Chasing His Betrayed Luna



ALPHA TRISTAN'S POV (4)

~<>~

“Argh!” I groaned angrily, flinging my cell phone against the nearest wall.

A shattering sound reverberated in my bedroom as pieces of the cell phone scattered across the floor. Blood pumped fiercely in my veins and I could have sworn that the world had suddenly turned red because that was all I saw.

"I told you not to leave her there but you didn't listen." Dolf seethed within me.

My wolf believed this new development wouldn't have happened if I was still in Dark Moon pack with Aurelia. Perhaps he was right. I couldn't be certain but I was sure as hell that Jessica wouldn't have died in a strange territory if I was there.

And Aurelia wouldn't be there alone with the bastard that brought this doom into her life... our lives.

My fists clenched as I recalled the last time I saw Jessica. I also recalled breaking Jessica's leg intentionally just to get Aurelia to perform in the finals of the stupid pack games! Stupid! I was so stupid!

Of course, I was used to losing my warriors to death but Jessica was one of my most valued. I had big plans for her. Raiden's bitch has definitely put a hitch in my already progressing plan and that riled me up.

"Are you crazy! Are you worried about Jessica's place in your plan instead of Aurelia and the twins? They are suffering in that pack, Tris!" Dolf yelped, losing his usual calm tone as he shoved his anger down my throat.

I facepalmed myself, my conflicting interests doing more harm than good. I promised Aurelia that I'd find a way for her to heal Kyle but I honestly do not have the time to carry out research at the moment. I had my hands full and-

"Your hands are full of shits if you ask me and I'm sick of it!" Dolf bellowed before putting a mental wall between our minds, restricting any form of communication.

Although this wasn't the first time Dolf and I'd argue about my feelings for Aurelia and determination to avenge my parents, it felt different... more intense. However, I couldn't ponder on the issue because my Beta knocked on my bedroom door and I let him in, stepping on shards of my phone screen without flinching.

"Good morning, Alpha Tristan," Louis uttered as he closed the door behind him. The second he noticed the mess on the floor, he froze by the door, remaining there as I returned to my bed, staring at him in a way that expressed my willingness to listen to whatever he had to tell me. "I came bearing news."

I sighed, trying to clear my mind because I could perceive Louis's happiness and if he came with good news, I shouldn't let my foul mood ruin the moment. "Speak, Louis."

"I received news from our men." Louis began with a smile. "They have successfully captured three other smaller packs without attracting unwanted attention or alerting the bigger packs of our mission."Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

I scorned, "Three? Just three?"

"Y-yes, Alpha-" Louis was stunned by my reaction.

But I wasn't quite done. "How long do I have to wait before we move on to the bigger packs? Do I have to do everything myself!" I snapped, losing control over my emotions as Aurelia's words flashed through my mind.

Fuck! I was a mess.

After trying to reach her countless times in the past few days, this was what I got. Hell!

"Just pick a side already and stick with it, asshole." Dolf lowered the mental wall enough for those words to slip into my mind along with his rage. Louis read the room accurately before he carefully muttered, "Did something happen, Alpha? You are not one to lose control regardless of "

“Jessica is dead." I cut in with a good enough answer and continued with everything Aurelia told me.

Since I couldn't speak with Dolf, I might as well open up to my Beta.

"They killed one of our own." Louis snarled.

"I'll make sure they pay for that,” I murmured, my voice dropping octaves lower than normal. "From what Aurelia told me, Raiden's bitch could use dark magic and she is currently in hiding. I want you to lead some men, search for her, and bring her to me before Raiden gets her. Be careful and bring her alive. She has to die at my hands."

Louis grunted sharply, both of us forgetting about the three packs he came to me to discuss. My Beta was about to take his leave when he suddenly paused and gasped, What if this is the opportunity we have been waiting for?"

He faced me as I raised a brow. "What opportunity?" I questioned.

"Getting betrayed by the woman he chose to love must have crippled Alpha Raiden in many ways and he'd be focused on catching the betrayer, punishing her, and-"

Before Louis could finish explaining,

I inhaled sharply, realization

slamming into me with full force. "Raiden is distracted by his pack affairs so he wouldn't have the time and resources to interfere in external affair. We can use this time to take down some of the bigger packs. Most importantly, Moon Stone Pack."

Taking over Clinton's financially buoyant pack with active trade routes to other realms would increase my chances of achieving my goals. "Yes, Alpha.” Louis smiled. “This is our chance. We all know Moon Stone can't stand against our military force and win without Dark Moon's support." "Moon Stone will fall into my hands and Raiden will lose one of his allies," I muttered, loving the sound of that.

Louis continued, "After taking Moon Stone, we can move on to Dark Moon Pack-"

It was at this point that I cut him off, "We won't be doing that until Aurelia and the kids are back home... where they belong."

I couldn't risk losing them in battle.

Whereas, if this new plan works out, my love for Aurelia would have all the time in the world to blossom.

"It's time we bring them home." Louis, who already knew better than to badmouth Aurelia, said to me, offering his support.

“That, I agree....” I etched. “But first, find the witch and bring her to me."

Louis nodded, bowed, and left my room after he stated, "I'll get someone to clean the mess."

With Louis gone, I immediately saw a future with Aurelia in my arms, wearing a beautiful crown that only I could give her.

She'd be mine.... My Queen.

I just have to bring her home and to do that, Kyle has to get better. Without any more doubt, I moved to my private library to find the help Aurelia needed from the pages of books only I had access to.
