Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

Hazel gave me a stiff smile as she stepped out of the bathroom. I smiled at her, feeling guilty because a part of me assumed she couldn't wait to return home.

I should have given her a specific date, instead of making her wonder when exactly "in a few days" meant. I couldn't deny the truth that my desire to find answers was clouding my sense of decision. Hopefully, I'll get more answers from Iris tonight.

"Let's move." Katie sing-song, performing a little dance to show her excitement.

I chuckled at my daughter's happiness and quickly glanced at Kyle, ruffling his hair as I asked, "Are you okay with walking or do you want Mama to carry you in her strong arms?"

"I'm fine, Mama. I can walk and my only issue is my stomach." Kyle responded, rubbing his belly as we all strolled towards the front door.

My brows furrowed, "What's wrong with your belly? Is it aching?"

"No, Mama." Kyle laughed. "It's grumbling. I'm so so hungry and my tummy wants some delicious food."

I laughed at his silliness. "It's a good thing we were invited to dinner, baby."

The rest of the walk to Raiden's mansion was used to chat and I'd be lying if I said my heart wasn't beating faster with every step I took towards his home. I hated it there and I promised myself that this would be the last time I'd be stepping into that house. "Welcome..." We were ushered into the mansion by a servant and she led us to the dining area.

It was hard not to think about the days I used to prepare meals for Raiden, leave them on the dining table, and take myself away from the space before he returned home. Back then he didn't want to see me or have me in the same space except that room- I sucked in a sharp breath, wondering what that room had become after I left the pack.

Not like it mattered.

Fortunately, Iris and Raiden walked into the dining area, hand in hand, and interrupted my thoughts before I could lose myself in its interwoven maze.
