Read Luna on The Run – I Stole The Alpha’s Son Chapter 35 – It had a fluffy gray duvet on the bed that
looked to be a queen, yet this room felt cold for some reason. I couldn‘t place why I felt that way. I would
rather the hospital room. It felt empty despite having clothes, even as I walked into the grand bathroom
and closet. Walking out, Axton was leaning against the doorframe, watching me.
“My room is across the hall. You are to remain in the apartment unless I authorize you to leave it. Guards
will be posted outside the doors until you can be trusted.” he tells me. “I‘m not going anywhere, Axton,” I
tell him, but he either didn‘t care for my words or didn‘t believe me because he walked off, leaving me in
the room. I sat on the bed, looking around the empty space.
Goosebumps laced my skin, and I itched badly, something setting off my senses about his cold
demeanor, yet I couldn‘t place why I felt that way. It must be our broken bond, but I found myself waiting
for the other shoe to drop, to wake up back in the apartment with Jake, and finding out all this was some
distant reality I was trapped in.
Like a dream, I had conjured to hide from the real world. It wasn‘t until the incessant hunger that had
been pestering me since I woke up, that I decided to move. It was also the startling clarity I needed,
prove I was really here, because the growling sound started to turn to an ache and I found myself

I stop listening for any movement before wandering down the hall to the kitchen. Was I allowed to just
help myself? I didn‘t know the rules here; he didn‘t say; merely just showed me my room and walked off.
“Well, he can‘t expect us to starve,” Lexa tells me, yet why did I feel so unwelcome here? Like I was
intruding and the feeling wouldn‘t leave; I wanted very much to go back to my room.
Instead, Lexa urged me toward the fridge, reminding me I needed to eat, that the two moving babies
inside me required food just as much as I did.
“Maybe we can make him dinner to say thank you,” she says, yet her voice still held no emotion as if she
was saying what was expected of us and not for any real reason, just her words purely existing like an
idea in my head, an inner monologue of the turmoil I felt.
“What should we make for him?” I did not know what he liked, what he didn‘t like. I hardly knew anything
about the man at all besides what the tabloids say. “It‘s the thought that counts, right?” she said
indifferently, so I moved toward the fridge and pantry.
It was getting late and by the time on the clock it was definitely nearing dinner time. So I set to work,
rummaging through the well–stocked fridge and pantry before making it. I found tomahawk prime rib
steaks, asparagus and potatoes.
I figured I could marinate the steaks in red wine with salt, garlic, liquid smoke, sugar, and pepper, setting
it to the side. I took the large baking potatoes and placed them on the baking rack.
While they were half cooked, I split them in half, scooping them out and combining them with cheddar
cheese, crumpled bacon, chives, and butter. I placed the twice–baked potatoes back in the oven and set
the asparagus aside with butter on the warmer.
I placed the tomahawk steaks in the oven on to broil for thirty minutes. After everything was finished, I
placed his food on a large plate for Axton and some for myself. Hopefully, he will be back soon for dinner.
“He should like this. It‘s slightly fancy but not over the top,” I said to Lexa as I waited for Axton. Lexa
chimes in seconds later, “I hope he does. It is all we can really do to show we really appreciate
everything he did to save us.”
We waited for a while, and dinner was going cold. I wondered what time he would be back and was
about to consider reheating everything when finally the door opened up.
His scent wafted to me and I was starving, but knew it would be rude not to wait for him. Besides, I was
hoping to speak to him, have some form of conversation, so I perked up when I heard the . door open

“I cooked dinner,” I blurted out as he wandered into the room where I sat at the dining table. He raised an
eyebrow at me and glanced at the table I had set.
“Good for you,” he says, moving toward the fridge. He grabs a can of coke out before wandering down
the hallway, and moments later, I hear his door close. I stared down at my almost cold dinner and waited
for a second to see if he would return, but he didn’t.
“Well, I guess that went well,” Lexa says as I stare at the table, I had painstakingly sat at for the past
twenty minutes, waiting for him. Not to mention the time it took me to cook all this, yet now I found I had
suddenly lost my appetite.
Tears burned the backs of my eyes, and I squeezed them tight. Was this how it was going to be staying
here? Composing myself, I grabbed my fork, digging in and eating almost robotically.
I was excited about having cooked for him, having something more than what Jake made us, and yet I
tasted nothing as I ate in the quiet.
Forcing myself to eat the meal I spent ages making for him. When I was done, I cleaned up, cling
wrapping his dinner I set in the microwave before wandering back to my room which was just as empty
as when I left it.
With nothing else to do, I climbed into bed. “I suppose we can try again tomorrow. Maybe he had a rough
day?” Lexa tells me, trying to cheer me up, yet not even she could because I knew not even she believed
that herself.
