Chasing His Betrayed Luna



ALPHA TRISTAN'S POV

~<>~

My cell phone ringtone blared loudly as the device vibrated in my pocket, creating a distraction during an important meeting.

My men and the elders of the pack looked at me while I ignored their gaze, taking out the device and saw a familiar name flashing on its screen. I exhaled, thankful that it wasn't Aurelia calling again.

A lump raised in my chest as the thought of her crossed my mind- Fuck! This is exactly why I've been ignoring her calls and avoiding speaking to her even though it was killing me. Talking to Aurelia would take me back to the library and I couldn't afford to be stuck there right now.

My pack needed me.

Of course, it pained me to know that Kyle was still suffering because of my inability to help as Aurelia asked. I haven't been able to find any means to help Kyle in the library and I didn't know if I could tell Aurelia that without breaking her heart-

"Stop lying to yourself." Dolf seethed within me. "You would have found something if you weren't focused on setting up this special unit of warriors in the hope of conquering Moon Stone Pack. You and I know that so stop fooling around!"

Clearly, my wolf was still mad at me but he wasn't seeing the bigger picture.

I can always find a cure for Kyle later but if I miss the chance to attack Moon Stone Pack now, I might never get another chance. I couldn't risk that. "But you can risk Kyle's life? What if he dies?" Dolf asked angrily. "Perhaps Kyle's death would be a dream come true for you. After all, you want nothing more than to end Raiden's bloodline, and Standing by while the little boy dies is a good way-"

"Enough, Dolf!" I snapped, unable to take any more of my wolf's crazy words. "Kyle isn't dying. I won't let him. I care about him and-"

Dolf growled, "Stop lying, prick! You don't care about anyone but yourself. I hope Aurelia stays the hell away from your manipulating ass."

With those words shoved ferociously into my mind, Dolf blocked me, keeping himself from me. My blood boiled as my wolf's anger coursed through me. A deep growl forced its way out of my mouth and some of my men trembled visibly, the smell of their fear invading my nostrils.

The cell phone had stopped ringing but my head was still ringing.

“You are all dismissed. The plan remains the same." I said gruffly, my voice echoing through the meeting hall. Everyone left except Louis who received a glare from me. I gritted at him, "You should leave as well."

"Yes, Alpha." Louis bowed but painfully continued, "I was just wondering if I might be of help to you. You seem angry-"

"You want to help me?" I seethed. "Find that bitch! That's all I ask of you, Louis."

"We'll find her soon, Alpha. She's good at hiding herself and her tracks but I'm certain we are closing in on her-"

That wasn't good enough for me.

I wanted Larisa now! Not any minute later.

"Just leave," I commanded and this time, Louis didn't dare defy me.

If I get Larisa, I'd prove to everyone that I genuinely care about Aurelia. I'd prove to Dolf that I wasn't a manipulating asshole-

The ringtone of my cell phone broke my thought and I realized it was the same person. Eagerly and angrily, I answered the call. "What took you so long to get in touch with me?" I snapped into the speaker of the phone.

"I'm sorry, Alpha. I haven't been able to gather enough information before now-"

I cut her off, “Just tell me what's going on. How's Kyle doing?"

With a shaky and low voice, she answered, “Kyle has recovered, Alpha.”

"Recovered? How is that even possible?" I couldn't believe my ears.

"Ye-yes, Alpha." She chimed. "I didn't know how but I was told that Alpha Raiden's mom healed him and now we are back to the apartment."

"And you are just telling me now?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

I've been worried sick about him. The only reason I let you stay back was so you could keep me informed, Hazel." seethed, recalling the day I called Hazel to the side and made her my ears and eyes in Dark Moon after I realized that I'd have to leave Aurelia and the kids there.

Jessica would have been a good option but a warrior like her wouldn't want to taint her relationship with Aurelia. Hazel was a fragile one, easy to manipulate-

Manipulating asshole...

Dolf's words resonated in my head and realization slammed into me. Dolf was right about me.

"Forgive me, Alpha. Katie has been

with me a lot these days and I didn't have the privacy needed to call you." Hazel mumbled, her voice low. "Not even now but I needed to let you know that Aurelia confirmed that we would be returning to the pack soon. l'assume she meant before the week runs out." Content Belongs to

The last part of Hazel's statement brought a smile to my face and I realized that I might have to attack Moon Stone pack sooner than planned. "Very well, Hazel. Keep me updated-"

Hazel interrupted, adding more information. "Aurelia also told me that she's mad at you. She seemed very angry, Alpha but that wouldn't stop us from coming home."

"Hmm... I know what to do." I mumbled.

No doubt, she was mad because I

hadn't been answering her calls nor did I return any. I made a mental note to call her. It's a good thing already made sure Aurelia can never hate me. No matter what, she'd always feel the need to forgive me.

Before I could hang up, I heard Aurelia calling out to Hazel. "It's time to go, Hazel." She said.

"Coming," Hazel replied and she tried to end the call.

But I asked, "Where is she going?"

Hazel whispered a response, "To dine with Alpha Raiden and his mother. We were invited for dinner. I've to go Alpha or she'd hear me."

Hazel ended the call immediately and I was left to eat dinner alone while Raiden had all the fun or so I assumed.
