Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna novel Chapter 375

Emma Frost, banished from pack activities, witnessed Ethan strangling me from afar, her cries unheard and unheeded as her wolf cowered in fear. She had been watching from behind a pillar, too terrified to intervene.

I was dragged to where Emma stood, my expensive shoes lost, designer socks torn, and manicured nails broken. The pain was excruciating, my wolf howling internally from the rough treatment.

The guards dumped me and my wheelchair beside Emma, warning us to stay away from Silvercrest Pack territory. "If either of you steps foot on pack lands again without Alpha Stone's permission, we won't be so gentle," one guard growled, his eyes flashing with werewolf warning.

Emma rushed to my side, tending to my injuries with tears streaming down her young face. "Mommy, are you okay? You're bleeding!"

Ignoring her daughter's concern, I slapped Emma, berating her for being useless. "You couldn't even warn me in time!"

Despite my anger, I realized Emma's usefulness in my current helpless state and decided against further abuse. I coldly demanded to be helped back into my wheelchair.

Emma's small wolf whimpered but obeyed, still loyal despite the mistreatment.

(Ethan's POV)

Back in my Alpha Vehicle, I struggled to contain my rage. My wolf paced restlessly beneath my skin, wanting to inflict unimaginable pain on Victoria without killing her, making her suffer for her crimes against my daughter and mate.

The leather steering wheel creaked under my grip as I fought for control. Maxwell sat silently beside me, knowing better than to speak when my wolf was this agitated.

I thought of getting evidence from Connor Blackthorn to bring Victoria to pack justice through proper channels rather than vigilante violence. Legal retribution would be more satisfying than a quick death.

Remembering Olivia's accusations and Connor's initial claims of having evidence of Victoria's involvement in James Knight's murder, I questioned Connor's sudden retraction. Something had changed his mind about cooperating.

I recalled seeing Connor with Victoria at the Moonlight Manor and Connor's protectiveness towards Emma. The way he had shielded the young girl from harm was telling.

I realized that Emma was Connor's weakness, the key to making the imprisoned wolf cooperate. His paternal instincts toward her could be leveraged.

Arriving at the Northern Territory Detention Facility, I learned that Connor refused to see anyone. The guard informed me he had been completely uncooperative since his arrest.
