Chasing His Betrayed Luna

AURELIA

~<~

Keeping my wolf's breed a secret has been difficult. Sometimes, Inara experiences a dominating boost of her spiritual energy and if I fail to be on guard, she would force me to shift and do as she pleases. Although I usually find a secluded place to shift and let her roam around while no one is watching, I haven't been able to do that in over a month.

Precisely, I haven't been able to let Inara out since I arrived in Dark Moon Pack.

It was safer that way.

But after a month of keeping her locked in, I could feel her energy crackling within. Inara was also doing her best to remain at ease because neither of us could risk getting discovered and Kyle was still missing.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Six days. My son has been missing for six days.

Yet I stood before the mirror in the bathroom, mixing a hair dye. Dying my hair was one of the many things I had to do to keep my wolf's breed hidden.

"To think you used to believe your natural white hair made you a freak." Inara made fun of me, speaking to me for the first time since our failed attempts to use our gift to find Kyle.

"I was bullied because of it, Ina. I was even called Young Granny on many occasions just because my hair was white." I retorted, forcing a smile.

Since Kyle was kidnapped, there has been little to no reason to smile genuinely. Even as I dyed my hair, I could feel a lump in my chest. I wondered if dying my hair was what I should be doing but on second thought, keeping Inara's breed a secret was important. I couldn't neglect this till my hair turned white-

A knock from the other side of the door broke my chain of thought. I quickly applied the rest of the dye when I heard Jessica call out to me.

"A moment, please," I stated.

When Inara surfaced after the birth of the kids, she shed light on some dark spots in my life, including my hair. Alpha Tristan was the only person in the Black Fur pack who had seen my natural hair and he did by accident. Jessica and Hazel knew me to be a black haired woman and that wasn't about to change today.

"Alpha Tristan dropped a cell phone for you before he left. He asked me to give it to you if we are still here after five days of his departure so you both can communicate." Jessica announced her voice void of emotions.

She was still mad at me and I haven't had the time to apologize to her as she deserved.

"You can leave it on the bed, please. I might take a while here." I replied.

Sounds of her residing footsteps echoed through the bathroom and I let out a sigh when I heard her close the bedroom door after her. Since Hazel had taken Katie out on a walk, I planned to dye my hair, freshen up, and take a walk around the pack myself, hoping I would perceive Kyle somewhere.

Yes, he was still in the pack.

Perhaps it's time I take matters into my own hands.

17.

After several minutes of staring at myself in the mirror and getting lost in thought, washed off the dye, freshened up, and got dressed for my walk. My eyes fell on the cett phone Jessica left on the bed, a part of me longed to hear from Alpha Tristan but I resisted the urge.

"You should call him. Cell phones aren't popular among our kinds yet he got you one because he wants to keep in touch despite the distance." Inara etched.

I retorted, "I don't know what to say to him, Ina. I don't feel like making small talk at the moment."

"You can talk a walk now, Relia but when you return, you've to put a call through to him. Perhaps he might guide us on how to use our gift to find Kyle. Tristan could help us-"

"I won't be so sure about that. He won't trust me to carry out the steps without revealing to the world that you are a white wolf. We'll be putting ourselves in danger and Katie too." I pointed out to my wolf.

"Are you worried about Tristan's trust or you are scared of failing again?" Inara called me out by snarling those words into my head.

"Is that wrong?" I asked without arguing with my wolf.

Inara chimed, "No, Relia. What's wrong is how you have decided to give up on Kyle."

"I haven't given up on him. That's not fair, Inara!" I countered.

"Then why won't you try again? We have to use every power at our dis[osal to find Kyle and Tristan can help us to call him." Inara gritted. was about to say no to her demands when She added, "Or I'll assume we are giving up on Kyle and if we are, we might as well pack our bags and begin the journey back to Black Fur Pack without Kyle-"

"I'd never do that!" I grunted in anger.

"Prove that to yourself by calling Tristan. Now." Inara stood her ground.

My wolf's harshness was her way of pushing me toward what she believed would help us all. Inara wasn't just a special wolf. She was also smart. I'd be stupid to not listen to her. "Fine, stubborn ass." I concurred with a growl.

Inara sent a mental picture of her

rolling her eyes to my head, forcing a

subtle chortle out of me as I picked the cell phone up, momentarily forgetting about the walk I planned to take. I sat at the edge of the bed and soon found out that contrary to my initial assumption, the cell phone was easy to operate.

Within a twinkle of an eye, Tristan's voice filled my ears, along with his excitement "Lia, I have been expecting to hear from you."

I couldn't share in his excitement but I muttered, "Please help me, Alpha Tristan."
