The Rejected Luna Queen

Aurora's POV

The carriage kept moving for several minutes and it looked like we would never reach there. I brought my head out a bit to see if I could recognize where we were but I couldn't. I wondered how long it was going to get to wherever we were going.

Suddenly, the carriage lurched to a stop and I heard the horses neighing about. My hands began to tremble as I was thrown into panic. Something was wrong and I knew it. Rose did too. She did her best to keep me calm.

I had a very bad feeling deep inside of me. I had to find out what exactly was going on and I couldn't do it from inside the carriage. Yet, I was scared of leaving there, to avoid being caught up with whatever it was that was going on.

My curiosity got the better of me, and I tried to leave the carriage. But I was halted by sounds if war. There were loud noises and screams from the men as they looked to be fighting amongst themselves. Then I heard the dreaded sound of gunshots and knives clanging against each other. I heard the sound of fallen men, as they screamed in agony. Going out didn't seem a great prospect anymore.

As much as I wanted desperately to save Alpha Bane's life, I didn't sign up to die. My aim was to tell him what Dylan had in store for him so he could escape. I never knew that I'd find myself at the scene.

As I kept contemplating, I felt a force out me out from nowhere and I couldn't understand it at first. Then, I tried to resist but it still forced me to move, this time throwing me to the ground as I hit my hands on the ground and cursed aloud.

It was Rose. It had to be her. She just couldn't stay away from the fight. "Don't do this, Rose," I muttered under my breath, but she wouldn't listen.

The noise continued and it looked like there wasn't going to be an end to ug. I looked up to see masked men all around, in heated combat with Alpha Bane's men. They looked to be having the upper hand as Alpha Bane's men were taken unawares by their ambush. Yet, they fought with all the strength they could muster.

I walked around a little bit, as I tried to look for Alpha Bane. The men paid no attention to me. They were all so engrossed in the fighting, with each man intent on destroying the other.

Yet, I remained afraid, taking note of each man that I walked past just to be sure that I was safe. Then, I saw him, fighting with a masked man who seemed to be very skilled.

Alpha Bane was known for his superior fighting skills. No one could match him in a one-on-one combat in the Pack. But this was different. It wasn't a fair fight. It was an ambush set up by cowards who couldn't manage to fight him face to face. Yet, it was a fight that he had to win as his life depended on it.

As they kept on fighting, I noticed that the man wasn't just trying to kill him. Instead, he kept pressing with so much aggression as he looked to push Alpha Bane backwards by all means.

That was when I remembered what Dylan had said to his friend. Behind Alpha Bane was a cliff; the very cliff that Dylan told his friend that he was going to push Alpha Bane off. Alpha Bane had no idea what was going on. I had to stop the masked man.

I ran toward him as fast as I can, not minding how tattered I looked or the fight that was going on without me. I just wanted to save Alpha Bane at all costs.

As I drew closer, I saw the masked man try to push Alpha Bane off the cliff. "Noooo!" I screamed, still running so fast, even though I knew it was almost impossible for me to stop him.

Then Alpha Bane turned to me and we locked eyes. He staggered a bit, but he didn't fall off as he did his best to regain composure.

Alpha Bane's POV

As I locked hands with my assailant, I tried my hardest to push him back but my hands got weaker and weaker with each passing time. Then I heard a familiar voice. "Noooo!" It screamed and instantly, my wolf howled from within me as I fixed my gaze on Aurora; the maid who claimed to be my one true mate, and she gazed intently into my eyes too.

I was shocked and I wondered what on Earth she was doing there. How was she even able to leave the Castle without being spotted by any of the guards?

My assailant also turned to look at her as we both saw her running so quickly toward us. Then he turned around quickly and I felt a fist on my face, forcing me to let go of our hold to place my right hand on my face. It was an opening that he relished.noveldrama

He pushed me one more time; this time, without any form of resistance from me as I got a little bit distracted and it worked out for him. He had the advantage and no matter how hard I fought to push him back, I knew it was only a matter of time.

As he kept pushing, I felt something give way from underneath me and I turned to see what it was. I was at the edge of the cliff. I thought about all that was going on and realized that my assailant had it all planned out and I played into his hands.

"Damn it!" I cursed aloud, before looking up at the shock of my life. Aurora was by my side and my assailant had mysteriously fallen to the floor, although he kept swinging the sword at us for reasons only he, could say.

"What happened here?" I asked myself, struggling to wrap my head around what exactly went on. Whatever happened was in the twinkle of an eye and I had never seen such a thing in my life.

Our eyes locked again; Aurora and I, as she grabbed me, doing all she could to save me from the impending doom that stared me in the face.

She pulled and pulled with all the strength that she could muster and suddenly, it seemed like we were making some progress. "Hang on, my Alpha. I'll save you." Those were Aurora's words to me and it seemed to trigger something inside of

me.

I did as I was told, hanging on with all that was in me, in hope that I was going to be rescued. Her efforts were abortive, and it was all in vain as all of our efforts were made of no effect.

The stone gave way and we both lost our balance and fell off the cliff. Then, I heard a very loud shout from Aurora. It was the last thing I heard.
