Chasing His Betrayed Luna

AURELIA

"How much longer do I have to lie to her? She has lost trust in me, Hazel." I compalined to my bestfriend.

It's been three days of unending search yet Kyle hasn't been found. From what I heard, Tristan and the others had arrived in Black Fur territory earlier today, and hearing that filled me up with a bittersweet emotion.

I was happy and relieved to know Tristan was home safe but it broke me each time I think about how my kids and I should have been with him.

Although I hadn't seen much of Raiden in the past three days, I still hated being here. Katie was beginning to hate me for keeping her from Kyle just like I kept her from Raiden all her life. Although she hasn't voiced her hatred, I could see it in her eyes, and goddess did it make me feel awful.

"Have you considered telling her the truth? Katie is a bright child." Hazel took her time before she let out those words.

We were both in the living room. The apartment has become too big for just us but even the space wasn't enough to make me comfortable.

"Bright or not, Katie is still just a child and Kyle is her brother. She'd find it hard to cope on her own if I tell her that her brother has been missing for three days." I whimpered, trying not to burst into tears again. It's been three days of crying while Katie wasn't watching and to be honest, I was beginning to feel useless.

"I know, Lia. Let's hope to get some good news before the day ends." Hazel smiled even though her eyes reflected the sadness in her soul. "While we wait for that, please eat, Lia. You can't keep starving yourself."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I can't eat, Hazel. I don't even know if my son is eating wherever he is being held. Kyle must be so scared." I whimpered, wiping tears right underneath my eyes before they could trickle down my cheeks and leave marks.

"Katie can't notice that you haven't eaten in three days, Lia. You've to be strong for her, remember?" Hazel encouraged me.

I stared at the already cold breakfast that Hazel took her time to prepare earlier today. I knew eating would be the only way to appreciate Hazel's effort but I just couldn't bring myself to do that. Katie was currently with Jessica in the backyard. They mentioned something about raining before they left the living room where I had been spending most of the day.

I stayed in the living room because it was closer to the entrance door and it would be faster to get news from Raiden's men if I stayed in the living room

"Eat, Relia. I need you to stay strong physically because I have been storing a lot of our spiritual energy for a task I believe would help us find Kyle." Inara's words motivated me.

However, I sighed because I promised Tristan I wouldn't use my abilities. "We can't do anything that would reveal my powers, Ina-"

"He asked us not to reveal that I'm a

white wolf and we can keep our promise to him but it doesn't have hinder my plans. We can't go

another day without getting Kya net

back Think about it, Relia. I've spent three days preparing for the task." Inara explained without pushing.

One of the abilities I have unlocked ever since I knew that my wolf was special was foresight. I wasn't a seer but I often have a glimpse into the future or get a vision about what has already happened. I haven't

developed the ability much because Tristan told me that I needed to improve my physical strength to gain control over the gift.

In fact, I discovered that Inara didn't surface during my sixteenth birthday like most wolves because I wasn't physically strong enough to have her strong presence in my mind but the birth of the twins strengthened me physically and triggered Inara's eventual appearance...

At least that was how Tristan explained it to me years ago.

"You're stronger than you know, Lia. Trust me to help you become the best version of yourself." Tristan had once said to me.

"I'll guide you as best as I can, Relia. Tristan didn't get to help us sharpen this ability but I can help. Trust me." Inara stated while Hazel stared at me with expecting eyes.

To Inara, I voiced, "I trust you." and to Hazel, I muttered, "I'll eat, Hazel. You don't have to babysit."

Hazel smiled, "If that is what it takes to make you eat, I'll gladly babysit you."

I laughed for the first time in three days as I started eating my cold breakfast. Hazel offered to heat the food but I refused her offer, eating as much as I could to boost my physical strength.

"If we don't get Kyle back tonight, find a spot that we can use for the spiritual process in the forest. Let's bring Kyle home." Inara announced. My wolf was confident in the ability that we had never utilized and she sounded hopeful.

Soon, the sun set and we didn't get any news about Kyle. Katie asked about her brother again before she went to sleep and yet again, I lied to her. However, I snuck out to find Kyle that night after Katie, Hazel, and Jessica fell asleep. I trusted Inara to guide me like she said but after many attempts, I still failed to unlock the spiritual strength needed to perform the process.

I failed to find Kyle and I could only cry as I wondered how many more days of separation I and my kids would have to endure.

"You have a thing for crying in the middle of the forest at an ungodly hour, Aurelia."

Those words hit my eardrums. I swiveled around, coming face to face with puffy-eyed Raiden...

He looked like shit... just like me.
