Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

85. Damaged Heart

AURELIA

Sadly, I had to spend another night at the hospital but this time, with Katie. My daughter has refused to leave Kyle's side even after Phoebe and the doctor taking care of Kyle had successfully put him to sleep.

Before Phoebe and the doctor left the room for us, I was told that Kyle was suffering due to the treatment he received while in Larisa's captivity. That brought tears to my eyes and I could only imagine what staying in Larisa's lair for almost two weeks would do to anyone... and Kyle was just a kid.

He was my sweet little boy.

"I'd kill that witch." Inara snarled within me, radiating with rage.

While I felt pity for my son since I was informed that he was being haunted by the dark memories Larisa imprinted on his mind, Inara had been boiling with rage despite the fact that she was still weak from burning her energy to find the invisible lair. "How do we help Kyle forget? I need him to be carefree and happy again, Ina." I cried to my wolf, staring down at my kids.

Katie was holding Kyle tightly as they both escaped into dreamland. Gosh! I wondered what kind of dreams Kyle was having at the moment. What if my son was still suffering even in his sleep?

"I don't know how but it's high time we speak to Tristan. He might be able to tell us something we don't know." Inara retorted.

My fingers brushed Kyle's hair, detangling them as a wild thought popped into my head, "Something we don't know? Like taking the bad memories off Kyle's mind? Can we achieve that?"

"I d-don't know, Relia and I won't want to give you the wrong impression," Inara responded, sounding unsure.

Although that was a slap on my cracked hope, I couldn't give up on Kyle. I made a mental note to ask Hazel to bring me the cell phone Jessica passed to me before- oh, will I ever get used to her being gone?

I shook my head, wiping off the stray tear on my face. Hazel had gone back to the apartment for the night and she promised to return with breakfast in the morning. At the moment, I was alone in the room with the kids and in the same bed.
