The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 164

Aurora's POV

"I can't sleep, mom. I don't know what is going on," I complained to my mother as I rolled around on the bed, failing to find sleep.

I kept thinking about Alpha Bane as I prayed in my heart that he was alright. I couldn't help but explore the possibility of him not returning to me, especially when he had Dylan and Sophia as adversaries. I had learned by experience how not to underestimate those two.

"I need you to take a deep breath," said my mom to me with a concerned look on his face. "Please calm down, my darling. He'll be back safely."

She was always going to say that. I didn't expect her to just say that my husband wouldn't make it back home. I could never calm down unless I saw him return to the Pack with my eyes. Only then was I going to be calm.

I prayed in my heart for him to be safe, hoping that the goddess was going to smile at me this time. She wasn't always fond of doing that but I hoped for a difference that one time.

Suddenly, two maids barged into my room and I gasped in surprise, wondering why they couldn't even knock.

"It's Alpha Bane," the maid screamed in delight. "He just arrived. He's in the Pack now with the warriors. They won the fight!"

I quickly stood up, very delighted with what I just heard. My heart calmed down as all the fears that I previously held onto got deflated.

If he was back, it could only mean two things… He fought the war and won or Dylan and Sophia weren't there at all. I needed to see for myself.

As I tried to get out of bed, I heard the chants of the warriors and I was even more convinced that the maids were telling the truth. Not like they could have lied about something like that. They'd have paid dearly for it as my mom was never one to let things like that slide, even if I was.

Those chants got my heart all warmed up. I could tell that he was back and I had to find my way to him as soon as possible. "You should wait here for him, Aurora. He'll certainly find his way to you."

She didn't want me stressing myself or walking around and I could understand why. Yet, I wanted exactly that. I needed to find Alpha Bane; to make sure that he was in one piece and I wasn't going to stay back and wait.

I left the bed and before my mom could stop me, I fled from my chambers, racing quickly out of the Castle until I could spot them. I smiled as they approached. I could feel the delight in their voices. I was delighted too and I wanted to see Alpha Bane.

I looked amidst the warriors to see if I could find him. At first, I didn't, so I let them come closer before fixing my gaze on them once again to find Alpha Bane.

This time, I found some success. I spotted him amid the warriors, with a smile on his face. I was so happy.

Even though it was already night, the fire torched around, lighting up the environment and I could see how battered and bloodied he looked.
