Chasing His Betrayed Luna

AURELIA

~>~

Alpha Tristan and I spoke at length. He assured me that Kyle would be alright even though he was far from us and he explained how I could use my gift to track Kyle after I promised him I would be careful and not get discovered.

"Call me when you find a place to perform the process. I'll be with you." Alpha Tristan had said those words to me before ending the call because he had something to do.

I noticed how versed Alpha Tristan was when it came to my abilities and during the call, I asked him how he knew so much about me when I knew little to nothing about myself.

His answer still had me blushing even though the call had ended hours ago, "I had to study you, Lia because you stole my heart."

Tristan also told me that he acquired some books that explained the biology of a White Werewolf and he promised to give them to me when I return to the pack with the twins. I looked forward to that moment and even though I was hesitant to call him at first, I felt at ease after speaking to him.

"Told you." Inara chided as I slumped on the bed.

"He has a way of making me feel better. I see myself falling for him with time." I confessed to my wolf.

"It'll happen sooner than you think. We just have to get back to Black Fur with the kids and the pieces will fall in place." Inara reassured me when she felt sadness creeping back to the surface of my mind.

I sniffled back tears, stating, "We will find a place tonight and find Kyle with Tristan's help. Hopefully, Raiden won't find us this time."

"He better not show his annoying face." Inara snarled but her foul mouth soon switched as she released a happy growl into my head. "Katie is back!"

Within seconds, Katie burst through the bedroom door, jumping on the bed to enjoy some cuddle time. While my daughter wrapped my arms around herself, I recalled how much Kyle used to enjoy cuddling with me. It broke my soul to think he was probably in a cold dark room at the moment.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

However, Katie snapped me out of those dark thoughts when she uttered, "Auntie Hazel and I enjoyed the walk, Mom. You should come with us tomorrow."

"I'd love that, Katie." I smiled.

Katie talked about the walk and everything she noticed. I paid attention to her words but none had me sitting up until she mentioned running into Larisa on her way back.

"You saw her? Did she try to hurt you?" I queried, checking Katie's body even though she was with Hazel throughout the walk.

Katie laughed, "No, mom. Why would she try to hurt me?"

"Because she doesn't like me much, baby. Please stay away from her whenever you see her." I warned Katie. Raiden might have removed Larisa from the list of suspects but I haven't. I didn't have any proof but Larisa would always be suspicious to me.

"Okay, Mom. I know she doesn't like you because she sees you as her rival." Katie would never cease to amaze me.

"What do you mean by rival? How do you even know such words?"

Katie rolled her eyes, "I'm not as smart as Kyle but I do know these things, Mom. That woman doesn't like you because she is interested in Dad but Dad seems to have eyes for just you."

My mouth hung loose. Staring at my daughter was all I could do. I didn't correct her about Raiden's feelings but I did think she should have seen him drolling over Larisa before I ran off with her and Kyle in my womb.

"She was crying when I saw her. She smelt like she was with Dad before I saw her." Katie supplied more details.

I didn't want to worry about what could have happened between Larisa and Raiden so I told my daughter to stop talking about her. We discussed our options for dinner and while I made dinner, I thought of places I could use tonight.

"How about Dakota's home? I

sensed a lot of spiritual energy there

the last time we visited. I believe Phoebe will help and we both know I need to burn some energy before I go ballistic." Inara suggested and also reminded me of her dominating energy.

"Noted. I'll go there after putting Katie to bed." I replied, knowing that Pheobe would be a good ally.

However, while putting Katie to bed that night, I gave in to my body's demands for sleep. I haven't slept well in five days for obvious reasons but that night, despite my plans, slept deeply. I didn't wake up until Hazel shook my body the next morning.

Even Katie was up and running when Hazel woke me up.

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep but Alpha Raiden has requested our presence in the pack's square by noon which is only two hours away," Hazel informed me.

If I could beat myself up, I'd have

done that as prepared for whatever Raiden had planned. Knowing that I had missed a perfect chance to find my son last night, I followed Jesica and Hazel to the pack's square Katie was running around us as we walked and she immediately went to join Raiden on the podium when we reached the square despite the crowd that had gathered.

"Join me." Raiden mouthed.

But I hesitated until Katie rushed down to drag me to Raiden. I considered asking him why we were there, however, I forgot how to speak when my eyes found two familiar faces in front of the crowd. "I know them..." I let out a whisper.

Leo and Mateo, right?

The two men that tried to...

Raiden announced while I battled with my memories and rage, "Today, I called you all here to witness the punishment bullies deserve and to send out a warning to others who haven't been caught yet-" Bullies?

It was at that moment that I realized that I wasn't the only one seething with anger. Katie was too and when I followed her sight and saw three kids shaking like water lilies, my rage tripled.

"Katie, darling, call the bad kids forward." Raiden permitted Katie to let out her rage and my daughter didn't hesitate.

What is that saying about daughters being just like their mothers?
