The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 26

Aurora's POV

The carriage kept moving for several minutes and it looked like we would never reach there. I brought my head out a bit to see if I could recognize where we were but I couldn't. I wondered how long it was going to get to wherever we were going.

Suddenly, the carriage lurched to a stop and I heard the horses neighing about. My hands began to tremble as I was thrown into panic. Something was wrong and I knew it. Rose did too. She did her best to keep me calm.

I had a very bad feeling deep inside of me. I had to find out what exactly was going on and I couldn't do it from inside the carriage. Yet, I was scared of leaving there, to avoid being caught up with whatever it was that was going on.

My curiosity got the better of me, and I tried to leave the carriage. But I was halted by sounds if war. There were loud noises and screams from the men as they looked to be fighting amongst themselves. Then I heard the dreaded sound of gunshots and knives clanging against each other. I heard the sound of fallen men, as they screamed in agony. Going out didn't seem a great prospect anymore.

As much as I wanted desperately to save Alpha Bane's life, I didn't sign up to die. My aim was to tell him what Dylan had in store for him so he could escape. I never knew that I'd find myself at the scene.

As I kept contemplating, I felt a force out me out from nowhere and I couldn't understand it at first. Then, I tried to resist but it still forced me to move, this time throwing me to the ground as I hit my hands on the ground and cursed aloud.

It was Rose. It had to be her. She just couldn't stay away from the fight. "Don't do this, Rose," I muttered under my breath, but she wouldn't listen.

The noise continued and it looked like there wasn't going to be an end to ug. I looked up to see masked men all around, in heated combat with Alpha Bane's men. They looked to be having the upper hand as Alpha Bane's men were taken unawares by their ambush. Yet, they fought with all the strength they could muster.

I walked around a little bit, as I tried to look for Alpha Bane. The men paid no attention to me. They were all so engrossed in the fighting, with each man intent on destroying the other.

Yet, I remained afraid, taking note of each man that I walked past just to be sure that I was safe. Then, I saw him, fighting with a masked man who seemed to be very skilled.

Alpha Bane was known for his superior fighting skills. No one could match him in a one-on-one combat in the Pack. But this was different. It wasn't a fair fight. It was an ambush set up by cowards who couldn't manage to fight him face to face. Yet, it was a fight that he had to win as his life depended on it.

As they kept on fighting, I noticed that the man wasn't just trying to kill him. Instead, he kept pressing with so much aggression as he looked to push Alpha Bane backwards by all means.

That was when I remembered what Dylan had said to his friend. Behind Alpha Bane was a cliff; the very cliff that Dylan told his friend that he was going to push Alpha Bane off. Alpha Bane had no idea what was going on. I had to stop the masked man.

I ran toward him as fast as I can, not minding how tattered I looked or the fight that was going on without me. I just wanted to save Alpha Bane at all costs.
