Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

41. Stay And Save

AURELIA

I chuckled, shaking my head while still maintaining eye contact with the woman who had made my life a living hell even when I was the Luna of this pack.

"Did you say you are here to warn me, Nina? Are you kidding me?" I asked, seizing her up with my eyes.

She pushed herself off the edge of the bed and took a step closer to where I was standing with my kids. I didn't even bother to ask her how she made it into the room without getting questioned by Black Fur warriors scattered around and within the building. "I'm dead serious, Aurelia. I know you don't trust me but you need to... just this once-"

"Stop shitting yourself, Nina, and get the hell out of my room before I make you regret sneaking around." I spat at her.

I was damn sure she already planted something dark and evil in the room or perhaps a spy camera. I would be damned to trust her. I did save her from Larisa in the dining hall but I wouldn't hesitate to stab her in the heart if she posed a threat to my babies' life. "Please, Luna. Please just give me a minute-" Nina tried again.

But I quickly cut her off, "Don't call me that!." My eyes darted to my kids who were paying close attention to Nina to my dismay. Katie would not hesitate to ask questions as soon as Nina left and Kyle was most likely putting two and two together in his head right now. And why the hell is everyone hell-bent on having a minute to talk to me these days?

"Do you think he sent her here?" Inara asked me, snarling at the possibility of Raiden having a hand in Nina's unwanted presence. "He does have a history of sending her to do his dirty work."

Oh, he does...

I glared at Nina, gritting, "I'm not your Luna and my name is Lia. Now, leave."

Nina shook her head and surprisingly, tears glinted in her eyes, the same broken woman I saw in the dining hall that night emerged. I stood frozen, watching her intensely and wondering what could have gone wrong with her. This wasn't the Nina I knew.

"Don't fall for those crocodile tears, Relia. Aside from Pheobe, no one in this pack can be trusted. Kick her ass out and start parking because we're leaving this hell hole tomorrow." Inara warned me.

Perhaps I would have listened to her if a tear hadn't trickled down Nina's face, bringing my attention to the red bruise on her face. As if she could tell that my resolve was breaking, Nina took a step closer to me.

"We need you here," Nina mumbled. "We need you to stay and save us, Aurelia but none of us deserve you and you've to leave as soon as you can before she comes for you too."
