Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

43. Luna And Wife

AURELIA

Did he just askto be his mate and wife?

"Yes, girl!" Inara shrieked within me. "I told you he wants you. | just didn't know he needed you as well! This is so

romantic."

Romantic? Kinda

But terrifying? Absolutely.

Alpha Tristan shouldn't be doing this doing this-

"Doing what? Asking you to marry him and mate with him?" | could feel my wolf rolling her eyes as she asked me

sarcastically. "This is exactly what he should be doing. Think about it, Relia. The kids love him, he's powerful and

he'll be able to protect you and the kids from Raiden for the rest of your lives."

"Seems like you're forgetting that Raiden is known to be the most powerful of all Alphas in the realm. If he

decides to cfor me, I'd be putting Alpha Tristan and the Black Fur members at risk. | shouldn't marry him,

Ina. | shouldn't be his mate when I'll only be a burden-" Alpha Tristan cut my line of thoughts when he went down

on one knee, holding my hands and gaze while everyone in the arena gasped. "I don't have a proposal ring at

the moment not because | haven't been planning to spend the rest of my life with you and the kids but because |

couldn't wait to get back to our pack where your ring is waiting. I've always wanted you to be mine."

Saying his dark orbs were glinting with a breathtaking amount of raw affection would be an understatement but

damn did he take my breath away. | just couldn't decide if it was good or bad.

Huh. | could only imagine Jessica's shock right now. In fact, what would happen if Alpha Tristan eventually finds

his fated mate? What would happen if | marry him by the tshe shows up to claim her place in his life?

"Say something, Lia. Please." Alpha Tristan voiced, his eyes darting around the arena for a split second before

they rested onagain.

| imitated him, looking around to see the shocked expression that | assumed would be on everyone's face and

perhaps pain on Jessica's but to my surprise, | found Jessica smiling and she mouthed, "Say yes, Lia."

But how could she say that when | knew that she had always wanted to be with Alpha Tristan and to be sincere,

she would make a better partner for him just like she would have made a better representative for Black Fur

pack during the last duel... which I just lost. "Stop thinking less of yourself, Relia. Jessica is great but we're great

as well and Alpha Tristan wants us." Inara scoldedwhile the heat of Alpha Trstna's gaze burned into my face.

"And in case you've forgotten, you're keeping him on his kneel before the entire realm... before Raiden and his

dumb mate."

| made the mistake of letting my eyes find Raiden and right beside him was Larisa. Of course. Larisa whispered

swords into Raiden's ears, smiling like she'd hit the jackpot. Completely oblivious to me, Raiden's face

stretched into a smile, causing my heart to tighten for sunknown reason.

Gosh! | hated those two.

"Saying yes to Alpha Trustan is the best way to get back at those two. You don't actually have to sell your soul to

the devil-" Inara whispered.

But | countered, "I don't want to use Alpha Tristan like that. He deserves better than a woman with a dead heart

and two kids."

On clue, Katie ran into the dueling area, screaming, "That's my mommy and daddy!"

My jaw dropped just as Kyle joined her and they both ran to us, standing beside Alpha Tristan like his little

supporters.

"What do you say, Lia?" Alpha

Tristan asked again. "Let's make this official and my knees are beginning to hurt." He said the last part jokingly

and he laughed heartily along with

the kids.

My heart fluttered as my face mirrored their happy expressions. If anyone was still thinking about the result of

the duel, | wouldn't know because | wasn't. This moment was all that mattered.

"His knees are hurting, Mama. Don't keep Papa on his knees." Kyle chuckled, remindingthat I still needed to

give Alpha Tristan an answer.

Katie muttered, her hands in the air, "Con, Mom."

"Yes, Relia." Inara supported as well.

And to my surprise, a few of the warriors | have spent the last three years training with joined us on the field,

showing their support for Alpha Tristan andin a way Raider and

They chanted in unison, "Will you be our Luna, Lia?"

the

| couldn't stop myself from chuckling as happiness blossomed in the core of my soul.

Jessica stepped closer to us with Hazel beside her and together they both muttered, "Say yes."

It was only a matter of tbefore people from other packs, except the Dark Moon pack, joined Black Fur

members as they chanted, "Say Yes... Say Yes... Say Yes."

"Seriously, Lia, my knees are killing me." Alpha Tristan laughed again, capturing my dead heart with the sound of

"You can get up, Alpha Tristan." | tried pulling him up but he was rigid.

He shook his head, holding on to his captivating smile, "Not until you accept to be my Luna and wife, Lia."

He sounded so sweet and genuine

enough to makebelieve that he

could revive my dead heart and makelove him. At that moment,

| believed that with Alpha Tristan, |

could give my kids a happy and complete family.

Clouds of doubt cleared from my eyes and with a smile on my face, | parted my lips and voiced my response.

"Yes, I'll marry and mate with you."

The reality of those words hitwhen Alpha Tristan stood up and claimed my lips in a slow passionate kiss that

hadmelting for the first tin years.
