Alpha's Twins Chapter 299

After Adrian stormed out, I let out a frustrated sigh and raked my fingers through my hair.

How the hell did I end up here?

I tried piecing together what happened, then remembered passing out on the street. The last thing I saw was Adrian's face hovering over me.

Why bring me to his place? He could've just dropped me off at home.

While I was working myself up over it, I spotted a paper bag sitting on the couch.

I walked over and grabbed it to see what was inside. The moment I opened it, I found a dress.

I rolled my eyes. That man was unbelievable.

Obviously he'd gotten this for me to wear.

I hurried to the bathroom for a quick shower.

This room felt so familiar. Every corner held memories that kept flooding back, whether I wanted them to or not.

After a fast shower, I stepped out wearing the dress he'd provided.

I towel-dried my hair while scanning the room for my purse.

My kids and parents were probably worried sick about me.

And Max...

I needed to call him and let him know I was okay.

I left the bedroom and headed downstairs. Looking around at the house I'd missed so much over the years brought back a wave of emotions.

The maids looked unfamiliar - all new faces, so they didn't seem surprised to see me.

I glanced around until I spotted a middle-aged woman I recognized.

"Amanda."

I smiled at her. She hadn't changed much. Still had that strong, no-nonsense look about her. Her hair was pulled back in the same perfect bun, not a strand out of place.

"Luna!"

Hearing that title again hit me with a rush of memories.

She'd been like a mother to me. During those two years of marriage, she was there through all the hard times. Took care of me when I was sick, supported me when I needed it most.

"I'm not your Luna anymore," I said as I walked over to her.

Her bright eyes dimmed as she nodded.

"I know. But you'll always be my Luna. How have you been?"

I told her about my two children. She said she already knew - Adrian had told everyone about his kids.

"What about you, Amanda? How have things been?" I asked, genuinely curious about her life.

She looked down, like she was holding something back. I touched her shoulder gently.

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me anything you don't want to."

She looked up and shook her head. "No, it's not that."

I studied her face, trying to figure out what was making her hesitate.

"What's wrong? Is he not treating you right?"

The thought of Adrian mistreating this woman who'd been like a mother to him made my blood boil.

Amanda took my hands in hers.

"He came back a few months ago, Luna. He visited once after your divorce and then disappeared for years. But last night, I saw something different in him. I think he's carrying a lot of guilt about the past."
