Chasing His Betrayed Luna

69. Jessica's Plan



AURELIA

~<>~

For a split minute after reading the note, the world around me faded, and it was almost as if I was pulled into a real yet subconscious world where I vividly saw Larisa sitting in an unfamiliar room, seething as she poured her anger into the words.

I could swear to the goddess that I saw her. I could still sense her on the note even though I couldn't explain how.

As if it hadn't happened at all, I was shoved back to reality, Jessica's usual unreadable face twisted as she stared at me as if my head had suddenly been replaced with an ugly hippo's.

Raiden on the other hand has his mouth wide open. I didn't miss the mistrust in his eyes after I blurted out what I saw and sensed without thinking twice. Honestly, I didn't stop to think until Inara etched, "That was a clear vision, Relia."

"A vision?" I asked my wolf out of shock.

Although I've had visions in the past, there has never been a clear one and why was I suddenly getting a vision after countless failed attempts? "Yes. Larisa has Kyle." Inara responded, growling with rage.

My heart sank as unexplainable pain swelled within me but pain wasn't all I felt. Fury. I was boiling with it and it wasn't even Inara's. It was purely mine.

"We've to go, Raiden." I blurted again but suddenly remembered the warning in the note. She didn't want me to come with anyone. I knew she wasn't planning to give Kyle back and she'd try to kill me as soon as I'm sighted. If only she knew who she was dealing with. I corrected myself, "I've got to go now."

Raiden who hasn't said a word since I told him that the crazy woman he stubbornly chose over our predestinated bond was the kidnapper we had been searching everywhere for, eventually muttered, "You can't just assume she is the villain after reading a note, Aurelia. Larisa wouldn't kidnap Kyle. She isn't that kind of a person-"

"Oh, she isn't? Then what kind is she, Raiden? Please enlighten me!" I snapped. I couldn't believe he was still defending her telling him about the vision. "You don't even know her. She's evil. Nina warned me "

"Nina or no Nina, we can't just label Larisa as the bad person without evidence. How do you know she is the one? I have hurt her and I won't do more of that just because you suspect her, Aurelia." Raiden gritted. "And you'd be crazy to think I'd let you go into the forest alone."

He snatched the note from me as if that would stop me from dashing towards the marked spot... the spot I knew Larisa marked.

I was about to yell at Raiden. Call him all sorts of names, in fact. However, Inara chided, "Don't argue with him, Relia. He's right and since you can't tell him how you got to know the truth, hold your tongue."

"Evidence or not, Ina. This shows that he would always protect Larisa over my kids." I scoffed. "He doesn't want to hurt her again? Coming from the same man who repeatedly hurt me without remorse. Fucking hypocrite!"

Raiden stared at me like he had questions for me but suddenly changed his mind because he could tell that I wouldn't provide the answers he needed. Instead, he breathed, "I'll take this note to the warriors and we will find a way to lure the kidnapper out."

Honestly, I was tired of arguing with this man but how could I stop when he was this stupid?

"The warriors? Are you crazy?" I

barked at him, snatching the note back from him. “None of them can see this! If Larisa can kidnap my son, keep him within your pack without anyone sighting him, and also deliver a threatening note to my door, you should know that there is a mole among your men. What will they do to my son if you go against the instructions given in the note by sharing the details with your

warriors? She will fucking find out, Raiden-"

“Fine!" Raiden seethed. "I won't show them but can you please stop accusing Larisa without proof? Tell me how you came to be so sure. Help me understand you, Aurelia."

The last part of his statement

sounded like a plea. His eyes

scanned my face expectantly and at that moment, a part of me yearned to trust Raiden so I could find Kyle and get back to Black Fur Pack as soon as possible but telling Raiden about my ability would do more

harm than good.

I just have to find Kyle myself. Go to the marked spot when no one is watching and get my son back... after tearing Larisa apart.

"I thought I perceived her on the note, Raiden." I shrugged, hoping that he wouldn't ask any more questions and that he'd take my words... believing me for once in his life.

"This note carries no scent, Aurelia. You can lie to me all you want but please keep Larisa's name off your lips and stay put-"

"I can keep your lover's name out of

n

my mouth but don't expect me to stay put white the instructions given were clear! I'll go into that forest alone and there would be nothing you or anyone can do to stop me!" I barked, my chest rising and falling

as glared at Raiden.

I assumed he was the only one who would be against me. However, Jessica muttered, "I can't you go alone, Lia. It's obviously a trap and I promised my Alpha that you would be protected-"

"Jess, you of all people shouldn't try to stop me." I whimpered.

"I can and I will." Jessica retorted before he whispered, "Whereas, as much as you both feel the need to constantly be at each other's throats, matters like this shouldn't be discussed outside. Just like you pointed out, Lia, the kidnapper is watching and listening."

Jessica continued, "To get Kyle back safely, we have to carefully plan. We have to fool the kidnapper and we can't bring anyone in. Just the three of us."

Raiden and I gazed at each other before returning her gaze to Jessica who asked, "Can we agree to work together without fighting like kids?" Clearly, the kids in this situation were Raiden and I.

Raiden put his ego aside as he nodded, agreeing to Jessica's plan.

However, it was much harder for me to agree because of the knowledge I already have thanks to the vision. Yet I chimed, "Alright", kinda lying to both Jessica and Raiden.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Inara was the only being I couldn't deceive and she was ready to follow my plan which was very simple- Make them believe we are working together but sneak out to save my son without them.

"We can't risk Kyle's life by wasting time with plans. We can do this alone." Inara'd words reverberated in my head.

Yes, that bitch was no match for us... or so I presumed.
