Chasing His Kickass Luna Back
Chapter 0311

Amidst the sea of faces, though, another familiar figure approaches us. It's Daniel, an Alpha who used to be close to both Abby and me when we were married years ago. His warm smile is genuine as he greets me.

“Karl, my old friend!” Daniel exclaims, extending a hand toward me. “It's been far too long. Who's this lovely lady you have with you tonight?”

I can't help but offer a polite smile as I introduce Shana. “Daniel, this is Shana. Shana, meet Daniel.” Daniel takes Shana's hand and gives it a kiss. “A pleasure to meet you, Shana. You look stunning.” Shana remains silent aside from a thank-you, her polite smile never wavering. It's becoming increasingly clear that she’s not the most conversational of companions. I didn't see it as much when it was just the two of us on dates, but I really see it now that we're around other people. Daniel's friendly demeanor takes a curious turn as he leans in a little closer, lowering his voice. “So, are you two officially dating now?”

I pause for a moment, feeling the weight of the question. Shana says nothing, and I can sense her discomfort. I decide to answer honestly. “We've just started seeing each other, but we haven't discussed any official plans yet.”

Daniel gives me a sideways look, his expression thoughtful. He then gestures for me to step aside with him, away from Shana’s earshot. His tone becomes hushed as he pulls me aside.

“Karl, I've known you for a long time,” he says. “And I have to be honest with you. It's not a good look for an Alpha to be “unofficial’ with a woman. You need to establish a firm connection, especially if she’s a potential Luna.”

I'm a bit taken aback by his words. “Daniel, I appreciate your concern, but—"

He cuts me off with a knowing look. “Can I be honest with you, Karl? Man to man?”

His words give me pause, but I nod anyway. “Hit me.”

He sighs. “Karl, I can tell. The spark isn't there like it was with Abby. You can't fool us Alphas. If you want to be taken seriously as a leader, you need to make a decision.”

I'm left momentarily speechless, grappling with his words. Daniel has always been straightforward and observant, and his assessment hits me harder than I'd like to admit.

“I understand what you're saying, Daniel,” I finally reply, choosing my words carefully. “But Shana and I are taking our time to get to know each other. Rushing into things won't benefit either of us.” Daniel claps me on the shoulder with a friendly but firm grip. “I get it, Karl. Just remember, not everything is about duty. You deserve to have a spark, too. Someone who you would proudly announce as your future Luna in a heartbeat.”

With that, he leaves me standing there, pondering his advice. I can't deny that there's a tiny bit of truth in his words. As an Alpha, I'm expected to lead by example, to make decisions and stick by them. But at the same time, I don't want to rush into something just for the sake of appearances— especially not something that lacks any real substance.

I return to Shana’s side, finding her still on the dance floor. Her expression hasn't changed, but I can't help but feel a sense of unease. Daniel's words linger in my mind, and I wonder if he's right— that the spark I had with Abby is something I may never find again.

I glance around the room, my eyes searching for familiar faces. My brother still hasn't arrived, which worries me,

And then, that's when I see it, and time stops. A pearlescent white gown, a cascade of blonde hair, and...

The face that I've really been hoping to see all night.
