The Rejected Luna Queen

Princess Sophia's POV

Some Days Later in The Silver Moon Pack

After a few days in the Pack, I felt uncomfortable already. There was no place that

I set my foot in that I wasn't being gawked at by the people around.

Even the guards and the maids weren't left out in the attempt to humiliate me. Everyone seemed to act so weird around me and there could have only been one explanation for that.

The rumours had spread so fast like wildfire and just as they got to my parents, causing them to come to the Blue Moon Pack, it had gotten to everyone else.

Just about three days before, I overheard one of the maids telling another maid how I cheated Alpha Bane and was disgracefully sent back to this Pack. She even went further to add that I wasn't the real daughter of Alpha and Luna.

"Then why should we still give her any respect?" I heard the other maid say to her with a very disdainful look on her face. "She's an embarrassment to the Royal family and the Pack at large. She doesn't deserve any respect."

"She did return with the Alpha and the Luna of the Pack and so we ought to treat her that way for now. But once they finally denounce her, we'd have no choice but to treat her accordingly. Not like it'll be tough for us to do that. I've been waiting for this all my life."

Those words stung my heart and I wanted nothing else but to land a few right hands on their cheeks for good measure, but I knew it would only serve to make things worse, so I just walked past them.

I didn't let it affect me so much. They didn't matter to me at all .I still lived in the Castle and my parents didn't reject me nor show any signs of that. They embraced me with open arms, as their daughter and that was all that mattered to me.

I had my maids who had no choice but to do as I pleased and I had all the luxuries that I used to have before I left for the Blue Moon Pack. It was as if nothing happened at all and I had my parents to thank for it. It was only a matter of time before the other ones would come around. I had to make sure of that. It was exactly why I wanted to get back.noveldrama

I had a plan. It was one that I needed to carry out very effectively and I stepped out of my room, dressed in a simple brown-coloured gown. I was intent on making sure it was successful.

"Hey, take me to the dungeon. I need to see Mrs Scott," I ordered a maid, but she didn't look at all pleased with my instruction.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the Alpha warned that no one was to visit her without his permission..."

"Shut up and take me there or you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" I yelled at her, forcing her to bow and lead the way.

As we got to the smelly dungeon, I scrunched my face up in disgust but then I had to stay composed and act very cool. We walked for a while until we finally located my mother's cell. Then I motioned to the maid to wait outside.

My mother looked so horrifying. She was bruised, tattered and also looked a bit tired and I felt no pity for her.

I walked in there and went right in front of her, looking at her from head to toe "You deserve this and everything else that'll come your way, woman," I said to her which caused her to look at me with shock.

"Please, my child. Help me. Do something. I need to get out of here," she begged shamelessly

"I'll never acknowledge you as my mother, woman. Never call me that in your miserable life!" I spat on her. "I came here to save you from your sufferings, but perhaps not like you'd have wanted."

"Anything, Princess...Anything."

"Well, you'd have to poison yourself with a substance that I'll bring to you very soon."

"What? I can't do that. Why would you want me dead?" She asked.

"So that the rumours will stop spreading! I have to be the Alpha and Luna. I can't afford to stay anywhere else and if you have any love for me, then you'll do that for me."

Her eyes widened in horror as she looked up to me with a sympathetic look. "I can't do that. Please, I can't do that. There has to be another way, Princess."

"There are other ways, Mrs Scott. What I'm offering you is a chance to die a very peaceful death," I told her, reminding her of what her fate was going to be without my help. "I'll have no choice but to talk to my father; the Alpha to execute you by the sword or by hanging and I don't think you want that... Do you?"

"Please, Sophia," she cried and begged. "Don't do this to me. All that I did, I did for your sake. Please, do not let me die. I know that I might not have been the best but I am your mother. Please, don't do this."

I saw tears freely roll down her eyes onto the floor as she kept on pleading. It didn't matter to me. They all fell on deaf ears. My mind was already made up and there was nothing that she or anyone else could do to change that.

Whatsoever she was facing, she brought upon herself, even if I was the reason why. If she didn't switch me, I'd have had no desire to be the Princess. I had no choice but to maintain the status that she gave to me at all costs. Even at the cost of her miserable life.

"I'll be back soon," I said to her as I began to walk away. "I'll be back with the poison that you're to take. You should make peace with yourself. You need that."

I left the dungeon, laughing wickedly..
