Claimed By The Dangerous Alpha King: Betrayed Luna Novel by Gorgeous Aliyah

Day three

No word from Aston

No summons, no message, nothing.

I tried to push aside the disappointment, telling myself I was bebig foolish (which I actually was) since I should have been having the time of my life with him not in it, but I had the guts to be worried about him. To even miss him?! I was truly starting to go mad and it was all the fault of that damned moon goddess.

It had happened though, there was only so much I could do about the foolish feelings bubbling up in my belly for the man who’s the very cause of most of my misfortune. “The same man who saved you twice.” The little voice in my head whispered to me and I felt like slamming my head again the wall to hurt whoever was speaking inside it but I knew I would only be hurting myself. I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on something else, anything at all but nothing was forthcoming-

He’s the one who imprisoned me, after all. But I couldn’t shake off the feeling that something had shifted between us. The way he looked at me, the way he saved me…it felt like he cared.

But maybe I was just reading too much into it. Maybe I was just a pawn in his game of power. I could make such sense made the dire consequences it I didn’t show up.

I tried to focus on my daily routihe, but my mind kept wandering back to him. What had I done wrong? Why was be ignoring me now? I needed him to call for me even though he had nothing to ask of me. He Always used to send me on petty errands and no I would not mind if he sent me one.

I hated that I was thinking about him at all. I hated that I felt drawn to him, despite everything. Tears were almost dripping from my eyes because of how frustrated I was, I never know it was possible to miss a man this much. I had mistaken guards for him more than once, I had started to see him even when he was not around and the sound of his voice lingered in my head like a bad smell.

“It’s just the mate pull,” I told myself, trying to sound convincing “It doesn’t mean anything.” There had to be a reason for me to be so interested in my captor and it was the bond between us. There w

nothing else to blame.

But the mate pull or not, I couldn’t deny the way my heart raced at the thought of him. The way the mere smell of him could scatter my train of thoughts and have me stuttering like a fool. My head was spinning in all the wrong ways just thinking about how hot he was.

Part of me could not help but wonder if I had done something to offend him. He left quite abruptly the day he did and there was nothing I could do to stop him. I wondered if that had anything to do with his radio silence. Although, I had managed to wonder million things over the course of the weekend.

That he travelled, that he was having a good time with hot women from the pack and had forgotten that I existed but more consistently, I genuinely wondered if I had done anything to offend him because if I had then I was deeply sorry.

He might be my captor but he had saved my life more than once (even if he was the reason I was in danger in the first place) it did not change the fact that he saved my life and he did it more than once, for that I wanted to thank him.

1 wanted to really thank him for saving my life and probably apologise for anything that I had done wrong to make him suddenly loose interest in me.

I could be delusional at times but it was clear as the light of day that Aston was interested in me, even if it was a little, he was. 1 saw it, the maids saw it and even Brax saw it.

They all pointed it out so I knew I wasn’t being delusional. I needed to know why that interest died again. Were we back to where we started?

A million thoughts overwhelmed me and so it was hard to think straight.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Later that evening. Brax appeared at my door.

“Hey, Kira Can I talk to you for a minute?” he said and I was puzzled. Brax just usually say what he had to say not ask for permission. I was curious if it had anything to do with Aston, the serious look on his face getting me really tense. I noticed he was dressed up really nicely in black trousers and a pressed like shirt with a sagging breast pocket. His hair was neater than usual and he smelled really nice.

I nodded, and he entered the room. “What’s up, Brax?”

He took a deep breath. “Kira, I have to tell you something. I’ve been wanting to say this for a while now.” He started and I could feel the atmosphere in the room changing to a very tense one.

“Sure Brax, go ahead. What is it that you want to tell me?” I asked and we both took a deep breath before he continued.

“This might sound a little shocking and unexpected but I need you to understand that it isn’t at all. I’ve felt this way since the very first time that I laid eyes on you….I really like you, Kira arid I want to officially court you.” He finished

My heart skipped a beat. I hadn’t expected this. But as I looked at Brax, I couldn’t deny the flutter in my chest. He was handsome, kind, and he genuinely cared about me. All his actions finally made sense, I had always thought that he was too nice for someone that didn’t want anything in return but it all made sense now. It was just too bad that I was starting to see him as a friend.

“Brax, I’m flattered,” I said, trying to sound calm. “But I’m a slave here. I don’t know if this is even possible.”

Brax’s face lit up with determination. “That’s not going to be a problem for much longer, Kira. I’m working on a plan to get

you freed.”

My heart soared at his words. Freedom! It was all I had been dreaming of

“Really?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper, doing it best to hide the excitement that I was feeling.

Brax nodded. “Yes, really. And once you’re free, I want to be with you. I want to explore this feeling between us.”

I felt a smile spread across my face. Maybe, just maybe, this was the start of something new. Something good.

“Thank you, Brax,” I said, feeling a sense of hope. “That means a lot to me.”

Bron smiled back, his eyes shining with warmth. “I mean it, Kira, I want to help you. I want to be with you.” He continued

I felt a warmth spread through my chest and a feeling of confusion too. Aston had out rightly rejected me so he would not care if I was with Brax, would he? Not that it mattered if he did, Brax was offering to get me out of my bondage, out of Aston’s shackles of slavery, I would be fool not to accept the offer of such a good man.

As we talked, I realized that I had been so focused on Aston that I hadn’t seen the possibility of something special with Brax. But now, I was starting to see it. And it did not feel bad it scary.

“Brax, can I ask you something?” I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

“Anything, Kira,” he replied, his eyes locked onto mine as he smiled at me from ear to ear.

“Do you really think we can make this work?” I asked, my heart racing with excitement. “I mean, I’m a slave, and you’re…you’re a prince. Freeing me might not change how people feel about me or how they viewed me and I won’t want you to have to suffer just because of me. I don’t think I’m worth all that trouble.”

Brax smiled, his eyes shining with determination. “I know it won’t be easy, Kira. But I’m willing to try. I want to be with you, no matter what”

I felt a warmth spread through my chest, and I knew that Brax was the kind of man I wanted to be with, to find happiness with He was the kind of man I was willing to give a second chance to love for

Brax’s face lit up with a smile, and he pulled me into a hug. “The going to make sure you have nothing to worry about if you choose to be with me.”
