The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 109

Princess Sophia's POV

"Not again," I muttered under my breath as I caught a glimpse of Ivan walking into my cell with something in his hands.

As usual, I suspected it to be food as he was always fond of bringing that to my cell. It was a gesture that I very much appreciated. What I didn't appreciate were his constant visits as I was beginning to get tired of all of that.

As much as I loved the food as it saved me from a whole lot of problems mostly caused by me, I knew it was his tactic to buy himself a moment or two to talk to me and I despised that fact.

As he slowly walked in with a smile on his face, I felt so tempted to just walk up to him and knock that smile off his face as quickly as possible. But I couldn't. I was restrained by the stupid chains and even if I wasn't, he was too useful to me for something like that to be done. Yet, I craved it so much.

I wondered why he didn't just send a maid or another guard; just anyone else, to get it. It'll have been much easier that way as I wouldn't have to bother about a lot of things.

"You know you could have just sent someone else and saved yourself all the stress," I remarked in a coy manner, as soon as he dropped the food in front of me."You don't always have to do these things yourself, you know."

"I know that, Princess. I'd have done that but I couldn't. I'd even told a maid to get it before calling her back. I just wanted to see you, Princess. I've missed you so much and I just felt the need to be around you."

He paused and looked at my face. He probably wanted to know how I felt and as much as I wanted to hide the disgust that I felt, it was just so hard to do that.

"I heard that the Alpha King and the Luna Queen came to see you here in your cell the other day," he added, after observing my visage. "I also wanted to know what they discussed with you. I was very curious."

I was irked by that statement. "Did he just have to be a busybody?" I asked myself, struggling to find out why he was just so nosy. I just wanted to send him out that very instant as I felt so much anger inside of me.

But on second thought, I knew I had to calm down and take things easy. Treating him badly might have felt so good at that time but the consequences were surely going to be dire. He had been so helpful to me for the past few days; more than anyone else that I could remember and he did things for me with so much gladness in his heart. Although, I didn't know if it got me even more pissed.

I was already on his good side and it was important for me to stay there. Looking at all that he had been doing and the way he always related with me, the only way that I could reciprocate that energy was to just talk to him. That was all he wanted; to see that I enjoyed his company. Even if I didn't, I had to try somehow to pretend that I did. Yet, it got increasingly harder each day.

"Well, they came here to pay me a courtesy visit, in their words. They wanted to know how I was faring in the dungeon that they kept me in," I narrated. "They told me that they were going to banish Mrs Scott from the Pack. I wonder if they've done that already. Then they asked me what punishment I wanted…"

"That's ridiculous!" He interjected.
