Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

7. For The Baby

AURELIA

I lay in bed... in agony.

My eyes were swollen and my body burning from the intense and unbearable pain that I had to endure all through the night. It was a new day - the day Larisa would be crowned Luna of the Dark Moon pack.

The day I would be dethroned and publicly insulted. Perhaps I should be out there fighting for my title and my mate but I was still suffering from all she and Alpha Raiden spent the night doing. I felt it all this time.

Maybe it was because Larisa already told me about their steamy moments, I couldn't tell but I felt the effect of every thrust, touch, and kiss that my mate pleased Larisa with over the night.

For some reason, the bond carried Alpha Raiden's betrayal to me.

I lay in bed lifelessly.

"Please take my soul now, Moon Goddess. Let me die now. I can't take this anymore." I thought to myself, hoping that the moon goddess would hear my internal cry as I couldn't part my lips to speak. I just wanted to die.

If I died, everyone would get their happy ending.
