Chasing His Kickass Luna Back

Chapter 0273

No matter what tomorrow brings, no matter who I meet, they won’t be Abby. They won’t be my Luna.

And as the night stretches on, I can't shake the feeling that no one ever will be. No one except for her.

…

The meeting room is lined with stern faces, pack businesspeople and advisors all waiting for my

direction. I’m present as one of the commerce moguls drones on about some new merger, but my mind

is elsewhere.

My phone buzzes, and a glance reveals her name lighting up the screen. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Abby.

A pang hits my chest—a mixture of longing and regret—but I can’t answer. I slide the phone aside,

silencing the call without a second thought. This is Alpha business; personal matters can wait. Maybe

forever.

“Karl, the trade routes need to be established before the winter. We can’t delay any further,” insists

Marcus, his eyes boring into me, bringing me back to the present.

“Of course,” I say, my voice steady despite how I really feel. “I’ll review the proposed paths tonight.

Let’s ensure we prioritize safety and efficiency.”

The meeting drags on, discussions surrounding logistics, alliances, and pack welfare—topics that

should command my full attention. Yet, through it all, a sliver of my mind lingers on the missed call, on

Abby.

When the room finally empties, the silence left behind feels oppressive. Only then do I allow myself to

reach for the phone, noticing the voicemail notification. My thumb hovers, hesitates, and then presses

play.

“Hey, Karl, it’s Abby. I wanted to call you…” She pauses. I can feel my heart stop as I hear the sound of

a ragged breath on the other end before she speaks again.

“I’ve got news, and I guess I wish you were here to hear it in person… The security tapes from the

cook-off came in, and Daniel was exposed. But that’s not all… The judges, they’ve given me another

chance. They want me to cater the Alpha party.”

Without meaning to, a smile spreads across my face. I knew she would do it. I knew she would come

out on top.

“I have to cook them a private meal first. To test my skills, I guess.”

And then, time seems to stop. “I... I’d love it if you could be there, Karl. One last hurrah as my sous

chef? It’s not mandatory, of course. Just... I guess I’d just really like you to be there. If you want.”

“And Karl,” she adds a moment later, and I can feel my breath hitching in my throat. “I hope you’re

doing well. I—I miss you.”

The message ends abruptly, and the silence is even more profound than before.

“Abby,” I murmur. “Oh, Abby.”

But then, something crosses my mind. Abby… at the Alpha party… And I will be there with another

woman.

How will she take that? How will I take that?

Suddenly, the heavy doors to my study open, and Marcus steps in, his expression turning to concern

as he sees me. “You okay, Karl? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

I shake my head, a half-hearted attempt at lying. “It’s nothing. Did you need something?” Content of

“Right.” I nod, clearing my throat, and step closer.
