Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 56

AURELIA

~<>~

It's been over twenty-four hours since Kyle went missing and even though neither Katie nor I could feel the bond we shared with him stretching, Katie was becoming restless and worry was eating me away as seconds ticked into hours.

Although Alpha Tristan has been receiving calls from Black Fur Pack because he was needed back at the Pack, he has refused to leave me and the kids behind. He and the little group of warriors that traveled down with us were out all night searching for Kyle together with Raiden’s men yet my son hasn’t been found.

Where could he be? I cried to myself.

“Katie is watching, Relia. Please don’t break down now. Kyle is missing but he is alright. I can sense that.” Inara consoled me.

“I just want to see him and hold him. He must be scared, Ina.” I whimpered to my wolf.

I thought since Inara could sense Kyle, she’d be able to trace him and lead us to him but after so many failed attempts, we’ve given up on that method.

“I still don’t understand why I can’t trace him, Relia. It’s like he disappeared from the surface and there is something potent keeping me from perceiving him. I know he is fine but–”

You’ve explained this to me countless times, Inara. I get it. Kyle is fine but you can’t find him… no one can.” I mumbled to my wolf, smiling at Katie.

We have both been in the same room I had said goodbye to yesterday. Being here made me sad but not having Kyle here with us was devastating.

“When will Kyle be back, Mom? I miss him. Can Dad bring him back now?” Katie stated, ending her statement with a question.

After I realized that Kyle was missing, I told Katie that Raiden wanted to spend some time with him and added that Raiden would bring Kyle back before nightfall… and that was last night.

“You said I’d have my turn to have fun with Dad before we leave his pack but I want to be with him and Kyle. Why can’t the three of us have fun together, Mom?” Katie expressed herself, crawling into my lap.

I pulled her closer, massaging her scalp as I rested my back against the headboard of the bed. “You don’t want to spend time with mommy, huh? Is that what you’re saying?”

Katie stared into my eyes, shaking her head. “I want that, Mom but I know you aren’t happy. Do you want to tell me why? Did Dad hurt you badly? Is he a bad person?”

I had gotten over Katie referring to Raiden as her dad. He was her dad and there was no point lying to her anymore. Everyone in Raiden’s pack and Black Fur already knows about my past.

But telling Katie about how Raiden hurt me was something I didn’t want to do. I’d rather die with that story.

“Yes, I’m sad, Katie but this has nothing to do with Raiden and no, he isn’t a bad person, Baby.” I lied without batting my lashes.

“Then why won’t you stay with him? Families stay together, Mom and Kyle and I hate the idea of stepparents even though I love Tristan.” My daughter announced, causing me to frown.
