Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 54

ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

My son was kidnapped within the walls of my home…

I was still getting used to having a son but there was no getting used to the fact that my home was not safe for my son and neither was my pack safe for my daughter.

How did anyone get into the mansion without alerting my senses? For fuck’s sake, I’ve been standing in front of the mansion for what seemed like forever. Even though I couldn’t perceive Kyle for some unknown reason, I should have perceived the person who kidnapped him.

But strangely, there was no scent to lead me to the kidnapper…

Just a flimsy note with words that were obviously scribbled hastily.

“You want to see your son again? Await further instructions. Your ability to obey the instructions given would determine if you’d see him alive or dead, Alpha Raiden…. And oh! Congratulations on finding your long-lost destined mate.”

Those were the words in the note left in my office by whoever took Kyle. I held on to Kyle’s mask as I fumed. How did I go wrong with this pack? Bullies were terrorizing under my nose and now kidnappers?

“Someone on the inside must have done this. We can still find them if we hurry, Raiden.” Lex barked into my mind, his anger steaming as it collided with mine.

I strolled past Aurelia who was on the floor, crying while Tristan comforted her. I thought about leaving Tristan in my office. That could be dangerous if he goes sniffing around but since Aurelia was there with him, he wouldn’t risk blowing his nice guy cover.

When I entered the living room, I opened the mind connection between me and my warriors… every one of them. My words poured into their minds as I ordered fiercely, “A little boy was kidnapped in my mansion some minutes ago. I do not want to hear any excuses. Just find him and bring the kidnapper to me!”

They didn’t have to respond. I trusted they would carry out my order–

“We can’t just stay here and await further instructions. We’ve to find Kyle fast, Tristan. We have to find him and get out of this pack before I lose both of my kids.” Aurelia cried to Tristan who had succeeded in getting her off the floor of my office.

Tears were rolling down her face as she spoke and the sight of her made my heart tighten. I loved that I was still connected to her even though our bond was barely alive.

“I’ve sent out a search party for him, Aurelia. He’ll be found. I promise you.” I informed her, hoping my words would ease her worry.

But she cried even harder, lashing out at me, “This is all your fault. Someone is out to get you and they are using my son as bait. You bring nothing but misery into our lives, Raiden but yet you’re selfish enough to ask me to stay in your pack with my innocent kids. They don’t deserve to be treated like this–”

Tristan cut in like a hero, “I’ll find him, Lia. Trust me.”

She gazed at him with fondness despite how sad she was. I’d be lying if I said it didn’t break my heart but I gave them space. Even if I lose Aurela to Tristan, I shouldn’t lose my son to a faceless and spineless kidnapper.

“Katie needs you to be strong and composed when you step out. Don’t let her sense that Kyle has been taken. Can you do that?” Tristan asked Aurelia, cleaning her wet face with his personal napkin.

Although I hated him, I couldn’t disagree with him. Katie shouldn’t see Aurelia in this state.
