Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 148

She looks at me, her eyes filling with tears, and for a moment I think she’s going to argue. But then she just nods, her shoulders slumping in defeat.

“Very well,” she murmurs, looking down at her desk to avoid meeting my gaze.

I don’t wait for her to say anything else. I turn on my heels and walk out of the room, leaving her to grapple with her own guilt.

I make my way back home, ascending the grand staircase that leads to my office. The air feels heavier with each step I take, laden with a mixture of dread and regret.

“Now, onto the next step,” I think to my wolf. “I’ve decided that I’m going to write Abby a letter. A heartfelt, genuine letter that’s going to make her see exactly why I did what I did.”

I settle into my leather chair, then open up a new document on my laptop. My fingers hover over the keys, but as it turns out, it’s much more difficult than I thought to draft the perfect words.

“Dear Abby,” I begin, then pause, staring at the blinking cursor on the screen. It feels too formal, too distant.

“You really think that’ll win her back?” my wolf asks with a scoff. “Try again.”

I press the backspace key until the screen is empty again. “Alright, let’s try something else. Abby, I please hear me out—”

“Way too desperate,” my wolf interrupts again. “No woman wants a man who begs like that.”

With a frustrated growl, I delete the sentence. My mind feels like a scrambled mess, thoughts and emotions colliding in a chaotic jumble. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, I’ve fully exhausted all of my ideas and yet the page is still blank.

“Sir, we need to talk,” he starts cautiously, “regarding your ultimatum with Gianna—and its consequences.”

I raise an eyebrow, suddenly intrigued yet confused. “What do you mean? How do you know about this?”

Gerald’s lips tighten as if he’s holding back a wave of emotion. “I’ve been with your adoptive family for many years, served faithfully and never questioned the authority of the Alpha. But I find myself compelled to make a choice now.”

I look at him, bewildered. “A choice? What are you talking about?”

“If you’re planning to fire Gianna, then I’m afraid you'll be losing more than just a secretary,” he states flatly, his gaze unwavering. “I’ll have no option but to resign as well.”
