Chasing His Betrayed Luna



LARISA'S POV

~<>~

I pulled the trigger. Twice.

While Aurelia screamed, “Jessica", I cried out, "Raiden” as he held on to his side, his eyes wide open.

Prior to the second shot, I was fuming with anger because I let myself get tricked by the female Aurelia called Jessica. I had seen her a few times but I never cared about her existence until she walked up to me like she had a death wish.

Jessica got me with her words. There was no denying that but nothing got me perplexed like seeing Raiden race toward me as I pulled the trigger for the second time, intending to put Aurelia out like I did with her friend whose body had hit the floor like a fallen tree.

"H-how did you get here?" I cried out feeling a sense of grief as I watched Raiden fall to his knees.

My eyes fell to his side. I could see his blood leaking out of him even though he was trying to add pressure to the wound. My head began to ache at the sight just as my chest constricted. I shot Raiden.

I released a silver bullet into Raiden and he would die... there was no way he would recover from the deadly silver he took for the woman who didn't seem to care about him. Heck! Aurelia didn't even see him as he fell, groaning silently.

Rather than look at Raiden who was closer to her, Aurelia pushed herself off the ground with her son's limp body in her arms, and she dragged her bleeding and obviously weak legs to the spot where Jessica was lying. "Jess. Look at me, Jess. Please-" Aurelia started crying despite the obvious truth.

Jessica was dead. I killed her so it was only right to break the news to devastated Aurelia as I thought about the same fate befalling Raiden. "She is dead, idiot. I blew her brains out because of your selfish ass!" I snarled.

True to my words, there was a bullet hole in Jessica's forehead. Even the most powerful witch or healer would never be able to fix her.

"No. she can't be dead." Aurelia cried, completely broken as she stared and shook her stupid friend's dead body.

I scoffed, "You chose to save your son from falling rather than save her from dying. The ball was in your court and you kicked it foolishly!" Despite my words, Aurelia didn't pay any attention to me but it didn't matter. She would be joining her friend soon.

But before I kill her, I decided to call her selfish ass out one last time. "You never cease to amaze me, Aurelia. How could you not see the man who put himself between you and a flying bullet? He fucking took the bullet for you. A silver one for goodness sake yet you didn't bat a lash in his direction."

Aurelia still didn't budge. She was immensely focused on her dead friend and that irritated me as my head snapped to Raiden whose face had become as red as his visible blood.

"Is this the woman you choose to die for?" I spat at him, barely able to keep myself from cussing at him. How could he? After everything we had been through? Everything I did for him? This was how he chose to die. Raiden's eyes were shifting aimlessly and for a minute, I assumed it was the effect of the bullet which must be dissolving in his system. "She doesn't even see you, Raid. I see you and I want you but you gave up your life for this bitch! How could you?"

"I d-don't kn-know what happened to you or h-how you tu-turned into this person, Isa but I k-know I contributed to-" Raiden coughed, struggling with his words as he choked on his blood before spitting it out.

I countered, "I didn't turn into this person, Raid." I paused, letting my words sink into his mind. "I've always been this person but you loved me regardless and you tamed me until this bitch came along and you started looking at her even though you claimed I was the woman for you. I've always been this woman. You didn't see it but your parents did, especially your mom which was why she had me sent to the human world. To weaken me even though she innocently made everyone believe she sent me out of the pack so I could have a better life. Goddess, I hate that woman and I still do!"

Yes, I was confessing.

There was no need to hold back

anymore because I could see death looming over Raiden, ready to snatch what was left of his soul after I tainted it with dark magic... have been doing that since I

n

returned to the pack and et

first, it

was effective. I was able to tear him and Aurelia apart but for some reason, the dark magic began to wear off from the moment Aurelia rejected him. I didn't know that until Aurelia returned to the pack and made it obvious that I was losing my grip on Raiden. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"But you know what, I did get a better life in the human world. I got to make friends with the banished folks from the realm." I uttered with a small chuckle, finding the twist of fate funny. "Perhaps if your parents had not sent me away, I wouldn't have found a way to destroy what you had with Aurelia. In the real sense, your parents helped me, Raid. They helped me get you back until now." Content belongs to

Despite his weak state, Raiden stuttered, "You ma-made friend with the banished wi-witches? Why? You told me you were alone while you were away/ You didn't me-mention the human wo-world—”

"I lied to you, Raid! Deal with it! I manipulated you, reduced your IQ with dark magic, and tried to kill Aurelia when you wouldn't stop looking for her after she left and rejected you." I scoffed. "I still don't understand how you could hate her and still hold on to her, Raid."

While Raiden looked like his own disbelief would suffocate him, Aurelia was still completely focused on her friend. It was as if the rest of us didn't exist at that moment.

"You made it difficult to love you after my return, Raiden. I tried to make you hate her, tried to wipe her off the surface of the earth, and also make you mark me but every effort was pointless. You didn't even flinch after had your parents d so no one could interfere in our affairs. You didn't care! All you cared about was stupid Aurelia who I

assumed was dead until she

resurfaced with fucking twins!" I

laughed at the end of my outburst.

Saying those words out loud made me realize that the moon goddess had been toying with me all along. I thought fate was on my side but in fact, it has been mocking me.

"Y-you-" Raiden groaned.

"Don't stress. I'll end your misery and kill your parents as well since keeping them alive is now pointless. I mean what would I do with them after your death?"

Raiden breathed, "Where have you been keeping them?"

If he wasn't on the brink of death, I sensed he would have barked at me. Perhaps It was a good thing that Raiden was dying. I could take over the pack with my family and be the first female Alpha in history.

"They never left the pack, Raid. They have been in the same place I held your son-" I thought I should let everything out.

However, my aide's voice broke into my mind, "Dammit, Larisa! You've to run as fast as you can. I can't hold them back anymore. I've been trying to tell you that Raiden's men are on their way but your mind was sealed and we're close. Run! Run, Larisa!"

No. I can't leave without killing Aurelia and finish everything I've started.

"Instruct my family's men to engage them. I need more time." I seethed to him.

But he broke to me, “They are all down. I found them knocked out. You've to leave now, Larisa. Trust me to finish what you started. This is our fight. Let me be of help to you."Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

For a moment, I was unsure but knowing that I had no choice, I ran, thinking that I would be able to show myself after Raiden's funeral.

If only I knew that son of a bitch called fate was mocking me again.
