Chasing His Betrayed Luna

ALPHA RAIDEN

~>~

Although the feast was impromptu, I could sense everyone's contentment as they celebrated the union of the man I detested and the woman my heart ached to have more than the win my pack representatives earned at the competition.

For some reason, Larosa went all out to celebrate Aurelia even though it has become clear to me that Larisa wasn't as kind as I used to believe.

If I hadn't blocked Lex, he would have said something along the lines of, "Told you so."

But to keep my head clear and not act emotionally before my members and guests, Lex had remained subdued in my mind. Yet, my mind was a mess and my emotions were just as messy as my eyes settled on everything... everyone but the duo. Larisa rose to her feet with a glass of wine in her hand and I barely stopped myself from groaning out in frustration. If only I knew that I was about to make a great discovery that would completely chnage the odds.

"I'd like to make a toast to Alpha Tristan and his woman," Larisa announced, instantly securing everyone's attention. Tristan managed to send a grin like smile her way before she continued, "But before we do that, I'd like to hear a word or two from the lovers... I'm sure we're all dying to hear them confess their love for each other."

Larisa laughed melodiously along with a few other people but I rolled my eyes, knowing that I was about to be tortured by their words again. My heart was heavy and my throat was dry as a desert despite my efforts to stay calm. This was all wrong... this doesn't feel right.

"This feels so right." Tristan voiced, contradicting my thoughts as if he heard them. "Lia and I started a family six years ago and each day with our family has been a a blessing to me. I'm lucky to have someone as unique as her as my mate."

As he spoke, he held Aurelia's gaze, sounding genuine and fueling my raging emotions.

"Cheers to our union, Special one," Tristan concluded, raising his glass.

Special one? Tsk!

Hatred brewed in my soul, blinding my eyes as everyone but me raised a toast. Yes, Aurelia was special. I couldn't counter that fact. I just hated that Tristan got to know just how unique my destined mate was.

Fuck! He had been sleeping with her for six years...

He got to know how she taste, how she squirmed and how her eyes rolled to the back of her skull whenever she get lost in ecstasy-

"It's your turn, Lia. Don't be shy." Larisa muttered, bringing me back to reality.

As much as I didn't want to see Aurelia speak about Tristan or even hear her, my gaze shifted to her face and my heart silently pleaded with her. I tried to push my emotions through our broken bond, hoping that she would feel me... hear me, at least. But there was no effect. Unfortunately.

"Alpha Tristan has been my pillar-" Aurelia began.

But Tristan cut in, "Just call me Tristan, darling. You'll get to do that and more as my wife and Luna."

Gasps could be heard around the hall. The cold Tristan we all knew had melted to become warm and sweet with Aurelia.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Aurelia smiled shyly, her cheeks crimson red as she flushed. My fists balled and my nostrils flared yet that didn't stop her from chuckling. "Tristan," Aurelia called out affectionately, provoking another round of sweet sounds in the hall.

All I could see was red. Anger, pain, hatred, grief... those emotions slammed into the core of my being without sparing me a second to catch my breath.

"You saved me six years ago,

Tristan. You saved me from a life that tore me apart. You make me feel safe. You gave me a home and now you are gifting me a complete family. If anyone is special, it's you." Aurelia announced.

She said a lot of words but "Tore me apart" stuck with me.

I did that to her and Tristan rescured her.

Why on earth would she want to return to me?

She had no reason to consider giving me another chance. None at all.

The realization sank into me, taking away my reason to breathe. My chest tightened as if Lex was trying to punish me for blocking him and putting us in this position.

From the way her lips were moving, I

could tell that Aurelia was still confessing her appreciation and feelings for Tristan but I didn't hear a word.bjolted to my feet, pushing my seat backward despite the O Screeching noise it made.

"Alpha-" Andrew's voice broke through the agitation that has captured me.

"Excuse me." I stated stiffly, storming out of the hall without wasting another second.

I needed to get out of here and far away from Aurelia.

I needed to accept her rejection and severe the bond completely-

Just thinking about it, killed me slowly.

Lex whimpered at the back of my mind but I ignored him. Severing the bond was the right thing to do and I'd release Larisa from all the duties she had been shouldering afterwards.

I felt Andrew's presence in my head before his words bounced off the walls of my mind, "Do you need me to come out too? I'm worried about you, Raiden."

"Stay put. Represent me there." I sent those words to him without sharing my emotions with him.

Andrew understood the message. He stayed out of my head while I dashed towards the back of the hall, intending to find solace in the forest... and also accept Aurelia's six-year standing rejection.

"I, Alpha Raiden Flockhart of Dark

Moon Pack." started when I found an isolated spot in the forest. Lex struggled to break free within me fighting against my will but I kept him locked away as I continued with a burning heart and a shaky voice, "Aaccept m-my des-destined

mate's, Aurelia-"

I had just a few words left to make the rejection official but a soft whimper for help hit my eardrums.

"Help me." The whimper came again. "M-mom. Ky-kyle...."

My eyes widened as I muttered, "Katie."

Her soft cry hit my eardrums again. Without hesitation, I ran towards the direction I sensed her from, forgetting about my bleeding heart. "Katie, is that you?" I raised my voice, calling out to her to be sure. "Y-yes..." Came her response.

What the hell was she doing in the middle of the forest while a feast was going on in the pack? That was the question I had before I found her on the floor, lying in a pool of what I knew was her own blood. "What the fuck happened?" I yelled, cursing out even though she was a kid.

"I want m-my mo-mommy...." Katie cried before she passed out, leaving me in shock.

"Please don't be dead." I chanted, picked her up and ran towards the pack hospital.
