The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 54

Alpha Bane's POV

My head still ached a lot and I put my left hand on it, hoping to ease the pain that I felt. I groaned aloud as I struggled to get some sleep to no avail.

The Pack healer was supposed to get some pills for me to help me sleep better but for some reason, he didn't arrive early enough. I resolved in my heart to make him pay for it if there was no tangible reason as to why it happened. But I had to see him before I could do anything like that.

As I stretched a bit on the bed, trying desperately to find my way to dreamland, I heard a very resounding knock on my door and I wondered who on Earth had the guts to knock on my door like that.

If it were to be a guard, I'd have made sure that he paid for it. I knew what being in my condition meant. I knew it could cause a few people to try to undermine my authority because, at the moment, there was nothing I could do. However, I resolved to make them all pay for their insolence the very second I got better. Indeed, I swore it and I meant every word.

Before I could even tell the person to come in, I saw my door swing open and a figure walking right through it. I was enraged. What stupid audacity! I was so angry that I wanted so badly to deal with the person harshly. Then, I wasn't anymore.

It was Aurora. I couldn't believe it. As she walked straight to where I was, I sat up immediately.

It felt like the pain was gone or I had simply forgotten about it. All I could think of that instant was Aurora. I was so shocked to see her. It was something I never imagined would happen, but there I was, beholding it all.

As I opened my mouth both in surprise and in an attempt to say something, I spotted Donald coming into my room from behind her. That was when I put two and two together and I just put my hand on my face to express my dissatisfaction.

It was pretty clear what had happened. He must have told Aurora about my illness even though I sternly warned him not to do that. He even promised me that he wouldn't. Such low value he had on his words. It was nothing short of appalling.

I looked at Donald with a very painful look. I made my countenance look like I was in more pain than I was, just to drive my point home. Instead of looking worried or a bit tense, he just smirked at it.

I hated it when he did that. He had done it so much that it had become a part of him. Sometimes, I felt like he couldn't help but do it. Yet, in that situation, I didn't think he was going to try something like that. Not with me, his Alpha.

The atmosphere was still a bit tense as silence reigned supreme in the room. Everyone was expecting everyone to say something; well, I couldn't have been so sure but from how I felt and the way they both stared, I was surely not far from the truth.
