The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 68

Aurora's POV

The Next Day

I sat in the dining room with my family and Sophia as we had our family dinner. It wasn't always that we had dinner together but on that day, my parents thought it was going to be better if we did that so that we can all get a bit more comfortable with each other.

I knew that they were referring to Sophia and me but what they didn't know was that I had no plans of being comfortable with that girl. All I wanted was for her to be relegated to the servant's quarters. I was also certain that she wanted the same. The only thing that happened when we were together was trouble and I was ready for more than that if she so craved it.

"There'll be an upcoming werewolf festival that'll be held in this Pack in the coming days," said my father, breaking the silence that has previously reigned. "It's an annual festival that always happens by this time of the year in any Pack that has been selected. This time, our Pack was chosen to host it and so we must make sure that we don't embarrass ourselves in the presence of the other Pack Alphas and members at large."

"Would Alpha Bane's Pack grace the occasion?" Sophia suddenly asked and the second I heard that name, I froze instantly and turned quickly to look at Sophia.

"Most of the Pack Alphas and their people will be present in the festival as it's a highly respectable one amongst all the Packs in the area," my father explained. "However, there are a few times when some Pack Alphas and their members decide to boycott the occasion. It does have consequences unless they have a tangible reason as to why they did that. I wouldn't know if Alpha Bane or his father would grace the occasion as expected."

I was filled with disappointment on hearing those words as I wondered if he was even going to show up. I didn't know if his health had become better already or if he'd love to embark on a journey so soon. I did wish so much that he would.

I was still lost in my thoughts when my mother began to speak and it was only after she had called my name that I became aware of my surroundings.

"Princess Aurora and Princess Sophia," she called out as I frowned a bit in displeasure at Sophia being referred to as Princess. I was the only princess in the Pack. The only child of my parents. "I need you two to start preparing for the festival. By tomorrow, I'll delegate the duties so everyone would know exactly what to do. Is that okay?"

We both nodded and silence returned to the room as each of us resumed our eating.

Alpha Bane's POV

The search for Dylan continued and for days, no one could still tell where it was that he went. I was beginning to get so frustrated about the whole thing and so I thought it best to talk to my father about it.
