The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna (Avery and Gideon) novel Chapter 386

Chapter 386

Before she disappeared, I called out, “How do you know?”

Melissa didn’t stop walking. She didn’t even turn. She just said over her shoulder, “The trees tell me things.”

I blinked a few times, certain I had misheard. Before I could ask what she meant by that, she was gone, disappearing around the bend in the path.

I stood there for a long moment, looking down at the bag in my hand. Guilt sent a pang shooting through my chest, and before I knew it, I was turning back to the house.

A few minutes later, I found Bjorn in his room, reading a book. That took me by surprise, because in the human lands he wasn’t much of a reader. But I didn’t say anything for fear of making him stop out of embarrassment.

“Hey,” I said, shutting the door behind me. “I have something for you.”

Bjorn sat up on his bed and perked up as I handed him the bag. “What’s this?”

“A gift.” I sat on the edge of the bed. “Open it.”

Bjorn’s whole face lit up. He tore into the bag with gusto, gasping at the various items nestled within. Upon pulling out the sneakers, he immediately put them on and ran a lap around the room, laughing. Then, he pulled out the toys and practically squealed with delight.

“You got me all this?” he asked, looking at me with his arms full.

I opened my mouth to tell him that yes, I had. Because it seemed easier. But then I thought about Melissa’s words, and I just… couldn’t lie.
