Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 240

ASHER

Much to our dismay and agitation, the sorceress mouth was very tight. No matter
what we tried. Kane and I cou answers out of her. She was well-trained and her
expression refined eerily calm and aloof no matter what question

asked of her.

Thankfully, there were a few facts we knew to be true right away just by looking
at her. It wasn't difficult to surmise from her dress that she was from the North.
She also shared the same tilt of her head that seemed to be a cultural gesture
amongst the Yurenians. I'd seen Kaleb do the same thing many times while he
was here in Anemond, so I knew she was from his country.

As we continued our interrogation, I grew worried about Silas and the soldiers,
but luckily, after half an hour or so, they awoke from their magic-induced slumber.
Apart from feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented, they seemed to be fine, but the
atmosphere around camp was tense and unpleasant.

This Northern sorceress had caused a big quarrel between Silas and Kane. Silas
thought the sorceress needed to be “dealt with” immediately, while my
stepbrother believed she could be an important figure from whom we could get
crucial information. The Beta, unsurprisingly, disagreed and thought Kane was
idealizing the situation since we couldn't get even a syllable out of her mouth.

As much as I didn’t want to admit it. Silas was right. The longer the sorceress
was alive, the more dangerous things would be. Not to mention, she was a magic
user. What if she used some sort of sorcery to contact her accomplice? Surely
she wasn't alone in her mission, and I wasn't sure what else could happen if she
were to get loose.

But there was one other thing I was concerned about, one I didnt vocalize to
Kane and Silas. If the sorceress was sent from Yurene, would she know anything
about Cassandra? Would her life or death affect Cassandra's situation and
livelihood in the savage Northern country?

Though I knew certain matters were objectively more pressing, Cassandra would
always remain at the forefront of my thoughts. Though she wasn't here, the
beautiful healer was the most important thing to me, and she permeated my mind
more than anything else.

I didn’t speak as Kane and Silas argued with one another until Kane blurted out a
statement that made me stop in my tracks.

“What if the North does something bad to Cassandra because we killed this
sorceress?” he demanded, his violet eyes flashing intensely as he stared at
Silas. “Is that a risk that you're willing to take, Silas?”

The Beta didn't say anything. He ran his hand through his dark brown hair and
then turned to face me. His golden irises were soft, as if he was sympathetic to
Kane's mention of my mate.

While we all knew Kane's suggestion was not very possible, we couldn't
eliminate the possibility because we didn’t know the sorceress intention. The only
thing we knew for certain was that she had no intention to kill me, otherwise, she
would have just used some type of deadly poison or magic as she sat there
before us.

So what did she want?

And what did her master want:

Much to our surprise, the sorceress laughed. It was a dry one, a cynical laugh

than amusement. She took a moment goak, and when the dol, her vore wots

Chapter 210)

My eyebrows creased together. Do you know Cassandra Kellerhand how she is
doing Is she safe

The sorceress snorted and rolled her eyes again. “I know nothing about the
woman, except for the the queen soon

My stomach dropped and my jaw nearly fell with it.

“Queen” I repeated back coarsely as my throat tightened.

“My king is obsessed with the healer and couldn't wait to claim her as his, the
sorceress remarked bitterly. She narrow. eyes at me. “The king didn’t want her
former lover to impede the wedding, so he sent me to kill you.”

Before I could realize what I was doing, I hinged and grabbed the sorceress by
the throat. My claws extended and dug int the soft skin of her neck, She let out a
soft cry, but the pitiful sound meant nothing to me. My vision was tinted red with
anger and I could hardly think straight.

“Did Cassandra agree to marry him?” I demanded. 1

Despite my hold on her, the sorceress managed a laugh. “Why wouldn't she
agree? He's the king of Yurene.

For the briefest moment, I considered squeezing further to silence the sorceress
forever. It would be easy enough. I had a tight grip around her and it wouldn't
take much to snap her neck. Though I wasn’t one for violence. I had no qualms
about hurting this would-be assassin.

But instead. I released my chokehold, and as she fell to the ground, the world
around me began to grow blurry. The camps, the soldiers. Silas, and Kane... all
faded away. All I could see in my mind was Cassandra. Her big beautiful emerald
eyes, her full lips. I saw them fell me goodbye to me..

No. No, this couldn’t be. She couldn’t marry him.

I couldn't let this happen. I had to see her.

I began to walk away without a second thought. In fact, I could hardly think at all,
I was so consumed with my mission to see her. I needed her in front of me right
away, Wegalla be damned. What good was it reclaiming my throne if she would
never be beside me again?

Silas and Kane tried to get to stand in my way

to stop

“Asher, she’s lying,” Kane insisted. “She’s trying to agitate you. It's all a trap-"

I growled and shoved him away, attacking them as if they were my enemies
rather than my friends. While part of me wondered if what the sorceress said was
true or not, I couldn't think straight. There was a strong chance that the woman
was trying to vex me since I'd thwarted her mission, but I didn’t care My natural
instincts had taken over, and as I stood there in the forest, I didn’t feel like myself
anymore.

Without my mate, nothing was worth fighting for. I'd always known that and I
never wanted to feel alone again. I needed her, no matter what the cost. If she
was angry with me for coming after her, I would kneel at her feet and beg for her
forgiveness. I would kiss her a million times over and swear my endless love to
her. The rest of the world didn’t matter. All I knew was that I had to see
Cassandra.

I had to make sure she was still mine, still my Cora

It was the only thought on my mind, the only one that t

truly mattered.
