Chasing His Betrayed Luna

ALPHA TRISTAN'S POV

I fucking hate the thought of leaving Lia here in Raiden's pack but that thought just became my fucking reality because I had to return to my pack.

"I 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 lecture me like always.

"Do you ever get tired of advising me knowing that I won't listen?" I interrupted my wolf as I stepped towards my men.

Louis grabbed the door for me and I entered the car before Dolf retorted, "Do you ever get tired of coming up with stupid plans that would simply ruin your life?"

I blocked Dolf out of my head as Louis made himself comfortable behind the wheel. He and I would be driving home in the same car and even though Louis and I 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 I planned to enlighten Lia about her powers as soon as she opened up to me about her past which I 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, I sent my last order to the one person I've entrusted Aurelia to. "Keep me updated and don't forget to keep her from forgiving that bastard."

"You can trust me, Alpha. I'll make you proud." She assured me and I 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. "I can take care of whatever it is you want to do at home and give you feedback, Alpha."

"Thank you, Louis but I've to do this myself. I've to be home for 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."

I 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 I discovered they were connected to Alpha Raiden. It drew on some of us that you were simply using her and the kids to take out Alpha Raiden-"

"You will not talk about Aurelia like that!" I found myself seething at my Beta, catching both him and me off 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 told me that I was using Aurelia and the twins to perfect my plan and a part of me knew that was true but hearing Louis talk about it made me feel disgusted. I 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 I 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

make me the strongest Alpha in the

realm, making Raiden less of

obstacle in my path....

Mating with Aurelia would give me the best I 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 to me just as we drove past Dark Moon territory, entering the dangerous lands beyond.

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

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

But I disappointed him by saying, "I'll still become the Alpha King. I'll conquer packs right after I 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 understand me and she'll pursue my dreams with me. I know she will." I believed in those words.

I have seen how much Aurelia hated Raiden and even though Katie and Kyle felt some sort of connection to that bastard, they loved me more 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.

I couldn't bring myself to think of what I would do If Aurelia refused to take my path. I've fallen in love with her and never wanted to become her enemy. So I said, "She will want it, Dolf. I'll make sure of that." My wolf scoffed before leaving me to my thoughts. Louis also drove in silence, giving me the chance to go over every discovery I have made about the various packs that attended this year's pack games.

I was returning home to put the piece together. I was pleased with myself because I discovered so many ways to conquer some packs 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." I informed Louis.

"Noted, Alpha."

The real game really just began... regardless of my heart.
