Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 134

*****Erika's POV*****

When Jace spoke those words. It felt like the world came crashing down for a moment as I struggled to understand what he meant.

I spun around to face Jace, my heart pounding in my chest. The anger and confusion that had been simmering inside me finally erupted. "How in the world could you keep something this significant from me?" I demanded, my voice laced with a mix of hurt and frustration.

I could see the guilt flicker across Jace's eyes, but I wasn't about to let him off the hook that easily. Questions tumbled out of my mouth in rapid succession, my words overlapping his feeble attempts to respond.

It was as if a dam had burst inside me, and I couldn't stop the flood of emotions and inquiries that poured out.

"You aren't a Blackwood and you couldn't even tell me about this?!" I shrieked, his earlier words playing in my mind again.

He was a Hart? As in Hart?

How was all these even possible?

"It's the truth, Rika." He still went ahead to reply in a nonchalant tone.

I glared at him feeling betrayed by all these. All my life had been a lie from the start and I was pretty sure father knew of all these.

I grew up with a total stranger, thinking we were siblings born of another mother but shared the same father. I would never believe that we were not a family, we were not siblings, we were both from different mothers and fathers. That explains why father insisted I become Alpha, because he wasn't a Blackwood.

"Alright, that's enough of the drama." We heard Serenity say, rubbing her hands together.

"You both don't see how freezing it is out here and you still want to converse and leave us to die in such cold?" She snorted.

I and Jace watched her carefully, already knowing that what would happen next wouldn't be good.

My gaze shifted to Alex who was slumped over the guard's shoulder.

I had a hunch that the substance was sprayed on him and that was why it had such an effect on him.

"Erika, I will get my revenge on you for killing my brother and I'll also kill your fake brother who destroyed my base, my father's legacy!" I watched her like she had gone nuts.

She called a base filled with Hoodlums, a legacy? Serenity was definitely not alright.

"Seren…."

"Shut up." She cut me short and before I could say one more word, Serenity pulled out a gun, one that would most definitely have a silver bullet.

"I'll send you both straight to meet your dad, oh wait…. He is not your father, Jace, And he isn't dead either."

I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist.

I was ready to snap if she kept spewing those words. Her guard lurked nearby as I sat on the freezing ground, while Jace knelt beside me.

"Back off." She aimed the gun at Jace, her voice demanding. I urged him to step away, and he complied. But then, in a flash, someone bolted towards Serenity, attempting to wrestle the gun from her grasp.
