Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

99. Now or Never

AURELIA

I was invited to the public execution of Larisa's parents but since the scene wouldn't be appropriate for kids, I decided to stay back at the apartment and pack in preparation for the journey back home.

Hazel was helping me pack while Katie and Kyle played a game in the corner of the room.

"What do you think he'd do to them?" Hazel asked me, folding her clothes into a duffel bag,

Instantly, I figured she was talking about how Raiden would handle Larisa's parents. I wasn't certain but after Ronald's death and Iris's near-death experience, I knew Raiden wouldn't go easy on Larisa's parents. Was I okay with their possible death?

Yes, I was.

Larisa was okay with killing my friend and almost killing my son and me, so why should I care about what happens to her crazy parents?

"I hope he kills them. The world doesn't need people like them and Larisa deserves to feel the pain that comes with losing someone she loves. She damaged so many families." I said to Hazel.

But she snorted, "Liar. You don't want anyone dead no matter what they could have done. You are Aurelia-"

"Well, I've changed. I no longer care about people who would hurt me at any length or stab me in the back." I retorted.

I wanted to correct Hazel by telling her that I was Lia but I realized it's high time I accepted myself. Aurelia was who I was after all. Lia was just a small part of the whole- Aurelia.

Hazel moved uncomfortably, shifting on her feet as she muttered, "If you say so." I thought of asking her if she was okay but she blurted before I could, "So what day have you chosen?" My brows furrowed, "Day?"

"For the journey, Lia. When will it be?" Hazel uttered precisely.

In fact, becoming Tristan's Luna would give me the power I need to fish Larisa out and with Iris's journal, I could take my abilities to the next level. "I believe tomorrow will be a good day to journey back home," I uttered, smiling at Hazel whose face dropped
