The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 14

Aurora's POV

Very early in the morning, just as I woke up from my short but lovely night's rest, I heard footsteps approaching my room hastily. I got up and ran to my wardrobe to put some clothes on.

I was fond of sleeping naked. It gave me some kind of freedom that I could never have elsewhere. I had always wondered why people wore clothes to sleep when they were alone. Why place themselves in bondage when they can be free?

I put on a black gown as the sound of the approaching footsteps intensified. I wondered who it was that was coming to my room at that time as I didn't have work to do in the Castle that early. I hadn't even had my bath!

As they got to the door, whoever they were, they knocked on the door twice and as quietly as possible. They probably did not want to create any commotion. But coming to my room uninvited was trouble on its own.

I stood to go and open the door but I became scared. "What if the people want to steal from me?" I asked myself. They were knocking so quietly for a reason. Perhaps, they didn't want to be found out. So, I decided to stay put and let them leave when they felt like it.

"Do you want us to open it ourselves, Aurora?" One of the men whispered, but I paid no attention to that. I felt like I was secure in the place.

I even lay back on the bed to catch a little more sleep but the knocks gradually intensified so I sat up and waited, hoping that they were soon going to get tired and leave.

Then they stopped. I heard nothing else. I didn't hear them walk away but they didn't knock anymore for a few minutes so I guessed that all was well. How wrong I was.

With one kick from one of the men, my door was broken open and one of them held it and gently laid it on the floor as they approached me with fierce-looking faces.

The men were four in number so I wondered why they had to be so many to grab me. The one who was in front looked like he was their leader.

He had a round face with a clean shaved head and very bulgy eyes that I wanted so much to sink my hand into. His belly was so protruded, unlike that of the other guys and making me wonder when last he did an exercise.

"Pack her things quickly," he ordered and the other men immediately went into my wardrobe and began to pack my clothes into a bag that they came with.

These men were prepared. Somehow, they were able to locate where I was and they were the fastest people I'd ever seen.

Their leader walked to me and squinted his face, showing his disapproval of my treatment of them. I knew I was in trouble but I didn't know how much. They must have been sent by Alpha Bane. There were no other explanations for that.

The man held me by my right hand and began to drag me while I did my best to resist. He was too strong and the more I fought, the more I wasted valuable strength as he kept pulling me towards the door.

The other men finished with the packing and one of them held my left hand as they kept dragging me on the floor. "Please," I cried, with tears in my eyes. "Can I at least tell my mother that I'm leaving?"

"She knows," one of the men replied and I wasn't so surprised.

As they dragged me outside, I saw some maids standing just outside my room. They must have been alerted by the noise they heard from my room.

Some of them looked puzzled, just as I was, but the rest? They were more than happy to see my back. None attempted to raise an alarm. They just watched all that unfolded with some taking the extra step to curse me.
