Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

33. The Intense Battle

ALPHA RAIDEN

I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel my jaw shift out of place as Aurelia's unbelievably strong fist connected with it. I could feel the ache but it wasn't something I had never felt before. The pain wasn't new to me.

What was new to me was getting punched in the face by a woman.

And not just any woman. It was Aurelia. The same woman who couldn't look me in the eyes back then just hit me in the face without flinching and she looked like she was ready to do it again. I was too stunned to speak while Aurelia stared at me with nothing but hate and anger in her orbs.

If I had been blind, I'd have been able to smell her scorching anger from miles away.

Goddess! How do I go about this?

What words would sound right to her? I knew how I felt and In my mind, I knew the right words but each time I opened my mouth to speak to her, I ended up saying the wrong words. Heck! She unraveled me.

"Don't mess this up, Raiden. Please. I need her back." Lex pleaded with me. Even my wolf could sense that I was losing the intense battle between raving between Aurelia and me.

"How can I make her less angry? I know I've not been saying the right words to her but even If I did, she wouldn't have listened or believed me. You of all people know that I didn't send anyone to kill her." I cried out for Lex's help, my chest rising and falling as I breathed heavily.

"I wish I could help you figure her out, Raiden. I've tried to but something within her keeps blocking me out. It's like there is a protection over her mind and it's not letting me in even though we carry a broken bond." Lex explained to me, confusion etched into each of his words.

Lex was confused. That wasn't a good sign.

Aurelia's glare didn't flatter as we both stood in silence. While I thought about how to break the protection over her mind and how it could have been there in the first place, I could sense the clocks ticking in Aurelia's brain... she didn't want to be here with me.

But she also didn't want to risk walking past me because her skin would most likely brush against my naked upper body. I might not be able to read her well enough but looking into her stormy blue eyes had made me realize that she would rather drown than brush her skin against mine...
