Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

20. My Dreadful Past

AURELIA

After four days of wins and losses for every pack that attended the Pack Games, it was time to announce the result and know the packs that would be going head to head in the semi-finals. The celebration has been going on for four days and while some packs already know they wouldn't qualify for the next rounds, some of us were simply dreading what the next rounds would bring into our lives.

I mean, Black Fur would qualify as we were one of the best and I would be foolish to think that Dark Moon Pack wouldn't qualify. That saddened me because even though I had found a way to put distance between Alpha Raiden and me these past few days, I wanted nothing more than to see him leave the pack with his men... and never run into him. Ever again.

That would keep my kids safe and I would be less worried about breaking before him.

But of course, the universe ignored my desires and cry for help.

"Black Fur Pack, Crescent Glow Pack, Dark Moon Pack, Moon Stone, and Howling Wolves Pack." Beta Louis, Alpha Tristan's righthand man, read out the names of the packs from a scroll and he continued, addressing everyone in the arena, "These packs have qualified for the next rounds."

The cheer in the arena sent vibrations through the floor and I smiled despite the mixed feelings gnawing deeply within my stomach. The other warriors from Black fur jubilated and I joined them, happiness flowing through my being.

However, that soon ended when Beta Louis announced with a stiff voice that had me frozen for what seemed like forever. "The semi-finals and finals of this year's Pack Games will be held in Dark Moon Pack so each qualified pack will have to choose their representatives who would...."
