The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 60

Alpha Bane's POV

I continued to caress her hair paying no attention to what he was saying. But then, she didn't want to yield at all. He just kept talking and talking so I had no choice but to pay attention.

"If there was any other way to do it, I'd have taken that part, trust me, but there isn't. I can't do anything else, Alpha Bane."

I felt so hurt deep inside of me that she was about to leave. I didn't want her to leave at all. I needed her to stay with me and I didn't think she wanted to leave too but I just had to make sure.

"Have you made up your mind to leave this Pack already? Is that what you really want to do?" I asked, hoping she'd say something that I'd like.

"Yes, I have. It's what I want to do, Alpha Bane."

As soon as she said this, she quickly shook her head off, forcing my hand to drop onto the bed. That hurt me even more as I noticed that my eyes began to dim.

"What are we going to do about our mate bond if you leave the Pack, Aurora?" I asked her, trying desperately to keep her with me. "These past few days have been an eye-opener to me as I've realised just how much I love you Aurora. I've fallen for you more than I'd ever done and your presence means so much to me. I'd realised how blind I was before and I apologise for that."

"Is that the only thing that you feel for me?" She asked me. It was a question that got me confused as I struggled to see where she was driving with it. She was fond of finding a fault or two in whatever I said to her which made me wonder if I was ever going to be able to please her. "From all that you've said, I think there's something I can deduce."

She looked unimpressed and showed no signs of emotion, unlike what I had expected. I had expected those words to permeate her heart and cause her to change her mind concerning what she decided to do. I wanted her to see reasons with me as to why she was to remain in my Pack beside me as my mate.

If only she could see what I was telling her in the light that I needed her to. If only she could just acknowledge our mate bond. Then, she would have had no need to go back. She'd have ruled by my side instead so we could rule together. It was a possibility that I could see very clearly. I just didn't know why she just wouldn't see that.

"You only fell in love with me because I've been of help to you; taking care of you, making food for you to eat, making sure that you've been taking your drugs and having proper rest. Like I told you the last time we spoke about something like this, you always only want me because I'm useful to you. If I wasn't, I'm certain that you wouldn't even blink in my direction but here we are."
