The Betrayed Princess Rising (Lylah and Ezra) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131

3rd Person’s POV

“What exactly are you talking about, boy?” Vargan barked, his patience thinning.

Halvar straightened instinctively, even though the elder wolf was miles away on the other end of the line.

“Lately, Alpha Ezra hasn’t been present at the Research Center,” he explained. “He’s also been increasingly difficult to reach, and just this morning he canceled an important meeting at the last minute.”

Silence fell.

That didn’t sound like Ezra.

Not the Ezra Vargan knew.

His grandson had once abandoned the comfort and power of Moonclaw’s territory–leaving the Pack in the capable hands of his council–just to pursue his passion in Lunaris. The man had always burned with relentless drive.

And now… he was losing interest?

A prick of unease crept through Vargan’s chest.

Perhaps Halvar is right,‘ he thought grimly. ‘Perhaps this has something to do with Lylah.‘

In all his long life, there had only been one time Vargan had ever seen Ezra truly shaken.

And it had been because of that woman.

‘I’m leaving for Lunaris immediately,” Vargan said at last, his voice turning firm. “But you will keep this matter quiet.”

‘Of course, Master,” Halvar replied.

The call ended.

Vargan wasted no time preparing to depart.

The last time he had returned from Lunaris, his heart had been light. Ezra and his Luna had seemed well, their bond strong. Vargan had even boasted shamelessly to the council that Moonclaw would surely welcome a new heir soon.

Now unease gnawed at him.

‘If that stubborn boy has managed to ruin things…”

“That lad,” Vargan muttered with a low growl, “blessed with everything except sense when it comes to love.”

Ezra had rejected every match Vargan had ever arranged–daughters of powerful generals, high–ranked families, alliances that would have strengthened the Pack. One by one, Ezra had torn through those arrangements without a second thought.
