The Alpha's Unwanted Luna (by Miss L) novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199

105 – Ryker

How on earth did I miss this? There’s no way we overlooked something this big.

“Actually, it could be possible if Kennedy’s right and Amy is alpha-born,” Alpha said, trying to keep me grounded. “Someone must have shown her how to suppress her aura. But if she can do that, it doesn’t change much for me.” I needed to stay calm, to keep my head clear despite the storm brewing inside me.

“So, you’re saying I should kill them both on sight? No hesitation, no questions?” I pressed, wanting his honest take. I’ve never doubted a kill before, but this time it felt different—too personal because of Kennedy. I couldn’t just kill on a whim simply because I was angry.

“If Amy is truly involved like it seems, she’s already tried to kill your mate multiple times and would keep trying if given the chance,” Alpha answered firmly. “So yes, I’d kill Amy immediately. Janelle, though? I don’t think she’s as deep into this—she’s just always been around Amy.”

“I need to check on Danny. Janelle is one of his favorites,” I muttered, the thought gnawing at me.

“RYKER, STOP!” Kennedy’s voice stopped me as I headed toward the truck.

“Lamb, you can’t come this time. I’m sorry. I don’t want you to see what’s coming,” I said, my voice low but resolute.

“No way I’m staying behind! Ryker, we need answers. Amy might be involved in my parents’ death. She had me kidnapped. She wants to be Luna and has never hidden that ambition. But if Claude is controlling her, what’s his endgame? There’s no way he’s helping her rise above him. I need this as much as you do,” Kennedy insisted, her eyes fierce with determination.

“Alright, everyone. Grab Finn. We need Amy. He has to force the mate bond to bring her to us. If that fails, I’ll command her. By now, she has to realize we hold her mate and the warriors she’s built,” I ordered, urgency sharpening my tone.

I pulled Kennedy close, feeling the exhaustion in her frame. We were all drained, but her human body wasn’t made for this kind of relentless stress.

“How are you so calm about all this? Most people—even omegas—hate talking about war and death. Not to mention what we did earlier to Dirk,” I said, curiosity lacing my tone.

She shrugged but avoided my gaze, staring out the window instead. “Maybe because I’ve been around wolves my whole life.”

“But that—”

“Not just any wolves. Alpha wolves. Remember, Jeremiah and I were practically treated like twins back then. Uncle James never sugarcoated the darker side of being an alpha. He said so many crave power but don’t grasp the responsibility it carries. When you fight, it’s not just the fighters who suffer. He made sure we all understood that. Especially when it comes to taking a life. He taught us to never take that decision lightly—but also not to hesitate when someone won’t show you the same respect.”

Her words hung in the air as the truck rolled forward, the night thick with tension and unspoken fears.
