Chasing His Kickass Luna Back novel Chapter 399

Abby

I had just turned eighteen, and I wasn’t expecting the words that my father had uttered.

“Abby,” he had said, “we found your fated mate. You’ll be marrying him in the spring.”

The emotions that had passed through my mind at that time had ranged from excitement to fury. Finding my fated mate was one thing, but being married so soon? And why?

“He’s from a good family,” my father had said. “You’ll be happy, I promise. He’s going to be an Alpha someday, I’m sure of it.”

But I was having none of it. When I met Karl, despite his handsome appearance and charming demeanor, I was furious. Our parents left us alone in the garden to get to know each other, but I just folded my arms and refused to even look his way.

Until he spoke, that is.

“Hey,” he said, his voice dropping to a conspiratorial tone. “Wanna go for a run?”

I hesitated, finally meeting his gaze. “What?”

“I said,” he repeated, “wanna go for a run?” As he spoke, he jerked his head toward the tree line, where the forest began.

“In our wolf forms?” I asked, furrowing my brow. Karl nodded.

I hesitated for a moment, unsure if it was a good idea. But when I glanced over and saw that our parents had long since disappeared, I knew we could get away with it; and I couldn’t deny the safety and warmth I felt beneath Karl’s brown-eyed gaze.

"Okay," I replied, a hint of excitement and nervousness in my voice.

We made our way to the tree line, and once we were out of sight, we shifted.

My fur was a beautiful, pristine white, while Karl’s was a vibrant shade of red. We stood there for a moment, taking in the sight of each other in our wolf forms. The connection between us felt electric, as if our souls were speaking a language only we could understand.

Karl approached me with a playful nudge, and I reciprocated. We circled each other, getting closer and closer until our noses met. Our scents filled the air, sweet and intoxicating, and it filled us both with exhilaration.
