lean back in my seat, close my eyes, and exhale a breath I didn’t know I was holding. I don’t know what comes next, but one thing’s for certain: I can’t let Karl in again. Not now, not ever. And honestly, it’s my fault that I ever let him back in to begin with.

The train lurches forward, gaining momentum as it pulls away from the platform. I can’t help but glance out of the window one last time. Karl still stands there, his figure becoming a mere speck in the distance. A twinge of guilt tugs at me, but I push it aside. This is the path I’ve chosen; there’s no turning back now.

Just as I’m settling into that thought, a sudden rush of sensation floods me—a pulse of energy, a primal awareness that jolts my senses alive.

My wolf. After all these years, she’s back.

“What the hell are you doing?” I can feel her thoughts meshing with mine, both familiar and foreign after all this time.

I’m too shocked to formulate a coherent response. “You… You’ve been dormant for years, and now you decide to show up? Why?”

“I was heartbroken,” she replies. “When you chose to move forward without me, without us, I retreated. But I never lost hope. I thought maybe one day the two of you would work it out, and we could be whole again.”

Her words are laced with a bitterness that stings. “And you chose to come back now? When I’m leaving Karl?”
