The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

94 – Ryker

The soft glow of an early summer sunrise gently stirs me from sleep, but the lingering warmth from being close to Kennedy keeps me rooted in place. This moment feels like pure bliss—right here, right now. I pull her even closer, and a faint, sweet giggle escapes her lips.

“What’s so funny, Lamb?” I murmur.

“We have training to get to, you horny fool,” she replies with a teasing smile.

“They can wait just a little longer,” I say, shifting my weight and rolling on top of her, nuzzling into the delicate curve of her neck. Another soft laugh bubbles up from her.

“You know it won’t be just a few minutes. Besides, you have to set a good example,” she insists, though her eyes sparkle with mischief.

“I’ve been setting a good example my entire life. They can manage without me for a bit.” I press my hips against her, eliciting a low, delicious moan that sends a thrill through me.

“Well, when you put it that way… maybe we can sneak in a little fun in the shower. If you think you can handle it without reinjuring yourself, that is,” she says with a playful smirk.

“Is that a challenge, mate?” I ask, raising an eyebrow.

“Is it working?” she teases back.

“Watch out for the silver-tipped ones, assholes. And quit flirting with my mate—go find your own,” I warn, linking arms with them and Josh, who bursts out laughing.

The training session flies by. I don’t even break a sweat while the rest of the team is drenched and gasping for breath. They’ll recover soon enough, but I can’t help wondering if the mate bond is giving me an edge. If I feel this strong after two hours of intense work, what will my stamina be like once I’ve fully marked Kennedy?

Unfortunately, I don’t get to discuss these thoughts with her. My mother steps in, pulling Kennedy away to focus on planning and then to meet some pack members from the East side. I forgot she hasn’t even seen the entire pack yet. I’ll have to fix that—soon.

Later, my dad joins Josh and me to go over the books we took from Claude. I’ll let Kennedy decide what to do with them, but yesterday Claude seemed desperate for something, and I’m determined to uncover what it was.

I’ve assigned two of my most stealthy warriors to watch Claude’s every move. He’s bound to slip up, and I’m hoping that taking his research has thrown him off enough to make a critical mistake sooner rather than later.
