Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

45. Special One

ALPHA RAIDEN

~>~

Although the feast was impromptu, I could sense everyone's contentment as they celebrated the union of the man I detested and the woman my heart ached to have more than the win my pack representatives earned at the competition.

For some reason, Larosa went all out to celebrate Aurelia even though it has become clear to me that Larisa wasn't as kind as I used to believe.

If I hadn't blocked Lex, he would have said something along the lines of, "Told you so."

But to keep my head clear and not act emotionally before my members and guests, Lex had remained subdued in my mind. Yet, my mind was a mess and my emotions were just as messy as my eyes settled on everything... everyone but the duo. Larisa rose to her feet with a glass of wine in her hand and I barely stopped myself from groaning out in frustration. If only I knew that I was about to make a great discovery that would completely chnage the odds.

"I'd like to make a toast to Alpha Tristan and his woman," Larisa announced, instantly securing everyone's attention. Tristan managed to send a grin like smile her way before she continued, "But before we do that, I'd like to hear a word or two from the lovers... I'm sure we're all dying to hear them confess their love for each other."

Larisa laughed melodiously along with a few other people but I rolled my eyes, knowing that I was about to be tortured by their words again. My heart was heavy and my throat was dry as a desert despite my efforts to stay calm. This was all wrong... this doesn't feel right.

"This feels so right." Tristan voiced, contradicting my thoughts as if he heard them. "Lia and I started a family six years ago and each day with our family has been a a blessing to me. I'm lucky to have someone as unique as her as my mate."

As he spoke, he held Aurelia's gaze, sounding genuine and fueling my raging emotions.

"Cheers to our union, Special one," Tristan concluded, raising his glass.

Special one? Tsk!

Hatred brewed in my soul, blinding my eyes as everyone but me raised a toast. Yes, Aurelia was special. I couldn't counter that fact. I just hated that Tristan got to know just how unique my destined mate was.
