The Heartless Alpha’s Beloved Luna

Chapter 381

Avery's POV

Bjorn's expulsion letter stared at me from across the table. The big red letters at the top were clear: "EXPELLED FOR VIOLENT MISCONDUCT."

The table fell silent. Even Bjorn, who had previously been chattering away to Gideon about something, went quiet. I could feel him shifting in his chair beside me, looking up at me as if I might have an answer. I didn't. I only knew one thing for certain: I had not put those papers in my purse. I distinctly remembered printing out multiple copies of the health and safety report this morning.

Furthermore, I only possessed one copy of Bjorn's expulsion letter, and it was via email. I wracked my brain, trying to think of a way this could have happened. Had I clicked on the wrong document on my laptop this morning to print off? That was the only explanation I could think of. Bjorn tugged on my sleeve. I looked over to see that his eyes were watery.

"Why did you do that?" he whispered.

"Am I in trouble?"

"No, sweetheart." I rubbed his shoulder.

"It was an accident, that's all." I nodded to Claire, who began to gather the papers.

" I'm sorry, everyone.I must have printed off the wrong document this morning." Fiona, sitting on Gideon's other side, suddenly set down her coffee cup with a clink that seemed to echo in the quiet space.

"Well, I guess it's all in the open now, isn't it?" she asked.

"Bjorn, you've been a naughty boy, haven't you?" Bjorn froze. I reached for him, but before I could, he pushed his chair back and fled from the restaurant. I went to stand, but Claire shook her head and stood, going after him instead. The table remained silent for a few more moments.
