Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

61. Finding Kyle

ALPHA RAIDEN

She has got to be kidding me!

"Are you bipolar?" I blurted before I could stop myself from offending her even more. I did her a favor. Telling Katie that Kyle was kidnapped was clearly a bad idea and it would have caused more issues for her to worry about but rather than thank me, she lashed out at me. In fact, she's kicking me out.

Aurelia's eyes widened and Lex chimed in my head, "Wrong move, Man."

"What did you say to me?" Aurelia asked. Her stance and scent made it known that she was more than ready to rip my head off.

I accused without holding back. Aurelia snapped, "Why should I tell you? It's not like you can heal him and it's not like it wasn't your fault he was born with weak lungs!"

My fault?
