The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 116

Aurora's POV

The entire place was silent as the night had come upon us at the Blue Moon Pack. Yet, there was no sign of Alpha Bane and I began to get worried.

Since he left me in the morning to attend to some Pack duties as he called them, I hadn't set my eyes on him. He had assured me that he'll likely be back early, as was his new habit, but just like the previous times, he failed to show up.

Yet, this was a bit different. Unlike the other times, he had stayed out too late and it was beginning to bother me. He knew the state that I was in, due to the nightmare that I had some nights ago. It was supposed to be enough to get him to return earlier. Something didn't feel right about all that was happening and I had to find out.

"Anna!" I yelled, calling the attention of my maid so she could step out with me. I intended to leave my room and I didn't want to go alone. It was pretty late and it wasn't so advisable to tread those paths alone, especially in this Pack.

I heard a knock on the door and I knew that it was Anna. "Come in," I said to her as she pushed the door open and walked in.

"You called, ma'am."

"Yes, I did," I said, getting up to my feet. "I need us to take a walk. I want to find Alpha Bane wherever he might be."

"Ma'am, can I suggest something?" She asked timidly.

"Sure. You can always do that."

"Thank you, Princess. I wanted to suggest that we could wait for him here instead. He's the Alpha of the Pack. Nothing will happen to him. He'll soon be here before you'll even know it. If that's the reason why you want to find him."

"I can't do that, Anna. Trust me, I thought about that. I've been waiting for him since morning and he hasn't shown up. I have to find a way to locate him myself. Besides, I haven't left this room since morning so it's not a bad idea to do that now. Let's go."

Walking past her to the corridor, she did the same and helped me lock my door so that we could leave. We walked down the corridor until we got outside and we began to walk slowly.

As we walked, I took my time to look in every possible direction, just in case we could spot him somehow and not miss him whilst walking. It was going to be bad if we somehow missed him and ended up spending a lot of time looking for someone who had probably gone back to the room.

As we walked, I spotted some maids somewhere in front of us. They seemed to be conversing so I walked closer to hear what they were talking about.

Luckily for me, they didn't see me. They were so engrossed with what they were talking about that they didn't see me get even closer.

I still couldn't hear them properly as they spoke in whispers but I heard one of them mention Alpha Bane's name. They were probably gossiping about him and I didn't find it amusing. Yet, I wondered why they'd do that. Perhaps, something was wrong, I thought and I decided to ask them.

Before I could say something to them I heard another one mention his name in a rather suspicious manner. She said something about him screaming but I couldn't really get a hold of the exact words she used. My curiosity was piqued even further.

I walked to them faster, stopping right in front of them and they immediately stopped talking upon seeing me. "Greetings, Princess," they said in unison with each bowing in a show of honour.
