Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 305

Karl

I’m standing outside of my brother’s room, my hand lingering in front of the doorknob. This is it. After years of being in a coma, my brother is finally awake. I take a deep breath and push the door open.

And there he is, sitting up in bed.

“Ethan,” I breathe, my voice catching in my throat.

He turns to look at me, and for a moment, we just stare at each other. Then, without a word, I rush forward and hug him tightly. Neither of us lets go for the longest time.

“Karl,” he croaks, his voice still hoarse from years of not being used. “It’s good to finally see you, little brother.”

I pull away and look up at him, holding his shoulders in both hands. He’s thinner now than he was before, but he’s still my brother. His eyes are the same, filled with that same light that they always were. He’s just older now, and a little gaunt.

“I can’t believe you’re awake,” I murmur.

He laughs. It’s a gravelly sound, but it lifts my spirits. “I’m glad to be back, brother,” he says.

We spend the next few hours talking, catching up on everything that has happened during the years he was in a coma. Ethan tells me about the dreams he had, how he could hear the sounds of the voices that spoke to him even when he couldn’t respond, and how he always wished to be a part of it all.

But neither of us knows how he managed to wake up so suddenly; he just did. It feels random, out of nowhere, but like a miracle at the same time.

“I’ve heard about your achievements as Alpha,” he says at one point. “I’m proud of you.”

I can’t help but feel a swell of happiness at his words. “I’ve done my best to lead the pack well, Ethan. I hope to make you even prouder.”

He smiles warmly. “I have no doubt you will.”

As we talk, I can’t help but notice the bouquet of fresh flowers on the table beside Ethan’s bed. There were fresh flowers here last time, too, but these ones are brand new.

“Ethan, those flowers,” I say, nodding toward them. “Are they from a visitor?”

Ethan grins mischievously. “Ah, you noticed. Yes, they are. Someone came to visit me during my coma, and her voice was like a lifeline in the darkness. I couldn’t see her face, but I could hear her, and it kept me going.”

I’m intrigued. “Who is she, Ethan? Do I know her?”

He chuckles. “You’ll find out soon enough, Karl. She’ll be at the Alpha party.”

I raise an eyebrow, surprised. “The Alpha party? But Ethan, you only just woke up. Are you sure you’re up for it?”

Ethan’s eyes sparkle with excitement. “I’ve been trapped in a coma for so long, Karl. I’m dying to socialize a bit, and besides, I have a date.”

I can’t help but smile at his enthusiasm. “Well, in that case, I’m looking forward to meeting this mysterious lady.”

“Speaking of ladies,” he says, his voice filled with a hint of mischief, “did you ever win Abby back after all?”
