ALWAYS THE LUNA

Chapter11

ADRIAN

“Adrian, you haven't been giving me any attention. I feel sad and lonely,” Sarah says sadly. I feel guilty for treating her this way, but there's nothing I can do. I'm not over Ada yet.

“I'm just tired and I've been busy.”

“Because of Ada?” She sighs and sits on my desk and leans close to me. Strangely, her closeness irritates me. “You have every right to be worried about her. She was your ex wife and mate. Despite what she did, you shared a bond with her. So it's normal to be worried about her. I'm also worried about her. I know that she hurt me in the past, but she's still my cousin. I grew up with her. I want her to be safe. My parents too are worried.”

I really don't know why Ada chose to be selfish. How can she disappear, making those that care about her worry. I can't believe that I'm in love with a woman like her and despite everything she did, I'm still holding onto that love.

“I really don't want anything bad to happen to her,” Sarah mumbles as a tear drops down her cheeks. She's such a pure soul. Despite everything that Ada did to her, she still loves her. That's why I don't believe that she lied to me. She has no reason to lie to me. I've known her for years. She has always had a pure and innocent soul.

“I will find her. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to her.”

“What if…..” She pauses and bites her lower lips. “What if she ran away with her lover? I mean no one knows where she is. There's no trace of her at all.”

I've thought of that but I still don't want to believe it even though there is a possibility it could be true. She was so quick to take all the money and disappear leaving no trail behind. She moved on so fast because she left to be with her lover.

Why does this hurt so much? How could she do this to me despite everything I've done for her. Was I that easy to discard?

I never knew that I would one day fall stupidly in love with Ada to even keep a blind eye to the truth. I know she cheated. I know she hurt Sarah. I know all the bad things she did, but I still want her.

When I woke up in bed with Ada after that drunken night, I was angry. Not at her but at myself for cheating on Sarah. I loved Sarah. I really did, but after I was forced to marry Ada, something started changing. That feeling was there even before I found out that she was my mate but I ignored it. I treated her coldly. I hate her for making me have those feelings for her. I felt like I was betraying Sarah. She was the one I should love and not Ada.

But when we lost our baby, I couldn't bring myself to act cold towards her. She was broken and I was there for her. I realized that I had fallen for her. I hated it but I had no choice. Even now despite knowing what she had done. I still love her. Isn't that pathetic?

Could the person who threatens Ada's life be her lover? He knows that if it's my own life, I won't care but if it's Ada’s life, I will do what he wants because I won't let anything happen to her. He wants me to divorce Ada so that he will be with her. If it's true, was Ada part of the scheme.

No, that can't be possible. She won't go to that extent, right?,

“Do you even hear what I said?” Sarah touches my cheeks, bringing me out of my thoughts.

“Please leave, Sarah. I want to be alone,” I say as I gently push her hand away. I can see the hurt in her eyes but I can't bring myself to care. I'm also in pain right now.

“Don't shut me out Adrian. I know you are hurting but you need to let go. Ada left you for another man. It's time to forget about her and move on.” She tries to get close to me again, but I push her away.

“Just leave, Sarah.” My voice is stoic. She notices that I'm serious. She sighs and stands up.

“Just know that I will always be here for you Adrian,” she says before leaving.

I sigh as I run my palm through my face in frustration. Why can't I just forget about Ada and go back to loving Sarah. Maybe it's because I need to hear the truth from her mouth so that I will finally be convinced that she cheated on me. But at the same time, I'm scared to hear it from her. I don't know if I will be able to bear the pain.

I've searched all the surrounding packs and I'm extending my search to other packs. But what if she's not in any pack? I mean, no pack will accept her without knowing her true identity and contacting her previous pack.

Maybe she hid her identity but the fact remains that they will definitely want to know the pack she came from and they will definitely contact her previous pack to know why she's no longer part of them.

She won't take that risk and that leaves me with another option. Human cities. Yes, Human cities. Why didn't I think about that?

But living among humans is dangerous. She could be killed by hunters.

Oh no. I need to find her as soon as possible. Her life is definitely in danger.

Is she living there with her lover and her grandma?

I don't even know the person she cheated on me with but it must be an Alpha. I don't think she will cheat on me with a low life. It will be better if she's with whoever this Alpha is than living among humans. It will be safer.

If her lover is an Alpha. She can easily be part of his pack without him contacting her previous pack.

There's two possibilities. Maybe she's with her lover who is an Alpha and she's living in his pack with him or she's living among humans. I will look for her in Human cities, but I won't stop looking for her in different packs either.
