The Rejected Luna Queen

Dylan's POV

My face was sore and I could feel blood trickling down from my nose as Bane continued to hit me as hard as he could with Sophia screaming for him to stop. He was like a madman unchained. The fury in him was uncontrollable.

It wasn't that he was stronger than I was. I was just taken unawares; coupled with the momentary guilt that I felt on seeing him. But all that didn't matter at the moment. All that mattered was finding a way to leave the room and the Pack altogether.

I grabbed his right hand as he tried to hit me once again, and rolled to my left, evading his attempt to hit me with the other hand. Then I threw two punches in his direction just to distract him a little bit and enable me to find a way to escape.

It worked. He ducked, avoiding my punches but then I pushed him with both hands with the greatest force I could muster.

He didn't fall as I thought he would, but he moved backwards, creating the perfect opportunity for me and I grabbed it with both hands.noveldrama

I went straight for the door without looking back at all and immediately opened the door. He dived and held onto my leg in a bid to stop me but I stamped my right foot on his arm, breaking the hold, before running out as fast as I could.

I was half-naked but I didn't care. Of what use was a fully dressed man if he had not his life? None! I dashed toward my room, hopeful that Bane wasn't behind me.

As I ran, I could see some guards and maids gawking at me as if I was mad. If I had my way, I'd have turned around to teach them the lesson of their lives; one that a few of them might not live to tell others. But all those meant nothing at the time. I was intent on getting to my room as my life depended on it.

I knew it wasn't going to be long before Bane would send the guards after me. I never accepted him as the Alpha but I wasn't stupid enough to not recognize that he was. It was only going to take one word for all the guards there to gang up against me. Any plan that I had to make needed to be done with some urgency. I wasn't prepared to die just yet.

As I got to my room, I saw my personal guard, standing right in front of the door. "Why wasn't I told about Bane's arrival to the Pack?" I screamed at him with rage in my eyes before walking into the room. "Shut that door!"

He walked in and closed the door behind me and then proceeded toward me. "I'm so sorry, Sir. I didn't..."

"Get out of this place right now!" I barked at him, unwilling to listen to whatever flimsy excuses that he had to give. "Stand outside the door and make sure no one gets in here until I've gone out. Call Johnny right now and tell him that he should be here this instant. I don't need to tell you how urgent it is, do I? Get to it!"

He bowed, turned around and walked away, shutting the door as soon as he left.

As soon as he left, I began to wonder how Bane managed to survive, talk more of getting back to the Pack so quickly. I was told that he was pushed off the cliff, just like I planned. How on Earth did he manage to survive?

It only meant one thing; I had sent a bunch of incompetent fools in the name of assassins who failed woefully in their job and had the guts to lie to me that they had done the job. I wished I could lay my hands on one of them. I was so livid as they had managed to draw my ire.

My door swung wide open and I gasped, thinking it was Bane. Thankfully, it wasn't. It was Johnny, my friend. He responded to my call very swiftly.

"You should knock before entering my room, shouldn't you?" I asked, wondering why he felt the need to just barge into my room.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disrespect you. I was informed about the urgency of the situation at hand, so I didn't want to waste any more time," he apologised, and I got his point.

"We have failed, Johnny," I said to him. "Bane managed to survive the attack. I need to get out of this place this instant before he'd come for me. That's why I called you. We're going to use that secret pathway that you talked to me about a few months ago."

"Then we have to get going," he said to me, opening the door. "Time is of the essence."

Alpha Bane's POV

For years, I had wondered what went on in the minds of insane people. I wondered how they were able to survive and what it was that made them do the things that they frequently did.

I didn't need to think about that anymore. I was just like them. My brain seemed to have ceased its functions and my emotions got the better of me against my will. I was raving mad and my senses seemed a long distance from my grasp.

"How could you do this to me, Sophia? I trusted you with everything in me!" I felt so badly like hitting her flush across the face but I managed to hold myself back.

"Please, Alpha, I don't know what came over me. I swear to you, I didn't mean to... I just- I can't even tell what happened here, my Alpha. Please forgive me."

She begged and rolled on the floor before me but I wasn't to be moved by all of that. She had betrayed me with my brother. How despicable! If I hadn't found out, she might have gotten pregnant and tagged the son to be mine.

Maybe that was the plan; Dylan's plan. Maybe since he couldn't beat me to become the Alpha, he thought it would be better to have his son as the next Alpha under the guise of being my son. Such wickedness. I couldn't stand being in the same room with the harlot.

"Guards!" I screamed, as eight guards ran into the room immediately. I needed to get to the root of the matter as soon as possible and I knew just how to do that.

"Four of you, go to Dylan's room and drag him to this very room. Don't let him get away. From now, every privilege he has as a Prince has been stripped from him. Move quickly!"

As they left, I turned to the other four guards and pointed to Sophia. "Pick up this slut and take her away to the dungeon where she belongs! Lock her up and make sure there's no way she can escape!"

The men grabbed her and began to drag her away from the room while I watched on. I didn't mind that she was half-naked. As one of the guards turned toward me as if to suggest that fact, I motioned to him to continue moving.

"Please, my Alpha," she kept begging as they dragged her away. "Don't do this to me. I'm so sorry."

The more I heard her apologise, the more I got pissed off. If she was going to be sorry, why did she do it in the first place? How could she expect me to believe that she was sorry for sleeping with my brother in my absence, while I was busy fighting for my life? She must have thought I was a fool.

As they left the room, I couldn't help but turn to the bed where they had sex earlier on. I could barely still believe what I had seen with my own eyes. I spat on the floor in utter disgust, full of regrets for ever having anything to do with both Dylan and more especially, Sophia.

Without thinking twice and unable to wait for the guards that I had sent out earlier, I stormed out of the room and headed straight to Dylan's room so I could get a piece of him myself.
