The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 94

Alpha Bane's POV

"This meal tastes so good," the Alpha King exclaimed as he took a spoon of the meal in front of him into his mouth.

I saw the way that he chewed so gladly with his eyes partially shut and I knew he loved it so much.

I did too. The meal was so delicious and I knew why, even though he didn't. Telling him why seemed like a nice idea to him.

"I agree," the Luna Queen affirmed, as she had a spoon too. "This food reminds me of a long time ago."

I turned to Aurora to see what her reaction was going to be. I wanted to know how proud she was of the reactions elicited by her parents.

Her face was a little bowed. She was probably feeling a tad shy and I could understand why. Her parents didn't know, but she had gone to the kitchen to make the food herself instead of the other maids. She wanted them to have a spectacular meal and she had succeeded. They were so in love with the meal.

Me too. I loved it so much. It was one of the best meals that I had ever tasted. But knowing how good Aurora could cook, it was no surprise to me that it turned out so good.

"That's what you get when you eat lunch courtesy of Aurora," I finally revealed, much to the shock of her parents.

"Aurora? You made this?" The Luna Queen asked as both she and her husband turned to Aurora.

She could only nod, with her face still bowed. I loved the way she looked when she was shy. There was a certain innocence in her visage.

"I thought it was going to be nice to make the food for you both, myself. I wanted to thank you for all that you've been doing for me so far; for all the love and care showed toward me..."

"You don't have to do that, sweetie," her mother cut in. "We love you so much, Aurora. You're our child. There's no need to try to impress us or anything of that sort."

"She's right," the Alpha King affirmed, nodding in approval of his wife's words. "Yet, I must say that I appreciate this wonderful gesture of yours, my daughter. This is the best meal that we've had in a while and to find out that it was made by our daughter, only serves to make it even better. Thank you."

Aurora smiled a bit and nodded as everyone returned to their food. I cleared my voice and began to speak, "I intend to take Aurora with me to my Pack in the coming days.".

The Alpha King was already aware so I faced Aurora's mother immediately after making the statement to see what her reaction was going to be.

Taking Aurora's hands, I asked her, "Do I have your permission?"

She stopped eating her food immediately. It was like she was paused as she just stared at Aurora and me without saying a single word. The atmosphere was tense as I didn't know how she was going to take it.

All through my stay in the Pack before then, I noticed how much she loved Aurora. She always visited her in her room and the look on her face always told me she loved her daughter so much.
