The Rejected Luna Queen

Alpha Bane's POV

The Next Day

I still felt a bit drowsy as I sat in the palace, alongside my father and the elders for

a very crucial meeting which I had called immediately after I returned.

I was unable to get good sleep. I wondered who it was that orchestrated the attack against me. I didn't have so many enemies. I didn't even have any enemy that I could think of. I also didn't know what it was that I could have done to warrant such an attack from someone. It wasn't just any kind of attack; they were out to take my life.

Something else that got me intrigued was that they knew exactly where I was going and lay in wait for us. It wasn't a surprise attack by any means. It was a planned, strategic attack and it took us unawares. I was so sure that anyone who did that was someone on the inside; perhaps, one of the elders who might have had a certain dislike for me due to reasons best known to him. I couldn't think of anything else.

"Welcome, elders of the Blue Moon Pack," my father said loudly as the entire eldership stood from their seats and bowed a little to show their respects before sitting back down.

He cleared his throat before going on. "We all are aware of the incident that brought us together. Yet, I think it's important that I state it anyway. My son, Alpha Alex Bane, was on his way to an occasion after our last meeting but he wasn't able to get to his destination. He and our warriors were ambushed and attacked by an assassin and his group of miscreants who thought they were strong enough to kill my son. Today, he's here, right in front of us, hale and hearty, but that doesn't mean we would let it slide. Shall we let the one who has touched the tail of a tiger go scot-free?"

"Never, my Alpha!" They screamed at the top of their voices. Some with so much passion and anguish possibly for what happened, the others in a lethargic manner probably because they didn't mean it.

"So we have gathered here, not just to point out an obvious problem, but to get a solution for it. Does anyone have anything to say?"

One of the men stood and my father sat back down, so he could hear what the man or anyone else had to say. I watched on without saying a word.

"You have spoken well, my Alpha," he began. "I must say that the enemy is not far away from us at all. I suggest that we consult the priestess of the moon. Surely, she'll have the answer to the questions in our hearts."

"That's a brilliant suggestion," another elder said, getting up to make his point. "I'd love to ask a question. Alpha Alex, were you able to identify any of the assailants during the fight?"

"No," I answered. "They all wore masks. None of them showed their faces."

The talk went on for about an hour, with none able to bring forth a solution that was acceptable to everyone else. The more it lingered, the more I got annoyed. I wanted to get my hands on whoever it was that tried to kill me. I needed to give him a piece of his own medicine.

"I already have a few men investigating the issue and I know that in a short while, they'll be back with answers," I disclosed. "Yet, we must all play our part in this matter. Anyone who gets any valuable information should not hesitate to reach out to me."

They all nodded.

Then it occurred to me that I didn't ask Aurora why she followed me to that location in the first place. I had forgotten about that after tending to her wounds. How could I?

I felt she must have known about the attack. Perhaps, she was there to warn me not to go there. As I kept thinking about it, I had a very bad feeling about the whole thing.

By the time I regained myself after thinking for a while, I heard my dad end his closing remarks, signifying the end of the meeting. "Thank you so much, elders, for being here. You honour me."

I waved at them and they walked away, one after the other as my father walked across to me, probably looking to hold a conversation with me. I didn't want that. I had to find Aurora.

"I'm sorry, father. I need to be somewhere else right now. I want to meet Aurora so I can hear her side of the story. That's if you would permit me to do so, father "

He smiled and gave me a pat on the back. It was all I needed.

I walked away from the palace and into the corridor, praying in my heart that Aurora hadn't left the Castle already. She had already hinted that the previous day and so I had to increase my pace to stand a chance of seeing her.noveldrama

However, as I proceeded down the passageway, I began to notice a scent; a familiar scent. It was Sophia's. I was so sure about it, even though there was something wrong with it.

My wolf kept kicking and pestering me to find out what was going on and I tried to ignore it. Yet, it persisted and wouldn't let me rest no matter how much I tried to. I had no choice.

I followed the scent, abandoning all thoughts about seeing Aurora and it led me right in front of a room; Sophia's room and there, I was met with something shocking.

I heard moans as I got close to the room. The closer I got, the louder it got and I also noticed that there was no guard around, which was quite strange.

I put my ear close to the door, just to be sure that I was hearing right because I wasn't inside the room and so Sophia had no business moaning. I was right and whatever it was that was going on there, she seemed to be enjoying it so much.

I pushed the door open and my mouth was left ajar. My brother, Dylan, was on top

of my mate, Sophia, and they were having some great sex! They turned around, startled on seeing me and Sophia quickly grabbed a dress to cover herself

I couldn't control my thoughts as I felt so betrayed by both of them. I didn't know exactly what to do.

Princess Sophia's POV

On hearing the sound of my door suddenly being pushed open, I got startled and I immediately turned around and grabbed my clothes to cover myself. I didn't know who it was that was foolish enough to open my door without knocking and I decided in my heart that I was going to punish that idiot, regardless of who it was.

I had thought that it was going to be a maid but I was met by a very familiar face which I never expected.

Alpha Bane...

How on Earth was he there? I was told that he left for the neighbouring Pack and I didn't think he'd be back so quickly. I turned to Dylan who looked like he had seen a ghost. Indeed, we both felt like we had seen a ghost.

I didn't know what to do next. I didn't know if I was supposed to run out of bed or

try to explain myself to him and before I could even open my mouth, he dashed toward Dylan and pounced on him without saying a word to him.

He hit him multiple times on the face swinging wildly with both hands as Dylan tried in vain to cover up. I could see Dylan's ears reddening as he kept getting hit and I saw him scramble in search of an opportunity to escape but Alpha Bane gave him no such space.

He was relentless in his attacks, alternatively using his elbows to smash Dylan's nose, as he screamed aloud. His eyes were so red and I could see the anger in them. He was a beast unleashed and I wondered what was going to be my fate once he got done with Dylan.

"Ahhhhh!" I screamed as loudly as I could, covering my ears with my palms and hoping that someone was going to come in and somehow put the chaos to a halt.
