The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 112

Princess Sophia's POV

I lay down with my eyes shut for a while, yet, I was unable to sleep. I couldn't explain why I was so uneasy. It was as if something was going to happen. Good or bad, I couldn't tell, but I knew something was about to happen. At least, that was how I felt.

I sat up and listened to the crickets who sang aloud with reckless abandon, caring less about who was craving for sleep, and the hand they had in preventing that.

I did love their crooked voices. They reminded me that things were never how they seemed. The nights were always presumed to be silent since most people would have already slept. Yet, it wasn't. It was just as noisy as the day all thanks to the crickets. We just felt it was quiet because we usually fell asleep before they'd begin to sing their songs and the dream maker held every one of us bound in the sleeping world so we wouldn't get to wake up.

I turned to look at the cell door when I heard a sound, but there was no one there. The sound was a very faint one so I wondered if it was real or if it was just in my head.

I stayed still for a while, trying to see if I could hear any sound again but I didn't. "What's with my thoughts?" I asked myself, wondering why my thoughts always seemed so real to me.

I decided to lay back down to see if I could finally get some sleep but just as my back touched the ground, I heard another sound and quickly sprang up.

I felt my body begin to quiver as I wondered what was going on. I felt deep down that perhaps, my end was near. Maybe, a few guards had been sent by my parents to stealthily get rid of me so they wouldn't have to make the pronouncement while staring me in the eyes. I always knew they were out to get rid of me.

I began to mutter a few words within myself, not knowing what else to do. I thought about screaming but I imagined it was going to be of no use since they had the permission of the Alpha King and Queen of the Pack. So I just resigned to my fate.

A few minutes passed, yet there was no sign of anyone and the fear in me only increased more. I felt sweat drop from my face onto the floor as I waited anxiously for something I wasn't even sure of.

Suddenly the door of the cell slowly opened and it dawned on me that I wasn't out of my mind. I was right all along. People were trying to get into my cell and they had somehow managed to open the door despite all the other guards that should have ensured that it never happened.

It was no visiting time. From the way that everywhere looked, I could swear it was midnight. So I knew that anyone who was in there came for something more than just a courtesy visit. I had to look to see who it was.

A hefty man stepped in first, and then two other men walked in behind me, as they walked straight to where I was. I noticed another person walking into the cell too and it looked like he was the one who opened the door for them.

As they got closer, I had a clearer view of who they were. The frontman was Danny, the spy who Dylan had sent to talk to me about the plan to break me out and the man who opened the door for them was Ivan.

Dylan was serious about his claims. They were there to rescue me. I had some hope that they were going to arrive but I never imagined that it was going to be that soon. But I was delighted; very delighted.
