Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

59. Into My Arms

ALPHA RAIDEN

I saw Aurelia walking out of the apartment for the first time in days that night and I followed her, careful not to spook her as she mindlessly navigated the forest. I've made it my duty to stand guard of the building for the past few days even though I had men stationed around the building.

If Kyle was kidnapped under my nose and Katie bullied to near death, it was only right to strengthen the security around the building. I have also begun to look into the kids that almost killed my daughter. I'd use them as examples to others when I get to punish them. The search for Kyle had taken over my time but finding the bullies was also important. I need to make my pack a better and safer place for anyone to reside.

After watching Aurelia sit by the still water, moving her hands around and eventually burst into tears, I apparached her. "You have a thing for crying in the middle of the forest at an ungodly hour, Aurelia," I announced my presence.

Aurelia's eyes were swollen and she had huge dark bags under them.

The truth was she looked like shit-

"Have you taken a minute to look at yourself in the mirror?" Lex countered not to insult me but to make fun of me.

My wolf and I had been on edge these past few days. I was sleep-deprived and starving as well. I tried eating a couple of times but I couldn't bring myself to stomach anything. How could I?

"Do you have any news for me?" Aurelia asked expectantly.

Her swollen eyes looked like they were about to pop out which made me curse myself. How I wished I had Kyle with me right now. How I wished the boy had been found so she could be happy. Fuck, it's been three days and my pack has been turned upside down... yet, Kyle has not been sighted.
