The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 86

Alpha Bane's POV

The Next Morning

I woke up feeling a tad tired. I stretched myself on the bed, managing to put my right hand over my mouth as I yawned aloud.

Indeed, I had quite some night to remember and the smile on my face told the whole story. It was an experience that I hoped would happen again and again. "Such a beautiful moment," I said to myself in a whisper.

Turning to my left, I saw Aurora, who was still sleeping on the other side of the bed. She looked as beautiful as ever and the rays of early morning sunlight that shined on her face made her radiate even more.

I counted myself so lucky to have her. I felt like it was something that I didn't deserve; a perfect gift from the Moon goddess that I cherished with everything in me.

As I stared at her in amazement and genuine awe, I made up my mind that I was never going to let her slip away from me no matter what. I was determined to keep her by my side and make sure that she had no reason to go elsewhere. She was my priceless jewel.

I stroke her hair with my left hand, marvelling within myself that she was all mine. I couldn't believe how lucky I was! I had marked her and she let me do it. We had consummated our love and I couldn't contain my joy.

I drew closer to her and planted a kiss on her forehead and she moved a little. But she didn't wake up. She just moved a bit and went back to sleep without opening her eyes at all. But there was a slight change in her visage. It was as if she was smiling in her dreams.

I turned around and began to get up from the bed. I had hoped to freshen up quickly and go on with the activities of the day. But as soon as my legs touched the floor, I felt a movement on the bed and I turned around to look at Aurora once again.

This time, she was awake. She looked drained from the previous night as her eyes were still a bit red. "How was last night?" I asked her with a smile on my face.

She didn't say a word and I noticed that she was blushing profusely. She wouldn't even turn to look at me. When I pressed on l, she covered her face with the blanket and I heard her muffled laughs from underneath it. She was so shy and I loved it.

Yet, I wasn't about to let her have her way. I reached out and forcefully removed the blanket to reveal her beautiful face but she covered it again.

"You can't hide forever, you know," I said to her, holding onto the blanket to take it off but she held on tightly to it too, to prevent me from carrying out my intentions.

"You're such a big baby," she said to me, refusing to let go of the blanket. "Who would've known that you loved to play so much?"

"I don't love playing, my dear. I love playing with you. Now, let me see your face this instant!"

We kept on laughing and playing with the blanket. It was such a beautiful moment.
