Chasing His Betrayed Luna by KiKi Jones

69. Jessica's Plan

AURELIA

For a split minute after reading the note, the world aroundfaded, and it was almost as if | was pulled into a

real yet subconscious world where | vividly saw Larisa sitting in an unfamiliar room, seething as she poured her

anger into the words. | could swear to the goddess that | saw her. | could still sense her on the note even though

| couldn't explain how.

As if it hadn't happened at all, | was shoved back to reality, Jessica's usual unreadable face twisted as she stared

atas if my head had suddenly been replaced with an ugly hippo's.

Raiden on the other hand has his mouth wide open. | didn't miss the mistrust in his eyes after | blurted out what |

saw and sensed without thinking twice. Honestly, | didn't stop to think until Inara etched, "That was a clear

vision, Relia." "A vision?" | asked my wolf out of shock.

Although I've had visions in the past, there has never been a clear one and why was | suddenly getting a vision

after countless failed attempts?

"Yes. Larisa has Kyle." Inara responded, growling with rage.

My heart sank as unexplainable pain swelled withinbut pain wasn't all | felt. Fury. | was boiling with it and it

wasn't even Inara's. It was purely mine.

"We've to go, Raiden." | blurted again but suddenly remembered the warning in the note. She didn't wantto

cwith anyone. | knew she wasn't planning to give Kyle back and she'd try to killas soon as I'm sighted. If

only she knew who she was dealing with. | corrected myself, "I've got to go now."

Raiden who hasn't said a word since | 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 assshe

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!" | snapped. | 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?

| have hurt her and | 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 fromas if that would stopfrom dashing towards the marked spot... the spot | knew

Larisa marked.

| 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." | scoffed. "He doesn't want

to hurt her again? Coming from the sman who repeatedly hurtwithout remorse. Fucking hypocrite!"

Raiden stared atlike he had questions forbut suddenly changed his mind because he could tell that |

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, | was tired of arguing with this man but how could | stop when he was

this stupid?

"The warriors? Are you crazy?" |

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 no

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? Tellhow

you cto be so sure. Helpunderstand you, Aurelia."

The last part of his statement

sounded like a plea. His eyes

scanned my face expectantly and at

that moment, a part ofyearned

to trust Raiden so | 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.

| 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 | perceived her on the note, Raiden." | shrugged, hoping that he wouldn't ask any more questions and

that he'd take my words... believingfor once in his life.

"This note carries no scent, Aurelia. You can lie toall you want but please keep Larisa's noff your lips

and stay put-"

"| can keep your lover's nout of

my mouth but don't expectto

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!" | barked, my chest rising and falling

as | glared at Raiden.

| 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 | promised my Alpha that you would be protected-" "Jess, you of all people shouldn't try

to stop me." | whimpered.

"I can and | 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 | 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 forto agree because of the knowledge | already have thanks to the vision. Yet |

chimed, "Alright", kinda lying to both Jessica and Raiden.

Inara was the only being | 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 twith plans. We can do this alone." Inara'd words reverberated in my

head.

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