ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

I was no fool. Aurelia might argue otherwise but I wasn't a fool.

I knew Aurelia was hiding something from me and she was lying to me.

Aside from the weird but strong energy that surrounded us before she labeled Larisa as the kidnapper, I’ve noticed a few other unexplained actions of hers. The nights she sits by the lake, moving her hands around like she was trying to channel or tap into some sort of unseen energy, the cries that came after what seemed like failed attempts to channel and–

“Don’t think too much, Raid. Aurelia definitely knows something and I bet she has plans to sneak out of the apartment again tonight.” Lex interrupted my thought as I walked out of the apartment after hours of planning secretly with Jessica and an absentminded Aurelia.

“Do you think I should believe her? A big part of me wants to trust her but I would be condemning Larisa after breaking her heart. I don’t want to hurt anyone else and who knows, Aurelia could have accused her out of

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   71. Time For War

    AURELIA~~“Get up. It’s time.” Inara announced. “They are asleep. Let’s move before Raiden shows up.” I jolted from the bed, grasping reality as my eyes flew open, quickly adjusting to the dark state of the room. I heard Katie and Hazel snoring peacefully and I quietly got off the bed, hoping to get out of the room without disturbing their sleep. “How many hours do we have till dawn?” I asked my wolf through the bond we shared while I threw on my leather training suit before slipping out of the room and closing the door behind me. “Two hours,” Inara answered. I inhaled sharply, “Two hours? How did I sleep for so long? Fuck! Jessica must have woken up to prepare–” “Relax. Jessica is still asleep. I can’t sense her consciousness in the house and I helped you sleep longer because you need enough physical strength to bring Kyle back. We only have one chance and we can’t mess it up.” Inara explained, urging me to stay calm. “You induced my sleep?” I queried in shock.“I did what I

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   72. Larisa's POV (6)

    LARISA’S POV (6)~~That sneaky bitch! Did she just yell out my name? Of course, I knew she suspected me but how could she come out here and yell out her suspicions when her son’s life was in my hands? Crazy bitch!My already frustrated aide muttered to me, “Did you reveal your identity in the note you adamantly sent to her?”He looked at me as if he was contemplating whether to rip my head off or abandon me in this dire time. “I wasn't named Stupid, for goddess's sake!” I exclaimed. “It's either she knows or she doesn't. Whatever it might be, I don't care. It doesn't make any difference.” Aurelia already made a mistake by showing up here. It shows that she cared about her bastard son but I didn't care about them. This morning, before daybreak, Aurelia and her son will be killed. I'll deal with the daughter later and there would be no one left to confuse Raiden. Love me or hate me, I'll be the one beside him when they are all gone. “This is crazy, Larisa. Very crazy and this pla

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   73. Lorita Or Whatever

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~Following Larisa was the best decision I have made in my entire life… well aside from getting justice for my daughter. I got to discover the truth about her even though I still couldn’t explain some things like how she walked out of the air. One minute I couldn’t see her and the next, she walked out with Kyle staggering and struggling weakly behind her. “What the actual fuck!” Lex gasped, shocked. Despite his suspicions, my wolf was still shocked to see Larisa drop her mask, revealing her real face as she stepped closer to Aurelia whose pain flooded my system. It took a while to get here. Larisa walked around in circles for a while before she disappeared. I didn’t know where she had entered but I could still sense her presence in the vicinity which was why I decided to hide and wait for her reappearance. I had thought to myself, “Where could she have gone? It’s an open forest. There is no building in this area.”It took seeing Aurelia after many minutes of waiti

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   74. Spineless Wimp

    AURELIA~~No. No. No.Jessica shouldn’t have revealed herself so that she could poke the bear. I could have handled Larisa and distracted her long enough for Jessica to arrive with help. She should have gone in search of help. Heck! We needed help. Larisa had a gun… not just any gun. A gun with silver bullets and one of those bullets could end Jessica’s life and mine… and Kyle's. Still, Jessica wore her pride like a second skin... like I hadn't been shot by Larisa's men who I failed to perceive until I crashed on my knees.This was one of the countless times I wished I could access Jessica’s mind like a pack member but spending almost six years in Black Fur Pack wasn't enough to make me an official member—“You've got guts,” Larisa mumbled, disbelief loud in her voice.Rather than keep her mouth shut, Jessica snorted, her footsteps sounding closer by the second, “What can I say?” She paused just as she stopped beside me, holding Larisa’s gaze without flinching, “I'm not a spineles

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   75. Larisa’s POV (7)

    LARISA’S POV ~~ I pulled the trigger. Twice. While Aurelia screamed, “Jessica”, I cried out, “Raiden” as he held on to his side, his eyes wide open. Prior to the second shot, I was fuming with anger because I let myself get tricked by the female Aurelia called Jessica. I had seen her a few times but I never cared about her existence until she walked up to me like she had a death wish. Jessica got me with her words. There was no denying that but nothing got me perplexed like seeing Raiden race toward me as I pulled the trigger for the second time, intending to put Aurelia out like I did with her friend whose body had hit the floor like a fallen tree. “H-how did you get here?” I cried out feeling a sense of grief as I watched Raiden fall to his knees. My eyes fell to his side. I could see his blood leaking out of him even though he was trying to add pressure to the wound. My head began to ache at the sight just as my chest constricted. I shot Raiden. I released a silver bul

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   76. In The Heart

    ALPHA RAIDEN~~My side hurt like a bitch!But that wasn’t what hurt the most. My brain, mind, and perhaps a huge part of my heart hurt as Larisa’s words sank into me faster than the bullet could have. I was groaning in pain and close to losing my life but I knew Larisa’s words would stop my heart before the silver bullet.I was an idiot. I clearly chose to trust and protect the wrong person. I was blinded. Heck, I was foolish. Even my mom– my parents knew something wasn’t right and they tried to protect me but I only hated them for their genuine efforts. Now I was alone. My warriors, who I had ordered to march over many minutes before I had to stop Larisa from killing Aurelia, were still not here for some unknown reason. The truth was glaring– I was a useless son, man, Alpha, mate, and father. I have failed in all aspects of my life and fallen for the tricks of the dark people that my father spent many years fighting. Fuck! I took us right back to the beginning. As I lay on t

    AURELIA~~“Let her be!” I shouted despite the commotion around me. “Leave her to me.” I recognized them as Raiden’s men but how could I ever leave Jessica to them? “We’ve to take her so you can focus on getting the boy to the healers. There’s no hope for her but your son is still breathing and you need to get treated–” One of Raiden’s men voiced with a bit of frustration and concern.“How many times do I have to tell you that I can fix her? I can fix all of these so just leave us alone.” I barked with tears streaming down my face and I held on to the hope that despite the time that had passed, Inara and I could find a way to make Jessica’s heart start beating again.Yes, there was a fucking hole in the middle of her head and blood was leaking out of her in a way that made my heart constrict. Kyle was unconscious and my back still ached from where the arrows were of course still poking out. No one would rip them out. “Alpha! Alpha!” I heard someone screaming from behind me and th

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   78. Rage And Hatred

    AURELIA~~The last two days in Dark Moon pack have been chaotic. The situation in the pack is what can be described as unpeaceful due to many factors. The most important factor is Raiden’s unavailability.Yes, Raiden was still unconscious.I didn’t expect Raiden to stay unconscious for two days. It was expected on Kyle’s part because my son was malnourished and had been deprived of good sleep but since Inara healed Raiden and helped get rid of the silver in his body, I thought he would be awake by now. “I might have left some of the toxic in his body to teach him a lesson,” Inara muttered into my mind, causing my eyes to snap to Raiden who I had never seen in such a peaceful state, not even during our marriage years. “You’re kidding, right?” I queried. “Yes, Relia. I’m not a toxic wolf and since I know you are dying to leave Dark Moon Pack as soon as Kyle is fit to travel and Raiden is up, I wouldn’t do anything to disrupt your plans.” Inara retorted and I sighed. It was good t

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   90. A Solid Plan

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien stared back at me like I had lost my mind, but soon, realization began to glint in his eyes. He went from angry to conflicted, and that broke my heart because I could tell that his family had once again gotten to him.“Oh,” he muttered, his shoulders falling.I stretched my hands to him, and he took them, joining me on the bed. I opened my mind to Dolf, asking him to create a mental link between Davien and me, even though a part of me wanted to keep the realization I had after Cole left to myself so I could protect my mate.“No, we have to tell him,” Zuri encouraged me.Zoe did the same when she said, “Yes. If we have been dancing to their tunes, it’s high time we changed the tune to ours and made them dance. We can’t do that without Davien.”I could feel Dolf agreeing with my wolves as he created the link between Davien and me. I then smiled at my mate, cupping his face as I sent words through the link: “He was glad we hadn’t marked each other. If only

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   89: Heat of Rage

    DAVIEN~~A waste of time.That’s what I would call this meeting with my dad. For goddess’ sake, we have been here for what? Almost an hour, yet all he has done is look down on me and try to intimidate me. He was beating around the bush.Even a blind man could see that.I could feel regret in my bones because staying with Katie, who needed me, would have been a better and more efficient way to spend the hour than sitting here listening to my dad.“That’s it. I am leaving,” I blurted, cutting my dad’s statement short.He grumbled, “But I am not done. Sit down.”“Done what exactly?” I seethed, seeing shock flash through his eyes for the millionth time. I would be stupid not to realize that he suspected I had a wolf now. “Reminding me that I am your unloved son isn’t doing it for me. If you don’t want me here or need my help, just let me know, and I will be out of your hair.”Damn! I just needed him to let me in on the plan. I needed something tangible to tell those who had trusted me…

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   88: Made Just For Me

    Princess Katie Anne~~“Why won’t anyone answer their damn phones?” I gritted, resisting the urge to throw my cellphone against the wall.Before I left home, we agreed that my family members would be accessible and that they would call me at least once every day, but even though this was my second morning in Black Fur, that agreement seemed to mean nothing.“There’s no special occasion. No ceremony or ritual that could have kept them busy since yesterday. I am beginning to worry,” Zuri said to me.However, I was too angry to be worried. I felt like my mom was screwing me because she already knew I would discover the truths she had tried hard to hide from me during my stay in Black Fur. Hell, I am certain she knew why I was trying to reach her.“Are they ignoring the calls intentionally?” Zoe queried, her confusion mixing with Zuri’s. “That’s far-fetched, Katie. We might have to be patient and—”A sharp knock on the door disrupted Zoe’s statement.I made the mistake of assuming that t

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   87: Unconditional Love

    DAVIEN~~Seeing Cole last night at the welcome party confirmed that my parents were trying their best to rile me up. The party wasn’t enjoyable for either Katie or me, but we didn’t leave until it ended. While I spent the entire night thinking about when my dad would tell me why he asked me to come home, Katie spent it wondering why no one from Dark Moon was answering the countless calls she put through.I could feel her troubled mind as if it were mine, and it pained me that all I could do was hold her.“You should talk to Jade. Perhaps she might be able to shed more light—” Dolf started, but he cut himself off and sighed. “Never mind. What she needed was to speak to her parents. She needs answers that Jade or anyone else can’t provide.“I still have to have a word with Jade. She shouldn’t have accused Katie like she did yesterday,” I said to Dolf, even though I agreed with his conclusion.Looking down at Katie’s restless face, I made up my mind to keep her far away from Cole, who

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   86. A Good Sign?

    Princess Katie Anne~~“I won’t let them treat you like this.”I seethed as the tension around us thickened, even though the crowd was still cheering. Davien’s hold around my waist became tighter, and I knew he didn’t want me to lash out, but I had had enough of this.How could they treat him like he didn’t exist, even in a ceremony? Amber had a seat to herself, and so did Damien, who wouldn’t stop staring at me like the creep he was. His parents also dared to flash those false smiles my way, walking over to clearly show me to my seat.“Thank you for joining us, Princess Katie,” Alpha Jarrett uttered with a light voice, and cheers echoed through the hall as members of the Black Fur Pack jubilated.However, I wasn’t merry like the rest of them, and with every second that passed, it became harder to pretend.“Please sit, Princess.” As expected, Luna Cynthia pointed at the only empty seat on the higher platform in the hall.Zoe barked within me, “The audacity!”My wolf’s anger only fuel

  • Chasing His Betrayed Luna   85: Over Her Soul

    DAVIEN~~“That can’t be,” Katie whispered as she staggered into the bedroom, her face pale and hands trembling.I picked up the bag Jade had dropped, followed Katie into our bedroom, and locked the door behind me.“She really is dead?” She asked me, horror etched into her stormy blue eyes.I nodded, shocked that Katie didn’t know that Aunt Jessica had died thirteen years ago. My mate collapsed on the bed, and I knelt before her, holding her hand and telling her to breathe.“To protect Katie and Kyle, Aurelia hid the news of Jessica’s death from them. I also don’t know the full story, but I am at fault because of the part I played. Larisa might have pulled the trigger that killed Jessica, but I put her in the position to get killed for my selfish desires,” Dolf said to me, taking on the blame even though we all knew he had nothing to do with everything that went down thirteen years ago.“You mean it’s all Tristan’s fault. You can’t take the blame, Dolf, and it wasn’t right for Jade

    Princess Katie Anne~~Davien and I woke up late in the afternoon. While Davien had more than enough reason to sleep for as long as we did, I didn’t have any because—“You have more than enough reasons, too, Katie. Have you forgotten what Davien did to you before you both slept?” Zoe asked before shoving explicit images of Davien fucking me into my mind as if I didn’t live that memory a few hours ago.I turned red and threw the covers over my face while Davien went to answer the door. Fortunately for whoever was at the door, Davien and I woke up before he or she could disrupt the peace we worked hard to achieve.I wouldn’t have forgiven the person at the door if they had woken Davien, regardless of the reason.“Hey, Jade. Why are you here?” The familiarity and affection in Davien’s voice didn’t go unnoticed.Zuri chimed through the mind link, “I thought he said he didn’t have a friend here? Who is Jade, and why does he smell as happy as he sounds?”Call me jealous, but I was out of

    Princess Katie Anne~~My mate was struggling. I could sense that fact all through the night, but I had to pretend like I didn’t because I didn’t know how to help him. The second I opened my eyes this morning and saw his face, I knew he didn’t get enough sleep or maybe didn’t get to sleep at all.It was at that point that I knew I had to find a way to help him escape the demons that haunted him in his sleep. It’s only been a night in Black Fur, and he already looked like shit. I couldn’t let his family think for a minute that they were getting to him.“What if I take the memories away?” I blurted before I could stop myself.Damien, who had just rolled out of bed, stopped dead in his tracks and looked at me with his brows raised. “Huh?”“I don’t really know how, but I know Grandma Iris performed a trick that erased Kyle’s memories after he was rescued from Larisa. I can call her, ask her how to do it, and do the same for you so you can have peace, Davien.”I tried to explain to my ma

    DAVIEN~~Of course, the right-hand side of the father. Of our father.Since we were young but old enough to understand power and the amount that came with being the pack's next Alpha, Damien had made himself our dad’s right hand, and our dad made it easier for him to do that since he was the favorite child.Usually, I would have chosen to sit at the foot of the table or eat alone, but since my dad was invited to dinner and asked to sit right here by my dad, I should have known Damien would have a problem with that.“He is so full of himself,” Dolf grumbled within me, almost showing himself and just how powerful he was, even though we had both agreed to keep him a secret for as long as possible.My family still didn’t know I had a wolf, and when they found out, I knew it would change everything. My brother would most likely see me as a threat for the first time since we were born.“Wait till they find out I am your wolf,” Dolf chuckled as Katie’s response to Damien echoed through th
