The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 13

Alpha Bane's POV

"Please, don't punish me. I only came bearing the truth. I do not wish to upset you or cause you any harm, Alpha. Please, don't take out your anger on me. Truly, I am sorry."

The maid kept begging and begging and I refused to give in. As much as I thought about it, it was going to make me look weak and that was never a good impression. Besides, I couldn't help but want to find out for myself how possible it was for a man to have two mates. If I was the first, it was something I had to relish.

"Leave here or I'll raise an alarm and let everyone know that a thief had sneaked into my room to rob me, had I not been awake to stop her and you know what that means, don't you?"

I gave a cheeky smile and winked at her as I knew I got her where I wanted. She was surely going to be severely punished if she did that.

She grudgingly stood from the floor and walked slowly out of the room, much to my delight. As soon as she was gone, I walked back to my bed and lay there to think and get some sleep.

As I lay on my bed, a lot of things ran through my little head. I did feel something; something very close to a mate bond between the maid and me and deep down, I had a very strong feeling that she was my mate.

I swore within me to investigate the truth and get to the root of the matter. What better way was there than to take her back to my pack first and then know what else to do from there? None! So I decided to do just that.

I was never going to tell Princess Sophia about this maid. I didn't know how she'd feel if I did. Well, I did. I knew she'd feel mad and upset. I just didn't know to what degree and I didn't want to find out. Things were better the way they were.

I planned to bring her back with me to my palace under the guise that she was just a spare maid from this pack. She was just a maid so no one was going to care about her.

They wouldn't even notice that she had gone with me until long after we had arrived at my Pack. Even then, they might think she ran away. No one would ever think that I took her with me.

It was never going to be easy to do that. I didn't know which room was hers but I knew exactly who to ask for that. It had to be a very clean job without any trace of mistakes whatsoever.

I did not want to have any problems with the royal palace of the Silver Moon Pack, especially because she was a maid in their Castle. Yet, she was mine and I was going to take her back with me at any cost.
