True Luna by Tessa Lilly

Chapter 226: Chapter 226 – She Doesn’t Care?

Hunter’s POV

I had no excuse for talking to Luna Emma the way I did.

I was just so fucking angry and so fucking scared. Well, that wasn’t true. I wasn’t scared. I was fucking terrified. There was a hole in my stomach and it felt like it was about to swallow me whole. I kept picturing her hurt. I kept imagining the torture she went through. I kept imagining the chains around her body.

The only fucking things that should have been around her body were my arms! The only fucking torture she should have endured was my lips starting a fire in her body that only I could extinguish.

She should have never been hurt. She should have never been forced into the darkness. She should have been right here next to me. We should have been marked and mated by now. There should have been my pup in her by now. We should have started our lives together by now.

Nothing was right and I was so angry.

I wasn’t back at my pack, holding my mate in my arms. I wasn’t waking up next to her. I wasn’t burying myself inside her every morning like I wanted to from the moment I saw her. I wasn’t breathing in her scent until it made me grin. I wasn’t kissing her soft lips and tasting her skin on my tongue.

Nothing was right and I needed someone to blame.

“I am sorry, Luna,” I mumbled quietly while we waited for Alex to finish talking to Stella.

Luna Emma looked at me and gave me a small smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

“It’s okay,” she said. “Nothing you said was wrong. It is my fault. I should have found another way to deal with her darkness. I should have...”

“Didn’t you hear what Alex said?” Alpha Logan interrupted her. “You’ve done everything you could. We all did. This isn’t your fault, Emma. Richard is the only one to blame.”

Hearing my grandfather’s name had me seeing red. I couldn’t wait to come face-to-face with him. I was going to stick my claws into his pathetic little neck and watch him bleed. I was looking forward to looking into his eyes as the last bits of his pathetic life left his body.
