Chasing His Betrayed Luna 142. Like Butterflies
AURELIA~~“Happy Birthday!”This is the ritual. It has been for the past six years. I gather people the twins are familiar with and wait outside my bedroom door, In Tristan’s pack it was a mini apartment but here in the hidden pack, it was a wooden hut. Yet the ritual remains the same. We waited for Katie and Kyle to come out of the hut together, as I knew they would, and blurted those two words with bright smiles, warm hearts, and all the energy we could summon. However, unlike their previous birthdays, I wasn’t alone at the front of the familiar crowd. Raiden was with me and we stood side by side with outstretched arms. Katie ran into my arms and Kyle went to Raiden their faces reflecting their joy. Also, Iris who had tears in her eyes, stood behind me, her voice being the loudest as we collectively sang for Katie and Kyle. Iris could have passed for the happiest person today if Katie wasn’t squealing… Loudly.“It’s our birthday?” Kyle couldn’t believe it as he grinned from ea

ALPHA RAIDEN~~I enjoyed every second with Katie and Kyle. I bathed them and brought out my first set of gifts which was a light blue ball gown for Katie and a nice brown two-piece for Kyle. My Mom helped me pick out these gifts and the twins loved it.“You look like a real princess, Katie,” Kyle exclaimed, placing his small hands over his mouth as he stared at his sister who was teaching me how to style her hair the way she likes it.Katie pouted, “I want to be a strong warrior instead but I can be a princess for today.” I quickly chirped in for clarity's sake, “Who says you can’t be both, darling? You can be the strongest Warrior Princess in the realm. It’s okay to love dresses even as a warrior, baby.”Katie’s eyes twinkled, “Really? I thought warriors couldn’t be princesses. Tristan used to–” “Princesses can be warriors and you are my princess, baby.” I cut in before she could say any other word about Tristan. He shouldn’t be brought up today. Not on my watch.“Alpha Princess
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 144. First Kiss
AURELIA~~Gosh, I tried. I tried not to lose it on my kids’ big day but I couldn’t help it not when Raiden didn’t understand what he was doing and those he understood, he chose to manipulate me in those areas.“But she has been wanting one and I’ll provide a personal trainer who will help her train and keep her safe at all times.” Raiden defended himself. But that wasn’t enough. To be honest, the sword he planned to give Katie wasn’t the main problem, and gifting Kyle a personal library was thoughtful but how could he try to manipulate me while at it? That was what pissed me off. “I understand that you wanted to make the day special and I’m grateful that you are here with us–” “You don’t seem like it, Aurelia. I have to tiptoe around you all the time because I know you will explode in my face just like you are doing now even though all I did was present gifts to our kids on our behalf–” “You are manipulating me, Raiden!” I snapped as he was already pointing fingers at me. Rai
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 145. With One Kiss
ALPHA RAIDEN~~The white wolves still feasted on the resources I brought from my pack for the next five days. The hunters were relieved and everyone could relax. Everyone but Aurelia and I, of course. The mother of my kids has been doing what she knew how to do best– Pretend like I wasn’t in her life. Aurelia has been avoiding me and that wasn’t new but what was new was how she had gradually become paler and she seemed to be avoiding everyone aside from the twins. It was almost as if her skin color was fading along with that of her hair. How I wished she would talk to me. But at least Katie and Kyle were talking to me and my mom was making herself at home with the white wolves. She looked more alive now and I couldn’t be more grateful–Fuck that. I could be more grateful If Aurelia would just meet my eyes or talk to me and let me in. She was driving me crazy.“Perhaps you shouldn’t have asked to kiss her,” Lex grumbled, watching Aurelia through my eyes as she followed Mia Lu a
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 146. By His Side
AURELIA~~The weight of the world crashed into me. My chest rose and fell in a way that made my chest hurt. My eyes stung but soon became blurry and the solid floor shifted underneath my feet. I was tired. I was drained of spiritual and physical energy but didn't know when to stop… when to stop trying to see more than the goddess had already revealed to me.Emotionally, I was drained and It was not surprising when I felt myself falling backward. In fact, I embraced the feeling and let myself go for the first time since I unlocked my powers as a Seer. “Aurelia!” Raiden. He screamed but that didn’t stop my body from crashing into a body of water that I knew was the purifying lake not just because I had been standing closer to it but because Its perfect temperature embraced me and it felt like I was home, once again. “Hey. I’m here.” Raiden muttered to me as he gathered my body in his arms, joining me in the lake. “You are alright.” It was hard to tell if he was reassuring hims
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 147. Choosing Raiden
AURELIA~~“He’s right. Moving into Dark Moon Pack will protect everyone and we can learn to become even more powerful physically.” I voiced in support of Raiden. I knew he was stunned by the way his body tensed behind me. He didn’t expect me to back him up, not after I called him a manipulator the last time he mentioned returning to his pack.“So we are supposed to trust him with the lives of our people?” I rolled my eyes and everyone else in the hut groaned, shutting Jeremy up. Mia Lu sighed as she started speaking our minds, “For once, Jeremy can you just stop? Alpha Raiden just tried to expatiate the same point you were making and he suggested a solution but you are against him? I know your intentions are pure, child but this negativity you hold in your chest has to go.” Jeremy grumbled but he didn’t dare make a comeback. Mia Lu shook her head before looking at Raiden and me. She sighed, “We appreciate your offer, Alpha Raiden and we will have a meeting to decide if we woul
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 148. Dreamy Eyes
ALPHA RAIDEN~~She was staring at me with dreamy eyes.She was looking at me like I was her favorite snack and heck was she confusing me. Why would she look at me like that as she ate and make me want to be her food or her cutlery? Why would she–“She wants you, that’s why.” Lex spewed nonsense into my mind. I cautioned him instantly, “Please don’t start with me. I’m boiling up here and I recall how she ran away the last time I asked to kiss her.” Perhaps it was all just in my head. Perhaps she was just still sleepy and what she needed was space. I should take things slow with her. She hasn’t even taken me back or agreed to ever take me back–“In my opinion, you are too slow and you should close the space between you both not widen it. You are a fucking Alpha for goddess’s sake and Alphas have needs. Don’t be a puny, Raid.” Lex practically rolled his eyes in my mind, fueling the sudden hotness that was rapidly taking over my body. At that same moment, Aurelia rolled her tongue o
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 149. The Seer Realm
AURELIA~~Why? Why can’t I be happy? Why can’t my happiness last? Why does life have to keep kicking me in the gut, hard, like there was no one else to kick? This was becoming too much for me, and I no longer knew how to handle life. All I wanted was a kiss that would help me decide if I could choose Raiden and forget the past like it never happened. And to be honest, I almost believed we could be happy together when he touched my face and stared at me like I was the most beautiful and precious woman he had ever set his eyes on. He looked at me like he could see the moon in my eyes and smell heaven on my face… He looked at me like I owned him even though I had rejected him many times. Raiden looked at me and I loved it. I wanted everything he could offer. However, I was denied the satisfaction of taking him when I felt myself getting transported into the familiar realm– the same realm I had been trying to access so I could get a clearer glimpse of the visions– The Seer Realm

Chasing His Betrayed Luna 241. Alpha Tristan's POV (14)
ALPHA TRISTAN~~“You should take your leave.” The he-wolf who smelled like a strong gamma seethed at me. “She doesn’t want to see you.”Although I had been standing by the border of Dark Moon Pack for hours, I intended to remain there until I got to see Aurelia. “C’mon, Gamma Seth. You know we mean no harm.” Louis, who had officially resumed his duties as my Beta after I was reinstalled as Alpha, said to the strong Gamma. “This is a peaceful visit.”I simply listened as my Beta negotiated with the Gamma, feeling more like Louis was the Alpha. I would be lying if I said I haven’t felt useless these past few days. After regaining consciousness, I found out that Louis had become more influential, not only in my pack. Obviously. “Your ego is bruised?” Dolf mocked me. But his assumptions weren’t exactly the case. I just couldn’t wait to get back my strength and become myself again. “This isn’t about your intention, Beta Louis. It’s about my Alpha and Luna's wishes.” The Gamma answer
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 240. Living Dead
AURELIA~~Perhaps it was anger or hate, I couldn’t tell. Or maybe it was both. I was angry that Tristan was back to his feet even though I permitted Lori to send some Mender to Black Fur Pack to help him after Beta Louis took the oath, signed the peace treaty, and pleaded for help. I was so angry that my mate had to fall and Tristan got to rise again even though he didn’t deserve it.And for the hate, it was simple– I hated Tristan.Although my hate for Larisa was greater, Tristan wasn’t far from being another Larisa to me–“Talking about that bitch. She has had enough peace, don’t you think? It’s time we pay her another visit.” Inara snarled into my mind, fueling the hatred in my heart. My wolf had taken a hobby in tearing Larisa apart since she had become our prisoner– one that I wasn’t ready to kill just yet. Each time we pay her a visit in her cell, we torture her until death flashes before her eyes, leave her to healers to heal her, and return to start the process all over
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 239. Hell. Fucking. No!
AURELIA~~Life was different now. Before the war, I simply trained to get better and increase our chances of winning, but now, I am the leader of two packs and have more duties than I could have imagined. Life was different but one thing remained constant– my life was difficult.“Are you with me, Luna?” Andrew’s voice called me out of my self-pitying thoughts. I blinked rapidly, composing myself despite my desire to just go home, be with my kids, and–“Do you want to take the day off? I can handle the pack affairs while you recuperate.” Andrew offered and Seth who was sitting on the chair beside him nodded in agreement.But to be honest, I have rested enough. It’s been two months after the war and while a lot still needed to be fixed, the pack was recovering better than I thought it would, thanks to the help I have gotten from both sides– White Shade and Dark Moon.Andrew and Seth have been helping with Dark Moon’s affair and the elders of the White Wolves have been very helpful
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 238. Alpha Tristan's POV (13)
ALPHA TRISTAN’S POV~~As my eyes fluttered open, I could have sworn that my body had forgotten what it meant to be alive. Opening my eyes was harder than it should ever be for anyone but adjusting my eyes to the brightness around me was way harder than opening them. I let out a groan when I tried to lift a finger and pain consumed me. My entire body ached. I felt so heavy.“Alpha. You are awake.” Louis. That was his voice but it sounded more like noise to me as his voice sent a sharp ring through my aching head, making me groan again. At the moment, I didn’t feel like an Alpha. It took forever before I could see clearly and Louis's face was the first thing I saw. He was hovering above me, looking at me like he was scanning me for damages. “Thank the Goddess. I was beginning to worry that you might never wake up–” Louis stated, smiling. But seeing him so close to me sent flashes of what I knew was the past through my mind. I recalled everything. How he joined forces with Laris
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 237. Back To Life
aryAURELIA~~“We can’t give up like this, Relia. You shouldn’t give up like this. Mend him. Do something.” Inara uttered, urging me even though Raiden was gone. Do something… I couldn’t count the number of times I had heard those two words today and I hated the sound of it, mostly because I couldn’t do anything. “Yes you can, Alpha.” Tamia’s voice echoed in my mind. I didn’t know how she managed to reach me despite the turmoil my mind had become but she did and her voice would have given me some sort of peace if I wasn’t mourning my mate… My teary eyes found Tamia and Lori beside me, making me wonder how long I had sat in the dirt with Raiden’s body. For how long has his heart been crushed right there in my presence? For how much longer can I keep this devastating news from my kids–“Oh, my kids.” I cried out, undiluted misery settling within my being, making itself at home. They just got their father. How do I tell them it would be just us from now on? How do I manage this
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 236. A Dead Child
AURELIA~~I knew I screamed. I felt my lips parting and my lungs pushing out air as my mouth widened. I knew I screamed but I heard nothing. The world went still while Raiden kept falling. Faster than my brain could register. Faster than my body could react. Although I was still standing, I fell with him. Although my eyes were still open, they closed the second his eyes did. I saw the same darkness he saw when he closed his eyes. I felt the same pain he felt when his heart was engulfed by a strong force and maybe I screamed because I knew there would be no going back as that force crushed his heart before I could even blink. “No!” Inara’s cry burst through my crushed soul as she exclaimed, “Do something, Relia.” But what could I have done? After draining Larisa as my wolf suggested, I didn’t expect any sudden movement from her. Heck, she was as good as dead and when Louis screamed those warning words, I was too tired to react quickly. Converting Larisa’s dark energy to pure
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 235. Damsel In Distress
ALPHA RAIDEN~~It took seeing Larisa and Aurelia in a fight for me to realize that I was wrong to assume that I could take down Larisa just because I was the most powerful Alpha in the realm… Physical strength was no use against Larisa because she had soaked my soul in dark energy. She wasn’t even touching me and I was feeling pain despite floating in the air like gravity had decided to take a break.Sadly I realized that I was of no use in this war. In fact, I was merely a weak link that Larisa wanted to use to defeat Aurelia and have her way in the realm. I was trying so hard not to scream and came off as a powerless puny before my exhausted mate and my warriors but this pain was eating me alive. It was everywhere. Digging deep into me. I have been trying to block the pain from getting to Aurelia as I could tell that she didn’t need that right now. If I couldn’t contribute power, I shouldn’t add pain either.But of course, that wasn’t easy to achieve. I could feel the pain slip
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 234. The Better Party
AURELIA~~Raiden’s scream was heard by every warrior. I could feel every one of our friends and pack members freezing for a moment as we all understood that for an Alpha; in fact, the strongest Alpha in the realm; to scream like that, hell was coursing through him. We all understood. I, as his mate and Luna, knew even better because the second the hell burst out within him, I felt it burning me from within and it was only a matter of time before I let out a scream of my own. “You dare not, Relia.” Inara’s voice echoed, breaking through whatever Larisa was doing to Raiden which was affecting me greatly as I tried to keep the spiritual link between me and the warriors open. If those links should close, they would all die as they would be no match for Larisa’s fortified warriors. “It hurt. I’m burning from within and–” I cried to my wolf even though Phoebe was still right behind me, healing me and Otis keeping me out of sight.“Do you know why she is coming at you hard?” Inara as
Chasing His Betrayed Luna 233. Hello, My Love
ALPHA RAIDEN~~My feet couldn’t carry my body weight fast enough as I ran through the forest, noticing how deserted my pack was. Those pack members who were not in the hall with Mia Lu were with Aurelia on the battlefront where my body was literally yanking me toward.I was on high alert and if I was being honest with myself, I would admit that I wasn’t in my right senses but how do I even think when all I felt was the urgent and dying need to be with Aurelia? It was like a pull.The kind of pull a mate should feel only when his mate is in grave danger. The kind that makes a man’s heart bleed and every nerve in his body go out of control.Yes, I was losing it. I had lost it from the second I regained consciousness and felt the strange burn on Aurelia’s mark which was sitting on my neck.I woke up with the need to get out. To break free and get to Aurelia even though my kids were in the hall and beside me. The second I saw Mia Lu stagger due to exhaustion, I ran and hadn't stopped
