The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna

Chapter 286 +25 Bonus He opened his palm, and I suppressed a gasp. It was a candy. The same kind that had fallen from Lindsey's pocket. The candy that she'd acted incredibly strange and secretive over. "Where did you get that?" I blurted out. "The candies?" He glanced over at his desk, where there was a jar full of them sitting on the shelf, then shrugged. "They're for me. I have a sweet tooth." I stared at the candy. That was an awful lot of candies for someone who claimed to have a sweet tooth. The jar was practically full. I wondered if he actually used them as some kind of reward.

Maybe bribery. Just like he was doing with me. I took the candy, just to please him, but already my mind was coming up with a potential test. The next morning, I returned to the garden. Lindsey was already there, kneeling in the dirt and pulling up weeds. She looked up when I approached and smiled. "Good morning." "Morning." I knelt beside her and picked up a spade. We worked in silence for a few minutes before I decided to test my theory. I glanced around to make sure no one else was nearby, then leaned closer to her. "Can I tell you something?"

I see." "You won't tell anyone, will you?" I asked, tilting my head. "No. Of course not." She shook her head quickly. Too quickly. "Your secret is safe with me." "Thank you." I smiled and turned back to the garden.

"Take your time." She hurried away, her chains clinking with every step. I watched her go, and wondered if she would come back with another treat in her pocket.

She's in excellent condition, actually." I looked at Deirdre. Her face had gone pale. "That's... That's not possible," she stammered. "I was
