The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 158

Alpha Bane's POV

I arrived at the Pack with my men after a fruitless journey to the Rogue Pack. I had slayed a few men there including the Alpha but it was nothing compared to what I went there for.

It taught me that regardless of how sweet revenge seemed at first, it could never be compared in any way to what has been lost.

As I got down from the carriage, I slowly walked toward the Castle, not knowing how to face Aurora or tell her that I failed to get our son back.

I had thought in my heart that I was going to find Dylan and Sophia and make them pay for what they had done. Little did I know that it was going to be a fruitless journey which only served to offer false hopes to both Aurora and me.

After killing the Rogue Alpha, we didn't leave immediately. I figured out that Dylan and Sophia might have been still somewhere in the Pack, hiding away. One of my guards suggested that the Rogue Alpha might have even said a few things so that we'd think that Dylan had escaped, while he was still in the Pack.

We waited and waited as the days passed, hoping to see any trace of him. We searched more and more places, just to find him. We listened very keenly to know if we could hear the sound of a crying child which was inevitable if they kept the baby alive.

None of those happened. After a few days, we knew that it was a waste of our precious time because he was nowhere near the Pack. There was no place we didn't check out. He just wasn't there. So we decided that it was finally time to head back home.

I got into the Castle and slowly walked into Aurora's room where she sat on the floor with her mother by her side. My father was there too, standing right next to Aurora's mother.

Immediately I got in, all eyes went on me as they must have hoped that I'd return with our child. I bared my palms in front of them to show that my journey bore no fruit. They just shook their heads and Aurora sobbed even harder.

"They seem to have vanished into thin air," I said to everyone, walking across to Aurora and sitting next to her on the floor. "They weren't in the Pack when we got there."

As I spoke, I kept looking at Aurora, hoping that she was going to say something but she didn't. She just stayed numb and I didn't like that at all. Yet, I could understand why she had to do that.
