Alpha’s Rue: His Shunned Luna (Athena Enchanted) novel Chapter 406

TW: Dismemberment.

I make my way to James’ office.

I pause when I hear something loud coming from his office, low, familiar groans that instantly irritate me. I push the door open. He should be working, not fucking, during office hours. This is practically a hospital. Nothing prepares me for what I see inside. James is alone, leaning back on the seat he offered us earlier, staring at something.

“Al-Alpha Kingston,” he scrambles off the chair, desperately reaching for the remote, but it drops.

My eyes shift to the screen, my stomach dropping when I catch sight of the familiar face on it. “What the fuck?” I bark, staring at the screen. My mate is on that screen, half-naked in her bed and smearing paint over her skin.

“I can explain, Alpha.” He gasps, “The...the..” I don’t let him finish, I swing before he can speak. He staggers, but he doesn’t fall, he takes a few steps back, but I reach him in a few strides again. “It was a mistake,” his eyes widen. “I mean, it’s monitoring.”

“Monitoring?” I groan, slamming my fist into his face again and again. “You have fucking cameras in her room! You are jerking off to my wife in her underwear, and it's a mistake?” I slam my forehead against his, knocking him to the ground this time. “You were supposed to help her get better.”

“No, Alpha i...” he reaches for the remote control once again, still desperate to turn the screen off even after I’ve seen it all.

At least I think I have, until my gaze flickers to the screen and I see something else on the screen. I pause, everything looks normal for the first few seconds, until he crawls onto her bed and unbuckles his belt. My gaze shifts, and he shakes his head, crawling backwards on the floor.

Something snaps inside me, and the anger moulds into pure feral wrath. James rises to his feet, “No... no... it is not what it looks like.”

“You touched her?” I choke out, the statement in itself unbelievable. He crawled into her bed and jerked off to her? Thinking about how many times it’s happened makes my stomach churn.

“No Alpha, I—” I throw him towards his desk, barely containing the urge to shift and rip him apart with my teeth.

“You’re dead,” I growl.

“I’m sorry, I was just helping...yes.” he frantically nods, trying to get away from me. “I was helping her, you... You-you said to take very good care of her.” He rasps, swiping blood off his nose. “To give her what she needs.”

“I didn’t ask you to molest my mate!” I roar, stalking him around the room.

“I was just giving her a hand, I...Alpha, please, please forgive me. I wasn’t thinking I—”
