Chasing His Betrayed Luna



ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

"Gently, Mom."

I whispered, holding her gently and guiding her steps as we walked out of the pack's hospital. It took two days for my mom to regain the energy she used to heal Kyle's mind and Kyle was also fully recovered which meant we could all go home.

Kyle was in Hazel's arms and Katie walked hand in hand with Aurelia. I felt at peace knowing that this was the last time any of them would be at the hospital because of me or as a result of my failures.

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but now that Kyle is healthy and discharged from the hospital, Aurelia would begin planning her return to Black Fur Pack. They would be gone, Raiden." Lex imprinted each word into my mind.

My breath caught in my nostrils as his words echoed in my head and knowing that he was right killed me but I didn't react. Instead, I helped my mom down the sloppy exit of the hospital and sighted Andrew and a few of my men standing beside two cars.

Although my home wasn't exactly far from the pack hospital, I asked my Beta to arrange transport for my family- Goddess, I hated that they would be leaving me soon. How would they be my family if they are leaving for Black Fur and to be with that son of a goddamned bitch?

"Let me, Alpha." Andrew etched when he reached my side, asking to walk my mom to the car. I let him and he said to my mom, "You look pretty today, Iris."

"You mean to say I look less horrible, don't you?" My mom faked a glare.

And just like always, Andrew fell for it. He stuttered, "Of c-course no-not, Iris."

My mom burst into laughter, patting Andrew's hand. "How do you always fall for that, son? You are not five anymore."

"Oh, goddess, Iris." Andrew exhaled, relieved and reliving our childhood days when my mom started pulling pranks like this on him. "You haven't lost your powers, I see."

"I look older and seem rusty but I'm still that woman, Andrew." My mom winked at Andrew, earning a deep growl from me.

Andrew laughed with my mom before he said to me, "Don't worry, Raiden. She's always your mom. I won't try to steal her." "You already tried but you failed, Drew." I retorted with a light chuckle.

Andrew ignored me to help my mom into the back seat of the first car and he quickly got behind the wheels. "Are you coming with us?" Andrew asked, staring at me as I stood beside the door without entering.

"Yes, as soon as I make sure they are settled in the car," I replied, my eyes on Aurelia, the kids, and Hazel as they apparached the second car, one of my men holding the door for them.

"I want to become a daddy soon." Andrew faked a whimper, making silly faces at me.

I scoffed, “You aren't even a mate yet. One step at a time, I suggest.”

Those words escaped my mouth

before I remembered that I wasn't a mate either. At least not anymore and I might stop being a dad the second Aurelia leaves my pack with the twins. My heart ached at the thought of my future but I

"You won't try to stop her from leaving? Or earn her back?" Lex asked anxiously.

My wolf already perceived my answer but I confirmed sadly, "Yes, Lex. She's free to go if that's what she wants. I won't try to stop her or trap her. She's free to decide."

I wasn't sure I could recall the exact moment I made up my mind to let Aurelia and the kids go but there was no doubt in my mind as I said those words to my wolf. However, my heart was drowning in unfathomable sorrow.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

As if she could feel my gaze on her, Aurelia's head turned in my direction and our eyes connected. Despite the state of my mind, I couldn't help but think about her beauty and regardless of my sorrows, even my heart leaped for joy.

But it didn't last.

Aurelia entered the car, joining the kids at the back while Hazel sat at the front, beside the driver.

Sighing, I entered the car as well,

choosing to sit at the front with Andrew while my mom enjoyed the back seat. I knew it was only a matter of time before I'd have to formally introduce the twins to my mom as their grandmother but What's the point of that if they would be separated soon?

Hell yes,

I was scared to see them leave.

I wished they wouldn't, in fact.

But I've accepted my fate. Or should I say the fate molded for myself? That sounded befitting after all I had done to ruin my chances and life, These thoughts clouded my mind all through the ride to my mansion. Andrew and my mom chatted all the way but I could only dread the inevitable.

"Welcome home, Iris," Andrew murmured as he killed the engine.

"Home will be the mansion Ronald and I lived in while we ruled the pack and the place Raiden grew up but this will do too. It's my son's home and I can see myself loving it here with the twins and Aurelia around." My Mom smiled as she let out those words.

But her smile soon turned into a frown when she found out that Aurelia and the kids had been staying in the apartment behind my mansion and not with me.

“Are you kidding me, Raiden? You made her stay there and allowed Larisa to live with you?" My mom gasped, anger and disappointment burning in her gray orbs.

"It's a long story, Mom and I know I'm a disgrace but it's better this way." I sighed. "Aurelia would be leaving soon with the kids."

“Leaving to where?" My mom asked. “I thought she has returned and you guys are on the path of reconciliation."

“That's far from reality. Her home is at Black Fur and the kids love it there—"

My mom exclaimed, "Black Fur? Are you out of your mind?"

Maybe I have but nothing was going to change even if I hadn't lost my mind. I had given up but my mom said, hell no!
