The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 127

Aurora's POV

"You know that you have to chew your food responsibly," u said to Alpha Bane, who was making some uncomfortable sounds as he chewed on his food. "I don't know why you're being unnecessarily aggressive."

"Hey, stop that," my mom said, lightly hitting my right hand. "You don't need to talk to him that way."

"Don't mind her," Alpha Bane interjected. "She's always fond of saying such things to me. I guess I'm used to all of that by now. Besides, if the meal wasn't so tasty, I'd have had no need to chew on it so fast."

Everyone laughed, including my father. He seemed to have gotten the joke more than everyone else.

"Since she came back here, she has taken over the job of cooking from the maids. I'm sure they'd be wishing she'd never go back with you," added my father.

"Are you sure that you're not speaking your mind, somehow?" Alpha Bane smirked. He must have noticed that my father did want me to stay back somehow, even though we all knew that it was only for the moment.

We resumed our eating as I watched everyone dig into their meals with relish. I loved the sight. It was always a thing of joy whenever I saw people enjoying a meal that I had prepared. There were only a few things that I could compare with that.

"So tell me," began Alpha Bane. "What happened earlier today, Aurora? You told me that you'd be going to see a witch alongside the Luna Queen. What about it? How did it go?"

I bit my lower lip in surprise. I knew he was going to ask that but I had thought it was going to be done inside; when we must have returned to the room.

Besides, he had told me the previous night that he wasn't going to believe a word from the witch so I wondered why he had to ask the question.

"It went well," I quickly said, unwilling to go any further until we had gone back to the room. I didn't feel so comfortable having to talk about it with everyone else. I also wanted him to plead with me before I'd say a word to him. I wished my mom thought about it the same way.

"Indeed, it did go well," she affirmed, smiling at Alpha Bane, which gave me the impression that she was about to go further.

I pinched her from under the table but she quickly shook my hand off, glaring at me, before turning back to Alpha Bane to continue her story.

"The witch was very open to us," she began to explain, as I gave up trying to stop her. "She asked us to tell her everything concerning the dreams that we'd been having and we took turns doing just that. As soon as we got done, she began to mutter a few incantations as we waited patiently to hear what she had to say…"

"I wish I could understand why she had to do all of that instead of simply telling us what we want to hear. It's not like she or anyone she was addressing could understand those incomprehensible words."

"Careful, my child," my mother warned. "Some things are beyond you and this is one of them."

I smirked in disbelief while she went on with her story. "She agreed with us that there was danger lurking around us. She said that the danger was imminent and there were a lot of things that we were to expect in no distant time. As we pondered on those words, she began to talk about the wedding…"

"The wedding?" Alpha Bane asked. His eyes got slightly widened as he paid even more attention to what was being said.

"Yes, the wedding," I answered, seeing the need to continue from where my mom had stopped. I turned to my mother who seemed pleased to let me continue and I did just that.

"The witch asked us to go ahead with the wedding," I revealed. "She said it was of no use putting preparation in the land. She told us that it would hold something meaningful in our lives and we should not halt it for anyone at all."

"That can't be!" Yelled my father in disbelief. I could hear his breaths getting faster as he almost seemed to be fuming. "Things could go very wrong if we continued with the wedding because of the issues that we have at hand. We…"

"We're going to go through with it," Alpha Bane interrupted very coldly.
