Chasing His Betrayed Luna novel Chapter 84

LARISA’S POV

~<>~

It’s been three days of no news from Dark Moon Pack.

The news I expected to hear the most was the death of Raiden and Aurelia because even though I didn’t shoot her with a silver bullet, the poison I asked my men to soak the arrows in wasn’t exactly curable…

I believed Aurelia would die slowly and I’d be able to return home.

However, after days of silence from my aide, I was beginning to get impatient. I stared at the phone he and I had exchanged years ago in case of emergencies such as this one, hoping to hear it ring and see his name flash on the screen.

“Aahhh…” I screamed.

I have been staying in one of my father’s storage houses on the outskirts of the pack. I didn’t see myself spending two nights here not to think of more. I wanted comfort and this place wasn’t giving me that–

My raging thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my cell phone ringtone. The sound blared through the small space I had made for myself in the storage and I rushed to pick it up from.

“What took you so long? I’ve been waiting to hear from you!” I snapped into the speaker of the phone.

From the other side, my aide tried to speak, “You won’t believe what–”

“I don’t care. Just tell me I can come home and that they are all dead!” I interrupted.

“You can’t come home, Larisa. You would be killed–”

“Why can’t I?” I snapped, jolting off the hard wooden chair. “What do you mean?”

“Alpha Raiden survived. Aurelia did too and–”

“Impossible!” I barked. “How could they’ve survived? It was silver. He should be dead.”

This can’t be happening. I didn’t want him dead at first but Raiden has to die. He knows almost everything. Heck! I confessed to him. With Raiden alive, I’d never be able to return home. Who was I kidding? I’d never be able to live. Raiden would search underneath the earth if that is what it takes to find me and punish me–

“I don’t know how he managed to survive but he did even before we left the forest after your escape. It was unbelievable and I thought he would give up the ghost in the hospital but to my greatest shock, he sent an order just two days later. He ordered the arrest of your family members and everyone else in your household–”

“He can’t do that!” I cried out, my heart tightening for my parents.

Deep within me, I knew he cared about me. He must have fallen in love with me during our years of plotting and pleasuring each other and he’d make the perfect insider and informat.

With a smile, I countered, “No, my darling. We still have one last card.”

“We do?” He asked, underestimating my ability to make a solid and fatal comeback.

“Yes and that card is you,” I informed him. “I’ll go as far away as I can travel without getting spotted but you’ve to promise me that you’d be my eyes and eyes in Dark Moon Pack. Since I can’t return, please take over and carry out my plans from within. We’ve to save my family.”

“I’d do anything for you, Larisa. You should know that.” He replied without hesitation.

How a woman can bring a mighty man to his knees without trying…

“I know that and we’ll begin by making a big statement,” I smirked even though I might never forgive myself for missing the last chance I’d to end Aurelia, her bastard kids, and Raiden,

The rest of the call was used to plan out how my parents would be saved from Raiden’s wrath and the call only ended when I was satisfied with the plan but I soon realized that nothing would be easy for me henceforth.

I mean, Raiden was out for blood and I wasn't ready this time, in spite of my plans.
