Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 157

Knockout Blow–1

Sebastian’s POV

“Will Leo be joining us today?” My mother asked, her eyes hopeful as we stood in the

foyer.

“No. I didn’t tell Thea about this in advance. Didn’t want to add pressure on her,” I replied, stepping into the Sterling house.

Another monthly gathering between our Packs. Just like last time, I didn’t want to be here, but I’d promised my mother I would show up.

“I miss Leo so much. Margaret does too. Now that she and Thea are estranged, these gatherings are the only time she gets to see him,” she paused, her eyes searching mine for

some kind of reassurance.

I wanted to feel bad for her, but I couldn’t. That made me an asshole, but I was pretty sure we were all paying the price for what we’d done to Thea.

“Maybe next time,” I said, brushing past her.

My mother and Margaret had been friends for years. She’d do anything for her best friend. I didn’t want to stand there listening to a half–hour speech about how fucking miserable

Margaret was.

I didn’t need to hear about someone else’s pain when I was drowning in my own.

Mom followed me to the backyard. I knew the Sterling house well. After all, they’d lived here for years. This was where Thea and I got married, where she tried to run away when she found out she was pregnant.

I stopped suddenly, causing my mother to bump into my back.

“What’s wrong, Sebastian?” she asked, but I didn’t turn around or respond.

When I didn’t answer, she moved in front of me. My eyes landed on her but didn’t really

see her.

“Sebastian? What’s the matter?”

“I just remembered the day I caught Thea trying to run away. Looking back now, I can’t imagine what my life would be like if she had succeeded.”
