Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

51. Goodbye Raiden

AURELIA

I perceived his presence before opening the door to seethe at him.

Did I expect him to show up? Yes.

Was I willing to talk to him about anything? Hell no!

"You should have gotten tired of trying to talk to me, Alpha Raiden." I snapped under my breath, considering my kids and Hazel's presence in the room. "We've nothing to talk about. Please leave."

"I won't leave until you listen to me and give me a chance." He ran his fingers through his hair as he retorted.

"Then you can stay here and talk to yourself-"

Raiden countered, "If you refuse to talk to me, I won't just stand here. Remember you're in my pack. I can start by telling everyone that your kids are mine and tell your beloved Black Fur family that you've fooled them. Tristan might understand but his members will never accept you to be their Luna-"

"Are you threatening me?" I asked, unable to believe his nerves.

Maybe I dread what he would actually do and what would happen to my relationship with the people of Black Fur... to Hazel and me if the truth was publicly announced. However, I couldn't let Raiden see through me.

"That's not all," Raiden said stiffly, his eyes void of emotions. "I'll also keep you and the kids here even if it's against your will. I'll go to war with your beloved Black Fur and-"

"Enough, Raiden!" I gritted. "You claim to have changed but look at you! I hate you!"

"I hate you too!" He snarled at me, kicking me into shock. How could he hate me? Why would he hate me? I asked myself but Raiden soon provided answers, "You kept my kids from me for more than five years of their lives and you still want to take them away. How much more would you punish me?"

His words tugged at my emotions but Inara was quick to remind me that I had every reason to punish him even more than I already have.
