Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 76

ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

My side hurt like a bitch!

But that wasn’t what hurt the most.

My brain, mind, and perhaps a huge part of my heart hurt as Larisa’s words sank into me faster than the bullet could have. I was groaning in pain and close to losing my life but I knew Larisa’s words would stop my heart before the silver bullet.

I was an idiot.

I clearly chose to trust and protect the wrong person. I was blinded. Heck, I was foolish.

Even my mom– my parents knew something wasn’t right and they tried to protect me but I only hated them for their genuine efforts. Now I was alone. My warriors, who I had ordered to march over many minutes before I had to stop Larisa from killing Aurelia, were still not here for some unknown reason.

The truth was glaring– I was a useless son, man, Alpha, mate, and father.

I have failed in all aspects of my life and fallen for the tricks of the dark people that my father spent many years fighting.

Fuck! I took us right back to the beginning.

As I lay on the forest floor with Larisa’s confession threatening every belief I ever had and the credibility of everything I knew to be true in the past few years, my world collapsed. It wasn’t shocking to see Larisa running off after she voiced those heartbreaking words to me and despite my foggy sight, I could see her deliberating as her eyes shifted from me to where Aurelia was crouched over Jessica's body.

At that point, I could only pray that someone… anyone would show up to stop her from killing Aurelia and Kyle who could be de-dead for all I knew.

Thankfully, Larisa ran off, her parting words echoing and causing a painful ache in my head, “It pains me to see you die for her but don’t worry, she’ll be dead soon as well and I’ll finally get everything I’ve ever wanted.”

It wasn’t until she left that I heard Aurelia muttering incoherently. Or perhaps the silver has spread through my body and affected my hearing just like it affected my connection to Lex. I couldn’t feel my wolf nor could I feel my legs or my tongue anymore.

So this was how it felt to be betrayed, humiliated, and maltreated by the one we trust and love?

This was what I made Aurelia endure for three years of our marriage. Although I didn’t use a silver bullet, I shot Aurelia in the heart many times just because I was foolish and blinded by infatuation and unwarranted hatred.

“I thought I had figured it out and understood my mistakes.” I thought to myself while fighting the urge to stop breathing but with every breath I took, my punctured side hurt and bleed even more. “But I was wrong. I don’t deserve another chance and Aurelia should never forgive me.”

I knew that now because I’d never forgive Larisa for all she did, not even in my grave. Where I knew I would be in a few hours.
