55. Larisa's POV (3)
LARISA'S POV
I was aware that Aurelia returned to the pack with a powerful Alpha and a strong pack behind her. I was also aware that she had kids with this powerful Alpha which was Tristan... not My Raiden.
Finding out that Raiden was the father of Aurelia's twins put a glitch in my plans. I mean, after Tristan proposed to Aurelia publicly, I assumed I wouldn't have to kill anyone to keep Raiden... at least not anymore which was why I threw Aurelia a party to send her off my territory and life.
But this new development meant that I had three new obstacles to knock down-Aurelia and her two bastard kids.
I have to kill them. No other option.
It killed me to find Aurelia's son in Raiden's office when I returned home, hoping that Rauden had not noticed that I had been gone all night. I hid my scent and went to his office intending to surprise him and hopefully, get him to mark me since Aurelia was on her way out of the pack. Heck, that was the plan!
But instead of Raiden, I found a little boy, sitting in one corner of his home office. I didn't see his face at first but when I did, the realization hit me like an angry wave. He was a copy of my Raiden. At that moment, I didn't realize that he was Aurelia's masked boy until I saw the family mask in his hand.
I stuttered, "Wh-what ar-are you do-doing here? W-who are y-you?"
The little boy answered nervously and innocently, "I'm Kyle. I'm hiding here so my mama won't separate my sister and me from my Papa. Katie and I want a complete family."
Fuck that!
Complete family my fucking ass!
"Aurelia is your mother?" I asked, close to losing my mind as my eyes shifted from one part of his face to another.
The boy answered with a sad pout, "Yes, she's my mama but Mama has been lying to me. She didn't want me to know we were in Papa's pack. She made me wear the mask to hide my resemblance to Papa but even though Papa couldn't see my face, I could see his and I knew he was-" "Shut up!" I snapped, hating Aurelia even more than I did before.
The little boy sucked in a sharp breath, recoiling into the corner like that would save him from me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I've read about stepmothers and I know some can be nice. Please be nice." He muttered, his lips quivering.
"Stepmother?" My words were laced with disbelief.
Did he just call me his stepmother?
"You're my stepmom. I know who you are." The boy replied, his eyes wide like Aurelia's.
I shook my head, searching my mind for the best way to handle this situation. I'd never be anyone's stepmother and even if I'm forced to be, I'll be the most evil stepmother ever recorded in history.
I should have known that it wouldn't be easy to get rid of Aurelia. I didn't waste any time thinking about how she managed to hide her pregnancy and delivered the two devils without Raiden feeling connected to them-
No. Raiden couldn't have known and hid it from me.
I sensed Raiden's presence outside the mansion and I knew I needed to act fast. Still maintaining the strong mask over my scent, I grabbed a paper and pen from Raiden's table and wrote the words I could come up with, trying not to slip any clues that would link the letter to me. When I finished, I faced the little boy and forced a smile. I finally responded to his last statement, "I'll be nice, boy but you have to give up your mask."Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
He appeared confused but he didn't try to hold on to the mask. He must hate the mask. Silly Aurelia. Making her son wear a mask just to trick everyone. I'll make sure she regrets having Raiden's babies.
I placed the note underneath the mask before offering the little boy my hand with another fake smile. "Come with me."
"Katie told me to stay here so she can find me when Mama turns the car around." He replied sharply.
I could tell Katie would be a big problem. Not only was she a living copy of Aurelia but she has a strong spirit... How I'd enjoy breaking her spirit.
"Do you always listen to Katie? Is she your boss?" I asked him.
He frowned, "She's my twin, not my boss and I listen to Katie whenever I know she is right. In this case, she's right-"
"Do you want me to be nice or not?" I interjected. "Come with me if you want to spend time with your nice stepmother."
Saying that word made me sick but I
had to tricked him out without
alerting Raiden who was still standing outside the mansion for some reason. Fortunately, the little boy desired to have a nice stepmother. He followed me through the backdoor without making a sound and I took him straight to my hideout.
Of course, I kidnapped him.
Who else would have done that?
All of these happened about seven hours ago and I didn't leave my hideout until I drugged the little boy. He fell asleep and I locked it away in the basement of my hideout, where I have always hidden people I couldn't kill immediately. Satisfied with myself, I left my hideout and returned to Raiden's mansion to finally react to the news of him having children with Aurelia and the fact that he had men searching everywhere for his son and the kidnapper- little old me. "What did I hear about you having a son with that bitch!"
That was how I began, displaying anger with restraints.
Raiden sighed, fear and frustration rolling off him as he uttered, "It's true, Larisa. I've kids... Aurelia had them after-"
"Do I look like I care? What are you going to do about this mess, Raiden?" I barked.
"They are no mess, Larisa!" He snapped in response. "They are my kids and it's not like I can get rid of them to make you happy just like I did with Aurelia!"
I stumbled, imagining the various ways I would make him regret yelling at me because of Aurelia and the devils he called his kids.
"You regret choosing me over her,
right?" I whispered, taking the emotional route. "Is that why you have refused to mark me? You've been using me to pass the time all these years, right? How could you do this to me after I went through hell to be with you."
Manipulating Raiden has always been easy. I made sure of that but he was becoming difficult. It started when he traveled down to Black Fur Pack for the first rounds of the games... It was all because of Aurelia.
"I know, Isa and you've every right to yell at me but can you please not do this now? My son is missing and need to find him. Use the resources you have to find him and we can talk about ourselves afterwards. Please." Raiden pleaded.
But he only succeded in pissing me off even more. How dare he ask me to use my family resources and influence to find his bastard son? He must take me for a fool... I was no Aurelia.
Yet I muttered in tears, "The boy is innocent. I'll do all I can."
"Thank you-"
"I'll be doing that from my parent's house. I can't stand the sight of you!" I seethed, creating a reason for me to spend more time at my hideout that Raiden's men would never find even though it was situated within his pack. Just like I came in, I stormed out of his home with a contented smirk.
Pack games were over but the real game was just beginning and I was excited for this one.
