Luna On The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 97
Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 22
“You left!” Axton yells at me.
“Because you gave me no choice, you’re why I left, maybe I shouldn’t have run the first time, I own
that, I admit that was a mistake. Fuck do I know that was a mistake, I lost every- thing, lost my best
friend, lost myself, and when you found us, I would have begged to be by your side and instead, you
re- jected me. Even then in my fucked up head I thought we would work it out, but… you know what?
I’m not doing this. You fucked up, I fucked up, but at least I own my mistakes.”
“You aren’t the only one that lost everything! I lost my
sons!”
“Did you, though? I still sent pictures, and I let you know they were okay. I didn’t have to do that. I could
have disap- peared for good, but I didn’t… You’re just angry because once I came back, you realized I
wasn’t going to be your bitch any- more, that I won’t be walked over, you realized I didn’t need you, or a
pack, anyone. You didn’t lose anything. I’m here now, and so are your sons; I didn’t have to bring them
this week- end. I chose to! So before you start making fucking demands, Axton, maybe start meeting
some of mine!”
Axton scoffs. “I haven’t demanded anything of you…”
“Really, you demanded to mark me, then demanded I not reject you again, demanded to see your
sons. I kept my promises, but you, every time I ask for something in return, it’s no! Or you threaten my
pack or threaten to take the boys. When have I threatened your life?” He goes to open his mouth, but I
hold up a hand, knowing exactly what he’s going to say.
“Your reputation isn’t your life; that’s ego. You destroyed my reputation when you leaked that video, a
video that al- most cost me my life and our sons. So those photos wouldn’t have physically hurt you,
not that I would have leaked them anyway, not when that would hurt our sons in the end any- way. So
tell me, Axton, when have I done the things you’ve done to me to you?”
“I’ve never threatened your life, not intentionally.”
“Yes, you have. Those boys in there are my life. The rea- son I get up each morning, it’s exactly why I
agreed to let you have them because I forgot they’re yours too.” Axton presses his lips in a line and
looks away. “I don’t want to fight with you, Axton. But I won’t let you walk all over me either.”
“So that’s it? You’ve just decided the bond doesn’t exist, doesn’t matter?”
“That’s up to you. I’ve seen how toxic bonds can be. The women on that ranch are proof of that, my
mother is proof of that, and I won’t be our son’s proof.” Axton nods his head and then storms off angrily,
and I shake my head. He’ll never get it until he sees his own ws and faults within himself instead of
everyone else.” Lexa sighs.
“What about Khan?”
“He owns Axton’s mistake, I swear the goddess got that shit wrong, and Axton was supposed to be the
wolf and Khan the humanity!” I chuckle because usually, the wolf was the an- gry dominant one, not the
human counterpart.
I put the rest of the groceries away before going back to the boys. Axton is lying beside them on the
floor. When his phone rings, he rolls, pulling it from his back pocket.
“I need to take this. Are you right to sit with them?” he asks me, refusing to look at me.
“Yes,” I find his question silly, but don’t tell him that; in- stead, just move to take his spot on the floor
while he leaves the room. Flicking the TV on, I turn it to the news station.
As expected, the new channels are parked out the front of the police station, waiting for statements and
saying what they suspect happened. Yet when I flick to another station, an emergency city broadcast
cuts the channel out. The news an- chor goes on to speak about the restaurant and what they found;
they list pictures of the missing people that were found and I sit up when the boy I sawes up on
the screen, and I swallow when they identify him as being from Axton’s pack.

Yet as the names are called out, I start to notice all of them are from Axton’s pack and my father’s. Yet
nothing pre- pares me for the next three faces that pop up on the screen- Alisha’s parents and,stly,
Tierney. I have no idea how I will tell my mother all this. It seems unfathomable that one person is
responsible for so many lives taken. Suddenly the TV turns off, and a feral growl sounds behind me as
Axton drops the remote back in myp.
“You didn’t tell me Alisha’s parents were a few of the miss- ing people,” I tell him, looking up at him.
“I was hoping we would find them alive,” he mutters.
“I need to tell my mother.” I shake my head, about to get to my feet, already dreading giving her that
news.
“She already knows; she was the one who reported them missing. She didn’t want you to worry.
They’ve been missing
since the first attack happened, just before you leftst time.” Axton tells me. She knew all this time and
said nothing. Even when I asked about them, she would say they were fine.
“I need to leave for an hour. Are you alright by yourself, or do you want toe with me?”
“Where are you going?”
“I have a pack meeting at the hall. My pack members are growing anxious. Most of those killed were
my people.” I nod my head and nce at the boys.
“Just let me chuck some warm clothes on the boys.”
“You want toe?” I nod my head; I didn’t want to stay here in this huge house by myself.
“Elena, you know they’ll call…”
“Luna? Yeah, a few of your officers called me Luna.” I shrug, scooping the boys up off the floor, and
Axton instantly
takes one.
“And that doesn’t bother you?” He asks.
“Nah, it’s fine, Lupha,” I snicker, climbing the stairs.
“Pardon?” I giggle to myself.
“Luna is fine. If that’s what they want to call me.”
“Why do I feel like I’m missing some inside joke?” Axton mumbles behind me.
