The Rejected Luna Queen

Aurora's POV

The Next Day

I sat in the dining room with my family and Sophia as we had our family dinner. It wasn't always that we had dinner together but on that day, my parents thought it was going to be better if we did that so that we can all get a bit more comfortable with each other.

I knew that they were referring to Sophia and me but what they didn't know was that I had no plans of being comfortable with that girl. All I wanted was for her to be relegated to the servant's quarters. I was also certain that she wanted the same. The only thing that happened when we were together was trouble and I was ready for more than that if she so craved it.

"There'll be an upcoming werewolf festival that'll be held in this Pack in the coming days," said my father, breaking the silence that has previously reigned. "It's an annual festival that always happens by this time of the year in any Pack that has been selected. This time, our Pack was chosen to host it and so we must make sure that we don't embarrass ourselves in the presence of the other Pack Alphas and members at large."noveldrama

"Would Alpha Bane's Pack grace the occasion?" Sophia suddenly asked and the second I heard that name, I froze instantly and turned quickly to look at Sophia.

"Most of the Pack Alphas and their people will be present in the festival as it's a highly respectable one amongst all the Packs in the area," my father explained. "However, there are a few times when some Pack Alphas and their members decide to boycott the occasion. It does have consequences unless they have a tangible reason as to why they did that. I wouldn't know if Alpha Bane or his father would grace the occasion as expected."

I was filled with disappointment on hearing those words as I wondered if he was even going to show up. I didn't know if his health had become better already or if he'd love to embark on a journey so soon. I did wish so much that he would.

I was still lost in my thoughts when my mother began to speak and it was only after she had called my name that I became aware of my surroundings.

"Princess Aurora and Princess Sophia," she called out as I frowned a bit in displeasure at Sophia being referred to as Princess. I was the only princess in the Pack. The only child of my parents. "I need you two to start preparing for the festival. By tomorrow, I'll delegate the duties so everyone would know exactly what to do. Is that okay?"

We both nodded and silence returned to the room as each of us resumed our eating.

Alpha Bane's POV

The search for Dylan continued and for days, no one could still tell where it was that he went. I was beginning to get so frustrated about the whole thing and so I thought it best to talk to my father about it.

I went to the throne room, where he already sat, having a few drinks and I stopped right in front of him to greet him. "Greetings, dad," I said to him. "Greetings, my son."

I sat on one of the chairs and proceeded to say what I had in mind. "Dad," I began. "I've been quite bothered about my brother Dylan and our inability to locate him..."

"I can't say it doesn't bother me either, son," he said to me, clasping his hands together.

"I've been wondering what he's up to and I'm sure that he's up to no good at all. That betrayer! I wish I could find him, dad. I want to get my hands on him but it seems like he has disappeared into thin air as no one seems to have seen or heard anything that concerns him. I find that to be quite strange, dad."

"His mother hasn't been herself too, ever since he left the Pack," he revealed, although I couldn't care less about the woman. I didn't like her either. She was a very horrible person to my mother and me. "She seems to be running mad and crazy as she misses her son so much and can't wait to set her eyes on him again."

I hissed. She could've died for all I cared. "She had barely even come to apologise for what her son did," I scoffed, seeing no need to offer any sort of sympathy to her as she too didn't offer any to me, after all, her stupid son did to

me.

"It'll be much better for Dylan to never step foot in the Castle or I'll be forced to slit his throat without mercy. He has bitten more than he can chew and I'm going to stop at nothing to see that he pays dearly for all of his crimes and with his life! Such a coward!"

I was mad and I already imagined laying my hands on the bastard, beating him to

a pulp, despite different attempts to stop me by people and slitting his throat right in front of everyone. I wanted him to die a very shameful death but I didn't want anyone else to take his life.

He was my brother and it was my duty to end him. I was more than happy to do that. No one else had that right. It was mine alone.

"You need to calm down, Alex," my father said to me. "I don't want you to make any rash decisions. Calm down, my son."

It was easy for him to say. Besides, I couldn't blame him for doing that. No father could ever want his son dead. I expected nothing else from him. Besides, Dylan's mother still warmed his bed at night. Such things never allowed men to think with their heads anymore. He said what everyone in his position would say. Sadly, I wasn't in his position and I was never going to change my stance.

"I can't do that, dad," I said to him very bluntly. "It's not possible. What I said, I'll

carry out if given the opportunity. Indeed, I promise you that, dad. I think we should leave that and talk about something else though. Can we?"

"Of course."
