Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 27

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.
