Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna

"She really said that?"

Kenneth was fuming as he listened to Wendy's words.

He couldn't believe it.

After all the years of friendship between him and Lucas, Aurora still dared to treat

his sister like she meant nothing.

If things continued this way, was that bond he had with Lucas going to be completely worn down?

Kenneth couldn't afford to lose someone like Lucas as an ally. Just the thought of it made him uneasy.

He and Wendy were thinking the same thing-Aurora had come into the picture much later.

There was no way Lucas would disregard years of brotherhood for a woman, especially not to the point of choosing her over his

oldest friend.

After all, women came and went-friends were for life.

Kenneth believed that, and he was sure Lucas understood that too.

Trying to shake the discomfort from his chest, Kenneth pushed the question. "So, what did Lucas say?"

Wendy hesitated, unsure how to respond. The truth was, she hadn't exactly been treated kindly either.

Kenneth narrowed his eyes as she dodged the question. He didn't like what her silence implied.

"Why aren't you answering me? Don't tell me... Lucas took Aurora's side?"

Wendy still avoided giving a straight answer.

Instead, she said flatly, "If you have time, you should come back and see for yourself. It's not something I can explain in just a

few words."

Kenneth frowned deeply. Something felt off about all this.

"I'm swamped right now. It's not easy for me to leave."

"Then when will it be?" Wendy pressed.

She was done waiting.

Maybe she didn't mean as much to Lucas as her brother did, but she couldn't stand watching Aurora strut around like she owned the place any longer.

Hearing her insistence, Kenneth sighed and began thinking things through.

It was true that he couldn't just drop everything and fly home.

His responsibilities abroad were heavy, and their aging parents relied on him. The company was practically resting on his

shoulders.

Wendy was far too impulsive-he couldn't possibly leave things in her hands.

If he were to return, he'd need to get everything in order first.

"Don't worry. When I have time, I'll give you a heads-up before I come back. But

for now, don't go head-to-head with Aurora.

Keep a low profile and know your place."

Wendy's heart sank.

She never expected her own brother to speak to her like that, telling her to keep her head down and "know her place"?

The words stung more than she wanted to admit.

Still, she didn't have much of a choice. As long as she could stay in the house and remain close to Lucas, she still had a shot at

winning him over.

She didn't know when, or even if, that opportunity would come, but staying gave her hope.

"Alright, I get it. Just make sure you call me first if you decide to come back." Kenneth gave a brief "Mm" before hanging up without another word.

Wendy stared at her now-black screen, stunned into silence.

With even her brother taking that stance, she knew she had no room to act out. For the next few days, she needed to behave

herself.

After all, who knew what Aurora might do if she stepped out of line again? She had cried so hard earlier, practically begged to benoveldrama

allowed to stay.

And she wasn't about to risk being thrown out again.
