Chasing His Betrayed Luna - Chapter 102: Chapter 102

ALPHA RAIDEN
With an unexplainable pain surging in the core of my soul, I muttered to the twins, “Can I see your mom? I need to talk to her
“No, you can’t. She has nothing to say to you.” Katie countered sharply.
Kyle supported without hesitation, “And you have nothing to say to her.”
My brows furrowed. I could battle with a multitude of warriors but these two were my weakness. Without much defense, they were impenetrable.
“Did you do something to them? They are very mad, Lucas.” Lex asked at first but he soon voiced his assumptions. “You must have offended them. Just apologize. I can’t stand the glares.”
I took my wolf’s advice even though I was certain I didn’t do anything that could have offended the twins… At least not recently. I cleared my throat, my apology slipping out. “Whatever I did, I’m sorry. Dad can be a fool at times, Sweeties. Can you forgive me?”
“Not when you hurt Mama.” Kyle seethed to my surprise.
Katie rubbed more salt on my open wound when she also added, “Yes, no one hurt my mom, and get forgiven. We don’t want you anywhere near her.”
Saying I was stunned beyond words would be an understatement. I simply stared at the twins, wondering if I should ask them to tell me how I had hurt their mom. Fiona and I haven’t even argued in a few days. I didn’t recall doing anything to her- Oh no! It couldn’t be.
She wouldn’t have told the kids about my past mistakes just to take them with her, right?
She wouldn’t do that to me even though I deserved it-
Fiona’s voice dragged me from my cloudy thoughts and slammed me back to reality as her words echoed in my ears, “Who is at the door?” She stepped into the living room, looking stunning despite her messy appearance, and when she saw me, she muttered, “Hey, Lucas. What brings you here?”
I inhaled deeply, untying my tongue and looking at everything I could set my eyes on, except the kids who were still pouring fire on my face. “I came here to invite you to my dad’s funeral but I heard you are leaving the pack tomorrow.”
“Oh, yes. I didn’t know about the funeral and I pray Dominic finds peace in the afterworld but I can’t postpone the trip any longer than I already have.” Fiona answered with a smile. A fake smile. I could see right through it.
My heart crashed against the hard shore of my belly as it fell. She wouldn’t change her mind? They are really leaving tomorrow?
Fiona continued, oblivious to the fact that she was fueling my messy state, “I was on my way to see you as well. I was wondering if you could help with transportation. Your men can drop us off and return home but if it’s too much to ask, I’ll ask Tristan to send-”
“I’ll make arrangements,” I answered.
Tristan this! Tristan that!
Were they that blind to my misery?
The sound of that bastard’s name was like a deadly poison to my soul. They were killing me and hell! I deserve it but I couldn’t bear it.
“Thank you. I’m sorry we can’t attend Dominic’s funeral. You know I have to take care of Jessica before it’s too late.” Fiona apologized and this time she sounded genuine as he eyes shifted from one twin to the other.
Clearly the twins didn’t know what happened to Jessica.
“I understand,” I stated bitterly. I was about to take my leave when I decided to ask the biggest question in my mind. “But why are they mad at me? I don’t understand that. They also mentioned that I hurt you.”
The twins scrawled simultaneously but Fiona cautioned them and forced them to apologize to me.
The apology wasn’t what I needed. Yet the twins apologized before Fiona sent them to the room. They didn’t want to leave but they did after sending one last glare my way. As soon as they were out of earshot, I asked with a heavy heart, “You told them about our past, didn’t you?”
Fiona sighed, her long lashes kissing the undereye as she blinked. “Yes, I did, Lucas. I didn’t tell them everything but-”
“Why would you do that?” I gasped, a million emotions crashing into me at once. I didn’t even hear the past where she said she didn’t tell them everything. That wouldn’t change a thing. “Why would you tell them that even after I apologized to you?”
“Because I’m tired of being the bad guy, Lucas. They wouldn’t go home with me-”
“So you decided to ruin my chances with them so you can snatch them away from me?” I shook my head, my eyes clouded as I found it hard to believe that she would do something like that to me. “I apologized to you. I told you I was sorry—”
“But you still wouldn’t have let me leave with them and as I said, I didn’t tell them everything/ I wouldn’t want to traumatize my kids beyond repair. I only told them you hurt me and chose Lorraine over us.” Fiona forced those words through clenched teeth, clearly aiming to keep her voice down because of the kids.
A stray tear slipped out of my eyes, betraying me. I didn’t bother to swat it off my cheeks. She should see what she just did to me. “I planned to let you go, Fiona because I know that I don’t deserve you but do I really deserve to be hated by the kids I just met? They are mine too, Fiona.”
I let the dam break and tears spilled. Fiona opened her mouth but closed it as she watched me break before her.
“I understand my mistakes now and I know I caused you pain in the past. I just hope you will realize that I have changed and that I’d go through hell to earn your forgiveness.” I whimpered.
“I have forgiven you, Lucas. I just need my kids to stop seeing me as the devil. We can both agree that after everything I’ve gone through for them, I don’t deserve that. I’m sorry it had to come to this but you can win them back.” Fiona responded.
It was difficult to know if she was mocking me because we both knew it would be easier to kill the devil than to win the twins back. Or maybe she was being sincere… sincerely leading me to my death.
With no words left, I turned around, walking aimlessly but with a heavy spirit. Lex was quiet within me. Perhaps it was because he knew that even though Fiona didn’t tell the kids everything, I would never win them back.
I was terrible to their mom…
I was that bad.
After an eternity of walking aimlessly, my clouded eyes cleared a bit when I suddenly heard a familiar voice whispering in the middle of nowhere. I knew I was still in my pack but it was difficult to pinpoint my location as I moved closer.
It was Andrew and he was holding a cell phone.
As the Beta, he owned a cell phone despite its scarcity in the werewolf world but why was he answering a call in the middle of nowhere? I thought he was with my mom. I was about to make my presence known but I changed my mind when Andrew mumbled, “With everything going on in the pack, he is too distracted to know. He won’t find out, I promise.”
Huh?
He broke the camel’s back when he nodded and concluded, “Trust me to make that happen without revealing it to Lucas.” Andrew ended the call, exhaling audibly as he turned around. His eyes widened when his gaze clashed with mine.
If I was sad after my encounter with the kids and Fiona, my sadness became anger and I snarled, “It’s you. You are the snitch!”
Despite the anger eating me up, I couldn’t believe I was about to lose a brother…. Right after I lost my kids and mate.
