Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 73

ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

Following Larisa was the best decision I have made in my entire life… well aside from getting justice for my daughter.

I got to discover the truth about her even though I still couldn’t explain some things like how she walked out of the air. One minute I couldn’t see her and the next, she walked out with Kyle staggering and struggling weakly behind her.

“What the actual fuck!” Lex gasped, shocked.

Despite his suspicions, my wolf was still shocked to see Larisa drop her mask, revealing her real face as she stepped closer to Aurelia whose pain flooded my system.

It took a while to get here. Larisa walked around in circles for a while before she disappeared. I didn’t know where she had entered but I could still sense her presence in the vicinity which was why I decided to hide and wait for her reappearance.

I had thought to myself, “Where could she have gone? It’s an open forest. There is no building in this area.”

It took seeing Aurelia after many minutes of waiting for Larisa to reappear for me to realize that this area was the marked spot on the map we received with the note. I fucking lost my mind when I saw Aurelia and I knew for sure at that point that Larisa had something to do with my son’s disappearance as well.

It was hard to not leave my hideout and approach Aurelia who seemed to be speaking confidently. I even saw her smirk a couple of times, taking steps like she could tell where to go. This wasn’t the plan yet I let Aurelia do her thing and she was fine until arrows were fired out of nowhere and at Aurelia.

The way she fell on her knee made it known that the arrows were laced with some sort of poison. Aurelia's screams broke me and I was quick to let my eyes scan the forest, hoping to find the shooters so I could make them pay for hurting the woman I loved… even though she never ceases to disobey me.

Lex’s eyesight became one with mine and soon, I found two shooters. One was hanging on the branch of a tree which was far from me and the other was leaning against another tree, hiding in plain sight.

After getting over Larisa’s reappearance and seeing her with Kyle, confirming that she was indeed the kidnapper… Truth be told, there was no getting over that but I sprung into action regardless, quietly moving towards the shooter closest to me.

“Take them out and help Aurelia before we lose her to the witch you chose to love!” Lex snapped at me.

This wasn’t the time to argue with him or let the guilt he was trying to plaster all over my mind take over me. I needed to be focused but a question lingered in my heart– Was Larisa a witch? Witches were banished many years ago and it’s rare for a werewolf to be a witch but it wasn’t impossible as long as the werewolf gets initiated and invited into a coven by a powerful witch.

Larisa couldn’t have been initiated–

My thoughts were cut short when I arrived by the tree and found the target lying on the floor, completely knocked out.

How?

“The second one is out too,” Lex announced into my mind as my eyes cut to Aurelia and Larisa.

“That can only mean there is someone else here. I can’t sense–” I started talking to my wolf while keeping my eyes on what was transpiring between Larisa and Aurelia.
