Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 126

The Push That Saved (Part 1)

Thea’s POV

“This can’t be fucking real!” Aurora stared at Graves, her face as pale as mine, shock

written all over it.

Fear gripped my heart like iron claws, squeezing until I thought it might explode. I’d thought Kane’s betrayal and kidnapping was the worst moment of my life, but Graves’s sick plan made me realize that the real nightmare was just beginning.

He’d just called Sebastian right in front of us, forcing him to choose between Aurora and me. Only one person would leave alive. What kind of twisted psycho death game was this?

The walls seemed to close in around me. Fear raced through my body, making my thoughts jumbled and chaotic.

“What’s wrong, Thea? Cat got your tongue?” Graves’s cold smile cut straight into my

heart.

I turned away, unable to meet his gaze. My mind was blank, my throat too dry to speak. This was the fifth time I’d faced death threats, but Graves’s crazed eyes told me I might

not escape this time.

I forced myself to calm down, refusing to accept that thought. I had Leo and the baby in my belly who needed me. I had to survive for them.

“Worried your ex–husband will choose your sister instead of you?” he taunted sharply.

“She’s not my fucking sister!” I snarled, finding some courage to fight back.

He let out a cold laugh.

“Doesn’t matter. This game will be fun. I can’t wait to see the great Alpha Ashworth break down–no matter who he chooses, someone will die because of his decision. That kind of guilt will slowly devour his soul.” With that, he turned and left, the metal door slamming

shut behind him.

“What are we going to do?” Aurora asked, her voice trembling with fear.

The Push That Saved (Part 1)

I didn’t answer her. Because Graves was right–Sebastian would never choose me. Aurora had always been the one in his heart. Even though we’d been married for seven years and I’d given him an heir, in a life–or–death situation, he would save her without hesitation. I’d already witnessed that at Derek’s funeral; I didn’t need another reminder.

I had to save myself. Seraphina and Maximus were surely looking for me, but they might not make it in time. If I waited for Sebastian to choose, I was as good as dead.

I began struggling, trying to break free from my restraints. I couldn’t flip the chair backward like I did during the last kidnapping because I was carrying a pup now–I

couldn’t risk hurting him or her. My only option was to try slipping out of the ropes.
