Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 163

The World–Shattering Kiss (Part 1)

Thea’s POV

My brain cells were completely fried.

I’d been sitting here for about an hour since Jaxon left. Earlier, I’d asked if he could keep Leo overnight at his place, and he agreed. I needed space to process everything.

I was still trying to wrap my head around all that I’d learned today. It was too much information to absorb at once, and I had no fucking idea how to deal with any of it.

My phone rang, cutting through the silence. For a moment, I considered ignoring it, but decided to answer anyway. It could be something important.

I mindlessly swiped the screen and put the phone to my ear without saying anything. My brain was just empty, waiting for whoever was on the other end to speak first.

“Thea,” she sighed with relief. “Thank the Goddess. Are you okay? Roman told me what happened today.”

I instantly recognized her voice. Iris.

“Honestly, I don’t know,” I answered softly.

I still couldn’t comprehend how Aurora could be so cruel to Jaxon and Wyatt. I knew she’d always wanted to bear Sebastian’s children, but to reject your own flesh and blood simply because the child didn’t have Sebastian’s DNA? That was beyond fucked up.

“Roman told me that you discovered the truth and exposed Aurora’s lies,” Iris said.

As someone who knew what it felt like to be rejected by parents, I completely understood Wyatt’s pain. I took his pain as my own because he reminded me of myself.

He didn’t choose Aurora as his mother, yet she hurt him like he was nothing. It both

infuriated and broke me.

“Yeah.” I replied.

“Tell me everything,” she insisted, so I started telling her everything from beginning to

end.

By the time I finished, I was crying again. I didn’t want to project my pain, but it was really hard.

“I didn’t know where I was going until I arrived at the Sterling house and saw they were all having a gathering,” I told her. “I was so angry for Aurora, and for myself. I wanted to do something for Wyatt, something that nobody did for me when I was cruelly dismissed

as a child. I wanted to stand up for him, to make Aurora accountable for her actions.”

That was something I’d always prayed for growing up. Other Pack members noticed how

Derek and Margaret treated me, but they said nothing. Even Sebastian’s parents kept silent, following their friends‘ lead. No one stood up for me or for justice. So I decided to do that for Wyatt.

“I understand you, baby. You did the right thing exposing what a bitch she is,” Iris said.

I felt relieved. Part of me had wondered if maybe I shouldn’t have done it that way. Maybe

I could have handled it better, but I was too angry to even think straight. I couldn’t help

myself. All I thought about while driving was: like mother, like daughter.

I was about to say something when the doorbell rang.

“Someone’s at my door, Iris. I gotta go answer it.”

I felt so tired and drained, both emotionally and physically.

“Okay. We’ll talk tomorrow. I know it’s been an exhausting day for you.”

We said goodnight and hung up. I considered ignoring whoever was at the door. Like I said, I was too tired to deal with anyone.

I got up slowly to answer the door.

“Sebastian, what are you doing here?” I asked in surprise.

If I’m being honest, I hadn’t expected to see him. I thought he’d be with Aurora,

“Can I come in?” he asked, not answering my question.
