Chasing His Betrayed Luna

ALPHA TRISTAN'S POV

"You left and rejected me, Aurelia. How could-"

Raiden's words echoed in my mind as I strolled back to the apartment he made available for reasons I didn't know back then. I'd asked myself why he was acting nice and suspicious but it wasn't until now that I got my answers.

I heard every word, starting with Raiden's claim... starting with how he called her Aurelia instead of Lia as she told me that day in my special hospital room where she delivered her babies... Raiden's babies, I supposed.

I might not have heard every word because I just happened to stumble into the duo but I heard enough to justify the roaring flame of anger underneath my skin. I heard enough to make me understand that I'd been a fool for almost six years. She lied to me. She deceived me. She played me for a fool.

Despite the grace I showed her and her kids? Hell! I provided her with a place to stay, a home, a pack, a family, and a new life because I thought she was from a dead place. That dead place. She made me believe that she was special. No, she's actually special. Special enough to make me spare her life that night. Special enough to fool me.

"She didn't fool you, Tris. She never lied to you." My wolf, Dolf, came to Lia's defense.

Lia... That wasn't even her real name.

"Aurelia. Lia. Connect the dots, Tristan. She told you a part of her name because she didn't want to be reminded of this place and that asshole. He broke her." Dolf has always liked Lia even before I discovered how special she was.

My wolf was the reason I didn't have Lia killed when she stumbled into my pack but her unique abilities were why I let her stay in my pack. Why I gave her a home.

"Just like she told me part of the truth." I seethed, contemplating going into the apartment even though the building was right before me. I wouldn't want to go in with the fury rocking my body because I wouldn't want to act rashly, snap Lia's neck, and ruin everything I've worked for.

She played me but I still needed her alive.

Dolf chimed, "You would have discovered the truth sooner if you weren't focused on your selfish plans, Tristan. You'd have investigated even before now but you didn't not even after you noticed the tense energy between the both of them back home. You fooled yourself, Lia didn't."

Dolf's words only fueled my anger. Having him in my head is fighting against myself every day. Dolf has different principles and priorities while my priority was simple- Get my revenge by destroying Raiden's family and becoming the authority everyone in the realm bows to- and every principle I hold dear was simply to achieve my goal.

"I've told you to stop seeking revenge. Let the past be in the past and move on. Lia can help you move on. She can heal your heart if only you'll let her know how special she is." Dolf repeated the same words he had been telling me for the past fifteen years. I growled, "How do I heal a heart that has been ripped out of me by the Flockhart of this same pack? They destroyed my family and I'll do the same, Dolf."

"Tristan, You can't-"

I seethed, "No, Dolf. I can and I will."

My wolf grumbled but I put a mental wall up before he could counter me and piss me off even more. I blamed the moon goddess for giving me such a fainthearted wolf after all the hardship she had thrown my way. For goodness's sake!

I was only fifteen years old when Ronald Flockhart, his son, Raiden, and their minions took my family away from me... they took everything I loved and forced a fifteen years old boy to have his first shift even though my body still had a year or two to prepare itself for the

accompanied the first shift.

I wasn't allowed to grow fully and happily.

"Shit..." I groaned shoving my painful past back into the deep dark box at the depth of my mind and locking it up because plans were in place and dwelling in the past could destroy my plans.

I was out tonight because I had to

personally spy on Alpha Clinton of

Moon Stone Pack. He and his pack were crucial to the success of my fifteen-year-long plan but only started falling in place with the

arrival of Lia in my packel

Stone Pack is known for its rich resources that would help me

finance and control the realm after I take down Dark Moon Pack.

Standing before the front door, I took a deep breath to keep my emotions under control. Losing control had never been an option and it shouldn't now.

Dolf words rang in my head as I turned the doorknob, pushing the door open, "She told you a part of her name because she didn't want to be reminded of this place and that asshole.."

My wolf wasn't wrong to say those words to me. After all, I allowed myself to be fooled. Lia wasn't to be blamed. I brought this upon myself but this is good. Raiden wanted Lia back but she hated him. I could use that to my advantage.

"This is good," I smirked, stepping into the building to call Louis for a meeting but I came face to face with my secret weapon who just made my plan easier to execute just by being Raiden's destined mate.

Lia gasped, her voice thick with shock, "Alpha Tristan. You're up."

Her voice, her eyes, the way she sucked in her lower lip to hide the fact that she was nervous and the way she naively stared at me melted the anger I had been struggling with. She calmed the storm within me just by looking at me like I was the best man on the surface of the earth.

"She did say you're a better man

than her ex would ever be in a billion years to come." Dolf was able to say to me as had unknowingly dropped the mental wall between our minds. "You can be the best man for her if you choose to. Revenge would ruin

you but Aurelia will heal you."

"I couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk," I answered Lia. I couldn't bring myself to be mad at her because she had grown on me and I could see that she was genuinely sad at the moment. I shouldn't let Raiden make her sad. "Are you going somewhere?" "No. I also took a walk but I'll return to bed now. I hope you'd be able to catch some sleep too-"

I cut in, "Why not sit with me and tell me about what's bothering you?"

"Nothing serious, Alpha." Lia forced a smile. She wasn't lying yet she wasn't telling the truth either. "I just want to go back home with you."

The last part of her statement hit me hard as I realized that Raiden would do everything in his power to keep her here. Now it was clear to me that Lia was the reason he shifted the final round of the Pack Games. That annoying snake!

"You'll go home with me, Lia." Nothing could change that.

However, I was stuck between using Lia and the secrets I just discovered to strike Raiden dead and taking her for myself because she brings out the best in me.

Time will tell. I suppose.
