The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 99

Dylan's POV

"Dylan, I just got information from our spy in the Silver Moon Pack that Princess Aurora and Bane have left the Pack. I heard they were headed to your Pack where Princess Aurora would be named Luna."

It was only early morning and I had only left my room to the conference room where Johnny and a few guards were. Not that there was a time for bad news, but I didn't expect to get that kind of news that early.

My nose flared as anger coursed through my veins. I was jealous too, and unashamedly so.

No matter how hard I tried, nothing seemed to ever go my way, but with Bane, it was quite the opposite.

Everything he touched turned to gold. He had all things working out for him, just the way he wanted it to and it always got me so upset. Why not me?

He fixed his eyes on the throne; on my throne, a throne that was my birthright, just as my father always told me when I was younger, even in his presence. He wasn't content with playing second fiddle as was his rightful place. Instead, he reached out to forcefully grab my throne and despite my best efforts, he did.

It wasn't just the fact that he got his hands on my throne that annoyed me. It was how he went about it. He was down in our first bout. I had him where I wanted him, but instead of yielding, he decided to trick his way into having the match rescheduled to a later date. That alone served to demoralise me and he took his chance. We both know that I was the better and stronger man. Our father did too.

As if that wasn't enough for him, he decided to bring Sophia, his mate, to the Pack which was alright. We were all expected to do that anyway. But then, instead of focusing on the woman, he also had his eyes set on Aurora, who I had managed to befriend. Such greed! He was bent on having everything to himself and leaving me with nothing. That was unfair.

Yet, when he saw me with Sophia, he looked like he had been betrayed. Such a stupid hypocrite he was. He acted like he had been so faithful to Sophia, when in fact he had always had an eye for Aurora and might have had one or two nights of pleasure with her.

I saw the way he looked at her. I saw how she made him feel. He wanted to enjoy something that he wouldn't let another enjoy. That was his nature. Everything was to be his and nothing for others.

His relationship with Aurora was proof of my assumptions. As soon as Sophia gave him a reason to, he quickly jumped into Aurora's arms and made it his home. He had two ladies at his disposal, while I hid away in the land of the rogues, having to make do with their low-class women. How could he be so lucky?

Filled with rage and fury, I hung my fist on the chair where I sat. "Calm down, Dylan. Please," Johnny pleaded, as I tried in vain to keep my temper in check.

"Sophia is still in the dungeon," he continued. "They left her there to suffer. Ever since they locked her up there, her life has been very miserable. They even barely give her new clothes to change in. Our spy has been checking on her daily and her condition hasn't changed at all."

I smirked on hearing that. All the anger that I felt quickly wiped away as I became so full of reinvigorated hope. My face lit up as I felt a grin springing forth on my face.

"What's up, Dylan?" Johnny asked, seemingly spotting the change in my mood.
