Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

24. To End Her

AURELIA

Dishes shattered on the floor and I gritted, jolting to my feet, hot pain burned into my skin as hot liquid trickled down my arm.

Nina who had been shocked to see me, gasped, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." Oh, was she sorry now?

She was never sorry when she treated me like I was a piece of trash back then. She was never sorry when she disrespected me even when I was her Luna but now she was sorry? And I could sense that her apology had something to do with the fact that Alpha Tristan was towering over us both, snarling at her.

"Such unprofesssionalism!" Alpha Tristan barked ferociously, holding my burning arm.

Nina dropped a plate of hot soup right on my arm when she saw me. I'd have thought she already got a whiff of my presence in the pack but she seemed genuinely surprised to see me. The mighty Nina trembled before me and apologized repeatedly. But her apology didn't change the fact that my skin was burning and to my surprise, Larisa walked over to where Nina was standing and struck her in the face. "Have you gone blind? How could you embarrass our guests!"

Nina's knees kissed the floor instantly and she began to apologize profusely. Saying I was shocked to see her in such a weak state would be an understatement. I vividly remember wishing that I was as unbreakable as she was but now? Oh, how the mighty has fallen. Larisa was about to hit Nina again when I intervened, "That's enough! Please stop. The word isn't that serious."

I tried not to seeth at Larisa's aggressive method. There was no need for that and my burning skin was getting better thanks to my wolf's ability to heal me faster than others.

"But she ruined your dress and your arm would scar from-" Larisa's words died in her throat when she noticed that the redness on my arm was fading rapidly. "H-how is that p-posible? The soup was steaming hot." She gasped.
