Rejected by My Alpha Now He Replaced Me with a Copycat Luna novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95

Raven’s POV

I woke to the sound of purring and pressure on my chest, but the good kind. Not the type that spoke of fear and anxiety but of comfort.

My eyes fluttered open to see Lulu’s tiny kitty body curled up right over my heart. Everything in me melted. Nox had told me that she’d slept with me every night I’d been in the healing sleep. And she stuck close even now.

Glancing at the clock, I winced. Half past ten. Even days later, I was still sleeping far more than normal. But my strength was returning.

A folded piece of paper caught my attention. I grabbed it and petted Lulu with my other hand.

Dexter has breakfast for you when you’re up. Don’t think about skipping it. I’ll be in The Lair. Love you. – Nox

My throat tightened as I read those final words. Love you. He hadn’t spoken them out loud, but he showed me every single day. I shouldn’t have been surprised that he would give voice to them in the most Nox-like way possible.

But still, fear took hold. That love was a precious gift. And it meant there was that much more to lose.

Lulu butted her head against my chin.

“I love you, too.”

It was so much easier to give an animal those words. Maybe if my wolf had supremacy, it would be easier for her, too.

Lulu’s purring intensified as I scratched her little furry booty.

I couldn’t help but grin. “What do you think? Want to get breakfast?”

She popped up like a little meerkat, her head cocking to one side. I laughed. “You love eggs.”

Lulu let out a series of meows and leapt off me.

“Okay, okay, I’m getting up.” I swung my feet over the side of the bed, moving to sit. I waited to see if any dizziness came, but it didn’t. Progress.

The only problem was that progress came with decisions needing to be made. When to leave. Where to go. Whether or not to let Nox and Dexter

come with me.

I shoved all of it to the side and pushed to my feet. I made quick work of getting ready for the day, Lulu chattering to me the whole time. Donning leggings, a workout top, and sneakers, I was ready to go.

I walked each day. Nox, Dexter, or both came with me. Sometimes, Lulu came, too,

As if summoning her, she leapt onto the bed and then my shoulder, I laughed and stroked her chest.

She nestled against my neck in answer, and we headed to the kitchen. Music played softly, some indie rock band I couldn’t identify. My breath caught when I stepped inside,

Dexter stood at the stove wearing dark jeans that hugged his hips and a white tee that traced every plane of muscle. My whole body came alive, my fingers itching to trace his brand.

“Morning, luv,” he called without turning around. He slid two pancakes off the griddle and onto a platter, then finally turned to face me.

He looked better, too. There was color back in his face, and those green eyes were full of mischief again. “Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and Nox’s

healing drink.”

My stomach rumbled. “Thanks, buddy.”

Those green eyes flashed. “My love, what did I say about calling me buddy?”

I grinned as I slid onto a stool at the island, Lulu still perched on my shoulder. “That you love it?”

Dexter let out a low growl. “Ill show you what kind of buddy I can be.”

My body shivered with a pleasant tremble. “I look forward to it.”

“You’ll need to eat all of this, then.” Dexter stacked my plate full of food.

“I’m not Asher-sized,” I grumbled.

Dexter shot me a stern look. “I know you share with that little beast.”

I lifted a hand to stroke under Lulu’s chin. “She’ll get you if you talk mean to her.”

The cat hissed in Dexter’s direction as if to emphasize the point.

Dexter made a bastardized sign of the cross. “Get away from me, demon. Did you know she swiped at me when I tried to cuddle you last night?”

My lips twitched. “Were you trying to move her?”

He pouted. “Maybe.”

“Then it was your own damn fault.” I took a bite of the eggs and realized they were flavored with cheese and garlic. I moaned.

“You keep making sounds like that, and I’m taking you right back to bed,” Dexter all but purred.

“Not exactly a threat, buddy.” I broke off a piece of bacon and fed it to Lulu.

“You’re killing me.”

The feeling was mutual. Dexter and Lulu traded barbs as we ate, but I knew they really loved each other. When Lulu had her fill, she leapt from my shoulder and headed off to do gods only knew what.

“She’s probably going to take a shit in my shoe,” Dexter muttered.

I tried to choke back a giggle because it wouldn’t be the first time.
