The Betrayed Luna のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

Chapter 41: Family History*Delilah*I stared at Jamie, the man claiming to be an old friend of my father’s with disbelief. “What do you mean you’re a friend of my father’s? He doesn’t have any friends outside this pack.”Jamie chuckled, leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms over his chest. “We were friends before he brought you to this pack.”I stayed silent and looked at him, hoping he would just continue on his own. I didn’t know my dad well as it was, I had no idea who he was friends with honestly. I didn’t even think he had many friends now. “Before you guys went on the run and became rogues, he was friends with me and the other guys you met tonight as well. Back when he was still part of the Gallaway pack.”Jamie looked at me then, clearly hoping he had piqued my interest. And he had. I wanted to know more and I wouldn’t deny it.“Are you guys part of the Gallaway pack then? Is this some poor attempt to bring me back into the fold?” I glared a

Chapter 43: Making PlansAndrew*“Daddy, can you make my hair pretty like Mommy did?”My hand shook as I grabbed the brush from Flora’s outstretched hand. I fought the tears that brimmed in my eyes and gave Flora a shaky laugh. “I’ll do my best, baby. But no promises. I’m not magic like she is.”Delilah was still gone, kidnapped by rogue monsters. After talking to Conrad it was clear what their goal was in taking her from us. The rogues had been searching for a powerful shifter like Delilah to breed with, and they would stop at nothing to get her.The boys were already dressed, though they still didn’t look as put together as they did when their mother was there to take care of them.I’d been caring for them by myself since she was taken and every single day without her I marveled at all she’d been able to do without a fuss. Taking care of three children when they weren’t the same age was challenging enough, but triplets were a whole other matter. And she had done

*Andrew*After I dropped Cody, Kyle, and Flora off at school to give them some semblance of normality, I was finally able to get time alone to think about everything that had been going on. The drive to the packhouse was filled with my wild thoughts. I missed Delilah so much, my heart and soul ached for her. Her absence brought up many emotions. My respect for everything Delilah had done for the children had only grown and I knew when we found her and brought her back to safety, I would make sure she knew how much she was appreciated here. I couldn’t believe Delilah had done this alone for five years, I couldn’t even imagine handling everything the three needed without the help of my whole pack. Since Delilah was taken, Flora and Cody had begun opening up to me but Kyle seemed to have regressed. His bond with his mother was stronger than anything and I knew he felt the pain of her absence but Kyle had yet to speak to me about it. He kept a strong front to protect his siblings and

*Delilah* The guards in this pack aren’t stupid, but I’d picked up their pattern easily. They tried to make it confusing or thought they created a sophisticated routine but it was still a routine and the pattern returned. With my daily outings and involvement in the group, I was able to get a generic headcount of the rogue pack’s numbers and who was the most skilled. There were certain people that I needed to stay away from but others I could sense would be more sympathetic to my situation. “So, your dad liked to brag about how good of a hunter he taught you to be, is that true?” Nathan appeared in front of my cell with a shit-eating grin. His teeth were stained with yellow discoloration and a darker color that made me wonder if he had shifted recently, for a hunt. But if he had already hunted, why was he asking me about it now?“Stop talking to me about my father. At this point, nothing you say will surprise me.”“Oh? And what if I said some things about your little children

*Andrew*I sat on the end of the couch, away from Kendra with the kids playing between us. I didn’t want to be too close to her for any reason. I still didn’t trust her and I didn’t think I ever would.My phone buzzed and I looked to see a text from Conrad, he was on his way here. I furrowed my brow at that. He must have something important to share if he was coming here, he never did that. Kyle noticed my shift in emotion immediately. “What’s wrong, Dad?”I shook my head and tried to smile at him. “Nothing, buddy. I just got a text from Grandpa Conrad. He’s on his way here.”I knew I couldn’t lie to Kyle, he could read my emotions so I had no reason to try to keep them from him. But we hadn’t been showing any of that to Kendra. His powers, and his siblings' powers were kind of a family secret. I knew he wouldn’t say anything to call me out in front of her, but he’d still ask me later. Plus, I didn’t like lying to him, or any of them. Yes, they were children but they stil
