Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 19: Too Late to Call Me Sister–1

Thea’s POV

1 adjusted my hoodie and scarf, trying to look somewhat presentable rather than like someone who’d barely survived a lethal attack. The soft material caught against the bandages, making me wince.

“Mommy, why are you wearing a hat inside?” Leo’s suspicious eyes peered at me through the video call. We’d finally managed to connect after days of delays – mostly because the wolfsbane’s aftereffects had left me barely able to stay conscious for more than five

minutes at a time. But today I felt stronger.

I leaned back against the headboard, grateful for its support. Leo still didn’t know what had happened to me. As a child with Alpha bloodlines, he was especially sensitive to danger. I intended to keep him in the dark about this forever.

“The house has been a bit chilly lately,” I lied, knowing even humans would find that excuse weak given the werewolf’s naturally elevated body temperature. Guilt gnawed at me for the deception, but it was necessary.

“But Mom, your neighborhood has central heating,” he pointed out, his brow furrowing in that way that made him look exactly like his father.

I sighed internally. That was the trouble with having a clever wolf pup. But I’d been lying to him since his grandfather’s assassination. Part of me felt like the worst mother ever, but protecting him came first.

“What fun things did you do today, baby?” I redirected.

His frown instantly transformed into a brilliant smile. “Mom! It was amazing! Grandpa shifted and took me exploring! We ran all along the beach and up these cliff trails to this waterfall behind the hills! His fur was like silver waves in the sunlight!” he exclaimed, joy

making his green eyes sparkle. “He ran so fast and the wind was whooshing past my ears like we were flying!”

I forced myself to keep smiling. “That sounds wonderful, sweetheart.” How I wished I could have witnessed his first experience of that freedom. It was one of the most precious werewolf family traditions – elders in wolf form guiding their pups through nature.

Something 1, as a wolfless mother, could never give him.

“Grandma says Grandpa almost never shifts anymore, but he did it specially for me! She took lots of videos to send you. I wasn’t scared at all riding on his back, his wolf form is so majestic!
