The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 335

Chapter 335: Take Me with You

Meredith.

I looked between Draven and Dennis. The silence stretched oddly, as if something had been spoken but not aloud.

Dennis’s eyes flicked to his brother, and Draven’s expression hardened in that quiet, unyielding way of his.

Something was happening—a current running between them that I wasn’t meant to touch. My chest tightened with suspicion. They were planning something.

I reached out with my mind, testing the barrier. But where with ordinary wolves I could slip past their shields, hear the faint threads of thought... with them, I met only stone. Nothing.

My mind pressed against a wall too high, too thick, and it pushed me back.

Frustration pricked. How many secrets passed between them like this? How many conversations happened under my nose, beyond my reach?

For the first time, I found myself wishing—no, aching for the ability to read them, to rip through their walls and hear what they thought, what they plotted. To see them as clearly as they saw me.

And then, her voice.

"Soon," Valmora whispered from within, her tone smooth, curling through me like smoke. "When I’m finally let out, we will do great things together, you and I."

A shiver traced my spine. My fingers curled tightly against my lap to steady myself.

I actually can’t wait for this wonderful day to arrive. I was in desperate need of living a great life.

Draven’s gaze finally broke from Dennis and found mine. The sharpness in his golden eyes softened just enough.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

I forced a smile, though the echo of Valmora’s voice still lingered inside me. "I’m fine."

Dennis and Jeffery exchanged a glance, then both inclined their heads. With murmured excuses, they slipped out, leaving the study quiet again, the fire snapping in the hearth.

I scooted closer to Draven on the sofa, feeling the heat of him at my side. My fingers twisted together before I steadied myself.

"Valmora told me something," I said carefully. "Something I would like to confirm with you."

His brows lifted, curiosity flickering in his eyes. "And what is that?"

I drew a breath, then let it out. "She said... that your Alpha command doesn’t work on me. Is it true?"

For a heartbeat, silence stretched. Draven’s eyes narrowed, searching mine. Then, slowly, the corner of his mouth curved in a smile. "It’s true."

I blinked, surprise breaking into a smile of my own. My heart gave a hard beat, as though a hidden truth had finally been unwrapped.

"How do you know?" I asked softly. "Did you try it on me and fail? Because... how else would you know?"

His smile deepened, shadowed with memory. "Yes. I tried it, I think once or twice and failed, to my greatest shock."

My breath caught in my throat. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"It was back when we used to argue a lot," he continued, his tone low, threaded with amusement. "You would stand there—so small, so stubborn and would throw words at me without fear. You were so disrespectful sometimes," his eyes gleamed, "that I thought a command would silence you."

Not ordinary. Not like the others.
