Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 121

The Second Abduction–1

Thea’s POV

I was in a shitty mood today, mainly because Leo was still sulking about me kicking Sebastian out of the house. I thought I’d been hiding my feelings perfectly, but those green eyes that exact same ones Sebastian could see right through my facade.

Now, I regretted all those little performances Sebastian and I had put on in front of Leo. We thought we were protecting him, creating the illusion of a whole family, giving him a happy childhood. But we were just fucking lying to him, confusing him even more.

Now he stubbornly believed that Sebastian and I had once been in love and could somehow rekindle that flame.

I had no idea how to tell him the truth without breaking his innocent heart. How could I explain that the love he believed his parents shared was nothing but an elaborately crafted lie?

My biggest fear was that when the truth finally came out, he would hate us for our deception. But I couldn’t let this charade continue either, couldn’t let him keep dreaming of the possibility of Sebastian and me.

With a sigh, I dragged myself out of bed. After dropping Leo off at school, I had gone back

to sleep. As my pregnancy progressed, my body felt heavier, and exhaustion followed me

like a shadow.

With sluggish steps, I walked to the bathroom and took a shower. Even the warm water couldn’t wash away the bone–deep fatigue. I picked out a white spaghetti–strap dress with

blue flowers that fell just above my knees, no longer trying to hide my growing belly. Since Seraphina and Maximus already knew about my pregnancy, there was no point in hiding it anymore.

I couldn’t be bothered with makeup, just dabbed some concealer under my eyes to hide

the dark circles.

As soon as I got downstairs, the doorbell rang.

I really didn’t have the energy to deal with any visitors, especially when I was feeling this

low.

The Second Abduction–1

Opening the door, I was greeted by Roman’s haggard face, which immediately made me regret my decision to answer.

I tried to close the door, but he blocked it before I could slam it in his face.

“What do you want?” My tone was so cold it surprised even me.

Strangely, I didn’t even have to try to be cold anymore. That icy, distant attitude came naturally, as if I wasn’t facing my former brother but a complete stranger.

“Can I come in and talk?” he asked, unease flickering in his eyes.

“Not a fucking chance! Say what you need to say and get the hell out.” I wasn’t in the mood to be polite.

I saw him hesitate, which only made me more curious. Roman had always been arrogant and confident. When had he ever been so afraid in front of me? It was amusing to see him this nervous.

“I was wondering if you could talk to the Kincaid Alpha and Luna,” he finally said quietly, his voice so low I could barely hear him.
