Chapter 144: Chapter 144

Elsa just closed her eyes. The dice had already been cast. She understands her nephew's approach. Especially with the events happening in the pack and the city. She also suspects the treacherous actions of several, so Tom, who has a close relationship with Jessy, the son of his mother's killer, is right to be suspicious.

She won't hold it against him, it's now up to Tom to prove to both her son and her nephew that he can be someone to trust.

She has already forgiven him for having taken in this cursed kid but she will certainly not forgive him for any other interactions with him, especially if it turns out that this kid wants to hurt her family.

Greg went up to his room as Elsa got up. She had been brought here with Tom by Pamela to escape the murderous fury of her son.

Rayan surprised them in her room and used his unique ability to destroy the floor. Luckily there were no casualties. But that hadn't calmed her son who had taken it into his head to kill Tom. And if she dared to get in his way, he would forget that she was his mother. This sentence had broken her heart.

Her Rayan, she loves him more than anything. When he was born, she and her husband had been the happiest. But if her son hates her, what meaning will her life have? It was also their fault. Sleeping together in the bedroom she shared with his father while one of his photos was facing them. She didn't know she was so cruel. She understands her son's reaction.

Pamela also understood the rage that dwelt in her husband's heart so she ushered them out of the house quickly asking that they get into her car. They had to flee quickly.

The one place Rayan would never dare to destroy is their Alpha's home. So she took them there. But Rayan found them there. He couldn't smear the Alpha's home with Tom's blood so he just beat him nearly to death.

It was only when Pamela intervened, covering Tom's body with her own, that Rayan stopped, summoning her to get out.

But she held firm and fortunately, Greg arrived, definitely calming Rayan's ardor.

Pamela finished explaining the situation to me as I sighed. Honestly, how old is he throwing tantrums like that? His mother has the right to remarry anyway. Besides, Tom is a good person, at least if we discount his illegal activities. He loves Elsa, and it shows, I can understand that Jessy in the equation is a problem but the only thing that should count is his mother's happiness.

Pamela was crying while we were in the hallway. I have so many worries in mind and with the competition which has been brought closer, it's even more serious. But I can't ignore seeing my best friend, my new family in this kind of dilemma. At least I need to talk to Rayan, in my experience anyway.

"Stop crying Pam, I'll try to talk to him."

Pamela sniffled sadly as she was barred from entering the room. Her husband reproached her for defending his enemies. What a kid this guy is.

I felt Greg behind me and finally took a deep breath before hitting the door.

"Pam... I told you to get out. I don't want to see your face."

We heard Rayan scolding inside as Pamela cried harder, Greg hugging her to console her.

"He hates me." She cried as a frowning Greg stared at the door. I was in the same mindset as my alpha. For once, he exaggerates a bit to attack his wife like that.

" It's not Pam, it's me Sophia."

I spoke as silence greeted me. As Luna, he had to open up immediately but I didn't come as Luna, but as a friend even if for the moment, I am more the best friend of the woman he has just hurt. And if I have to make my voice heard and I have to use my position as Luna, I will not hesitate to teach this old kid a good lesson.

I sighed trying to calm myself down. I could feel my pheromones getting restless and violent, I needed to calm down.

" May I come in?" I asked again in my quieter voice as the door barrel broke. I sighed when the door opened and I walked in. Funny way to open the door. So is this Rayan's unique ability? Explosive telekinesis? I mean, being able to smash things or a room like that, he must be really strong. And especially capricious with a shit temperament.

I arrived in his room and the vision was excruciating.

Everything was destroyed, crumpled, and folded. The bed was in pieces and the furniture too. Everything that wasn't made of wood was bent and I had a feeling this guy was going to destroy this room soon too, its walls are cracking.

I swallowed.

" I am in… "

I announced my entry while Rayan wasn't looking at me.

" What do you want? I'm not in the mood to listen to sermons."

Give me a bat and I'll blow that brat's head off. I pulled myself together before sighing.

" I understand that people often get angry with their parents. I did it once, it was the day mine died."

I saw Rayan tense up and I continued.

" Changes are often difficult to accept. We get angry, we are lost, and we don't know what or who to believe. It's all the more difficult when we're alone, but when we have people around us, it goes better."

"Was this your case?"

I sighed at Rayan's question.

" Yes, I was alone and abandoned. I blamed myself, especially for what I had to say to my mother. But then, I had to live with this guilt all my life because I can no longer ask for forgiveness."

I finished talking as Rayan went to sit down.

"I do not want her to be abused by this man. His relationship to the Shield of Rain, his affinity to this man who is the son of the scum who killed my aunt... I just can't stand it. Of all men, why him? And they've known each other since way before Dad... I'm so mad at all of this…"

" I understand you. But don't you think that the one who suffers the most is your mother? It was about her younger sister, she has more reason to hate the Shield of Rain and anyone connected with them…"

I stopped it before swallowing

** especially me who is the daughter of the woman for whom these misfortunes happened **

" ... But she decided to give herself a chance. Far from anger, hatred, and revenge, she wanted to believe in this man. I'm not asking you to trust Tom but trust your mother's judgment. You know she is very insightful…"

Rayan sighed before turning to me and smiling at me.

"Thank you for these words. I was odious with my mother, it's a bit of the reason for my state. I behaved like a dirty kid…"

** To say the least,** I thought.

"And above all, I was odious with Pam... I'm ashamed to face them now."

I chuckled before standing up.

" Well, I don't know how they will make you pay for your behavior but it is better to apologize to them."

"It's better. THANKS."

I smiled before walking out of the room with a heavy heart. The sins and resentments of almost 20 years ago are still so present and fresh, I can't imagine the reactions of everyone when the truth about me comes out.

If Greg loves me unconditionally and ignores my ancestry, I'm not sure the others will.

Anyway, I'm crossing my fingers that it doesn't end in tragedy.
