The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 50

Princess Sophia's POV

I watched as my parents left the Pack and as the carriage drove away, I watched on with a smile on my face which I did my best to maintain as soon as they could still see me.

As they got out of sight, I turned around and my eyes met with that of Aurora. Immediately, I saw her, and the smile on my face disappeared as I stared at her in utter disdain.

Aurora disgusted me so much and if it wasn't a crime to kill someone, I'd have killed her already without thinking twice. The thought came to my mind time and time again and it took a combination of self-control, fear of the consequences and a lack of opportunity to stop me from carrying it out.

As we stared each other down, I was surprised to notice that Aurora didn't back down at all. She kept her gaze on me and never took her eyes off me. It had never happened before and I felt I was in dreamland. It could not have been real.

She kept staring at me without flinching and I wondered where she got such audacity from. Perhaps, she might have forgotten who she was; Aurora, the slave girl who was only good enough for the kitchen. She might have been the real child of my parents, but she was no Princess; just an elevated maid. She needed to be reminded of who it was, that she was talking to and it was my duty to help her with that.

I walked briskly toward her, so I could confront her face-to-face and teach her a lesson that she was never going to forget. My parents were not around and so there was no one to stop me from doing what I intended to do. At least, that was what I thought before proceeding to her but just as I got close to her, I was met with a huge surprise.

Alpha Bane appeared from nowhere and suddenly wrapped his hands around Aurora's back as though he wanted to have a word with her.

I was stunned and my jaw dropped as soon as I saw this. Aurora noticed and gave me a smirk which further infuriated me so badly that I wished I could do something very bad to her that instant. She had the nerve to get on my nerves. She was without any fear whatsoever and it still baffled me.

I watched them as they turned around to leave with Bane not even caring to throw a glance at me. He didn't care about me anymore and it was quite obvious. I wish he did but that was the reality of things and it saddened me greatly.

As they walked away until I could not see them, I remembered the words of my wolf and I held my hands over my ears and screamed aloud. I began to doubt my sanity as it was clear to me that I was out of my mind or very close to that.

Very furiously, I stomped back into my room, stamping my feet on the floor and hitting the walls at intervals as I went.

Alpha Bane's POV

I noticed that Sophia and Aurora have some sort of a stare down and I knew it was only a matter of time before things would get pretty ugly. I approached them very slowly, doing well to keep my distance so I could see what would unfold.

It was only after I noticed that Sophia had begun to walk toward Aurora that I felt the need to step in. I didn't want things to get ugly. I couldn't let it happen. So I quickly walked to Aurora and placed my hands on her shoulder, forcing Sophia to stop right in her tracks.

As I placed my hands on Aurora's shoulders, I was shocked that she didn't remove my hands. I looked at her face for a moment, just to be sure that it was real. I was even more shocked when we began to walk without any protests from her. I couldn't believe what was going on.
