The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 98

Alpha Bane's POV

We had travelled for several hours and it was beginning to get dark. The sun had turned slightly red and looked to be moving slowly out of sight.

I took a look at the surroundings and I could recognize where we were. We were only a few hours away from the Castle and I couldn't wait to get there.

We stopped at intervals during the journey as we needed to take a few breaks. Some were for us to get down from the carriage and stretch our legs a bit, while the others were for us to get some food so we wouldn't die of hunger.

If we hadn't stopped to take those breaks, we'd have probably been at the Castle already. Nevertheless, they were worth it and they had to happen.

"Can we take a final break here?" The driver asked, on getting to the closest stop to the Pack.

I thought about it for a while, knowing that there was no other stop after that one until we'd got to the Castle.

"No," I replied, eager for us to get back home quickly. "We should keep moving. I need us to get to the Castle on time. When we get there, we can get all the rest and food that we want."

The driver kept moving and I stared down at Aurora who was already fast asleep. She'd been sleeping for so long and I guessed it was because she had cried too much.

After shedding a lot of tears, she was bound to be that tired. She also didn't take so much food as she claimed she lacked the appetite for it, regardless of how much I begged her to eat something.

I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead as I gently caressed her hair. She looked so beautiful and vulnerable and it felt so good to have the task of keeping her safe and comfortable.

We were finally going to be together in my Pack and I thought about what our future was going to be like. I was the Alpha and soon, she was going to be unveiled as the Luna of the Blue Moon Pack. I wondered what it would be like to rule the Pack with her by my side. "Such a beautiful sight it would be," I thought to myself.

I wondered which part of her the people were going to see more; the soft, tender, loving side of her or the tough, no-nonsense side of her, or even a combination of both. It was only time that could reveal that and I hoped she was going to make a great Luna, just as I'd always thought she would.

As my mind kept wandering from one thing to another, I remembered something very important. I had been thinking so much about how we were going to rule and all but almost forgot the most important part of our future; children. I had no idea if she wanted to have kids and how many she was willing to have.

"Sir, we've arrived at the Castle."

I was cut short in my thoughts by the voice of the driver who had parked the carriage right in front of the Castle. I didn't know how many hours had passed with me deep in my thoughts. It was a delight to know that we were finally home.

"Hey, love," I whispered, gently tapping Aurora's arm to get her to wake up. "We're home."
