Alpha King Chases Abandoned Luna Novel – The beeping of the hospital monitors had become the soundtrack to our lives. My daughter Lily lay in the sterile bed, her small frame dwarfed by the medical equipment surrounding her. Kidney failure. Those two words had shattered our world. “Mommy,” Lily whispered, her voice barely audible over the machines. “Do you think Daddy will come tomorrow?” I brushed her thin hair back from her forehead. “Of course, sweetheart.
It’s your birthday.” “And we’ll go to the Moonlight Fair? All three of us?” Hope flickered in her emerald eyes—eyes just like mine. “Yes, Lily.
