The Enemy Alpha Wanted His Heartless Luna Chapter 06

The smile froze on Brandon’s face.

“What did you just say?”

He turned to look at the speaker.

It was Claire, a maid who lived near the neighboring pack house.

With a basket full of groceries hanging from her arm, Claire craned her neck to get a better look at him.

“I saw it with my own eyes last night! I was out for a walk when I saw a she-wolf in a wedding dress heading toward Bloodmoon Pack. She never came back out. Who else could it have been but Grace?”

“Bloodmoon Pack?”

Brandon’s brows knitted together, and the smile vanished from his face.

Garrett Beaumont, the Alpha of Bloodmoon Pack, was already his biggest rival. And now, after the Alpha Ball, he had returned to his territory too.

Holden tugged at Brandon’s arm.

“Don’t listen to Claire. Her eyesight has never been great…”

“My eyesight?” Claire snapped, clearly offended. “That silver moon hair comb in the bride’s hair belonged to Grace’s mother! It even has our pack’s signature blue sapphire set into it. I’ve been alive for over sixty years. Are you telling me I can’t recognize our own pack’s traditions?”

Brandon yanked his arm free of Holden’s grip and tried to reach me through the Mind Link.

But there was nothing. He couldn’t reach me at all.

With no other option, he called Trevor. Trevor answered almost immediately.

“Brandon, I was just about to call you! My sister’s gone. She’s nowhere to be found. What are we supposed to do?”

Brandon’s voice rose sharply.

“What the hell were you doing last night? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her?”

Trevor sounded so panicked that his voice nearly cracked.

“I… I went to my room to sleep. How was I supposed to know she’d…”

Brandon hung up before he could finish.

Then he strode toward my house.

“Brandon, wait up!”

Holden hurried after him.

Trevor had just turned the corner when he nearly collided with Brandon.

“Brandon! She even took a bunch of her things from her room! What are we going to do now…?”

Leah quickly stepped in to reassure him.

“Don’t panic. Grace has always been stubborn, but she has a soft heart.”

“She’s probably just angry and trying to scare us. Give her a couple of days to cool off, and she’ll come back on her own.”

They all wanted to believe that was true, but none of them could be sure.

After all, when had Grace ever left without saying a word?

Trevor followed close behind, muttering under his breath the whole way.

“I knew something was going to happen last night…”

“My sister told me I was a terrible person. She’s cared more about me than even our dad has, my whole life. She’s never said anything like that to me before.”

“She could’ve hit me or screamed at me. I wouldn’t have cared. But she just said it so calmly, without a hint of emotion, like she was talking about someone else’s life!”

Holden’s face went pale as he listened. He couldn’t help glancing at Brandon.

“Could our pack’s old legend actually be true…?”

“If it is, will she even still consider me a friend?”

Brandon didn’t answer.

Trevor caught up with them again.

“Alpha Brandon, say something! What’s going to happen to my sister…?”

“Stop imagining the worst.”

Brandon cut him off, his voice low and firm.

“I refuse to believe some ridiculous curse like that actually exists.”

Even so, he quickened his pace.

Leah hurried after them, lifting the hem of her wedding dress. Gasping for breath, she caught Brandon by the sleeve.

“Brandon, slow down… We need to figure out what to do first, so we can…”

“A plan? Another plan? Why does everything have to come with a plan?”

Brandon turned on her, his voice icy.

“During the Luna selection, I wanted to give Grace my Moonstone to put her mind at ease. You told me we needed to find a way to make her stop worrying about our pack’s old legend. I listened to you.”

“Then, when we were acting as Moon Companions, you said we could use the opportunity to hold a proper proposal ceremony. You told me to keep it a secret because it would make the surprise more special. I listened to you then, too.”

“And now you’re wearing her wedding dress and showing up at my wedding. You said it was all to teach Grace to appreciate what she has with me.”

He stopped and stared straight at Leah.

“Leah, are you actually trying to help me, or are you trying to ruin everything?”

Leah froze. When she finally spoke, her voice had grown much quieter.

“I… I was only trying to do what was best for both of you.”

Brandon pinched the bridge of his nose, frustration written all over his face.

“Go home for now. The last thing Grace needs is to see you.”

Holden hurried over to smooth things over.

“Come on, Leah. Just stay out of this for now.”

Leah bit her lip, looking deeply wounded.

“I’m just upset on Brandon’s behalf. He’s always been so good to Grace, always thinking about her and putting her first, and she still…”

“Leah.”

Brandon finally stopped and turned to face her. There wasn’t a trace of warmth left in his expression.

“Go home.”

Leah opened her mouth, but in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to say another word.

Brandon turned away from her and continued toward Garrett’s territory.
