Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 167

Hate–2

Panic surged through me. Acknowledging that I was Wyatt’s mother meant saying goodbye to my dreams with Sebastian for good. I didn’t want to think about that. I didn’t want to let go. I remained silent, fighting her words in my mind.

“Aurora? Are you still listening?” Helena pressed.

I knew she was waiting for my agreement, for me to say “I’ll try” or something similar. But

I couldn’t.

Just then, the doorbell saved me.

“Someone’s at the door, Helena. I’ve got to go,” I said quickly, almost desperate to escape

this conversation.

“Don’t think this is over, Aurora. You can’t keep-”

I hung up, cutting off her unfinished lecture.

Opening the door, I was surprised to see Mom standing there. Her expression was stern,

but hope flared inside me anyway. She didn’t wait for an invitation, stepping directly into

my apartment.

“I’m not going to beat around the bush,” she said immediately, instantly extinguishing

that tiny flame of hope.

I closed the door and turned to face her. The disappointment and anger in her eyes nearly knocked me over, and it took all my strength not to break down in front of her.

“I want my grandson, and I expect you to formally introduce him to me,” she said firmly. “You will acknowledge him as your son and as part of the Sterling Pack. From now on, you will establish a relationship with him, get to know him, and include him in your life. This

is not a request, Aurora.”

I stared at her in disbelief. This couldn’t be real, right? She was actually forcing me to connect with him?

“Mom, you can’t ask this of me! I feel nothing for that child!” I blurted out, unable to control my emotions. I’d regretted the pregnancy from the moment I found out, so how

could I possibly turn around and try to build a life with him?

The anger in Mom’s eyes instantly blazed into a raging fire. I didn’t even see her move before pain exploded across my cheek. The slap left me dizzy, unable to believe what had just happened.

I clutched my burning cheek, shocked as I looked at her. She had never raised a hand to me in my entire life. Never.

“Listen to me carefully, Aurora; I’m giving you one last chance to repair your relationship with your son and the mate you cruelly used. If you refuse, I swear as the former Luna of the Sterling Pack that I will disown you, strip you of your standing in the Pack, and consider you a traitor to our family. “She spoke in a way that reminded me of who she was when Dad was still alive, that Luna with authority. But never before had it been directed

at me.

Fuck her. Fuck Thea and her self–righteous sense of justice. This was all her fault. She should have stayed quietly in her corner, being the insignificant wolfless girl she’d always

record I can’t–and don’t want to–shut off.
