Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back
Arrested
Aurora’s POV
The strength left my legs completely, and I collapsed onto the floor was still in shock, unable to fucking believe that the man I loved would treat me so cruelly because of that bitch.
I’d seen Sebastian’s cold, ruthless side before. It wasn’t as intense as now, but that aura was still intimidating. I used to find it attractive. But I never imagined I’d be on the receiving end of his fury one day.
My scalp throbbed from where he’d yanked my hair. My jaw and throat ached like hell.
He was so cold, so cruel. Those green eyes that once held love for me showed nothing but hatred and disgust today.
In his eyes, I’d seen death, and I knew with absolute certainty that if he’d wanted to, I would have disappeared from this world in seconds.
I tried to make sense of what went wrong, but nothing made sense anymore.
Sebastian hated me, wanted nothing to do with me. Roman had distanced himself, also wanting nothing to do with me. I once had them both wrapped around my finger, and now I had nothing.
“Aurora, what the hell were you thinking?” Roman shouted at me. “I told you to stay away from Thea and Sebastian. I told you that man has fallen in love with Thea and wants nothing to do with you anymore. So why the fuck would you corner Thea in a bathroom?”
His words barely registered. I was still caught up in the reality that Sebastian would hurt me, would choose that worthless bitch
over me.
My heart was in agony. It felt like my soul had been destroyed. It was too fucking painful to bear. I never thought this day would come–the day Sebastian would choose Thea over me.
“Aurora?” Roman called out, but I just continued to stare blankly ahead, tears rolling down my cheeks.
“He doesn’t love me anymore,” I whispered, the truth I’d been avoiding finally sinking in. “If he loved me, he wouldn’t hurt me. He wouldn’t choose Thea over me.”
What did she have that I didn’t? How could she win Sebastian’s heart? He used to despise her, could barely tolerate her existence. But now, he protected her like she was the most precious thing in the world.
I just couldn’t understand how things had turned out this way. How was it possible that I came back full of hope and lost everything?
Roman pulled me up by my armpits and sat me down on the sofa.
“This is what I’ve been trying to tell you,” he sighed in frustration. “But you haven’t been willing to hear a single word I said.”
“But how? How could he fall in love with Thea, that useless wolfless? How could he hurt me? He used to see me as his one and only, didn’t he?” I fired questions one after another.
I was so confused, feeling conflicted about everything.
“Yes, he did love you, but what you two had was just young love. I believe his true, eternal love is Thea. I think his love for Thea might be deeper than what he felt for you. That’s why he was so harsh with you.”

Those words were like claws digging into my heart. I gasped from the pain, and I swear I could physically feel it.
My heart shattered again. I couldn’t stop it, couldn’t slow it down, couldn’t make it better. Like I was losing Sebastian all over again, but worse because he genuinely wanted her. He loved her.
Love. The word left a bitter taste in my mouth. All that time, all that effort, and for what? I still lost to Thea. Still lost the one thing that mattered most to me.
“Aurora?” Roman’s voice carried concern.
“What can I do? What should I do?” I asked, not directing the question at anyone in particular.
“There’s nothing you can do… make a decision that’s good for you and let go. You and him aren’t happening anymore. If you keep pushing, you’ll only break your heart even more.”
This wasn’t the answer I wanted to hear. But I couldn’t help wondering if he was right, Was it really time to give up on Sebastian? Had his love for me truly disappeared completely? Was there really none left?
“Why were you with Callista in the first place?” Roman interrupted my thoughts. “I thought you’d cut ties with her.”
I turned to my brother, letting his question sink in. It felt like all the life force had been drained from me, like the fight in me had been extinguished.
“She said she wanted to apologize, to fix our relationship,” I answered numbly.
Why did I feel so lost? Like I was floating in a dark abyss with nothing to anchor me.
“And you believed her?”
“Yes,” I answered simply. “She seemed sorry.”
“If I were you, I wouldn’t trust her, Aurora. Callista has always been crazy. Stay away from her.”
Just as I was about to respond, the doorbell rang. Roman gave me one last look before getting up to answer the door.
“What the fuck is going on?” I heard him shout, but I didn’t move from my spot. Not when I felt like I was dying inside.
Only when a pair of unfamiliar boots appeared in front of me did I look up.
“Miss Aurora Sterling?”
I nodded in confusion at the two people clearly wearing police department uniforms standing before me.
“You’re under arrest for the assault of Thea Sterling.”
I just stared at them emotionlessly, letting them grab me and put silver handcuffs on me, Roman tried to stop them, but ignored him–the police department was never influenced by any Pack power. They took me away.
I knew it wasn’t Thea who filed the report, since she was still in the hospital. So this was Sebastian’s doing. It couldn’t be anyone
else.
As they roughly shoved me into the police car, I couldn’t help but blame myself.
I should have stayed home instead of agreeing to meet Callista.
