The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 56

Aurora's POV

The Next Morning

I opened my eyes and I couldn't believe what was happening. I saw a body beside me and on closer look as my vision got clearer, I saw that it was Alpha Bane.

It wasn't just the fact that I slept beside him that got me surprised. It was the fact that my arms were wrapped around him in a cuddle.

I took my hands away from his body as I recalled all that happened the previous night and instead of being upset, I was quite happy. I also noticed that he looked so much better that morning and it made me even happier.

I faced him and stroked his hair gently as he slept and I watched the way he reacted, even though he was unconscious

After a while, I decided that it was time to get out of bed and I did just that. I stood, adjusted my dress and prepared to leave his room. I had a very tough decision to make too as my parents were to leave that morning. Leave with them or not? Time was always going to tell.

As I began to walk toward the door, I heard Bane groan from behind me. Then, he began to call out my name from the bed. I froze and turned to look at him with a smile on my face. I couldn't help but blush as it was so adorable.

I watched him search around the bed for me as he kept moving his hands. It was so amusing and got me emotional too. My chest clenched at the sight of it.

Shaking my head and discarding the thoughts so I wouldn't fall any deeper than I had already fallen for him, I quickly left the room and began walking down the corridor as I headed straight outside to see if my parents were already there waiting for me and Sophia.

Just as I had predicted, as soon as I got outside, I saw that the carriage that my parents planned to travel with was already ready and I looked around to see if I could spot them.

I couldn't for a while but then I saw them coming from the left side of the carriage, chatting and laughing. They must have gone over to the front area and were probably coming back from there.

I smiled at them as they approached me and they did the same. They looked so happy to see me. I was happy to see them too. But the smile was soon knocked off my face as soon as I spotted Sophia by their side.

That snake! I hated her so much and I knew the feeling was mutual. She was always so full of herself and for no reason at all. She wasn't even of royal blood and so I didn't know what made her feel like she could still boss me around and carry herself up and down like she was something.

I ignored her and walked over to my parents waving my hands and letting the smiles reappear on my face.

Princess Sophia's POV

As soon as Aurora came to meet with my parents, they instantly stopped talking to me and turned all of their focus to her. I couldn't contain the anger and jealousy that built up inside me that instant. It was so annoying; just like everything that had to do with her.

It was even worse for me because I had only just cracked a joke for my parents which I was sure was going to get them to laugh out loud. They were almost there and I could see their cheeks getting wider just before they saw that moron. She ruined my joke and made it look like it wasn't funny. But it was; it was really funny, the funniest joke I had told in a while and she just happened to show up right on time to ruin it! She was just a pain!

I couldn't let them see that I was jealous or anything. It would have been proof that she was gaining the upper hand. I couldn't grant her that pleasure of having one over me. Never! I just had to maintain my visage as if nothing was wrong. Even though I knew that something was.

" Hey, mom. Hey, dad," she greeted us as soon as she got close to us.

"Hey, Aurora," my mom greeted as my dad just nodded to acknowledge the greeting and smiled at her.

"Why are you not dressed yet, Aurora," mom asked her, seeing how shabbily she dressed. "Where are your bags?"

Aurora paused a bit and bit her lip and I interpreted that to mean that she was probably about to make up a flimsy excuse as to why she wasn't going to go back with us.
