Chapter 71 He opened his mouth to speak again , but I whipped my hand hard across his face .
All of this , I did with a calm look on my face .
I expected him to look angry when he finally turned to me , maybe even react or lash out at me .
Instead , there was something different in his eyes .
Excitement .
It was a primal look that flared up in his eyes .
Throughout the dessert , hed been all calm and collected .
Now I was getting to see such an intense look in his eyes .
There was a bit of a challenge in his eyes .
The longer I stared into them , the more I felt they were slowly drawing me into their deep pools .
Come on , Thea .
Askhan grabbed my hand .
Lets get out of here .
I didnt bother arguing with him , simply grabbing my purse and letting him lead us away .
A part of me felt tempted to spare one last glance at Quentin but I restrained myself .
When we reached the place where Quentin had been standing , I turned back and noticed something .
From Askhans perspective , it must have looked like I and Quentin were kissing back when he had wiped the cream off my face .
The misalignment of light and shadow would have given off that impression and anyone standing here would have rightfully assumed that .
As we made our way out of the restaurant , I couldnt help but stare at Askhan .
A part of me wanted to tell him the truth , clear what ever misunderstanding he must have had in his head The other part of me was tired and didnt want to bother .
We were simply chatting , and if he couldnt ask me about it , then it wasnt worth bringing it up .
I followed Askhan for a while as he led us away from the restaurant .
The silence was deafening and at some point , I couldnt take it anymore .
What made you come here ? I asked .
Its literally the middle of the night and you thought to come looking for me ? 09:38 Lunas Deadly Deception : How She Made fier Alpha | 55.1 % Chapter 71 He didnt say anything in reply , simply into his pocket and bringing out his phone .
After scrolling through something , he handed it to me .
It was the latest email he had received .
According to it , Olavir had found a solution for the Death Grass in his research lab and was going to send it to me immediately .
I wanted to tell you right away but the guards told me you left the palace .
He said in a calm voice .
I couldnt help the smile that made its way to my face .
At long last , it seemed I would finally overcome this problem Id been struggling .
My mind went back to Quentins appointment at the restaurant .
Had it really been all for hype ? Back when we were in the plane , he had reprimanded Claire just for me .
He didnt favour Claire despite the fact that she was working for him and even stood by me when I needed it the most .
He had chosen to stay by my side and stick with me .
I looked to Askhan as he gently put his trench coat over me .
Dont think about him .
Hes just a businessman .
The only thing that matters to him is maximizing profit .
Its pretty obvious what matters to him and its not feelings or beliefs .
He doesnt even respect the Moon goddess and that should tell you enough about him .
Hed somehow realized that I was thinking about Quentin and was now doing all he could to comfort me in the way he knew best .
How did you know ? I asked , unable to hide my surprise .

He had a small smile on his face .
Call it intuition .
Without another word , he leaned close to me and pressed his forehead against mine .
It was a simple gesture , yet I felt a wave of warmth wash through me .
This was the most honoured Alpha Prince .
The only heir to the Alpha King .
And he was choosing to take my side .
Mommy , mommy .
Wake up .
Early rays of sunlight pierced through the curtains and washed over the room .
A small groan left my lips as I opened my eyes .
As everything became less blurry , Emmas figure came into view .
She jumped excitedly , shaking all the sleep out of my eyes .
09:38 Lunas Deadly Deception : How She Made for Alpha 55.4 % Chapter 71 Wake up , Mom .
Its so early , Emma .
Whats wrong ? I stretched my limbs just a little before pushing the blankets aside .
Emma took that as her chance to throw herself into my arms .
Mom .
Come read me the Luna fairy tale story .
Pleaseee .
She shook my arm excitedly , I said a silent prayer to the Moon Goddess , feeling the exhaustion run through my body .
Cant we do that later in the day ? Emma shook her head .
No.
I want it now , Mom .
Just one story.
Please .
Looking at the way Emma kept making demands with a cute face , I remembered what people around me had once said about me : Thea , youre such an arrogant and capricious princess ! Moon Goddess ! Please prove to everyone that theres already a princess whos even more willful and imp like than me ! I let out a sigh .
Just one story .
She let out an excited squeal and ran to bring the story book .
That was how I spent the morning reading the Luna fairy tale to her .
It wasnt the first time she was hearing but she was always so excited when it came to that .
Just as she left the room , the door swung open and someone barrelled in .
A wolf to be precise .
One I recognized all too well .
