Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 270

Sebastian’s POV

Goddamn it, I hated this feeling! I hated the tension between Thea and me. I hated the way she looked at me every time we passed each other–that lost, uncertain expression in her eyes.

It had been several days since that morning. I’d thought things would return to normal after I explained everything, but I was dead wrong. In fact, things had gotten worse after I told her the truth.

I’d moved back home, but everything was different. Don’t get me wrong, she hadn’t turned into some raging bitch or anything, but honestly, I’d prefer that to this polite coldness.

The fear of losing her grew stronger with each passing day, I couldn’t help wondering what would happen once she fully recovered her memories and discovered we were already divorced, that I’d deceived her.

This fear gripped my heart like a vise. Unable to sit still, I stood up and began pacing around my study, Lately, I’d spent most of my time at home in this room. I could barely sleep, the thought of losing her keeping me awake at night.

Part of me wanted to just tell her everything, rip the bandage off and face the

consequences. But another part refused, still clinging to hope that Thea and I could start

over,

The door opened, and Damien walked in. Before it closed, I caught a glimpse of the busy

chaos outside.

“Thea really went all out this time, didn’t she?” he smiled as he sat down.

Today was Leo’s birthday, and everyone was making final preparations. It was a superhero–themed party because that’s what Leo wanted, and what Leo wanted, Leo got. He’d invited all his friends and his entire class. He’d even invited his favorite teacher.

I just nodded, looking out the window at the garden. Servants were busy setting everything up. Thea was directing them, with Phoenix comfortably nestled against her chest in a baby carrier.

Chapter 279

My gaze lingered on her, as if I was under some spell. She probably didn’t realize it, and I’d been blind to it for so long–she had a natural leadership quality, absolutely fitting for a Luna. This woman I’d looked down on countless times wasn’t just my love anymore; she’d become the only one I could imagine as the Luna of our Pack. How fucking ironic.

As if sensing my stare, she turned and looked up, our eyes meeting. We held each other’s gaze for a moment, my heart pleading with her, but she quickly looked away.

“How are things?” Damien asked after a while.

“Terrible.”

He remained silent for a moment, and so did I. I continued staring out the window, hoping she’d turn back to look at me. When she didn’t, I sighed wearily and walked back to my chair.

“Nothing changed after you explained everything to her?” he inquired.

I really didn’t want to talk about this, but I knew I needed to pull myself together. Today was Leo’s birthday, and I wouldn’t ruin it by being miserable.

“No,” I sighed. “She doesn’t ignore me like before, but she’s not back to normal either.

She’s distant.”

I guess I was getting a taste of my own medicine, and it tasted like shit. I’d spit it out if I

could, but I couldn’t. It was karma… and honestly, I deserved it.

“You have to understand her, give her time. It’s not easy remembering those words you said; if I were in her position, I’d be conflicted too. No matter your explanation, no matter whether you meant it or not, it doesn’t matter. Hearing those words from the man you love is devastating.”

I understood what he meant. I got it. If our roles were reversed, I’d be fucking devastated too. I had no excuses. I was a complete asshole, and now my actions were finally catching up with me.

Every day felt like my heart was being torn apart. I knew I was the only one to blame for my suffering, but I still couldn’t help hoping and praying she’d forgive me. That she’d give us a chance, even though I never gave her one all those years ago.
