Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

44. A Broken Bond

ALPHA RAIDEN

~<>~

I wore the fake smile regardless of the blinding pain eating me away.

I kept my eyes on them even though seeing them and their kids together broke me. I felt a painful twitch in the depths of my soul when she muttered, "Yes, I'll marry and mate with you." Don't break right here. Don't, Raiden....

I chanted to myself while almost everyone in the arena cheered in celebration of what I never had with Aurelia... No. I had it. I just threw it out the window with my own hands.

My eyes stung as pain and anger mixed perfectly together within me when Tristan pulled her into him, kissing her deeply and slowly... as if they were oblivious to the presence of the rest of us.

I could sense my pack's grief as my members witnessed another man claiming my destined mate whose rejection I still haven't accepted. Gosh! My soul hurts. It has been since yesterday. I tried to but I couldn't put an end to the grief. "This is your fault! We shouldn't be feeling this pain-" Lex didn't hesitate to put the blame on me once again.

His hatred for me has grown even deeper since the devastating discovery that made it clear that Aurelia would never give me another chance... not when she is the mother of Tristan's kids.... Not when he was kissing her like that. Fuck!

"I agree. It's my fault." I muttered to my wolf, turning around to save myself from the pain of watching Tristan eat Aurelia's face... Heck! I had never kissed her but that asshole got to kiss her. I should be the one holding and kissing her. "We lost her-"

"You chose not to kiss her even when you claimed her body over and over again just like you chose not to mark her. If you had marked and cherished her, the bond wouldn't be punishing us." Lex growled, sharing his pain with me and causing my legs to buckle under my weight. "Can you make it stop? I can't bear it."

If wolves could cry, Lex would have broken down in tears since last night. In fact, if I could, I'd wail right here while the little masked boy jumped energetically around Tristan and Aurelia who were still clinging to each other like fucking lovers...

"There's one way to put an end to this pain. Only one." I uttered to my wolf, embracing our emotions.
