The Alpha's Borrowed Luna (Abigail Hayes) novel Chapter 141

“What is that?” My heart stuttered as I recognized the DNA test results.

Kaius’s expression shifted, something unreadable passing across his features. “I had a little suspicion. He picked up the paper, his eyes never leaving mine. “I hadn’t actually been sleeping.”

Understanding dawned. “You came here earlier?”

“Yes, I’m sorry and also not. How else would I know that this proves you aren’t related to me?” He held up the results, the decisive negative for familial relation clearly visible.

My mouth went dry. “You read it?”

“Of course. Why didn’t you tell me, Elowen?” There was no anger in his voice, only genuine confusion.

“What difference would it make? When you were having fun, I had been finding a way to get back together with you, and… I just didn’t see the need of telling you anymore.” The bitterness I’d been nursing resurfaced, though weakened by the lingering fear from my nightmare.

“This was the reason you came to our room, right?” He studied me intently.

“Yes, it was.” No point in lying now.

He took a deep breath, setting the paper aside. “Elowen, I need to ask you a question.”

“Well, ask on.” I pulled the sheets tighter around me, suddenly feeling vulnerable.

“Has your love for me changed?” His voice dropped lower, a hint of uncertainty I rarely heard from him.

The question caught me off guard, forcing me to examine my own feelings.

“No. Not one bit. I love you and nothing can change that, but I’ve learned that with you things would always be complicated; you just always seem to be in this different cycle, and I am somewhere below.”

“I am begging you for a chance, Elowen, and I don’t care if you want me to kneel before the whole pack and say this all over again.” The intensity in his voice, the sincerity in his eyes, made my breath catch.

A thought occurred to me–a way to balance the scales, to make him understand how it felt to be vulnerable. “You would do anything?”

“Anything.” No hesitation, his amber eyes steady on mine.

“What i tell you to strip?” I asked.

His lips curved in a slow smile. “That would be a twist of events… one I would love.”

“What are you waiting for?” I found myself on more solid ground, the nightmare’s grip loosening as I reclaimed

I of the

moment.

To my surprise, he complied, rising to his feet and methodically removing his clothing.

“Keep going, Alpha,” I instructed.

When he stood before me completely bare, I nodded in satisfaction. That would do. Now beg for another chance.”

“So that’s what wa

are doing. Amusement glinted in his eyes, but he knelt beside the bed without protest.

“What else did you think we would do?” I raised an eyebrow, enjoying the rare role reversal.

“Elowen, I am so sorry for being a jerk, and I think you are very much in my circle; please would you give me a chance?” The words were spoken with surprising humility for a man of his status.

“I will think about it,” I replied, though we both knew my decision was already made.

“Now may I get dressed, Elowen?” He gestured to his discarded clothing.

“I don’t know; I kind of like seeing you…” I teased, the last of the nightmare’s chill replaced by a different kind of heat.

“Elowen, I won’t hurt you; I just don’t feel very comfortable in that position.”

“Fine, get dressed and go,” I said with a smirk. “Don’t worry, seeing you like this has already eased my mind. No more nightmares for

me tonight.”

He laughed softly, his eyes holding mine as he pulled on his clothes.

“Good night, my queen.”

Chapter 141

I stretched awake in Frost’s room, feeling pleasantly sore from the night before. The memory of Kaius on his knees, completely vulnerable before me, brought a smile to my lips. That sight alone had been worth all the heartache.

“I am surprised, Frost’s voice came from the doorway, startling me from my thoughts.

“What?” I turned to find him leaning against the frame, a knowing smirk on his face.

‘From Kaius’s emotions, I didn’t think you would still be here, I’d have thought you were back in his room being… banged.” He raised an eyebrow suggestively.

“Frost!” Heat rushed to my face at his bluntness.

He laughed, crossing the room to pour himself coffee from the pot on his small table. “He usually has no restraints, but I guess he is indeed trying.”

I sat up straighter, curiosity piqued despite my embarrassment. “So Kaius was like… turned on?”

“Yeah, I guess you did play him.” Frost’s eyes held a warning I wasn’t sure I wanted to heed.

“I did,” I admitted, unable to keep the satisfaction from my voice. “And I enjoyed every bit of it.”

“Tsk. That was a dangerous thing to do. He would be back.” Frost sipped his coffee, watching me over the rim.

“He would be back for me?” The thought sent a thrill through me that was equal parts fear and anticipation.

“You keep repeating what I’ve already said.” He rolled his eyes, but his tone remained light.

“He won’t get me, I would be here in your room; he wouldn’t get to me in here, right?” I pulled the blanket tighter around me, suddenly less confident.

“And who is going to stop him?”

“I thought you were on my side.” I frowned, feeling betrayed.

“He is my Alpha; there is only little I can do and you started it.” Frost shrugged, though amusement still danced in his eyes.

“So… what do I do?” I asked, genuinely uncertain.

“You could go up to him.”

“Go up to him. The suggestion seemed preposterous.

“If you deny him any further, he would be back for you.” There was no doubt in Frost’s voice.

‘I can’t go throwing myself at him.” My pride rebelled at the thought

“Oh, he would strip you of that little pride soon.” Frost’s grin widened at my obvious discomfort.

“You are supposed to be my friend.” I threw a pillow at him, which he caught effortlessly.
