Chapter 4 Inside the room , Lucy slipped off her military jacket . She wasnt wearing much underneath..just a delicate , lacy lingerie set . William stood right in front of her , his eyes locked on her nearly bare body . His breath hitched . Without hesitation , William grabbed her by the waist and laid her down on the bed , leaning over her . Lucy gently pushed against his chest and murmured , Alpha , youre in such a rush today . Slow down … Theres no time for games today , William said , his voice rough . Caitlin is still waiting for me . Lucys body went rigid . She wrapped her arms around him , trying to hold him in place , desperate to keep him from leaving . When William finally stepped out of the room , the sun had set , and the meeting had long ended . Buttoning his shirt as he hurried to the meeting room , he found it empty . Wheres Luna ? William demanded , grabbing a nearby soldier . The soldier hesitated . Luna left not long after you did . Unease settled in Williams chest . Something felt wrong . He called me and softened his tone . The meeting just ended … Honey , where are you ? stood by my car and answered coldly . The driver will drive me back . Is there something Chapter 4 you need ? William replied quickly , Dont leave yet . I have something important to give you . Wait for me in the parking lot . He hung up before I could respond . Minutes later , the lights in the parking lot dimmed . Warriors appeared , holding candles and flowers . Leading the group , William knelt before me and opened a red velvet box . Gasps filled the air as the massive diamond sparkled . Alpha is so romantic . What woman wouldnt want that ring ? someone whispered . Our Luna is so lucky , another added . But I stayed silent . William had never noticed that I rarely wore jewelry . Years of hiding my identity in the military left me cautious . Jewelry was a luxury I never allowed myself . Still , my heart raced as he slipped the ring onto my finger . William and I were mates . We fell in love in college when he wasnt yet the Alphas chosen heir . He had no wealth , no status , and a shaky future , but I stood by him through it all . We married under the stars with a ring made from a soda can tab . Back then , he promised , One day , Ill give you the biggest diamond ring . I never cared about diamonds . I knew he loved me , and that was enoug Now , five years later , I was surprised he remembered . My Alph Chapter 4 Tears welled up in my eyes , and William quickly stood to embrace me . Dont cry , baby , he whispered . It breaks my heart to see you sad . Ill buy you a new one every year . I promise . Obviously , he doesnt know why Im in tears yet . Cheers erupted from the crowd . Then Lucy spoke up , smiling sweetly . Luna , Alpha even asked me for advice about rings . He wanted it to be perfect for you ! She casually brushed her hair back , revealing a ring that shimmered in the light . Gasps spread through the group . Lucys ring wasnt a diamond it was a moonstone , a sacred gem blessed by the Moon Goddess . Legend said it could save the wearer from one fatal attack .. Compared to Lucys moonstone , my diamond ring suddenly felt small and meaningless . Facing the curious eyes of the crowd , Lucy smiled and waved her hand , looking at William with eyes full of love . Why are you all looking at my ring ? This is something my lover had to buy for me , hes worried about my safety on the battlefield Everyone present knew in their hearts that this was given to her by William . My heart sank . Sensing the shift in mood , William quickly said , Honey , do you like moonstones ? I thought youd be safer at home , so … Dont explain , I interrupted softly . I understand . Chapter 4 Relieved , William hugged me , unaware of my blank expression . It didnt matter anymore . In two days , Id be gone . Just then , a sharp pain tore through my chest . My vision blurred , and I collapsed against William . Caitlin ! Whats wrong ? Caitlin ! His voice faded as darkness consumed me .. When I woke up the next morning , William was sitting by my bed .. His eyes were red , and he clutched my hand tightly . You scared me , honey , he said . You were unconscious all night . I couldnt leave your side . I shook my head weakly . You have work to do . Go handle it . But William pulled me closer . Im staying with you today . Nothing else matters . I was about to argue when his phone buzzed . He checked the screen and froze , his face going pale . At the same time , I received a psychic message . Im waiting in the car downstairs .
