Chasing His Betrayed Luna

AURELIA

I could strangle them both and kick them into the hot furnace of hell... the deepest hottest part of it.

My heart ached as I stormed off with stinging eyes that had me questioning myself. Why the hell was I furious? Was it the kiss they happily shared right in front of me while they had stolen every reason I had to be happy? Hell no!

It wasn't the kiss.

Although the kiss was a reminder of the day I entered Raiden's office only to see him fucking Larisa's face even though he was still married to me, I wasn't bothered about it. I was fuming because they had the nerve to be happy in front of me. There was no iota of guilt or remorse in their eyes as they foolishly shared a passionate kiss.

The only thing they didn't succeed in taking away from me was my kids. Every other thing was stripped away including my honor and my heart. I'd never forgive those two. They have to pay for ruining my life. They must pay.

"I agree with the aspect where they have to pay for what they did to you, Relia, but I backed off when you said they ruined your life." Inara's voice resonated. She took some of my raging feelings, easing my mind and clearing my cloudy eyes. "Look at how far you've grown, girl. They never had the chance to ruin your life. You fought and won and you'll win again if you decide to seek vengeance. I'll support you."

Seek vengeance? Was that really what I wanted?

Yes, I hated Raiden and despised Larisa but do I really want to sell my soul to revenge? What would happen to my kids if I were to choose that path?

I sighed, an overwhelming feeling growing with me. I felt defeated even though Inara just told me I was a winner. I could feel the eyes of curious pack members on me as I ventured further away from the arena. They most likely recognize me as their former Luna. "Ignore their lame asses. None of them stood up for you when you were down. Only Dakota did." Inara said to me, reminding me of my intention to see Dakota.

Although I failed to visit her yesterday, I'd thought she would attend the games and must have heard that I was in the pack but I didn't see her in the arena today. I had paid attention to everyone in the arena despite the large number, hoping to see Dakota. Without thinking twice, I started walking towards her house, taking the paths that I struggled to remember. Who was I fooling? I took the wrong turn at least three times before I made it to the familiar isolated bungalow building... my childhood home. Sighting the small courtyard brought a smile to my face and I forgot about Raiden and his woman. This house was where all my happy childhood memories were made. Dakota made sure I was happy even though I never fitted in even as a child and god did I miss that

sweet woman.

I had so much to thank her for.

My smile widened when I knocked on the wooden front door because I knew seeing Dakota again would make returning to Dark Moon Park worth it. I couldn't wait to hug her, tell her about my new life, and introduce the kids to her.

"Seems like no one is home," I muttered to myself, knocking again before Inhaling deeply, thinking I'd pick up Dakota's warm scent but the scent I perceived was so different... so unknown. It was as if I was in the wrong house. My knuckles hit the door again before an annoyed voice boomed from behind it, "What do you want now? I told you to leave me alone!"

The door swung open, revealing a brunette who appeared to be in her late teens. The irritation in her eyes dispersed when she saw me standing outside the door just as confused as she was.

"Who're you?" I asked her, wondering why she was in Dakota's house.

Inara stated, "The whole place smells like her. I don't think anyone else has been here in a long time."

The teenage girl rolled her eyes

kinda giving me a glimpse into my future with Katie as she retorted, "I should be asking you that question, Ms. You showed up at my door uninvited and if this is about the stupid pack games, I'm not

interested in attending it c

alone."

leave me

She made an attempt to slam the door in my face but I stuck out my foot and voiced, "Forgive me for disturbing you but I need to see the owner of the building. Can you tell me where to find her?"

I didn't question why she had no interest in the games because I probably would have felt that way if I hadn't become a warrior.

"You've found her." The teenage girl answered calmly. "I own the building. My name is Pheobe. What can I do for you?"This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

If I didn't know Dakota was the owner of the building, I'd have fallen for her acts. "Quit playing around, Pheobe. I'm here to see Dakota. She owns this place and-"

"Dakota?" Phoebe repeated, surprised for some reason I didn't know. "You knew Dakota?"

"Yes, I know her and I'd really love to see her," I answered, trying not to sound impatient.

Pheobe opened the door wider, her curious eyes aking over my body. She eventually asked, "Are you her? It was my turn to be confused since her question wasn't precise but she clarified, "Are you Aurelia? Alpha Raiden's destined mate and Luna?"

"I'm not your Alpha's mate nor am I his Luna but yes, I'm Aurelia." I corrected without flaring. Thankfully. "Can you tell me where to find Dakota?" I considered that Dakota

could have moved to the Pack's

home for elderly wolves while I anticipated Pheobe's response.

However, Phoebe went mute, sorrow etched in her brown eyes. She gazed at me like I was a missing piece of a puzzle she had been waiting to complete for many years but I soon became impatient. "Pheobe?" I called out to the dazed girl, hoping that she would stop wasting my time.

But the next words she uttered had me wishing she had remained mute. "Dakota is dead. She was found motionless in the living room five years ago."

My world spun and everything became blurry.
