The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 124

Alpha Bane's POV

"Hey, you're way too slow, my love," I taunted Aurora who was doing her best to dress up before me.

I zipped up my trousers and I was done. She was still struggling to wear her shoes and I kept laughing and pointing at her.

She looked up at me, with a very annoyed look on her face. "Stop that," she warned but I just kept laughing. The way she looked made the situation even more hilarious.

"Okay. Okay. I'm sorry. I just wanted to remind you that I'm always a few steps ahead," I subtly mocked her yet again, in an apologetic way.

"Well, I'm done too," she said, standing to her feet. "You only won because I let you win. I heard that Alphas never took losing very well."

I loved it when we played that game. Well, mostly because I was very certain that I was going to win. Just like a lot of women, dressing up quickly wasn't Aurora's strong suit. It was mine. Sometimes, I had to slow down to make it look a bit competitive. I dared not say that to her.

As she drew near to me, there was a knock on the door, immediately forcing me to face the door, not knowing who it was.

"Come in," I gently said as we both waited to see who it was that almost met us unprepared.

"Greetings, Alpha Bane. Greetings, Princess." A guard opened the door and walked into the room looking a tad puzzled to see us all dressed up.

"What brings you here?" I asked, with a straight look on my face. I didn't appreciate being visited by that time and I needed to make him see that.

"It's the Alpha King. He sent me to you, sir. He said he wants to have a word with you and that it's a matter of urgency."

I bent a bit, wondering why the Alpha King needed to see me that urgently. I knew it must have had something to do with Sophia's kidnap and all of that but I had no idea if he had gotten any new information. I had made other plans with Aurora but unfortunately, they had to wait. I knew she wasn't going to be so thrilled with that but then she knew what had to be done. Besides, she too, had her plans for later that morning.

I turned to her and planted a kiss on her forehead. "You know that I need to go, right?" I asked her, as I noticed she didn't look too pleased.

"Yeah, I do," she answered, faking a smile.

"Thank you. See you later, honey."

I walked out of the room and followed the guard to the throne room, trying to think of what the issue might have been as we walked. I knew there was no need for that since I was always going to find out about getting there. Yet, I still felt like doing it. I wanted that satisfaction that came from being able to accurately guess things correctly.

"Greetings, Alpha King," I hailed him, as I walked into the throne room.

"Greetings, Alpha Bane," he responded with a smile. "I'm pleased to see that you answered my call. Thank you."
