Chasing His Betrayed Luna

AURELIA

I chuckled, shaking my head while still maintaining eye contact with the woman who had made my life a living hell even when I was the Luna of this pack.

"Did you say you are here to warn me, Nina? Are you kidding me?" I asked, seizing her up with my eyes.

She pushed herself off the edge of the bed and took a step closer to where I was standing with my kids. I didn't even bother to ask her how she made it into the room without getting questioned by Black Fur warriors scattered around and within the building. "I'm dead serious, Aurelia. I know you don't trust me but you need to... just this once-"

"Stop shitting yourself, Nina, and get the hell out of my room before I make you regret sneaking around." I spat at her.

I was damn sure she already planted something dark and evil in the room or perhaps a spy camera. I would be damned to trust her. I did save her from Larisa in the dining hall but I wouldn't hesitate to stab her in the heart if she posed a threat to my babies' life. "Please, Luna. Please just give me a minute-" Nina tried again.

But I quickly cut her off, "Don't call me that!." My eyes darted to my kids who were paying close attention to Nina to my dismay. Katie would not hesitate to ask questions as soon as Nina left and Kyle was most likely putting two and two together in his head right now. And why the hell is everyone hell-bent on having a minute to talk to me these days?

"Do you think he sent her here?" Inara asked me, snarling at the possibility of Raiden having a hand in Nina's unwanted presence. "He does have a history of sending her to do his dirty work."

Oh, he does...

I glared at Nina, gritting, "I'm not your Luna and my name is Lia. Now, leave."

Nina shook her head and surprisingly, tears glinted in her eyes, the same broken woman I saw in the dining hall that night emerged. I stood frozen, watching her intensely and wondering what could have gone wrong with her. This wasn't the Nina I knew.

"Don't fall for those crocodile tears, Relia. Aside from Pheobe, no one in this pack can be trusted. Kick her ass out and start parking because we're leaving this hell hole tomorrow." Inara warned me.

Perhaps I would have listened to her if a tear hadn't trickled down Nina's face, bringing my attention to the red bruise on her face. As if she could tell that my resolve was breaking, Nina took a step closer to me.

"We need you here," Nina mumbled. "We need you to stay and save us, Aurelia but none of us deserve you and you've to leave as soon as you can before she comes for you too."

What the hell was she talking about?

My brows furrowed. I was mad curious but I shook my head, telling myself that whatever she was saying wasn't my problem. Everyone in the pack could be dying for all I care. "She's evil, Aurelia. If you don't leave soon, she'll come for you and them." Nina pointed at my kids, triggering my maternal instincts.

I snapped, "Who the fuck are you talking about?"

Now it was my business because nobody is allowed to threaten my kids.

"Larisa, Aurelia." Nina gasped out as she responded, closing the distance between us just to grab my hands.

I snatched them from her, snorting, "You might want to warn me about something I don't know, Nina because Larisa is old news." "You're saying that because you don't know what she's capable of neither do you know what she has been doing to the pack-"

I barked, "I don't care!" Nina's eyes

searched mine in a way that told me she didn't believe that I didn't care about what was happening

theel

pack sex told her how I felt. "Why" should I care about what she has been doing to all of you? You chose her over me, remember? You all did!"

Raiden wasn't the only one who chose Larisa back then, his pack members did as well, causing me pain among other dreadful feelings. "We didn't know better, Aurelia-"

"I don't want to hear it. I'll be out of

here tomorrow regardless." I interrupted firmly, stepped away from the door so I could do what Inara had told me- Kick her ass out. "Get out and never come back to

this room while I'm still here or I'll

make you pay for everything."

A part of me felt bad for threatening Nina like this but I consoled myself with the fact that she had done so much worse to me in the past and she probably would have continued treating me like shit if I hadn't returned stronger.

This time, Nina didn't argue. She

the door."As long as you are happy with Black Fur pack, please stay there and never look back. No matter what happens. This isn't a healthy place for you nor is it for

them. A good mother at for

knows

what's best for her kids."

She didn't wait another second after saying those words to me, causing my heart to skip a million beats.

She knows...

She knew I-

"Mom," Katie called for me as soon as Nina stepped out of the room.

I tried to remind my frozen brain that I needed to breathe as my eyes fell on my little girl. "Hmm..." I hummed in response.

"Who's that woman, Mom and why do you look like a scared ghost?" Katie questioned, making gestures towards my face which I assumed was pale.

If Nina already knew that I was a mother, who else knew? Raiden? Larisa? Everyone in this goddamn pack?

Goddess no-

"Mama." Kyle held my hand to get my attention. I sucked in a deep breath because I knew what was coming and I was tired of lying to my kids. "Why did she call you Aurelia? Is that your full name? Do you know her? She also called you Luna." Please please-

"Auntie Hazel once told me that you were not born in our pack, Mom. Were you born here? Are these people your pack members?" Katie threw her own questions at me as well.

My eyes shifted from one twin to the other. Three pairs of storm blue eyes in a staring contest as I thought of how to answer their questions without lying to them or avoiding giving an answer.

Unfortunately, I found none but fortunately, the bedroom door opened to reveal Hazel. I sighed in relief, hoping that her arrival would take the kids' focus off the answers they were expecting from me.

However, Hazel's next words affected me instead. "Lia, you're needed on the training ground. Jessica had an accident. Alpha Tristan wants you to take her place in tomorrow's competition." "Accident?" I was more worried about Jessica because I knew she would have still participated in the competition if she hadn't been severely injured. "How?"

"Just go to the training ground. I'll stay with the twins and please be careful." Hazel said to me.

I thanked her before dashing out of the room towards the training grounds which was right behind the building.

Gosh, I need a break!

But clearly, I wouldn't get one. Not anytime soon.
