Chasing His Betrayed Luna

ALPHA RAIDEN

I stood in front of my mansion, pacing as I deeply considered my options. I have been standing here ever since I watched Aurelia drive away with my kids... with Tristan who she should never have trusted.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I pulled at the root of my hair when I felt Andrew's consciousness in my head again. He has been asking me for permission to attack as we both felt Tristan and his entourage drawing closer to the border where Andrew had stationed troops. It was hard to make a decision that I knew would come back to bite me in the ass.

But my failure to give the last order would also tear my ass off as soon as Aurelia and my kids get past my borders. It would be hard to get them back.

I allowed Andrew into my head and said to him through the mind link, "Keep Aurelia and the kids safe during the attack-"

"They didn't make it to the border, Alpha." Andrew's voice echoed in my mind.

My feet froze and my breath hitched as I said, "They didn't?"

"Yes, Alpha. I've been trying to communicate that to you for the past ten minutes but you didn't allow me access to your mind." Andrew explained.

I muttered, "Ten minutes? Are you sure?"

"Certainly, Raiden and I've been informed that the cars are driving towards the apartment. I believe you're still there. She's coming to you, Raiden." Andrew filled my mind with more information.

But they didn't quite quench my thirst for explanation. Why did she turn back? Could she have changed her mind about leaving? But why? These questions echoed in my head before Andrew's voice resonated again. "Brace yourself, Raid. This might be good or very bad. I've asked Jake to send more men to you just in case you need protection." Andrew said.

I was about to respond when I saw the cars fast approaching. Dust filled the air due to how fast they were moving and my heart sank because I could just tell that whatever was bringing Aurelia back to me was very bad. She proved my thoughts right when she stepped out of one of the cars with Tristan hot on her heels. Her face was red and her stormy blue eyes had changed to an almost white shade, dilating as she drew closer to me. Aurelia bared her teeth at me, growling and snarling. That was a clear indication that she was about to lose her shit and give her wolf full control of her senses.

"This isn't good," Lex mumbled, pushing himself deeper into my consciousness. That was his way of protecting himself from what we both perceived as Aurelia's wrath. "You son of a bitch!" Aurelia growled, stopping in front of me. I thought of reminding her that my mom was a loving woman but that thought was slapped out of me. Yes, she slapped me.

Firmly and precisely, causing pain to erupt from my cheeks. I could have sworn I heard my jawbones cracking but regardless of the pain, Aurelia didn't hesitate to strike that same cheek again, her face as red as the deepest shade of red. "How could you think of doing this to me!" Aurelia screamed in my face.

Of course, she was angry but my nostrils picked up the awful smell of pain as it rolled off her. She grabbed me by the collar and she cried out, "You're heartless. I know that but I never expected that you would prove your point this way."

I presumed she and Tristan had sensed the troop of men waiting for them at the borders even though they didn't get there before turning around. With this assumption in mind, I uttered, "I warned you, Aurelia. I told you it would be your fault. Are you ready to reconsider? Stay with me with my kids-"

"They are mine! Not yours!" Aurelia snarled.

We were beginning to attract a small

crowd made up of Black Fur

members who were once settled in the cars. Little Katie was also watching as Aurelia roughly

expressed her displeasure. I diel

want her to find out I was her dad the same way her brother did

because I didn't want to hurt her...

I never intended to hurt Kyle as well and I craved to make it up to him.

"We both know that's not true," I whispered because of Katie. "They are mine as they are yours and I need to be a part of their lives. I won't let him raise them, Aurelia."

"You did this because you can't stand him raising them?" Aurelia scoffed, her anger still evident in her voice. "He has been doing that for over five years of their lives-"

"That's more than enough, Aurelia!" I snapped, peeling her hand off my collar and holding them tightly. "I did wrong by you and I'm sorry. I admit my mistakes. What more do you want from me-"

"I want nothing from you except my son," Aurelia interjected. "Bring Kyle to me and I'd be out of your hair."

Kyle?

What nonsense was she spewing now?

"Why would you ask me to bring

Kyle to you-started, asking her to clear my curiosity but it suddenly drew on me that If Aurelia was

asking me for Kyle, he must be net

missing. "Kyle is missing?" I I queried out of shock, searching her eyes for answers but all I saw was pure rage.

"Don't play games with me and return my son to me this instant!" Aurelia exclaimed, mindless of the crowd watching us.

It was clear that she couldn't bring herself to be cautious at the moment.

"I don't have him, Aurelia! Dammit! You saw him leave with the nanny before your departure-"

My words of defense were cut short as Aurelia smacked my other cheek with her balled fist. She delivered another blow to my face, making it known that she hated the sight of me. Again, she didn't stop there. She kept kicking and punching me and I let her. I didn't know what else to do.

"Give me back my son!" She repeated again and again while inflicting pain on my body.

Alpha or not, Aurelia's hit hurt me physically. It took determination to not grunt as she attacked me yet I didn't try to stop her.

"I don't have him and If he is really missing, you're wasting precious time. We should be looking everywhere for him-"

"You kidnapped him so give him back!" she snarled at me, cutting me off again.

Tristan kept his distance, an amused smirk on his lips as he watched us. My brows furrowed and before I could stop myself, I blurted, "Have you considered the possibility of your beloved fiance kidnapping our son? Or you simply assumed the worst of me-"

"Shut up and give me my son!" Aurelia barked.

Of course, she didn't think Tristan could be the bad guy.

As much as I could let her hit me all day long, Kyle had to be found. I initiated a move to stop Aurelia's punches but she chose that moment to kick me and she didn't stop... not until Katie began to wail.

Aurelia's balled fist froze in the air when Katie's cry invaded her ears. She turned to Katie who stunned us all by stuttering these words with conviction, "S-stop hu-hurting my Da-dad, Mom..."
