The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 160

Aurora's POV

"Mom, I think I heard a knock on the door," I said to my mother, who was having a conversation with my father in the throne room.

"A knock? I didn't hear…"

She was interrupted by yet another knock on the door, probably from the same person.

"Come in," she said, adjusting herself on her chair.

A guard came in with another man behind him. I quickly recognised who it was; a messenger from the blue moon Pack. I wondered what he had come to do in my Pack.

"Greetings, Alpha and Luna Queen of the Silver Moon Pack," he greeted, before turning to look at me. "Greetings, my Luna."

As much as that was who I was, I'd have preferred if he addressed me as the princess of the Silver Moon Pack. It was a title that suited me more as I wasn't happy with the Blue Moon Pack and anything that had to do with it, including Alpha Bane.

Ever since I lost my boy, nothing remained the same. I wasn't the same person either and even though I had told Alpha Bane that I was going to spend a few weeks before going back, I planned to stay a lot longer than that.

"I come with news from Alpha Bane, and a letter too," he revealed as soon as my parents nodded to acknowledge his greeting.

"He has asked me to come here so I can plead with Luna Aurora to return to the Pack…"

"Why would I do that?" I interrupted.

"He's begging you to come back because, for the first time in five years, we're finally making some headway in our quest to find and bring your son back to the Pack. Our investigations seem to be heading in the right direction. Here's the letter he asked me to give to you."

He handed the letter over to the guard with him, who took it from him and brought it to me. I opened it and after cursorily glancing at it, I handed it over to my father so that he and my mom could see what was written in there.

"I don't want to go back there," I cried as I gave them the letter. "I don't want to leave you yet. Besides, this is not the first time that we've heard of a presumed breakthrough or headway in investigations but they all led to one result… nothing! How can I be so sure that this would be any different? It might just be another waste of time and I'll regret going back to that Pack.'

"You have to be optimistic, my daughter," said my mother, as she tried to persuade me to go.

"Your mother is right," my father concurred. "You could see something different this time. I have a feeling that this time, they'll be something tangible to hold onto and in the end, you'll have your son back."

There was silence in the room as my father fixed his gaze on the letter once again. Suddenly, his eyes went wide open and I wondered what he saw. He didn't let me think so much.

"I've discovered the location of Dylan and Sophia, my love and I'll be going over there to fight them. I'm waging a full-blown war against them and by the goddess, I know that I'm going to come out victorious. Please, come back home to me, my love. I need you now, more than ever. I need to add you so that we can spend some time talking before I leave for the battle. Please, come back to me," my father read, before turning to look at me. "This is the content of the letter from Alpha Bane and I think it's worth giving a thought."

I cried as soon as he finished reading the letter. As much as I didn't want to believe it to avoid getting heartbroken once again, I knew that something was different about this.

He sounded so sure about what he was saying and if he was going to war, it could have only meant that he got his information from a trusted source and not some random people who might have appeared to share details of things they had zero clue about.
