Raven's POV

I opened my eyes and stretched out my hand. Rune was not on the bed beside me.

Where was he?

His side of the bed was rumpled. Oh so he had left.

Why should I care where he went? I sat up with a sigh. Glancing down, I saw that I was still very naked.

 My clothes lay in a pile on the ground.

My thoughts drifted to Lila again. 

Maybe he took her with him to my parents' pack.

Where else could they be?

I jumped to my feet and wore some clothes. I was headed to the door when my eyes caught a picture on the dresser. 

A picture of myself and Lila with our parents. 

We were thirteen years old.

I stared at the picture, at the smiles that brightened our faces then. 

Where had it all gone wrong?

How did things get this bad?

Was it wrong to take in an orphan as my sister? Tears fell from my eyes as I wondered.

Why was I thinking about this?

Lila used to be an orphan, pitied and given much attention. I cared for her a lot, and sometimes overlooked the things she did. 

Maybe that was why I was suffering its consequences now.

And now, even my parents preferred Lila to me.

They had, from the moment she stepped foot into our house. 

She had been treated with all the love and care that I needed. 

Everyone around us treated her like family, a sister to me when she wasn't. And she had turned around to shove a knife in my back.

What could I do but let it happen? I believed they meant no harm and wanted her to feel at home.

How was I supposed to know the man I love didn't see her as just a sister? 

How was I supposed to know she would end up taking Rune from me?

My wolf grew more annoyed at this thought. I stopped the flow of these thoughts, sighed, and sat back on the bed.

The front door suddenly opened. I didn't want to look at Rune's face, but his mother's voice made me lift my head.

"You are worried again, aren't you?" She asked.

"No, Mother." I gave her a smile. "I only woke up from a nap. I couldn't find Rune next to me or in the room. 

Has he gone to my parents' pack with my sister?"

"No, my child." She walked in and touched my shoulder lightly. "Your husband went for a rogue attack.

 He left a few hours ago."

I could feel the older woman's eyes on me. I could tell she was worried too.

 Her explanation made me feel guilty for thinking he was with my sister.

Was I to be blamed?

"Well, I only came to see how you're faring," she continued.

"I am well, Mother. Thank you." I said and smiled again.

"Oh, and make sure you send someone to clean the garden!" She noted, turning to leave.

As soon as Luna left the room, I picked up my phone from the bedside table.

"Stay safe." I typed the message to Rune and sent it, hoping for a reply. 

There was none. I mind linked him and there was no use of it. So maybe he went to help another pack... He's a good alpha indeed, after all. 

Maybe I bothered him too much,

I told myself, shaking my head.

He must be at the war front, I thought, after an hour with no response.

I tried to distract myself with something, until it was time for dinner. 

So I took a walk down to the pool to relax, I sat by the pool with my legs in for some time.

After my meal, worry set in again.

I stared at my phone, expecting a message from the man I love, the father of my babies.

 I roamed the room, looking for any sign of Rune. I asked the guards in agitation, if they'd heard any news about the war.

 They all told me the same thing— rogues were hard to get rid of, and Rune might be there for a long time.

Worry filled my heart as I considered the possibility of him dying at the front. I couldn't bear the loss, if news of his death came.

Who would help raise our kids? What would their fate be? I asked myself, about standing when a new maid approached.

Did she lose her way again?

This made me smile as the young woman stopped in front of me and bowed.

"My lady, I need your help with a task from Luna. I don't know how to do it and would love your assistance."

Stunned, I sat back down.

"What is it, maid?"

"I was asked to clean Lila's room," she explained, seeing my grimace. 

"But I've never done it before, and I'm worried. Luna said, 'Do it the way she likes.

 Ask the Luna-to-be if you get confused.'"

I smiled, Luna always asked for my input before doing anything.

"I'll help you after my bath," I said, heading to my room.

 "Wait for me here," I added, then took a bath before returning.

Together, we walked to Lila's room.

I didn't want to do this, but what could I do? The new maid clearly needed help, and Luna might take offense if I refused.

Lila used to live with us before leaving for the human hospital, and I had never entered her room. She valued her privacy a lot.

Maybe the maid didn't know Lila's standard of only maids in the room, I thought as the key turned and the door opened. 

We stepped inside.

The color looked familiar, I thought.

Coincidence that Lila's room color was the same as mine before I married Rune?

Confused, I walked to the nearby wardrobe.

I opened it and was shocked.

What was this? Has she been doing this the whole time?

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna   Chapter 118

    Rune's POVI stood in the middle of the mall, arms crossed, watching as Lila darted from one stall to the next. She was talking excitedly to a vendor, pointing at some kind of decorative item that, honestly, I couldn’t care less about.I had only come here to pick up a few supplies for the pack, a quick and simple task. But somehow, Lila had attached herself to me, insisting she knew better about bargains, about quality, about‘What the pack would truly appreciate.’I’d tried to convince her to stay back, to let me do this on my own, but she wouldn’t hear it. She’d practically bounced up and down, saying how she could help me pick “just the right things,” and before I knew it, here I was, following her around, trying my best to look interested as she babbled on about everything and nothing.“Alpha Rune, look at this!” she called, waving a bright scarf in the air, pulling me from my thoughts. “This would be perfect for the ceremony next month. Imagine how it’ll look draped over the tab

  • Alpha's Regret: Chasing My Forsaken Luna   Chapter 117

    Rune's POVI sat in the car, staring at the empty house in front of me, my hands gripping the steering wheel so tightly I thought it might snap. The address had led me here, to this empty, silent place. I was sure this was where she’d been living. But now, she was gone.“Alpha,” Liam, the Omega who'd come with me called from the passenger seat, breaking the silence. He’d been silent for most of the drive, but I could see the look in his eyes now—concern, hesitation.“You’ve been looking for her for a long time. Maybe… maybe this is just a timing issue. Maybe she didn’t know you’d be coming.”I let out a long, heavy sigh, leaning back into the seat. “It’s not just today, Liam. Every time I get close, it’s like she’s already gone. Like she’s keeping tabs on me and so she knows when I'm coming.”I shook my head, frustration bubbling up.“It’s just… this doesn’t make sense.”He shifted, glancing between me and the house. “Maybe she isn’t trying to avoid you, Alpha. Sometimes people leave

    RAVEN POV “This works.” Aella gave a nod. Since we got to the boutique, it was anything I preferred she agreed with. “Do you always have to agree, Aella?” At some point, I couldn't hold back my thoughts so I asked the question. “Take another cart and go picking. I'll filter them when we're ready to pay and leave, mm?” Happily, she gave a nod and started to walk away. The next time I saw her, she walked past me and headed to a section of socks - what I believe we needed. Winter was coming and the babies would be needing as many socks as possible. The thought of having them in less than three months brought a smile to my face. It was high time I went for my next appointment, and it happened to be tomorrow. Just when I wanted to move again, I looked up and it looked like there was a gaze I met, but this person was gone from my sight. Was I imagining things? Of course not. I held the handle of the cart and started to walk again, smiling with the many thoughts running around my head

After a long moment, the door opened again.“Rune?” a gentle soft familiar voice called.I looked up to see Lila standing by the door, her golden hair tumbling over her shoulders, her lips painted red as always. But she had a curious expression on her face laced with suspicion.“Who was that woman?” she asked, her tone a little bit stiff and I could hear the jealousy behind her voice“An informant,” I replied with a cold tone not wanting to have any argument with her as there was already a lot on my mind. “About?” she probed.I hesitated, I wondered ibi should share this new information about Raven as it was no news that Lila had a grudge with raven but there was no use lying. Lila always saw through me. “It’s about Raven.”“And?has she been found?” she asked. “Not yet.” I replied sitting
