My Stepsister Returned To Rewrite Fate But I Became Luna (Chloe) novel Chapter 180

Chapter 180

Cloe’s POV

Alpha Paul’s guards came for me that night.

Axel and I lay on the ground side by side, watching a inovie that Sandra had recommended to us.

Their gazes were down on the ground as they spoke, evidently-hating to be in this situation.

“Luna Chloe, Alpha has ordered that you remain under house arrest until the results of the investigation are concluded,” the head guard said quietly.

He dared to sneak a peek at Axel. “Young Alpha, your Dad has ordered that you report to the pack house for a meeting-”

“I am not going,” Axel replied bluntly without taking his eyes away from the screen.

The guards went very quiet before trying again. “Young Alpha, you are putting us in a tough situation-”

Axel cut in again, this time his voice was firmer. “Go back and tell my Dad that I just marked my mate and immediately after, she is being accused of murder and placed under house arrest. As anyone with a brain could deduce, I am very upset.”

He turned to the guards. “Inform him and the attendees of his stupid meeting that I would like to spend some time with my mate and they can have fun, begging an entitled brat for handouts.”

His arm wrapped protectively around my torso. “Shut the door on your way out. Better yet, lock it. Neither of us would be leaving this cabin anytime soon.”

The guards slinked out of the room one after the other and the door shut behind them. I held onto Axel and then burst into gentle laughter.

“My goodness,” I said, laughing until my belly hurt. “Did you seriously tell the guards to tell your Dad that? You could have sent a letter or something.”

Axel looked more happy than anything to see the smile on my face. “He can go hug a traffic light for all I care.” His lips pressed to my forehead. “You need me now more than he does.”

His words made tears burn behind my eyes.

I never knew how amazing it was to be chosen over and over again. Axel would even risk his Dad’s anger and his own reputation in the eyes of the others in attendance to defend me.

“I want to repay you somehow,” I whispered. “I want to do something nice for you.”

Axel grinned cheekily and I just knew that he was going to say something naughty. I covered his mouth with my hand. “Do not.”

Axel snuggled closer, prying my hand from his lips. “Of course, I won’t ask you for sex now. I am not a monster. You should get some rest-”

“Here I thought you guys were going to be plotting how to commit murder,” Riven said as she climbed into the cabin from the back window.

Darius respectfully came in through the back door.

A few minutes later, Sandra snuck in after her brother, carrying a basket with steaming food inside.

As if on cue, my stomach growled.

Sandra pouted. “Poor baby, you must not have eaten all day, right?” she said as she set the basket down. “Don’t worry. We will keep bringing you food until all of this is over.”

Axel and I glanced at each other and then back at our guests.

“What exactly is happening in the pack house right now?”

Sandra’s grip tightened so hard that the metal spoon in her hand bent. “Hannah lost the baby.”

The declaration made me let out a breath, my brow lifted. “And the doctors confirmed that she was actually pregnant?”

Sandra hummed. “First trimester. The abortion pill in the food was enough to cause a miscarriage. Now, Hannah’s dad is calling for Mara’s head.”

My jaw clenched. Of course he was.

“Mara does not have anything to do with this. Even a stupid person would realize that.”

“Yes. However…” Sandra scanned me from head to toe. “You pissed Donatello off. He has had it out for you since the Alpha meet and just saw his chance. Because you injured him…”

Darius clicked his tongue. “I refrain from speaking about other Alphas as it is usually not my place to judge but Alpha Everdeen is making a mess of this situation. The attackers in this situation are preying on his stubbornness and using it to their advantage.”

Riven shuffled closer and hugged me into her side. “It is a real pity though. You just mated and you have not even had the time to receive the gifts before this happens. It is clear that they are targeting you.”

My eyes fell shut and I wrapped my arms around Riven. “I’m fine. I should take this as a long-awaited vacation. The moment this is over, Luna Diane would be working me to the bone.”

That said, I did not know what Luna Diane thought of this whole thing.
