The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 166

Aurora's POV

Some Days Later

I took a deep breath on realising that it was finally the day of the burial ceremony of Dylan and Sophia. I stood from my bed and immediately went to the bathroom to have my bath. Then I put on a black gown, as was customary, and headed out of the house, straight to the burial ground.

On getting there, I saw a few folks already gathered but the priestess was yet to arrive.

"The priestess would arrive in a few minutes," said a lady who seemed to be her assistant or help as she dressed just like her and spoke like her too.

The only difference was that she had no red markings on her white gown like that of the priestess and she was also far younger than the priestess.

She dropped the calabash that she had in her hands and began to walk around it in circles as I watched her in admiration. She seemed to have mastered every step as she prepared the place for the arrival of the Priestess.

I let my mind go back to the last few days and how things had been going. I couldn't help it. It was too good to ignore. It was the best few days in a very long time.

My son was finally freer with us as he had gotten more used to seeing us around. Thankfully, he loved to play a lot and it kind of brought us closer, increasing the bond we had for one another.

He seemed to have some sort of affinity with his father, even though I spent more time with him. Alpha Bane would always rub it on my face that our son preferred him to me and I didn't like that, even though it was quite difficult to deny it.

As much as I'd have loved him to prefer me, what mattered was that our bond grew stronger and we had a good time, always. He was a very smart kid, just like his parents, and so it was so easy for him to learn all that he was taught.

My relationship with Alpha Bane also had very great improvements. The boy seemed to fully return the spark that seemed lost between us and restore happiness to our union. We grew to love each other more and more with each passing day and I loved every bit of that.

Snapping out of my thoughts, I turned around to see that my mother and Alpha Bane's father were around. It was a private ceremony and they didn't want so much crowd to be around for it.

The burial was being held at a lake, very close to the Castle. It was the burial ground for people of royal blood, like Dylan and Sophia. I shook my head at the thought of what was about to happen.

Finally, the Priestess showed up, ready to officiate the burial and her apprentice took a few steps backwards to allow her to do what she had to do.

As she began her incantations which only she could understand, I scanned the entire area and as usual, everyone was dressed in black. Suddenly, she turned around to Alpha Bane and I and our eyes widened in anticipation of what she wanted to say to us.
