Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 171

What Does He Want to Say?-2

“In the kitchen!” I called back.

I heard his footsteps, and then he walked into the kitchen. I don’t know if it was just me, but Jaxon looked a bit off.

“What’s up? You called my name like the world was ending,” I said to him when I realized

he still hadn’t spoken.

His eyes were wide, like he’d just discovered something major. I stared at him. He was

wearing a hoodie and sweatpants. At first I was confused why he wasn’t at work, but then I remembered today was his day off.

“Jaxon?” I called.

He shook his head. “Oh, sorry. I don’t know if this is too soon, but I wanted to ask you

something.”

First Sebastian wanting to talk about something, and now Jaxon wanting to ask me

something. Seeing him fidget, I knew I probably wouldn’t like what he had to say.

“Okay, shoot.”

He was quiet for a moment, then took a deep breath.

“I want to ask you out on a date.”

“What?” I stammered, my eyes widening as I stared at him.

Did I hear him right? No way. He couldn’t possibly be asking me this. We were just

friends.

“Would you go out on a date with me?” he asked again, his voice clearer this time. “I know it might be too early, but I think it’s for the best. We can help each other get over our past hurts. It would be easy because we understand each other.”

I continued to stare at him. My brain refused to work. Surely he could see how fucking ridiculous his idea was, and I don’t mean to be mean or anything. He was basically suggesting we be each other’s replacement. That kind of relationship usually doesn’t end

I followed him outside only to find he’d already crossed the yard to his side. I sighed and went back inside, and that’s when the doorbell rang.

I walked out of the kitchen, through the hallway, and felt a sense of déjà vu.

When I opened the door, there was no one there. Just another note.

I picked it up and opened it. It was smeared with what I thought was blood, but the words were clear.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT, THEA. HAVE YOU SAID GOODBYE TO YOUR LOVED ONES?

I dropped the note in horror, staring at it, willing it to disappear. Now I was sure this wasn’t a prank. Someone was targeting me again; the only question was who, and why?

What Does He Want to Say?-2

My body suddenly went ice cold as fear swept through me at the thought of Leo and the baby in my belly. I needed to figure out how to keep us safe, and I needed to do it fast.
