The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 85

Aurora's POV

It had been over three hours since the festival ended and Alpha Bane was still nowhere to be found. I had gone to his chambers as he had instructed before leaving the Castle, albeit a bit late. Since I was a bit late, I had thought that he'd be waiting for me but alas, he wasn't even in his chambers.

After a short while, I considered leaving, as something told me that he might have gone somewhere else. But then, I knew that there was no way he wouldn't return to his chambers no matter where it was that he must have gone. It was only going to take some time before he'd be back so I just had to wait.

I sat on his bed, waiting and wondering why he wasn't there yet. I wondered where it was that he went that caused him not to return after such a long time.

Yet, there was something else that bothered me even more than that. I didn't know why he asked me to wait in his chambers. It was a mystery to me; one that I couldn't wait to unravel.

In a few minutes, I saw the door fling open and I immediately got startled. Then I saw that it was him between the doorpost and I calmed down a bit.

I stood and walked over to him. "Hey," I greeted. "Welcome. You did take some time to arrive."

He nodded and walked inside and I gently shut the door before turning back to face him. I heard from one of the guards soon after he had left the Castle that he went out to meet with my father. I struggled to believe that because he'd normally say something to me if that were to be the case, but he didn't. I also couldn't understand why he didn't want to tell me where he was going.

That alone, made me think that there could have been some truth in what the guard said to me but I wondered what exactly they were going to be discussing. Then, it occurred to me that they were both Alphas and so they had numerous Pack issues to talk about if they so pleased. But if it was my father he met, they'd have been done with the meeting a long time ago. Something was wrong.

"Was it my father that you were talking to all this…"

Before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed me in his arms and immediately pulled me in, much to my shock. I tried to pull away but he was just too strong for me and he reached in and placed his lips on mine in a kiss.

I didn't return it as I was so surprised that he did that without my consent. I was also puzzled because he kissed me so hurriedly, suggesting that it wasn't just a kiss, it was a means to an end.

Right there, I knew what was about to happen. I didn't want it but my wolf seemed to want it so much. She leapt with joy from within me and no matter how hard I tried, she wouldn't stop persuading me to go for it.

I began to struggle, hoping to get him to let me speak to him. I had to tell him that he should take it easy because he was moving too fast; way faster than I wanted him to.

"Slow down," I uttered in a muffled voice and luckily for me, he obliged and tore his lips from mine to my delight.
