Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 343

Karl

I make my way back to the pack territory, leaving Abby behind in the city.

It’s not an easy decision, but it’s what she wants. Besides, like she said, the pack needs my attention.

I’ve only been home for a day, but I’ve been lost in pack matters the entire time. I feel bad that I can’t call Abby, but I know we’ll be able to chat at some point. After all, our relationship went to the next stage over the weekend. We didn’t officially get back together, but it’s something.

And I’m happy with it for now, so long as it’s what she wants.

I’m engrossed in reviewing pack matters when Marcus strides into my office. His brow is furrowed, and he’s holding his phone in his hand, a hint of concern on his face. Without preamble, he asks, “Karl, have you seen this?”

I glance up at him, curiosity piqued, and motion for him to continue. Marcus holds out his phone, and I lean forward to see what’s caught his attention. A news clip is playing on the screen, and the headline reads,“Dozens Sick at Alpha Gathering. Abby to Blame?”

I nod, my expression grim. “I’m aware of it, Marcus.”

He looks at me, his gaze probing. “So, are you going to handle it for her? It seems like the two of you are back together.”

I lean back in my chair, sighing. “First of all, Marcus, Abby and I are not back together,” I clarify, my tone firm. “Second, I’m staying out of it. I’m not doing anything other than offering my support behind the scenes.”

Marcus raises an eyebrow, clearly surprised by my response. “What changed, Karl? You would’ve paid people off in the past to sweep something like this under the rug.”
