Alpha King’s Lost Luna - Season 2 Episode 85

CASSANDRA

As Becky stared at me in confusion, I gestured down the hall.

“Follow me,” I said. “First, I need to wipe some of this blood off of me. It smells so awful I can hardly think straight.”

My a*sistant nodded. “Of course. Let’s get you cleaned up.”

We walked from the lobby down the hall to a private bathroom. It wasn’t accessible to patients and existed solely for our benefit. I’d stashed a few changes of clothes in the closet, and once my arms and face were free from the blood from Kane’s wound, Becky helped me get dressed in fresh clothes. She even braided my long copper hair back into an intricate style that kept the tresses away from my face.

talk.”

“Thank you,” I said gratefully, and she smiled at me.

“Of course,” she replied. “It’s the least I could do. Now, come on. Let’s get you some tea and then we can

I followed her into the meeting room and she immediately threw the kettle on. I sat down on one of the leather chairs and after a few minutes. Becky handed me a cup of my favorite tea. The sweet scent of jasmine comforted me greatly, as did the warmth of the cup.

“Ca*sy, what happened to you?” Becky spoke up after she settled into the chair opposite me. She leaned forward in anticipation, and her russet eyes bore into me intensely.

I took a moment to compose myself and then launched into everything that had happened. When I mentioned that Spike had died in the dungeon, she let out a gasp and nearly dropped her cup of tea,

“No,” she uttered, and her already big eyes grew larger.

We both knew how serious the situation had become. Spike’s untimely death meant the invention of the cure to the mysterious disease had been brought to a sudden halt.

“The good thing is that I kept records of every detail Spike had written down,” I rea*sured her. “Perhaps. they could still be helpful and you could find some intriguing points in there-”

“I

‘t know if that’s something I could do alone…” she said, and she bit down on her lower l*p. “With us working together, maybe, but alone…”

I shook my head fiercely. “I might not be able to be here to help you. But I believe in you Becky and think you’re more than capable of making it happen.”

“I don’t understand,” she said with a puzzled look on her face. “What do you moan?”

Chapter 185 It’s going to be a fight.

I took a deep breath and then told her about Kaleb’s request, or rather, his order to come North with him to Yurene.

“No!” she uttered, and she shook her head. “No, no, no! You can’t go with him. How could that evil foreigner do this?”

“All I know is that this must have been well–planned from the beginning.” I lamented. “My only regret is that I didn’t see through him from the start. Maybe if I had. I don’t know.”

“What about the Alpha King?” Becky wondered. “The Alpha King wouldn’t allow this to happen, especially not to you. The foreign king might be able to pull this off under the protection of old Beta, but once the Alpha King returns, he’d have nowhere to go. He’d never allow that villain to take you away to Yurene.”

I shook my head again. “That’s my second request of you, Becky. Kaleb must have done something to stop the Alpha King from returning, so there’s no one able to stop him at present. As I said, this all must have been planned for a while.”

I set my cup down on the table and then leaned forward. “Becky, I want you to reach out to Wild Crawler. I think something terrible is going to happen to this country. I’m not sure how many people would keep their loyalty to the Alpha King, but I’m certain that at least Wild Cralwer and my old friends there would be reliable. I want you to tell them everything I’ve told you about what’s happened here and ask Alpha Rayden to send a group of trusted guards to Anemond. I know this all sounds drastic, but we need to make sure that you can carry out your study of the cure without any threat. His guards will be able to protect you.”

Becky’s expression was weary and she hesitated for a moment.

“If there are any difficulties, I’m sure Lord Kane would be of some help as well,” I a*sured her. It’s safe to say he’s on our side in all of this.”

She nodded seriously and her expression softened. “It’s going to be a fight, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” I confirmed. “Unfortunately, it is.”

Silence hung in the air again and then Becky cleared her throat,

“Do you think Silas is involved in this mess?” she wondered quietly. “And if he was, do you think he was the one who detained the Alpha King deliberately? As far as we know, he was on a mission with the Alpha King and he’s a member of the Beta family…”

I

“I don’t know,” Jadmitted. “I don’t know Silas as much as I want to. I have no idea if he’s an upstanding man or if he’s devious like his father. I know that’s not of much comfort…”

“Forget it,” Becky said as she shook her head. “I know it’s a stupid question. I shouldn’t even be thinking of Silas at this point.”

“It wasn’t a stupid question at all,” I a*sured her gently. “I know you’re concerned and I don’t blame you at all. I wish I could offer you some kind of comfort. All I can do is hope that Silas isn’t collaborating with his father. With his military influence, things could grow even more complicated.”

Becky appeared as if she were going to cry for a moment but then she nodded.

Chapter 185 It’s going to be a fight

“All we can do is hope,” she whispered, and she reached under the n*eck of her blouse and pulled a small n*ecklace out. It was white gold with a moon and star pendant. She k*ssed it gently and then glanced out the window. Though I couldn’t hear the words she whispered, I had a feeling it was a prayer to the Moon Goddess.

I was jealous of her. I wished I could use prayer as a tool to soothe myself, but my relationship with the Goddess was too complicated for that.

Of course, now was as perfect a time as any to try.

So, I whispered a small prayer for strength of my own and then rose from my seat. As much as I didn’t want to go, it was time to see Kaleb now. Though I knew Finnick and Erika wouldn’t be mistreated, I was still worried about them. My poor sweet Finnick was probably so scared and confused. I needed to be strong for his sake and do what was right.

“Get in touch with Wild Crawler,” I told Becky. “Tell them everything I told you and make arrangements with Rayden. Meanwhile, hide out in the back room. Lock the clinic door while you work, I put sedatives in Kane’s gla*s so hopefully he won’t wake up until late tonight.”

Becky nodded and then got up and came over to me. She drew me into a hug and nestled her head into me. We held each other for a moment and the warm gesture was almost enough to make me cry. She was more than just my a*sistant. She was my sister, and I was grateful to have her in my life.

“Be safe, Ca*sy,” she whispered. “Please.”

“I will,” I a*sured her. “Please, do the same, Becky”

We pulled apart and she nodded. “I will.”

I gave her a small smile and then left the room. As I walked to the door, my heart pounded in my chest. but I forced myself to stay strong

This was going to be a battle I had to fight alone, both for the ones I loved and for myself.
