Chasing His Betrayed Luna - Chapter 103: Chapter 103

ALPHA RAIDEN
This can’t be happening.
But it was happening.
It was fucking happening and I couldn’t pick one emotion to focus on. Yes, I was angry. My trusted man was the snitch and I was sure as hell he was talking to Lorraine on the phone.
Another betrayal.
This one was sharper, deeper, and more painful than Lorraine’s betrayal and I couldn’t shake off the need to let my emotions out, especially the anger.
“Lucas?” Andrew gasped, his brows raising like he was about to question me and he did question me. “The snitch? Me? Are you kidding me?”
“I heard everything. How could you stab me in the back?” I snapped, lunging forward with my fists balled and ready to hit Andrew.
Andrew tried to speak but I shut him up with a heavy blow to his face. My fist hurt but that was nothing compared to how much my heart was hurting. I didn’t stop with one blow, I continued, blocking my ears as Andrew grunted in pain, doing his best to dodge my attack and also fight back.
Lorraine betrayed me.
Fiona won’t forgive me.
My dad died because of my stupidity.
My mom suffered.
I didn’t get to meet my kids until they were old enough to call me out on my mistakes.
I lost my destined mate because I was obsessed with someone who I didn’t even know… I never knew Lorraine until she introduced herself to me in the forest that day… while I was lying in a pool of my own blood.
I destroyed my life because I was stupid.
And now? Now Andrew had proven to be a backstabber as well even though he was the brother I never had! We fucking grew up together. My parents raised him after his parents died during the war and this was how he repays me? Repays the pack?
“I should never have trusted you!” I snarled but I could barely hear my own voice.
Every thought that crossed my mind meant another hard punch for Andrew and soon enough, he stopped trying to defend himself… He lost the will to and that made me double my attacks.
Andrew’s face had become as red as the boiling rage within me. Although he was strong, he wasn’t exactly a warrior which meant whether he liked it or not, he was defenseless against a natural-born Alpha like me.
He wasn’t even born into a Beta family!
I made him a Beta. I gave him power! Authority and a family!
Yet he betrayed me.
How did I even miss it?
Fuck! Lex warned me.
My wolf told me that even though Andrew was dining with us when Nolan and the rest escaped didn’t mean he wasn’t the snitch. How could he have gotten away until now? Why am I finding out now? I mean, I have had enough for the day to be honest.
I just can’t deal with all of these-
My hands fell to myself, emotions pouring out of me as I began to cry, leaving Andrew’s weak body on the floor of the forest. I cried because I was lost. I cried because I couldn’t remain strong, not with everything life was throwing my way.
“Y-you ar-are ma-making a mistake, Ra-raiden….” Andrew stuttered, spitting out blood.
He still had the audacity to call me by my given name! “I’m Alpha to you, Traitor!”
“I’d n-never betray y-you. Y-you got this all wrong.” Andrew coughed.
I snickered, shaking my head as I recalled that Lorraine used to play this game with me as well. She used to manipulate my judgment and make me believe anything she set her mind to.
I was stupid.
But I was no longer stupid.
“Lorraine taught you well… or is it the other way round? Did you teach her how to outsmart me?” I seethed. “After all, you know me more than I know myself.”
To my surprise, Andrew let out a weak laugh, holding my gaze even though I could tell he was struggling to keep his eyes open. “I c-can’t be-belive this is ha-happening-”
The sound of his laughter made me feel small and I lost control over my rage again. Long forgotten were the tears and every reason I had to cry. I wore anger on my sleeve as my fists connected with Andrew’s body again.
Andrew couldn’t take more but I didn’t realize that until his head fell limply to the side. My hands froze in the air as realization hit me. “Is he dead?” I thought to myself, suddenly feeling another wave of sadness.
“He’s breathing.” Lex’s response came in a low voice.
“But not for long.” I found myself seething.
Andrew has to die. He has to pay for being a betrayal.
I sat beside him, minutes or maybe hours passing, and I still didn’t feel better. However, I recalled that I had to make plans for Fiona and the kids’ departure so I mercilessly dragged Andrew’s body through the rough path of the forest, taking him to my pack’s prison.
Jake’s jaw dropped when he saw who I was dragging and the state of his body but he didn’t utter a word to me. Instead, I did the speaking, “Lock him up. He is a friend of the Wellingtons and an enemy of the pack. He will be persecuted publicly after my dad’s funeral.”
“Y-yes, Alpha.” Jake stuttered, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Before I left the prison yard, I said to Jake, “You will be traveling with Fiona and the kids tomorrow. They are going back to Black Fur and I want you to get them there safely. Make arrangements and get ready.”
Jake nodded, bowing to me, “Your words are my command, Alpha.”
I returned to my mansion, going into the only room that still somehow had Fiona’s scent after many years, and while in that room, I licked my wounds and prepared myself for tomorrow.
