Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 177

The Fall–1

Sebastian’s POV

“Alpha, would you like me to bring you something from the cafeteria?” Rayne asked, but I just continued facing the floor–to–ceiling window, my mind nowhere near the office. The view outside was impressive, with distant mountains gleaming in the sunset. All of it my territory, one of the reasons I’d chosen this office.
