Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

57. Alpha Tristan's POV (3)

ALPHA TRISTAN'S POV

| fucking hate the thought of leaving Lia here in Raiden's pack but that thought just becmy fucking reality

because | had to return to my pack.

"| can't believe you're choosing the smooth running of your plan over staying to find Kyle. You claim to love

Aurelia and the kids but you're-" Dolf began to lecturelike always.

"Do you ever get tired of advisingknowing that | won't listen?" | interrupted my wolf as | stepped towards my

men.

Louis grabbed the door forand | entered the car before Dolf retorted, "Do you ever get tired of coming up

with stupid plans that would simply ruin your life?"

| blocked Dolf out of my head as Louis made himself comfortable behind the wheel. He and | would be driving

hin the scar and even though Louis and | were pretty close, I'd have preferred traveling with my shy

Lia, loud Katie, and reserved Kyle.

It would have been a memorable trip because | planned to enlighten Lia about her powers as soon as she

opened up toabout her past which | knew she would do during the trip. Opening up to each other was

supposed to happen naturally so we could move on to the next phase which would be our mating ritual but now,

she has to remain in Raiden's pack.

Creating a mind link, | sent my last order to the one person I've entrusted Aurelia to. "Keepupdated and

don't forget to keep her from forgiving that bastard."

"You can trust me, Alpha. I'll make you proud." She assuredand | cut the link, believing that she'd be both

my eyes and ears in Raiden's pack during my absence.

"Are you certain you want to leave her behind?" Louis questioned as he started to drive. Other cars followed suit.

"| can take care of whatever it is you want to do at hand give you feedback, Alpha."

"Thank you, Louis but I've to do this myself. I've to be hfor this." I replied with conviction despite the ache in

my heart.

Louis chuckled to my surprise. "It's good to know that you are focused on the pack's ambition regardless of how

you feel about that woman, Alpha. We have been worried, to be honest."

| frowned at the manner Louis spoke about Aurelia but he didn't seem to notice that his disrespectful tone

annoyed me. My Beta continued speaking, "Rumours have been spreading that you'll forget what the pack

stands for because you have fallen in love with that woman but I finally understood why you chose to mate with

her and raise her kids when | discovered they were connected to Alpha Raiden. It drew on sof us that you

were simply using her and the kids to take out Alpha Raiden-"

"You will not talk about Aurelia like that!" | found myself seething at my Beta, catching both him andoff

guard. "She is to be your Luna and those kids are precious to me. Respect them or shut up about them.

Understood!"

Louis stuttered, "Y-yes. Yes, Alpha. Please Forgive me."

Dolf had once toldthat | was using Aurelia and the twins to perfect my plan and a part ofknew that was

true but hearing Louis talk about it madefeel disgusted. | detested it.

"Does that mean you would put an end to your craziness and stop using them? We both know the only reason

you allowed Aurelia to stay in our Pack was because you saw her hair change to white when she was about to

pass out." Dolf's voice broke through the mental shield | had put between our minds.

Yes. He was right.

I'd have killed Aurelia that night despite the fact that she was in active labor if she wasn't a white

wolf and mating with her would net

makethe strongest Alpha in the

realm, making Raiden less of

obstacle in my path....

Mating with Aurelia would givethe best | needed to avenge my parents.

That was the plan...

Until my heart started beating for her and the twins.

"You are in love with her... with them," Dolf said tojust as we drove past Dark Moon territory, entering the

dangerous lands beyond.

"Yes, | am." | accepted even though it killed me.

"So what about the plan?" Dolf queried. | could hear his hope vibrating through my body.

But | disappointed him by saying, "I'll still becthe Alpha King. I'll conquer packs right after | mate with

Aurelia and I'll wipe Raiden off the surface of the earth." "Trist-"

"I'm sure Aurelia will agree with me. Raiden deserves to die and the twins are better off without him. I'll make

Aurelia understandand she'll pursue my dreams with me. | know she will." | believed in those words.

| have seen how much Aurelia hated Raiden and even though Katie and Kyle felt ssort of connection to that

bastard, they lovedmore than they would ever love him. They might have his blood but they have been

mine since they were born.

"What if she doesn't want to be a part of your revenge scheme?" Trust Dolf to always nip my buds.

| couldn't bring myself to think of what | would do If Aurelia refused to take my path. I've fallen in love with her

and never wanted to becher enemy. So | said, "She will want it, Dolf. I'll make sure of that." My wolf scoffed

before leavingto my thoughts. Louis also drove in silence, givingthe chance to go over every discovery |

have made about the various packs that attended this year's pack games.

| was returning hto put the piece together. | was pleased with myself because | discovered so many ways to

conquer spacks and also realized how to weaken the richest pack in the realm- the Moon Stone Pack.

With Moon Stone's riches, I'd be able to fund my mission but to take over Moon Stone, I'd have to go through

Raiden because he shared a close bond with the pack... and to defeat Raiden, I've to get stronger. And to get

stronger, I've to extend my authority and territory...

"Call for a council meeting as soon as we arrive home. We have packs to take over." | informed Louis.

"Noted, Alpha."

The real greally just began... regardless of my heart.
