The Rejected Luna Queen

Aurora's POV

"I can't sleep, mom. I don't know what is going on," I complained to my mother as

I rolled around on the bed, failing to find sleep.

I kept thinking about Alpha Bane as I prayed in my heart that he was alright. I couldn't help but explore the possibility of him not returning to me, especially when he had Dylan and Sophia as adversaries. I had learned by experience how not to underestimate those two.

"I need you to take a deep breath," said my mom to me with a concerned look on his face. "Please calm down, my darling. He'll be back safely."

She was always going to say that. I didn't expect her to just say that my husband wouldn't make it back home. I could never calm down unless I saw him return to the Pack with my eyes. Only then was I going to be calm.

I prayed in my heart for him to be safe, hoping that the goddess was going to smile at me this time. She wasn't always fond of doing that but I hoped for a difference that one time.

Suddenly, two maids barged into my room and I gasped in surprise, wondering why they couldn't even knock.

"It's Alpha Bane," the maid screamed in delight. "He just arrived. He's in the Pack now with the warriors. They won the fight!"

I quickly stood up, very delighted with what I just heard. My heart calmed down as all the fears that I previously held onto got deflated.

If he was back, it could only mean two things... He fought the war and won or Dylan and Sophia weren't there at all. I needed to see for myself.

As I tried to get out of bed, I heard the chants of the warriors and I was even more convinced that the maids were telling the truth. Not like they could have lied about something like that. They'd have paid dearly for it as my mom was never one to let things like that slide, even if I was.

Those chants got my heart all warmed up. I could tell that he was back and I had to find my way to him as soon as possible. "You should wait here for him, Aurora. He'll certainly find his way to you."

She didn't want me stressing myself or walking around and I could understand why. Yet, I wanted exactly that. I needed to find Alpha Bane; to make sure that he was in one piece and I wasn't going to stay back and wait.

I left the bed and before my mom could stop me, I fled from my chambers, racing quickly out of the Castle until I could spot them. I smiled as they approached. I could feel the delight in their voices. I was delighted too and I wanted to see Alpha Bane.

I looked amidst the warriors to see if I could find him. At first, I didn't, so I let them come closer before fixing my gaze on them once again to find Alpha Bane.

This time, I found some success. I spotted him amid the warriors, with a smile on his face. I was so happy.

Even though it was already night, the fire torched around, lighting up the environment and I could see how battered and bloodied he looked.

My heart broke to see him that way and I immediately began to sob. He had to go through all of that, not only for himself but also for our son and me.

Just as I began to walk toward him, he spotted me and our eyes locked.

Alpha Bane's POV

I felt pain all over my body as the wounds on my body took their toll on me. I let out a smile, despite the pain that I felt. The victory that we got was worth more than a thousand strokes. It was worth more than any pain that I could have felt physically.

As I approached the entrance of the Castle, having a weary look from the tiredness that came as a result of the war that I just fought, I saw Aurora staring at

me.

The sight of her brought some kind of peace to me. I was so delighted to see her. I was proud too. I assured her that I was going to return successfully and I did just that.

I smiled at her, very delighted to see her, especially since I had fulfilled the

promise that I made to her. She hadn't seen me yet, so I took a few steps forward so that she would.

She spotted me and immediately started running toward me as everyone else made way for us. They dared not stand in her way as I would have ensured that the person; whomever it might have been, would have lived to regret that decision.

She got to where I was and I hugged her so happily. "I'm back, baby!" I said to her, still holding her tightly as she sobbed in my arms.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, taking a good look at me, probably to see if I sustained any major injuries. "Do you feel so much pain?"

"I'm fine, my love," I said to her. I didn't want her to get all worked up or worry too much. I just wanted her to rest, knowing that everything was alright, just like we wanted it to be; just like I promised her that it was going to be.

She held my hands and I bent low and kissed her on the forehead first before drawing back and staring into her eyes.noveldrama

Then, she pulled me in and planted her lips on hers. I kissed her back and we fought for supremacy, with our tongues circling in a quick motion. I was in a different world in my head.

I held the back of her head for support as I never wanted the kiss to end, but she quickly realised that we were outside and broke the kiss quickly so that we wouldn't create a bigger scene.

I looked around to see the guards and maids who were present there, turning their heads away very quickly as they pretended to not have paid attention to what we were going through. We all knew that was a lie.

Aurora grabbed my hand and we walked toward the Castle where everyone was waiting for us. As we got inside, I bowed in front of my father and the other warriors who were with me did the same too.
