Filed To Story: Absent Luna of the Lycan King Novel (Ivy & Kyson)
“Finally, you’re awake,” Kyson says as Damian steps around the coffee table.
“I am going to head back to my mate. But I will be ready to leave by the afternoon for Landeena,” he says before walking out and leaving me with Kyson.
“We are going to Landeena tomorrow?” I ask as Kyson wanders over books in his hands. He sits down beside me. “Yes. You still want to go?” | nod my head. I needed answers, anything to try and figure everything out.
“Any news from Larkin?” Kyson shakes his head.
“No, though we have tried to reach him,”
“You don’t think that Crux …?”
“Honestly, I don’t know what to believe anymore, Azzy. We’ll figure it out together,” he tells me, setting the books down on the small coffee table. “How are you feeling?” he asks, moving my hair over my shoulder.
“I feel fine,” he exhales before cupping my cheek with his hand.
“You had me so worried when you passed out. Abbie was beside herself. It took all Gannon’s strength to get her to leave,”
“I just can’t believe we missed how depressed she was,” I tell him, feeling terrible that my best friend was suffering in silence, believing wholeheartedly that she had no one to confide in.
“A lot has happened. New things have come to light. Finding out about Gannon’s mate, I think shoved her over the edge,”
“Gannon had a mate?” I asked.
‘Apparently, yes. But more shocking is it was Abbie’s aunty. Gannon and Liam killed her,” Kyson tells me.
“He killed his own mate?” I ask, horrified. Kyson shrugs.
“I don’t know all the details, and we were just as stunned when we found out. He never told me. Although
I know Gannon, he would never hurt a woman without good reason. It is also nearly impossible to kill your own mate.” Kyson says, resting his head back on the couch.
“Come, you should get some rest. We have to be up in a few hours,” he tells me.
“I just woke up,” I laugh.
“But I haven’t slept yet, and it is 3am in the morning. I can’t sleep without you, so you need to come too,”
he tells me, standing up.
“I’m not tired,” I tell him, peering up at him.
“Good for you, but I am,” he smirks before scooping me off the couch. I scramble to grab hold of him, not wanting to be dropped as he walks toward the bed. He places me on it before stripping his clothes off, remaining only in his boxers. I lick my lips at the sight of him.
“Nope! Sleep. I am old, tired, and grumpy. You can have your way with me tomorrow,” he growls as he climbs over me. I was not tired. No, I was wide awake. Kyson crawls in bed beside, tugging the blanket up before flicking the lamp off. Only the light from the fireplace illuminated the room, casting shadows on the walls and roof. I stare at the ceiling, wondering how long before he falls asleep so I can sneak off to shower.
However, sleep is instantly forgotten when I hear Abbie’s voice flit through the mind-link.
“Are you awake?” she whispers to me.
“Yes, are you okay? I wanted to come to see you, but Kyson wanted to sleep,” I tell her.
“You can see me. I’m outside your door,” she whispers through the link as if she was trying not to wake
Kyson. I glance at him fast asleep, snoring, before getting to my feet and making my way to the door.
Opening the door, I find Abbie and Tandi. Tandi peers past me to look at Kyson asleep before reaching in, grabbing my wrist and tugging me out the door, and rushing toward the stairs. Abbie giggles, racing to keep up with her as if she was performing some kind of jailbreak. Dustin, who was standing quard with
Trey, stumbled after us.
“Ah, you said you needed to speak to her, not kidnap her!” Trey hisses at her.
“Either come with us and shut up or stay behind. No party pooper’s allowed,” Trey looks at me, and I shrug.
“Where are we going?” I ask as I nearly stumble down the steps.
“To raid the liquor and find the deserts,” Tandi tells me. Abbie giggles and shakes her head.
“I heard her giving Damian hell in the halls and went to see what the commotion was and was kidnapped too,” she shrugs.
“Tyson? And Hunter?” I ask the girls, though I was glad to see a smile on Abbie’s face after yesterday.
“Hogging the bed. Gannon is with him,” Abbie tells me. “And Damian is playing Daddy daycare,” Tandi says as we reach the bottom of the stairs. Tandi scouts the hall before jumping in fright when Liam comes around the corner.
Liam glances around before ducking behind the corner of the staircase with us. He peers down, then peeks around the corner toward the kitchen. “Who are we hiding from?” he whispers, and Tandi giggles.
“Idiot, we are raiding the kitchen!” she snaps, pushing past him.
“I could do with a midnight snacky poo,”
“This is a girl’s breakout only,” she tells him.
“Then why does ferret face get to come? And him?” Trey huffs at Liam, calling him names, and Tandi looks over her shoulder at Dustin and Trey dressed in the typical black uniforms, looking every part of my guard.
“Dustin, don’t count. He is one of us.” He huffs as if to say he is not a part of this escape. “And he is the fun police that decided to tag along,” she growls.
“Well then, count me in as the corruption! I know where the hard liquor is kept. Besides, I am her guard,”
he says, pointing to Abbie.
“Since when?” Abbie demands.
“Since you did a jailbreak on my best friend in your rainbow pajamas and bunny slippers. You look like you’re up to mischief.” Liam tells her, sending her a wink. Tandi sighs loudly.
