The Rejected Luna Queen

Alpha Bane's POV

"Look everywhere," I yelled at my men. "If you find him, don't engage. Leave him to me. Let me know quickly."

I searched every nook and cranny in the Pack, hoping to find Dylan. I was so sure that he was in the Pack, I just needed to find where he hid exactly.

My men had already apprehended Sophia and she was safely in their custody as they waited for the war to be over so that I'll know exactly what to do with her.

As the men went forth in search of Dylan, I recalled all that had happened in the past few days. I remembered how I took a lot of time to plan this attack so that I could ensure that there won't be any form of mistakes.

When I discussed it with Aurora, she was very pleased with it and even gave me her blessings before I left

Everything seemed to be going according to plan as I experienced so much success already. The only thing left was to lay my hands on Dylan and I knew it was only a matter of time before I'd have my wish granted.

I roamed around the Pack, killing any guard that came my way without any remorse. Normally, I'd have had some form of sympathy but I was way past that in my mind. All the pain and suffering that I had been subjected to by Dylan's actions made me a different man.

Suddenly, I spotted a very familiar figure scurrying away and looking to get into a particular room. On a closer look, I noticed that it was Dylan and I knew just what to do.

I felt anger and pain coursing through my veins and I felt my eyes beginning to change their colour. I ran toward him as fast as I could, hoping that I would catch up with him, especially since he hadn't noticed my presence.

Before he could notice, I was already very close to him and there was barely anything else he could do except try to run a bit faster.

I was faster than he was, which added to the added surge of energy that I felt as a result of the anger in me. I caught you with him and tackled him just as he got into the room forcing him to fall to the ground.

I entered the room too and locked the door, leaving just the both of us in the room.

I licked my lips, like a predator with his prey, smiling broadly as I finally got my chance to deal with Dylan mercilessly.

He was shocked. I could see it written all over his face. His entire body shook tremulously as he knew that his end was near.

However, in a moment of defiance, Dylan narrowed his brows and took out his sword, putting it out in front of me.

I wasn't scared one bit as I knew that I had the upper hand in that situation. I took out my sword too as we circled each other, with each person seeking to outmanoeuvre the other.

I moved around very cautiously, looking deeply into Dylan's eyes so I wouldn't be taken unawares by any of his moves. Seeing what he had done in kidnapping my child, I was also on the lookout for any underhanded tactics, since he was capable of that, unlike the Dylan that I used to know.

"What did I do to you?" I asked Dylan with a chuckle. "What made you hate me to the extent of taking my child away from me?"noveldrama

"Damn you!" He cursed, spitting to the ground. "You can't feign any innocence, brother. You took my rightful place on the throne."

I just laughed but he wasn't even done yet. "I've always been jealous of you, Alex. Yet, I had the love of our father. It was the one thing that I knew that I had over you. That was why I couldn't take it when our father decided to transfer all of his affection to you alone. It was so unfair and did nothing but intensify the hate that I have for you; the very reason why I have no choice but to take your life."

I was angered by those words and it was all I needed to hear to make me more comfortable about fighting to the death with my brother.

He dashed toward me, swinging his knife but I sidestepped him and attempted to trip him.

He jumped, evading my attempt to floor him, but I managed to hit him on the back of the head with the handle of my sword.

"Does it feel good?" I asked him, looking to rile him up and it worked out.

He charged at me once again in fury and thrust his sword forward but I moved to

my left to evade his attack, further making him angrier.

"What is it, Dylan? Does it feel like you can't touch me, boy?"

This time I charged toward him feigning an attack with my sword but delivering a kick to his ribs instead, forcing him to lose his balance a little.

It was the opening that I needed as I slashed his knee with my sword as he screamed and fell to the floor. "Regardless of all the hatred you claimed to have for me," I said to him, walking over to where he was and kicking his sword away from his hand. "You should never have kidnapped my child. Why didn't you come for me instead? That child was innocent, yet, in your cruelty, you chose to make him a scapegoat."

"It wasn't my plan, Alex. I swear, it wasn't my idea," Dylan confessed. "It was Sophia who brought it all up. She was the one who orchestrated the kidnapping. It had nothing to do with me."

I already knew that was the case. I knew it had to be someone else with that idea as Dylan didn't think that way. Nevertheless, he was open to the suggestion and eventually carried it out so he was just as guilty.

"Please, forgive me, my brother," he begged, seeing that he was on the verge of death. "I'm so sorry for all that I have done to you in the past. It was just jealousy clouding my thinking. I'm sorry, Alex. Remember that you're my brother; my blood. What would father say if he heard that I died by your sword? Please..."

My anger knew no bounds and from the way that I felt, my eyes had already turned red. There was no going back anymore for me and even if I wanted to, it was going to be too much of a risk keeping someone who hated me that much.

"Our father has already given me the go-ahead to kill you. Don't worry about what he's going to think..."

With that, I slit his throat with my sword and watched blood splurt out onto the floor as he placed his hands on his neck in a last attempt to save himself from dying.

It was of no use. His time had come and there was no running away from it.

"Ahh!" I yelled as I let my bloodied sword drop to the ground while watching the blood of my brother spill.
