The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 74

Princess Sophia's POV

The place was bumming with noise springing forth from numerous people gathered together in the hall. The festival was upon us and people laughed and chatted amongst themselves, eager to see what was going to happen in the event. Me too. I was all prepared for what was to come.

"This is gonna be one hell of a festival, my brother! I'm super pumped, are you?"

"I'm only here for the women from the other Packs. Who knows who the goddess would choose to bless me with today?"

"Fortune shall shine on me today. The Silver Moon Pack is hosting for the first time. There have to be some great tidings!"

People laughed and made tons of remarks concerning the festival with much enthusiasm. Some were a bit too enthusiastic and I found it to be very funny. Nevertheless, I had to put my focus on where it should be.

I stood right next to my dad whose face was beaming with smiles as he looked around the hall, probably trying to find out which Pack was represented and which one wasn't or trying to locate just one person amongst the entire wolves in attendance. I had the same thing in mind. I was on the lookout for Aurora.

Dressed in my elegant blue gown which I had kept until the festival, I had no doubts that I was going to look best at the festival. Seeing the people who had already arrived, I was on the right track.

My long, blue dress, my lovely red heels, and my stunning makeup made me look so stunning. As I looked at myself through the mirror, just before I stepped out of my room, I knew that I was going to turn heads. I almost clapped for myself. It was how impressed I was.

I wanted to know what it was that Aurora was going to put on. I knew she must have received some new clothes but being the maid that she was, her choice of outfit was always going to be mediocre, just like her. She had no class or taste whatsoever and so I expected nothing more than a sheer disgrace of an outfit. I just had to see for myself.

After a few minutes of peeking around in search of her, she was still nowhere to be found. She had probably felt too ashamed to show her stupid face. Perhaps, she must have seen what others wore and ran back to hide in her room.

Yet, I needed her to be there. She had to. All the jabs that I had in my head for her weren't supposed to be in vain. I had to use them on someone and she was the perfect one for that.

"Oh, there she is," I subconsciously mouthed as soon as I saw Aurora, coming into the hall through the door.

"Doesn't she just look so wonderful?" My father asked, spotting her too.

She did. I didn't like that at all. But it wasn't that she had a great outfit that made me so mad, even if it was part of it. It was the dress she wore. It was familiar.

It didn't take me so long to remember who it was that I found the dress on many years ago. It was my mom's. I couldn't believe it!

My mom had never given me any of her clothes ever since I was little. She always kept her dresses aside, as if it was a tradition for her not to let someone else wear her dress. Now, she thought it best to hand her gown; one of the best that she had, to Aurora. That was so unfair!

As she took gentle strides into the hall, I could tell that all eyes were on her. I turned around just to make sure and yeah, everyone paused to admire her breathtaking beauty. She seemed to have noticed too as she smiled and didn't let it go off her face for a second.

I noticed something else; something that I had thought was impossible. She had no scars at all. Her face was so smooth and her beauty radiated so much.

I bit my tongue in anger as I saw my plan crashing right in front of me. Yet, I knew that there was always a way to get whatever I wanted. I just had to find another one.

"Wouldn't you head over there and talk to your sister?" My father asked, narrowing his brows to show his displeasure.
