The Abandoned Luna's Journey to Power (by Emily Reed) novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Glad Tidings

King Ryken’s POV:

When my Beta, Morton, burst in, I was studying a report on the internal power struggles within the vampire kingdom.

“What happened to Adam? Did something go wrong in Liberty City?” I rose abruptly. The pressure of an Alpha King flooded the hall at once, so heavy that even the candle flames bowed low.

“No, no, nothing went wrong. It’s … it’s something momentous.” Morton presented the letter with both hands. “My king, you should read it yourself.”

I snatched the envelope and tore through the seal.

A savage killing intent surged up from my chest.

Damned mongrels. Damned traffickers.

How dare they reduce a noble heir of the wolf bloodline to this.

“Morton.” I turned back, my voice once more cold and resolute with royal authority. “Go to Baron Kazek’s estate. They must hear this news first.”
