Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

83. Deep Hatred

ALPHA RAIDEN

I was pacing outside Kyle's room with Katie in my arms. I could still hear Kyle's cries and sense my daughter's fear as she buried her face in the crook of my neck. I didn't know what was taking Andrew so long to get Aurelia back to the hospital and I was too worried to begin tracing Andrew through the mind link.

In fact, My mind was full of nothing but worries.

"Please, Dad. Let me stay with Kyle. My presence in his room would help him relax." Katie whimpered.

"But the healer and doctor asked us to leave, Katie. We've to stay here until they let us in." I patted my daughter's back

"But why? Mom always lets me stay beside Kyle when he is ill." Katie cried out.

I didn't know how to comfort her as he small body shook in my arms and I tried my best to not wince each time her leg hit or move over the bullet wound on my side. If only Aurelia was here-

"She's here," Lex announced into my mind the second he perceived Aurelia's presence in the hospital. However, I felt his heart race rapidly as another scent hit our noses. A very familiar one but also coated with other scents. Lex called out right before Aurelia ran into the corridor, "Mom..."

My mom...

My breath hitched when I realized that Aurelia was holding someone on her back. The whitish strands of hair seemed unfamiliar and known at the same time, causing my heart to leap. "Mom..." I tasted that word on my tongue as it rolled out.

My eyes stung as Larisa's words rushed back to my mind. That was my mom on Aurelia's back. I

a sob, taking steps to meet her and Aurelia halfway. Her gray eyes watered just like tears rolled down

within me but this time, I was mad at myself. How could I have let my mom suffer in Larisa's hands? How did I miss the red
