No Longer Be your Luna (Jane and Xander) novel Chapter 50

“No.” I stood up and pulled her to me. “It’s perfect.” I deliberately forgot about taking things slow and kissed her fiercely. “Thank you.” I let out a breath, still holding her. “I’m wearing the watch tomorrow.”

Her brow furrowed. “Tomorrow?”

I sighed. “The meeting to terminate the Blackwood contract.”

Jane’s whole expression shifted. “You’re serious?” I nodded. “Aaron, they’re not going to just let you walk away from that. It could affect your company… it could affect you.”

I pulled her hand to my chest. “I don’t care. I promise you. I made this decision on my own. It isn’t just about you.”

But Jane didn’t seem to believe me. “I don’t want you to ruin your future because of me.”

“I’ve been thinking about this for a while. Long before all of this.”

“But what if you regret it later?”

“Jane…” I squeezed her hand gently. “I don;t make these decisions impulsively, especially as Alpha if Lorenz Pack.” I leaned in a little closer, so she could feel the sincerity in my voice. “Trust me. I know what I’m doing.”

She blinked up at me, her expression‘ softening. And there goes my heart again, doing somersaults because Jane gazed at me.

“You’re really…” She paused, then shook her head. “You’re amazing, Aaron.”

My heart doubled its movements. I managed a small smile despite the wave of emotions in me and touched my forehead to hers. “Right back at you.”

It’s noon now. I was curled up with Jane only an hour ago. And now I‘ m standing in front of Blackwood Group. I’ve walked through the glass doors of this building a couple of times, but this time as I stepped through, it felt different.

It’s because I know Jane’s not in her office. I didn’t come here for her, I came here to deal with Xander.

David Bush, my lawyer, a tall man with cropped hair stood beside me. He tugged at his Armani suit before clearing his throat. “You ready?”

I glanced down at the watch on my wrist. “Yeah.”

Just like clockwork, Lily appeared by the front desk with a fake smile, obviously following Xanders instructions.

“Mr. Lorenz,” she said, her voice sugary sweet. “Welcome back. Mr. Blackwood is expecting you.”
