Luna On The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Sons Chapter 103
Alpha On The Hunt Chapter 28
“Know what?” Noleen asks,ing up the steps and stop- ping behind me.
“That you and Michelle are on patrol after dinner at the front gate,” I chuckle, and she groans.
“Really? Can’t I go with Lacy? Michelle never shuts up! The girl could talk the leg off an iron pot!”
Noleen whines and I chuckle, getting up to help with dinner.
Everyone set out on patrol after dinner while I help my mother and a few of the women clean up.
Throughout dinner, I am distracted by what Sondra told me and the bond tugging frantically, craving our
Axton. Even Lexa seems to be in a de- pressed mood.
My brief excitement at finally being home on my territory has dimmed quickly, but it also has me
worried. Sondra is still hiding something, and we still have the issue of who the Strigoi is or are. We
aren’t even sure if it is one person or air of them. Taking the rubbish to the bin, I toss the huge ck
bag in while my mother stacks the chairs back in the shed.
A few women stand around the bonfires. Their children are roasting marshmallows while they stand
around and chat. Walking back to my mother, I hear my phone start ringing and stop. Pulling it from my
pocket, I nce at it. I see Axton’s name pop up on the screen in a video call and I can’t help the stupid
grin that splits onto my face.
My mother nces at me, and I hold up the phone. “Take it. I will finish cleaning up.” She waves me
away, and I turn to head for the house.
Answering it, I walk back inside, knowing he probably wants to see the boys. “Is everything alright out
there?’ He
asks as I climb the steps, heading for my room.
“Yep, the girls are running patrols, and the boys are asleep,” I tell him.
“Did you have a chance to speak to Sondra?” He asks, and I hold a finger to my lips. He nods once,
and I head to my room, slip inside, trying not to let the door creak and wake the boys and close the
door.
I quickly wander over to the boys’ crib and turn the cam- era around so he can see them. Facing it back
the other way, he is smiling. “I already miss them, and you hogging my damn bed.” Heughs.
“You’ll see them Friday. I will make the appeal to the coun- cil once I get off the phone with you. If it
goes through, maybe you cane out here beforehand.” I tell him, sitting on the end of my bed, and
he nods his head.
“Or maybe youe over tomorrow?” He asks, and I roll
my eyes.

“I just got home! Besides, I don’t want people getting the wrong idea, thinking we are suddenly
together.”
“We are! You’re just too stubborn to admit it. Don’t make out that you don’t miss me. You forget I can
feel you!” He says cockily.
“It’s the bond!”
“Sure it is?” He winks at me.
“You’re a fool, and tomorrow I will be busy. I have to try to dig up some dirt on my father. He already
appealed to the
council to have the title changed. Marco dropped the paper- work offst night.” I tell him.
“Did he handle it, or do you want me to ring Marco?”
“No, he took care of it, but just means I now have no choice but to challenge him or find a way for him
to stand down. I really don’t want to have to make him submit.” I sigh. Lexa also worries, old fears
tainting the idea and instilling fear.
“Do it from here, then. You’ll have ess to the council files off myputer, and I can help.”
“It’s not that simple. I have looked into my father’s past before. There is nothing dating from before I
was born.”
“I can ask Marco or you could to get his help?” Axton of-
fers.
“No, I’m pretty sure Sondra has already, so whatever was covered up, I think it was before everything
went digital.”
“So you already checked the basements at the council?”
“No, that is why I want toe in, see if there are any old articles. Something about him at all. I
checked the council data when I was at your ce.” I tell him.
“That’s what you were doing before you left?” he asks, and I chew my lip. That wasn’t what I was
originally doing; I was looking into how Axton killed his father, but found nothing.
“Yeah,” I murmur.
“Why do I feel like you’re lying to me?” he asks.
“I check your search history. You know that, right?”
“Might as well tell him, Elena.” Lexa sighs. Either way, he would find out.
“I was trying to find out about your father’s death at first,” I admit. Axton presses his lip in a line.
“I’m sorry,” I tell him feeling a little guilty, and he nods.
“Not like I haven’t looked into your files. It’s fine. So do I need to worry about being ckmailed again?”
heughs.
“Oh, I have plenty of ckmail material. I don’t need the council data for that.” I snicker.
“I knew some women kept little ck books but didn’t think you were one and on your phone, of all
ces.” Iugh.
“That doesn’t bother you?” he questions.
“No, they predate me, and I noticed you haven’t slipped an entry into it since you met me,” I tell him.
“Yeah, I won’t lie. I did try, but Khan is a stubborn asshole. Even when you were gone, he made sure I
stayed away from women.” My chest pinches, but at least he admitted it and he thought I ran off with
Jake, so I can’t really me him for try- ing.
“I don’t think I would have gone through with it, anyway. Women repulse me now I’ve met you, so
thanks for that. Though I take care of my hands better now, the callouses were getting ridiculous.” he
snickers.
