The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 32

Aurora's POV

There was a lot of noise in the Castle and everywhere was in total disarray. It was nothing short of complete chaos and as much as I was still in my room, I could sense it so strongly.

I stood from my bed and walked to my door, very keen to know exactly what was going on. As I opened the door, I saw everyone running helter-skelter as if they had no purpose. Some maids and guards walked around at a very quick pace while the others stood in twos and threes, discussing in whispering tones.

I walked up to one of the maids who was walking past me in the direction of Alpha Bane's quarters and held her right hand to get her attention. "Please, what's going on here?" I asked her as she halted to respond to me.

Instead of talking, she dragged me by my left hand and took me to a secluded area, away from all the eyes and ears and there, she began to tell me what happened.

"There was a meeting in the palace this morning concerning what happened to you and Alpha Bane yesterday," she began. "After the meeting, Alpha Bane decided to go to Princess Sophia's room to see her and when he went there, he was met with something too big for mouths to speak."

"Please, tell me," I implored, as my curiosity got the better of me.

"He saw Dylan in the Princess's Room! They were making love on her bed. How despicable!"

I almost screamed but I put my right hand over my mouth. It was an abomination to lie with the mate of your blood. How on Earth could they have done such evil?

My jaw dropped and I couldn't hide the shock that I felt. After all that Alpha Bane had to say to me because of the princess, this was how she was going to pay him back.

She was the only reason why Alpha Bane couldn't embrace me as his mate. The fact that he had marked her even made me more livid, but it wasn't just her that I was angry at.

Dylan too. I mean, how could he have done such an evil thing? After plotting the death of his brother, he had the guts to sleep with his mate. I wondered if both Dylan and Princess Sophia were in, on the plan to kill Alpha Bane. There was nothing beyond those two.

"Thank you so much," I thanked the maid, after she tapped me on my hands, bringing me back to my consciousness. I had drifted away in thoughts and I didn't even know.

She smiled at me and turned around to leave, but then stopped abruptly and walked hastily back to where I was. "I forgot to let you know. There are rumours that Dylan might have run away from the Castle with the help of his guards. No one is quite sure about that but the rumours are growing stronger."

"What about the Princess? Did he leave together with the Princess?"

"I heard the princess has been locked up in the Castle's dungeon where she remains until this moment, waiting for the appropriate time for interrogation."

I was shocked. Everything seemed to be happening so fast. I stood, hands on my waist as I wondered what I had to do next. I contemplated going to Alpha Bane's room but I didn't know if he was in a good mood.

I watched the maid walk away from the corridor to nowhere in particular.
