Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

The next few days went in a blur. Much to my relief and dismay, Alpha Raiden stopped coming to the room. He hasn't been here for the past two nights. He didn't let me leave the sex room and I also didn't know what was going on out there in the pack. I also didn't have the energy to do anything more than shower in the adjoining bathroom and wrap myself in the sheets that still smell like Alpha Raiden and I.

I was crazy for and about him. As stupid as that might sound.

Usually, my meals were delivered to me by servants who would push my tray of almost disgusting food through the space that I woke up to find underneath the door. The space was just big enough to let the tray in and out of the room.

Clearly, I had been living the life of a prisoner yet I dared not reject Alpha Raiden and free myself from the torment he was putting me through. The fear of what he was capable of doing to me if I tried to reject him again kept getting in the way... or maybe I was too scared of losing him just as much as I was scared of meaning nothing to him.

I was lost in my own thoughts when the bedroom door swung open, disrupting my thoughts as hope sparkled within me.

"Alpha Raiden..." I breathed, stupidly excited about seeing him. I jolted off the bed with the sheets still around me.
