Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 48

ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

They have got to be kidding me!

The kids are mine?

Fuck the question! That boy is mine which makes the girl mine as well.

How could she keep that from me?

“How did we not perceive them as ours?” Lex voiced out his concern, sounding just as shocked as I was. “The boy looks like you but he doesn’t smell like ours, Raiden.”

My thoughts returned to Kyle and I could vividly see his face in my mind. He was a younger version of me. I inhaled deeply, picking up the scents in the room, hoping to get a whiff of Kyle’s but I got nothing.

“How’s that possible, Lex?” I asked my wolf, sharing my thoughts with him.

If Aurelia would just tell me the truth…. The truth has to change our already existing dynamic. I might have thought of raising Tristan’s kids just to get a chance to be with Aurelia but there was no way in hell I would let him raise my kids.

Lex scoffed, “He has been raising them, Raiden. You were not a part of their lives and if Aurelia wants, you’d never be–”

“If they are mine, I’ve got the right to be in their lives. She can’t deny me that any longer than she already has!” I countered, crackling my knuckles to contain my emotions.

“Do you?” Lex asked sarcastically.

I thought of arguing with my wolf but a twitch in the depths of my stomach made me realize that there has to be more to everything I thought I knew. God I’ve questions–

“I know you do. I also have questions but you can’t be selfish right now. Nothing matters more than Katie’s well-being right now.” Lex interjected and I tried not to think about how my daughter almost bled to death in the middle of a forest where she shouldn’t have been in the first place.

“Dammit!” I cursed out loud, attracting the eyes of the two women who came into the hospital with Tristan. I knew one of them was a warrior and I’ve seen the other one with the kids countless times. Perhaps she’s their nanny.

My mind was a battlefield at the moment and I considered walking into the inner part of the hospital to get answers and of course, check on Katie. After all, no one could stop me. I remain the Alpha of this pack.

However, Tristan uttered a command to the ladies with him, “Return to the apartment and start packing for our departure. Hazel?” The nanny looked at him, her head bowed as he continued, “Don’t leave anything behind. Jessica will try her best to help you.”

“Yes, Alpha.” The nanny answered.

The other woman who might be Jessica nodded to acknowledge Tristan’s words. She picked up her wooden crunch and walked out with the nanny.

“You’ve to be crazy to think I’ll let you leave my pack with them.” I gritted as soon as those two were out the door.

Tristan pushed himself off the wall he had been leaning against and he chuckled, holding my gaze as he retorted, “You’ve to be delusional to think I’ll leave this pack without my family, Raiden.”
