Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

46. Unexpected Twist

AURELIA

Raiden was losing his shit.

Somehow, I could sense every bit of his emotion before he walked out of the hall. An unmissable tight knot was in my chest as he stormed off. I hated that feeling, but it grew stronger by the second even though I was surrounded by happy people.

In fact, I saw some of Raiden's pack members cheering Tristan and me on as we were called to dance. Apparently, Larisa included a Couple Dance in the plans.

"I wonder why she's being all nice and pretentious," Inara stated into my mind while Tristan and I danced.

I sneaked a peep at Larisa and found her grinning from ear to ear. "She's suspicious. The entire arrangement is but we will be leaving tomorrow. I'm not worried about her-"

"But you're worried about the asshole that broke your without thinking twice." Inara chimed, reminding me of the knot in my chest.

"Why would I be worried about it?" I blurted, holding on to Tristan whose hands were gently guiding my movements. "What I feel is guilt, Ina. I know I deserve to be loved by someone like Tristan but I'm not certain about-" "Don't doubt your decision, Relia." Inara interrupted. "I feel uneasy as well but it isn't about Raiden or Tristan. I just can't place my hands on-"

Before my wolf could finish, I felt a persistent tug on the white dinner dress Jessica and Hazel had picked out for me some hours ago. I looked behind me and found Kyle. "Hey, baby," I muttered, bending to pick him up.

"I can't find Katie, Mama," Kyle mumbled, causing my hands to freeze on his ribcages. "She went out to pee but she hasn't returned."

"To pee? You were supposed to stay with Hazel, baby. Where is Hazel?" I asked, my face squeezed into a frown.

"I don't know, Mama," Kyle answered, his eyes searching my furrowed face.

Alpha Tristan bent over our frames as he whispered, "What's going on? Is Kyle here to join the dance? Katie should join us as well." The loud music blasting within the hall must have hindered him from hearing the exchanged words between Kyle and me.

"Kyle doesn't know where she is, Alpha Tristan." I voiced, unable to stop fear from slipping out of my mouth along with those words. "Just Tristan, Lia." He corrected.
