Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 266

Thea’s POV

I woke up in Sebastian’s arms. Last night, for whatever reason, after he asked me to stay, I couldn’t leave. I wanted to, I struggled with it, but ultimately I lost. By the time I decided to share the bedroom with him, he had already fallen back asleep.

His arm was wrapped tightly around my waist, as if even in sleep he feared I would leave. In this position, I felt loved, cared for, safe -all the past hurts seemed to melt away, I could feel his hot breath on the back of my neck, making my skin tingle all over.

I carefully got up, not wanting to wake him. I needed to make sure to was up and wouldn’t be late for school.

I tiptoed out of the room, checked on Phoenix first, then headed to do’s room.

“Leo,” I called, but it wasn’t necessary because he was already up.

He glanced at me but didn’t greet me, just continued buttoning his shirt.

“Are you still mad at me?” I asked, crossing his room to sit on the bed.

He looked at me, or rather glared at me, but said nothing. I sighed, certain he was going to ignore me the way I’d been ignoring his father. I was about to get up and leave when his hurt voice stopped me in my tracks,

“I just don’t understand,” he said softly. “You know how much I hate Piper, but you insisted I invite her or you’d cancel my party. Why? Why are you on her side?”

The pain in his voice broke my heart. I would never do anything to hurt my son, but I also knew I couldn’t let him exclude that girl.

“Come here, sweetheart.” At first, I thought he would ignore me, but he didn’t. He hesitantly sat beside me.

“I’m not on her side, Leo,” I answered.

“Then why do you insist I invite her?”

This was something I never thought I’d share with my son, but I had no choice. If I wanted him to understand, I needed to tell him the painful truth about my younger years.

Taking a deep breath, I began: “When I was about your age, I didn’t have many friends. Most kids my age thought I was weird, not cool. I wasn’t bullied, but I wasn’t accepted either. They rarely invited me to things. I never got invited to birthday parties or sleepovers or anything like that. Every time I saw others receiving invitations and I didn’t, it hurt. I used to cry about it a lot.”

These memories still pained me to this day. What was even more painful was that I wasn’t just an outsider at school, but at home as well. And as I got older and the fact that I was Wolfless came to light, things got even worse. I was hurting, but I didn’t want to give up, so I kept trying to fit in, only to be rejected each time.

“Who were they? What people? I’m going to find them and hurt them for hurting you. No one gets to hurt my mom!” Leo’s outburst pulled me from my painful memories.

He was angry, and I smiled because he was angry on my behalf.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him toward me. “That was a long time ago, Leo… I insisted you invite Piper because I’ve been there, and I know how painful it is to see everyone else being invited while you’re excluded. I don’t want what happened to me to happen to any child.”

He was quiet for a moment, and I hoped I had convinced him, made him understand my perspective. I loved him so much, and I was

tired of the distance between fis.

“I still don’t like her, and I probably never will, but I understand you Mom,” he finally said. “I’ll invite her, but don’t expect me to be her friend.

He hugged me, and my heart settled. It had been over a week since held my baby boy, and it felt good to have him in my arms. again.

After we parted, I kissed his forehead and left his room to go downstairs. I greeted Mary, who was busy preparing breakfast, then grabbed a glass of water and some painkillers before heading back upstairs.

When entered the master bedroom, I’d hoped Sebastian would still be asleep so I could just leave the water and pills and go, but unfortunately, he was awake.

Honestly, I didn’t feel ready to face him or talk to him yet. I walked across the room in silence, placing the items on the nightstand.

“Good morning, Thea,” he greeted, his eyes somber.

I knew it was childish, but I ignored his greeting. I tried to free myself, but his grip was tight, refusing to let go.

“Listen to what? How you used my body as a substitute for Aurora? spat angrily, trying to pull my hand away.
