Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 365

“Thanks for picking me up, Marcus,” I finally say, breaking the silence.

He glances at me with a small smile. “No problem, Abby. Karl wanted to make sure you’re safe.”

I nod, appreciating Karl’s concern. “I know. I just... I never thought I’d wind up in a situation like this. It feels weird. Like I’m a celebrity on the run from a scandal.”

Marcus turns onto a winding road, the scenery becoming even more picturesque. “Hey, it’s just part of the job when you make it big and start doing things like catering the Alpha gathering,” he says. “Which, by the way… was impressive.”

“You really think so?” I ask.

He nods. “Of course. Lots of people are talking about it. Abby, our old Luna, is moving on up in the world. Good for you.”

His words make me smile, and I turn to look out the window again to hide the blush in my cheeks. “Thanks, Marcus. That’s nice of you.”

We drive in silence for a while longer, the tranquility of the countryside providing a stark contrast to the chaos of the city I left behind. The tension that had hung in the air earlier has dissipated, replaced by a sense of ease.

“So, how’s Karl doing?” I ask, wanting to steer the conversation away from my own troubles. “I mean, how’s he really doing. He doesn’t usually say.”

Marcus glances at me, his expression softening. “He’s… been busy with campaign preparations, but he’s holding up well. His approval ratings are on the rise, and he’s optimistic about the upcoming election.”

I smile, genuinely happy to hear that things are going well for Karl. But I knew all of this already; I want to know how he’s doing, not just as an Alpha, but as a person.

“But how is he really?” I find myself asking. “How stressed is he?”

Marcus pauses for a moment, then finally lets out a sigh. “On a scale of one to ten?” he asks.

“Yes.”
