Luna on The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 62

Axton POV

Khan was restless inside me. Worried she would leave again, yet also upset because she was mad about him mark- ing her. Eli ordered takeout for a late-night snack/dinner for me, and I was just retrieving mine and Elena’s when Luke wan- dered into my kitchen. I don’t know what happened with her father. Louise has done nothing but cuss me out, and Elena remains tight-lipped. Grabbing two cans of coke from the fridge, I set them on the counter, only to find the kid still watching me.

“I want to see my sister,” the tiny Alpha demands. I raise an eyebrow at him. His dark hair was a mess on his head. His pajamas wrinkled, and blood coated his hands still. My brows furrow, knowing Eli told them to use the bathrooms here to clean themselves up. Yet, for some reason, Luke hadn’t both- ered.

Reaching back into the fridge, I find a can of lemonade and offer it to him. He stares at my hand like it might bite him before accepting it. “Did you eat your dinner?” I ask him. He nods his head. “I want to see my sister.” I sigh, grabbing some forks.

“Fine, I’ll let you see her. But I want you to tell me what happened with your father first.” I tell him, leaning on the counter. Luke turns his head to the door, clearly seeing if his mother is within earshot.

“You won’t tell my mom I told you?” He asks. I shake my head. “You tell me, and you can help me carry food up to my level, and I’ll let you see Elena.” I tell him. He chews his lip and fiddles with the can tab. Reaching over, I take it from him, cracking the lid and handing it back. I watch as he takes a sip,

glancing at the door once more.

“Mom filed for divorce. He locked her in the basement.” He tells me. I blink at him, shocked at what I’m hearing, when Khan adds his two cents worth. “Like you can judge, you have our mate locked in our

room and, before that, locked in that shitty apartment!” Khan snarls at me.

I growl at him and Luke jumps but surprisingly doesn’t run. “I wasn’t growling at you.” I tell him, he stares at me ner- vously as if he doesn’t believe me. “Then what happened, that seems extreme that your father would risk locking her up con- sidering the pack is actually hers.”

Luke’s brows furrow in confusion, and I realize I may have let more slip than he knew of. “What do you mean?”

“Now you’ve done it!” Khan hisses at me. I internally groan.

“Your father married into her pack, her father had the same prejudices as your dad about women running packs and being Alpha.”

“But my dad is an Alpha?” I nod my head.

“Yes, but a disgraced one. His pack abandoned him. True, he is Alpha born, but his own pack stripped him of his title. and abandoned him. Then he met your mother and her father handed the pack to him when he marked her mother, forced his own daughter to submit to him.” I inform him. Luke sips his drink thoughtfully.

“So my mother was supposed to be the original Alpha?” He questions. I nod at his words.

“And how do you know this?” He asks, and I can’t help but

smile at his inquisitive tone. Almost like he was challenging the information I was giving him.

“Council files and databases.”

“That explains why mom nearly beat his ass when he tried to kill Elena over the leaked tape. Also explains why her wolf is just as big as his.” Luke tells me with a shrug.

“Pardon?”

“Mom,” he sighs as if I should already know the answer. “When dad attacked her, she tried to make him stop. He threw her off and stomped on Elena’s head. Mom shifted and at- tacked him, but then…” Luke stops, his eyes moving to the counter, and he clears his throat, his eyes darkening slightly when I grip his chin, forcing him to look at me.

“Then what, Luke?”

“He grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed her wolf, forcing her to shift back. Mom was bleeding, and he re- fused to heal her if she didn’t submit. She didn’t want to, and I couldn’t understand what he meant until afterward, and I real- ized she challenged him by attacking him. But then mom did, she submitted, but not before she told him she only would if she could call an ambulance for Elena.”

“You saw all that?” I ask him, and his eyes well with tears, his lips quiver, and he pulls his face from my grip, looking back at the counter. “I wanted to help her, I tried, but Dad said if I did he would kill them both, he then smacked my bum with his belt because I bit him trying to get to stop hitting her.” My heart breaks for him, knowing his pain all too well.

“There is nothing you could have done, Luke. He is a

“There is nothing you could have done, Luke. He is a

grown man. You’re just a child,” I remind him. Luke sniffles, wiping his nose on his shirt sleeve before looking up at me.

“Why did you do it? Why did you leak that video?” He asks, and I run my fingers through my hair and let out a breath. “Because I wanted to get back at your father.”

“Because you’re a fucking twat!” Khan snaps.

“Do you regret it?” Luke asks.

I inhale and exhale, there was nothing I regret more. “Ev- ery day.” Luke nods, sipping his fizzy drink, and goes to leave.

“Don’t you want to see your sister?” I ask him and he stops. “You’ll still let me?”

“I said I would let you.” I point to one of the plates. “You can carry her food up to her.” His eyes light up, and he races to grab her plate. Luke follows me up to my room and I set my plate down on the hall stand, retrieving the key. Luke watches me for a second, speaking just as I set the key in the lock.

“You’re worried she will run again?” He asks.

“I know she will if she gets the chance.” I tell him, he glances away from my gaze, staring at the door.

“What?” I ask, knowing he is judging me. It makes me wonder if he thinks I am the same as his father. In a sense, I suppose I am no better.

“Elena only rejected you because dad would have killed. her. He promised her the pack, she trained all her life for the position, even I thought dad would let her be the first female Alpha, yet you expected her to give it up? Give up something

she worked her entire life for?”

“I am her mate, Luke.” I tell him. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“But she was also yours.” he whispers and chew my lip. “Pack is family. Elena didn’t want to reject you, but she had no choice. You did what you had to for what? Your pack because my Dad refused to give you more land? She rejected you be- cause her people needed her. Only difference is she only hurt you when she rejected you. You destroyed all our lives.”

“You seem to know more than you let on,” I tell him.

“Elena is my best friend. When it comes to her, I always lis- ten, even when I’m not supposed to. Not that it mattered, dad was just keeping her prisoner, so she would do all the work for him without him losing his title. Using her position in the pack to his advantage. Now you are doing the same thing, keeping her hostage because you want something from her.”

I shake my head. I don’t want it to be this way. “She has my sons, Luke.”

“And they’re all she has, Axton. Everything else you al- ready took from her.” Louise says behind me, making me jump. I didn’t even realize she followed us up.

Turning, I find her standing on the stairs. “Come, Luke, you can see Elena in the morning. You need to get to bed.” Luke huffs but sets Elena’s plate down on the hall stand be- fore stopping and looking up at me.

“Are you going to send us back to my dad?” He asks, and my eyes dart to Louise, who is listening and waiting for my answer. Eli has spent the vast majority of the night watching them. It never occurred to me that we never told them what

would happen with them.

“Definitely not. You can stay here or go wherever Elena is living?” I tell Louise.

“Nice try, Axton. I am not giving up my grandson’s loca- tion. If Elena wants you to know, she will tell you herself.” My shoulders drop in defeat, and Luke hurries to his mother, and they disappear.

Unlocking the door, I grab our food and step into the room, only to find Elena pacing inside by the window. I kick the door shut with my foot, and she glances at me. Yet I had no idea what was wrong with her. She looked on the verge of a panic attack.

“What’s wrong?” I ask her. She growls at me and continues pacing when Khan pipes up.

“Did it ever occur to you that maybe she has never been away from our sons? She is fretting for them, Axton. Blind fucking Freddy could see that. She’s basically a walking, talk- ing milk machine right now.” He growls angrily in my head.

Shit, he is right. One thing I forgot about she-wolves that had pups, when they are in distress without their babies, they start to fret. It explains why she’s constantly pumping, her body trying to force her back to our pups.

I walk over to the sitting area. “Elena!” I call out to her, but she only glances at me and continues to pace.

“I’ll let you leave and go back to them. But I want assur- ance you’ll come back,” I tell her, and she stops pacing to pay attention to me.
