Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

15. Those Gray Eyes

AURELIA

For a pack that has been thriving on military power and ability, Black Fur looked festive for the first time since I became a member of the pack. The pack hasn't welcomed anyone into its territory in the past five years... no one except my kids and I. Even for us, it took more than a year after I had my babies for the pack members to fully trust and accept us.

But the Pack Games which will be kicking off tomorrow have changed the system of the pack. Ever since Alpha Tristan announced the competition to the pack last week, every pack member has been preparing to be a part of the competition.

The warriors, the healers, the kids and even the older wolves have been assigned to carry out various duties and unfortunately for me, I have been assigned to the guest house that Tristan had prepared for all visiting Alphas and their men. I was to welcome them and help them settle in with some other warriors and omegas.

Although I was no longer an omega because I had become a warrior, I still worked with the omegas and in fact, my best friend, Hazel was an omega but unlike Dark Moon pack where omegas are treated like shits, Black Fur made sure they are respected and safe. "You're zoning out again, Lia." Hazel uttered, bumping her shoulder into mine.

My eyes cut to hers and I noticed the lines on her face as she stared at me, expecting answers but I shrugged as I stated, "I'm fine, Hazel."

"You don't seem like it." Her hazel eyes held questions and worry and I sighed. She has gotten to know me better than anyone in the past five years and I was grateful for her. "Are you missing the kids today as well?" Aah!

That was the excuse I had given to Hazel yesterday and the day before that and the day... you know? I've been lying to her while we work together to welcome the arriving Alphas to their rooms for the past three days.

it wasn't entirely a lie. I did miss my babies. I would have preferred spending time with them than staying here and dreading the arrival of the man I never wanted to see again. He hasn't shown up and I was beginning to think he wouldn't since he and his people haven't shown up despite the time. "I haven't been able to spend enough quality

from him but the next, his eyes met mine and the rest of the world ceased from existence. Those gray eyes that I used to cherish like a fool widened and his nostrils flared. Hazel who was still unaware of the cold hearted man behind her touched my face in an attempt to shake me out of the daze I was trapped in but I staggered backward, giving in to the urge
