The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 63

Princess Sophia's POV

The day arrived when Aurora informed my parents that she was going to return and preparations were in place. After spending a lot of time with Alpha Bane, she finally decided that it was time to come back to our Pack. I guessed that the Alpha had no use for her anymore and decided to send her back to us. Good riddance. I knew it was only a matter of time before Alpha Bane would see her for who she was… a nobody.

My parents couldn't let it just be a low-key occurrence. Instead, they did all they could to make it look more important than it was.

Not that I thought it was important at all. It was just the arrival of Aurora… Nothing more than that. It wasn't like she was someone special or important. She was the same miserly maid that ran errands for all of us back in the same Pack. All those arrangements and preparations just served to make me very annoyed and angry and I wished there was something that I could do to stop it but I couldn't see any.

The whole palace was buzzing and it irked me. There was no decorum anywhere as the maids and guards kept moving from one place to another carrying out one task or the other as instructed by the Luna or the Alpha King.

What made it even worse was that I had never been treated that way before by my parents. I'd gone to several Packs on official duty as sent by my father but I had never received a welcome like this. No one had ever thrown me a party nor prepared a lavish feast in my honour; not even when I was still regarded as. Their real daughter but just on knowing that Aurora was their child, they already planned something as huge as that.

It served more to fuel the rumours about her being their real child and me, being born by someone else. It served to substantiate the rumours and further made the task of changing things even harder. I couldn't let things get out of hand. I had to do something about it. First things first, I had to go see my mother who was in the kitchen.

I walked to the kitchen very angrily and saw a lot of maids running helter-skelter trying to fix something up. I saw my mom also. She was organising the maids and showed them the type of meals that she wanted them to prepare.

There were ingredients for the preparation of assorted dishes only fit for royalty and they were doing that for a mere servant. It was so shameful and disgusting that they could all go that low. If I had my way, I would have smacked the faces of all of those maids.

I scoffed and walked straight to my mother and bowed on getting to where she was. "Why are you going through all this stress just because of the arrival of one person?" I asked her, as she turned to listen to me. "I mean, we all just arrived some days ago to this Pack. We were all together. The Alpha, the Luna and the Princess And no one received us this way. The maids and the guards didn't welcome us like this. Why are you doing that for Aurora?" I asked, rolling my eyes to express my dissatisfaction.
