Chasing His Betrayed Luna

ALPHA RAIDEN

My senses intensified when her gaze burned holes into my head and lingered. I knew it was her and my eyes quickly shifted to have a glimpse of her.

There she was, walking confidently towards the warriors' section and dressed like one as well. Her black leather pants fitted her beautifully but it also made her appear stronger than I could remember.

Heck! I couldn't remember Aurelia as strong.

She used to be everything but strong.

But clearly, Andrew was right again. Aurelia was different. She has changed physically as well. The subtle curves that only I used to see in our sex room were much more visible and something inside me twisted when I realized that I wasn't the only one looking at her right now.

She used to wear her hair long and free but now, the black long hair I used to pull each time I push myself into her sweetness has been cut short, defining Aurelia's jawline.

Fuck!

"Funny how you're pissed yet horny. You want her badly but you can't have her." Lex didn't hesitate to make fun of me as desire flared within me, battling to dominate the anger I couldn't shake off.

Ignoring my wolf's comment, I kept my eyes on Aurelia even though I could feel Alpha Tristan's eyes monitoring me like I would behead him any moment from now. Tristan and I had a history and he wanted something I would never let him have.

I would soon take my woman back as well... even If I have to drag myself through hell to make sure she returns home with me.

"Your aura is becoming terrifying, Alpha. Can you tone it down a bit and maybe look at someone other than that woman?" Andrew's words vibrated in my mind.

"That woman is Aurelia, Drew. The earlier you accept that the better." I grumbled, sending my response to My Beta who was sitting behind me and right beside Tristan's Beta.

"According to the research I carried out overnight, that woman is Lia and she has a close relationship with Alpha Tristan. Please don't brew trouble by-" Andrew started.

"I need someone to believe that I'm sane, Drew, and you are the only person I have. That's Aurelia, trust me and everyone in this pack is hiding that fact even Tristan. There is no way he accepted her into his pack if he didn't know that she was the woman who rejected me. He is definitely keeping her here so he can use her against me." I said to Andrew, sharing the theories I'd come up with over the night.

"Or she is staying here because it's better than the home you provided for her. Have you stopped to consider that fact? Why would she give two fucks about the man who abused her and kept her locked up? Wake up, Raiden." Lex etched blatantly, calling me out of my delusion.

Andrew also said to me, still using the mindlink to keep our conversation private, "I trust you, Raiden but I am also scared for you. You've been disoriented these past few years and having that woman back might ruin everything for you. You've Larisa at home. Perhaps it's high time you cut off the bond by accepting her rejection and moving on. She has moved on here with Alpha Tristan and-"

"Don't even complete that statement!" I found myself barking at my Beta and letting out a growl that caused every Alpha to turn their heads but I didn't care. "She is mine and I'll get her back."

If I was to even let Aurelia go, it wouldn't be to someone like Tristan. Never.

I was still thinking of the best way to get Aurelia home with me when a little girl who looked oddly familiar crossed the sections and ran into Tristan's arms, grinning from ear to ear.

For the first time since I have known Tristan, he smiled genuinely and picked up the little girl who muttered, "Hi, my darling. How're you doing today?"

Tristan responded fondly despite the presence of other Alphas, "You're here so I'm doing great."

I wondered if Tristan had found his mate and started a family during the years I had spent secluding myself from relating with the council of Alphas as I watched him interact with the little girl.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"He did mention kids to Aurelia yesterday. What if she is theirs?" Lex grumbled.

She better not be his kid with Aurelia. Andrew didn't get news about any romantic relationship between Tristan and Aurelia. They couldn't be together...

My heart clenched tightly as envy set into it. My eyes lingered on the little girl who had made herself comfortable in Tristan's lap. She was the only person who had caught my attention and taken my gaze off Aurelia.

I couldn't help but envy Tristan. He probably has a family but I was barely keeping my life in order even though I was powerful. Tristan had it all. More reasons he shouldn't get to keep my Aurelia. She was still my Luna, in fact. With jealousy in my heart, I tear my gaze off the little girl and quickly open my mind to Andrew once again. "I don't know how but make sure the next rounds of this competition happen at home. Make sure she goes home with me."

Yes, that wasn't a decision for Andrew to make but he didn't argue. If I can't take her back here for obvious reasons, I'll take her back to my territory and make sure she stays there this time. That was my thought as the games began officially.

To my surprise, the opening duel was to happen between a muscular woman whose name was announced but I didn't hear... I wasn't listening until I heard the next name.

"Warrior Lia of Black Fur Pack."

My Aurelia stepped forward, her features hard and her steps confident. My heart skipped because I knew there was no way Aurelia would defeat her opponent. I gasped and my eyes cut to Tristan as I wondered if getting Aurelia killed during the games was his way of using her against me. However, the little girl in his lap cheered for Aurelia louder than the fear beating in my heart. "You've got this, Warrior Lia!" She chanted boldly.

But I could already tell Aurelia would get hurt and I would lose my shit right here before everyone. Fuck, Tristan!
