Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 272

Karl

The silence in the mansion is a stark contrast to the hum of the restaurant. I’m sitting at my desk amidst paperwork, meetings, and preparations for tomorrow’s luncheon. The pack is buzzing with excitement; their Alpha is looking for a date, potentially even a new Luna. It’s the talk of the town, and I feel like a spectacle.

“Karl, we need to go over the security arrangements for tomorrow. Your potential mates must be protected,” Marcus reminds me as he enters the room, a handful of notes in his hands.

I nod, setting aside my pen. “Let’s make it quick. I’ve got a lot on my plate.”

As we talk, I can’t help but think of the irony. Here I am, arranging for a new date to the Alpha party, while Abby… What is she up to, actually? I declined her call the other day, and haven’t heard anything else. Is she doing okay? Is she thriving?

“Karl, you haven’t said a word about the seating arrangements. What are your thoughts?” Marcus asks, pulling me back to reality.

“Just follow the usual protocol, Marcus. I trust your judgment,” I say, trying to focus on the conversation at hand.

He studies me for a moment, his concern evident. “You sure you’re up for this, Karl? You don’t have to go through with it if you’re not ready.”

I sigh, rubbing a hand over my face. “It’s not about being ready. It’s what’s best for the pack,” I say, a mantra I’ve repeated to myself too often lately.

Once Marcus leaves, I rise from my desk, the sense of disquiet growing. I step outside, taking in the expanse of the estate, the manicured lawns, the wild forests beyond. This was supposed to be our domain, Abby’s and mine. What will happen if I introduce a new woman? Will she want to change it? Make it her own? I’m not sure if I want that.

With a sigh, I head back inside. I can hear my staff in the kitchen, gossiping as they prepare for tomorrow’s big luncheon. They’re oblivious to my presence.
