Luna On The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 39
Like clockwork, Khan came into my room, and I tried to hide that I had been crying. As I wiped my eyes angrily, I felt the bed dip and his hand on my side. I shuffled slightly away, only for him to pull me back closer. “You haven‘t been speaking to me, and now I find you trying to hide the fact that you were just crying. Tell me, is it what that dickhead did this morning?”
I refused to answer and just shook my head. Before I could stop her, Lexa forced control, “Your asswipe of a human is keeping us a prisoner here, just like that fucking vampire. We missed our best friend‘s funeral. Elena couldn‘t even speak to her mother because the prick had cut the phone line. We are trapped here, and that piece of shit brings another woman here every night. Had the balls to call us the help!” she snarls savagely.
I forced back control from Lexa, pushing her back behind the veil, “Khan, it‘s fine. This is just how my life is going to be. Pointless, the blame will always be placed on me. Even though I did nothing to cause any of this to happen, it will always be my fault in the eyes of Axton and my father.”
I was going to lay my head back down on my pillow only to feel Khan scoop me up, causing me to shriek at the abrupt motion. He places me on his lap, rubbing my back, causing me to relax in my tense posture. Nestling my head in the
crook of his neck, I inhaled deeply, letting his scent wash over me, knowing this was as close as I would ever get to Axton, and that was because he wasn‘t even aware of his wolf‘s creeping night visits.
“I will get you a phone to call your mother. I might not be able to get you a key, but I‘m sure he has spare ones somewhere, or I can get one from Eli. You shouldn‘t be trapped like an
animal and have every right to talk to your mother without his dumbass being in the way. How does that sound?” Khan tells me, and I purse my lips, wondering if I could really ask him to go against his human
counterpart for me. I know I would feel rather betrayed by Lexa if I found out she was parading around in my body as if she owned it.
I nodded my head in the crook of his neck, “Anything else you want or need?” I wasn‘t going to ask, but this was the most receptive anyone has been to me, almost my entire life, outside my mom and Alisha and Jake‘s unwelcome affections. Just thinking about Alisha made tears sting my eyes. I let out a slight shudder, “Lena, tell me, please. I want to help.”
Lexa was trying to bulldoze past the veil, so I said it, cutting her off, “My mother wanted to take me baby shopping and have lunch. My accounts were locked the day I was kicked out of my pack by my father,” Khan growled at the mention of my dad; it caused me to tense up a bit. “I‘m sorry, Lena. I didn‘t mean to frighten you; your father makes me see red. Finish what you were going to say.”
I really didn‘t want to get Khan in trouble with Axton for even asking. Lexa pushed me back, coming forward, “Elena has no access to money because she was locked out of all her accounts. She just wants to be able to get a few things for the babies and have lunch with her mother. She hasn‘t seen her in months.”
“Well, fuck, Lexa. Do you want to ride in my skin as Khan does with Axton?”
“Umm, that‘s a definite no. It looks so unnatural with Khan doing it. It makes me itch just thinking about it,” Lexa retreats with a shiver of her body and sits on her haunches, waiting to
see what Khan says to me. “Money is not an issue,” he lifts me from his lap and offers me his hand,“Come with me.”
Lexa hisses at me, “Take his hand. What are you waiting for. silly? He is offering to help us.” I get up, put my slippers on, take his hand, and follow Khan out of the room and down the hall. He takes me to the living room, pushing on a panel in the wall I didn‘t even know was there. He punches in a code unlocking it. It was stacked to the brim with money making me gasp.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“You should know the code. It is the day we met and the day you conceived our pups, March 14th.”
I narrowed my brows; I didn‘t take Axton to be the sentimental type or even to give a shit about the day we met, especially as it was the day he set out to destroy my life over the beef he had going on with my father. “Why? Why would he even use it when I was never important to him.” I hadn‘t realized I said it out loud. Until I see his shoulders slump as he heaved a heavy breath.“I‘m sorry, I didn‘t mean to..”
“No, you have every right to feel that way. He had this date set the morning after you rejected us. You had every right to after everything that has happened. I told that dipshit not to do it the entire time we were with you and FeFe,” | snorted. I never told him my wolf‘s real name. “You told him my name was FeFe! The nerve of you naming me after a dog. I would kick your ass if you weren‘t pregnant!” Lexa blocks me out.
Khan tilts his head to the side like I lost the plot, “What‘s so funny? Are you okay?” He asks me. “I need to come clean. My wolf‘s name isn‘t FeFe. It‘s Lexa; I just told you that because the first night you came into my room, I thought you might try to hurt me. I wanted her to make her pay for abandoning me
with you,” I admit.
“Ah, thank the Moon Goddess, I didn‘t want to hurt your feelings, but that name was atrocious,” Khan says, and I raise an eyebrow at him. “But if it was her name, we could have come up with a nickname.”
“Like Lena?” | chuckle. He growls, “Yep, Axton came up with it when you first went missing; I always liked it, so you‘re stuck with it now,” he tells me before reaching in and grabbing a wad of cash.
“He won‘t notice?”
“Nah, he never checks the safe,” he sighs, trying to think because money helps, but I would still be trapped in the apartment. He chews his lip, “I have an idea, but it might make things worse for you here
until I can talk some reason into my human,” he tells me, shutting the safe and nudging me back to the bedroom. I put the cash under my pillow.
“Axton has a guard on the other side of the door,” he tells me. I sigh. Well, all this was pointless. “In case you need to escape quickly,” he adds, and my brows furrow in confusion.
“Say if the fire alarms went off,” he says, looking away from me. “You want me to start a fire?” I question.
“Well, no. But I mean, if you set the alarms off, Nathan would be forced to unlock the door to get you out,” he tells me. I sigh, knowing if I took that opportunity, it would definitely make things worse. Lexa whines in my head. She desperately wanted to see mum and Luke too, but I wondered if it would be worth the consequences when he found out.
“I will try to come up with something else, and you should sleep. I will keep watch,” he tells me. I chuckle and lay down, letting Khan tuck me in, when he suddenly lays beside me and spoons me.
