The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 55

Alpha Bane’s POV

I continued to stare at Aurora, different thoughts going on in my head.

I was better off knowing that she didn't care than having to cope with her pretending to care for me. If she didn't want me like she said the last time, then she did not need to be with me. It was better for her to be elsewhere, where she truly wanted to be.

Besides, her parents were leaving the Pack for the Silver Moon Pack the next day together with Sophia. It was an amazing opportunity for her to leave with them and be rid of me for good. It was the best she could do for herself, even though I didn't want that.

Deep in my heart, as I asked her that question, I wanted so badly for her to say no. I wanted her to tell me that it wasn't because of my ill health. I wanted to know that she wanted to be with me. I craved it so badly as I waited earnestly for her to say a word to me but she didn't.

"If you're here because of my ill health," I continued, looking to discourage her from staying. "I'm getting better already. You can go now. There is no need to be here with me because of that. Don't worry about me at all, Aurora…"

As I kept talking, she ignored my words and began to walk toward me and then she sat on my bed, just beside me. I was forced to stop talking, puzzled by her actions. I didn't imagine she'd do that. I had thought that she'd leave the moment I told her that it was okay to do so. She didn't.

As the bed dipped, she placed her right hand on my forehead and it felt so… I couldn't explain the feeling but it was something close to magical or anything else of this nature. I found myself reacting to every touch and every movement of her fingers around my head.

I shut my eyes in ecstasy and suddenly I felt so much better. I wished she'd never take those hands off my head. It felt surreal.

She knew exactly what she was doing too. She moved her fingers in a very slow rhythm, circling my forehead and caressing my cheeks. Then she took her hand to the back of my head and began to caress it.

At that point, I couldn't even see her. I just kept leaning my head in any direction that her skilled hand moved as I moaned in ecstasy. She knew just how to make me forget my problems and she did it so well. I was in a different world right on top of my bed.

Then I finally opened up my eyes and saw that she, too, was staring at me intently. Our eyes were locked together and I couldn't help but admire the beautiful woman right in front of me.

I smiled.

Aurora's POV

I couldn't understand what had come over me. All I knew was that somehow, I found myself, touching Alpha Bane's head and rubbing soothing circles around him.

Instinctively, I just needed him to be alright And I thought that since it was an ache in the head, rubbing my hands around it gently was going to do the magic; at least, for a while.

"How do you feel?" I asked him after working my magic for a little while.

"I'm better. I'm much better now that I've seen you, Aurora. I've missed you a lot."
