Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 31: Resistance–1

Sebastian’s POV

I closed my eyes, feeling a crushing wave of defeat wash over me. My mother’s gentle voice came through the phone: “I’m sorry, Sebastian, but Leo refuses to talk to you.”

The pain hit deeper than when Aurora had left me all those years ago. My son was angry with me, refusing to even take my calls. Thea was right, Leo should always come first, and I’d failed him.

I’d been late yesterday because I took Aurora on a yacht cruise around the bay. After she found out I’d dropped everything to rush to Thea’s side during the attack, she’d been upset. The cruise was my attempt to make it up to her. But I’d lost track of time, and my phone had died.

I’d never seen Thea that angry before. Watching her stand up to me yesterday, defending Leo – it stirred something in me. Pride, maybe. I hadn’t known she had that kind of fire in

her.

“Sebastian?” My mother’s voice pulled me back. “I need to hang up now.”

“No, please get him on the phone. I need to apologize.”

Leo had never refused to talk to me before. The knowledge that I’d disappointed him was

crushing.

Mother sighed. “You hurt him, Sebastian. He was so excited yesterday, so eager for you to

hear about his achievements. He cried during the video call with Thea. Leo never cries,

but you made him shed tears.”

I stared at the table, feeling like the worst person in the world. There were no excuses. I should have been at the school as promised, not out trying to placate Aurora.

“I know…” I sighed deeply, running a hand through my hair.

“Do you really? You weren’t the one watching him cry, trying to comfort him. I’m happy Aurora’s back so you’re not hurting anymore. I understand you’re trying to rebuild what you had. But that doesn’t mean you can neglect your responsibilities. You have a son, Sebastian, and he should always come first.”

Chapter 31: Resistance–1

“You don’t need to remind me. Thea already tore me a new one yesterday.” I gripped the

phone tighter.

“Good for her. As mothers, we’ll do anything for our children, even stand against their fathers if necessary.” Her words shocked me.

My mother had never, not once, taken Thea’s side. If anyone had opposed Thea the most,

it had been her.

“I understand, but can you please get him to talk to me? Please.” I rarely begged, but this was different.

“What do you mean?”
