Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

Alpha Tristan's POV

~<>~

Everything was unfolding according to my plan.

I felt at peace knowing that I had put Raiden in his place after he witnessed the picnic yesterday. Yes, the picnic with the kids was part of my elaborate plan to ensure Lia returned to my pack with me.

But I enjoyed the fun time with Lia and the kids.

It was heart-

"It's time for the final duel!" The funny-looking guy who almost never leaves Raiden's side announced on the podium, smiling as if his park had already won the cup. "The result determines which pack would claim the cup. Are we ready for this!" The crowd cheered, causing my ears to hurt. Noise. I hated that shit-

"But not Katie's high-pitched shrieks and whatever the annoying sound swords make is called." Dolf chimed, calling out my bluff.

I couldn't help but smile. How could anyone not like Katie's melodious screams? She's a bundle of joy-

"Yet you feel comfortable using her in your ridiculous plan. What's wrong with you!" My wolf wasted no time as he expressed his displeasure for the millionth time in twenty-four hours.

"She asked me to play with her brother and her, Dolf and I did just that. I don't see how-" I started defending myself, my eyes on Lia's frame as she stepped into the dueling arena with a face that had my heart racing.

Damn, she looked good in those leathers... in anything she wears, to be honest.

"She asked you innocently but you took advantage of her request. What was that stunt you pulled with Raiden? Teasing Lia like that when you still don't know what you want is also not cool, Tris." Dolf gritted.

He was beginning to get on my nerves. Why was it so hard for him to understand that Raiden deserves every bad vibe he gets from me? That bastard was no saint-

"But Lia and the kids are and they certainly don't deserve to be toyed around with by you. They trust you." Dolf growled within me, infusing rage into my system.

Guilt was the last thing I needed to feel when it came to Raiden- No. The guilt was because I wasn't doing

I could do as Jake walked up to the podium to claim the cup... right after he won, leaving Lia on the floor or maybe she stayed there because she was ashamed. How do I rectify this amidst the annoyingly loud celebration of Dark Moon members? Fuck,
