Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

22. Secretly In Love

ALPHA RAIDEN

Although there was a car behind Aurelia as she stumbled, Tristan dashed to her side, holding her as she regained her balance. An unknown feeling swelled in my heart... or maybe the feeling was known after all. I just didn't want to admit to myself that what I felt was jealousy.

"Are you alright, Lia?" He asked softly, his grip firm on her lower back while Larisa inhaled sharply beside me, her face oddly pale.

Aurelia voiced in response, "Yes. Just a little bit dizzy. I'm sorry-"

Alpha Tristan faced me before she could finish speaking and he asked rhetorically, "Can she be led to her room? We're all tired from the trip and I was told we wouldn't be staying with other visiting Alphas." Fuck that!

If I could have my way, I would have kicked Tristan out of my pack the minute he got to the border but to take Aurelia back, I must tolerate his presence and keep him close.

"Yes. We've prepared this building for you and your entourage, Alpha Tristan." Andrew answered Tristan, making his way forward with a set of maids behind him. "They'll help you settle in."

Trust Andrew to save the day while I was burning with jealousy and though my eyes were glued to the spit where Tristan's hand met with Aurelia's back, I could still see the shock on the maids' faces as they peeped at Aurelia who they must all remember. It's only a matter of time before the news of her arrival spreads through the pack.

Tristan led Aurelia past Larisa and me, guiding her toward the door of the building that was right behind my home. I chose this building for a reason and I was here to welcome no one else but Aurelia back to the pack yet we didn't get to have a moment.
