Alpha King’s Lost Luna by Aubrey Pepper

Chapter 235 

ASHER 

I had never expected the condition to be so dangerous for me. Of course, expectation was one thing and reality was another. 

I stared down at the killer whose throat had just been slitted. He was the third killer we’d been forced to take the life of this week. Though these would-be assassins were not very skilled, they all seemed to be loyal to their master. None of them had said who sent them here to kill the king before their deaths, but Kane and Silas had their theories. My stepbrother thought it could be just about anyone, but the Beta assumed the man who hired these assassins was his own father. 

Though Oliver was the most suspected of the bunch, Kane suggested that it wasn’t just him who wanted to use this chance to take the crown. 

The second and third killers came only half a day apart, which meant our whereabouts had been exposed. It came as no surprise to me that our route had been compromised. Since we had taken command of the Myriad and taken a few elite soldiers with us, Oliver must have gotten the news from his spies. The old Beta had eyes everywhere in Wegalla. As much at I hated to admit it, we were never truly safe from his watchful gaze. 

If only I’d known that Oliver Moses was so wicked before all of this had gotten so out of hand. I would have dismissed him from my court much earlier bamshed him and his villainous family to the borderlands, 

All except Silas, of course. The youngest son of Moses had been a worthy ally and I was grateful to have him at my 

side

“That’s not enough” Kane remarked, his face worried. The more Packs we visit, the more people will know what situation their Alpha King is m. It might incur more and more killers from different parts of the country. 

“Then what do you suggest we do?” I wondered as frustration swelled within me. “Do you have a plan?” 

My stepbrother ran his hand through his hair and then nodded. Sort of. What we need to do is figure out which Packs are ging to fight for the Alpha King once this war begins We need to know who is going to have your back once things in Wegalla escalate. That being said, we need to keep you hidden away for now. Allow me to present myself and do the talkin Sala presence will also show them the king’s authority

A fake king? An imposter? 

I wasn’t sure how to feel about this plan. 

“Do you intend for one of the soldiers to pose as me?” I asked him 

He shook his head. “A soldier wouldn’t work Warriors of the Myriad have all gone through intense training. They’re too hardened to pass as a king and have no experience or opportunities to witness how a royal is meant to behave.” 

I stared at Kane for a moment and then understood what his brother truly meant. It was a crazy idea, one I didn’t with 

I began to speak. “Do you intend-” 

“Yes,” he said with a nod. “We need to change clothes. You will disguise yourself as a soldier, and I’ll-” 

quite agree 

I shook my head before he could finish his sentence. “This is too dangerous, Kane. You’re too important to risk. You’re the brains of this operation.” 

“Tll take that as a compliment, Kane said with an amused smirk. “But that’s precisely why I need to take the job. I know how to act since I’ve been living in the palace for so long. I’ve observed your father and yourself for years. I know your mannerisms. your speech patterns, everything. We may not look much alike, but I know how to conduct myself the way a king should.” 

“Be that as it may, I don’t think this is a good idea,” I insisted. “I appreciate that you’re willing to take this risk for me, but this is a dangerous plan, Kane.” 

“I know it’s dangerous, Asher,” Kane replied with a steady gaze. His violet eyes were even as they stared into mine and he raised his chin slightly. “I know what I’m taking on in doing this 

Silas and I exchanged a cautious glance with one another. The tall Beta didn’t seem too convinced of this plan either, though he likely wouldn’t speak much on the matter. While Silas was intelligent, he had a quiet disposition and usually allowed me to make the decision rather than offering his opinion. That said, I knew if I asked him directly, he would speak his mind. 

I didn’t want to offend Kane, but as a headache bloomed within me, I found myself at odds with his daring plan.

“Asher, you have to let me do this.” Kane pressed, and he took a step toward me. “I don’t see any other option here.” 

“And what happens if you die?” I blurted out. “What do we do if one of the assassins gets ahold of you and attacks you, thinking you’re the Alpha King? I cannot ask you to make that sacrifice for me, nor would I ever want to.. 

Kane remained silent for a moment, and we stared at each other for what felt like an eternity until he spoke again. 

“My death would be better than yours, Asher,” he said firmly, his tone full of resolve. “I’m replaceable. You, however, are not. You have a duty to Wegalla, and you need to follow through and remain safe. I will take your place.”
