The Rejected Luna Queen

Princess Sophia's POV

The Next Morning

Locked up in the dungeon, I had a lot of time to think about my life and all that I had made of it. I began to rethink most of my decisions, and I regretted most of them.

I screamed aloud as tears flowed freely to the ground from my eyes without restraint. My nose wasn't left out. Mucus just oozed out of it, with some of it, finding its way into my mouth.

I regretted everything that had happened; every single thing! If I knew that I'd end up in such a horrible place, I would never have tried that.

I knew I was a laughingstock outside there. It was probably going to be the news on everyone's lips. No one was ever going to want to hear my side of the story. They'd rather judge me. That's what people were good at anyway; judging others.

Since I got locked up, I'd barely had anything to eat. Not that I wasn't hungry or anything but they always came in with very slimy food which disgusted me so much. As much as I was very hungry, I'd rather let hunger kill me before eating that thrash.

Besides, I hadn't taken my bath either nor had I brushed my teeth since the day that I arrived. I smelled so bad and was so irritated with the way I looked. They were out to make my life hell.

As I cried, I remembered all that I'd had to go through ever since I was a little girl. I thought about all I had to do so I could get to where I was. I threw all that away. I ruined everything, just by one very foolish act...

I chose to listen to Dylan. It was my fault. I let myself be used by that idiot. I let him deceive me and I was left to pay for it. If only I had stayed away from that snake.

As I kept crying and slamming my hands on the floor, I heard the gates to the dungeon begin to jingle and I looked up, full of surprise, to know who it was that was coming inside.

I felt it was probably the guards but it was a surprise because the guards never came by that time. They usually arrived about an hour later than that time. So I assumed it was a matter that required some urgency and hoped that I wasn't in more trouble than I already was.

Before I could see the faces of the people who were walking into the dungeon, I realised that their voices were very familiar and I sat up on the floor in shock.

The door finally swung open and I glanced up, very anxiously, to see who it was and it was exactly who it seemed to be...

My parents.

My jaw dropped open in shock as I realised that the news must have spread so fast and far that it got to my parents far away in the Silver Moon Pack. There was no other reason why they'd have come to see me if they hadn't heard what happened.

They weren't alone. Mrs Scott came alongside them and I was so happy to see her and to know that, even in this period of grief and trouble, she thought it wise to be there for me.

As much as I was happy to see them, I felt embarrassed as I didn't know how to face them after all they might have heard. I felt they were all probably very ashamed of me and could barely stand my presence and it hurt me so much.

As they came closer, I couldn't hold back my emotions any longer. I stood and ran to hug them, even though I was in chains. I didn't mind the fact that my clothes were dirty and very tattered.

"It's alright, my child," said my mom, as they did their best to comfort me. "We'll get to the root of the matter. We're here for you."

I looked to the ground, as I wondered what I was supposed to say to them. I had

to make sure they were on my side. They were my only hope.

"I wasn't outrightly caught cheating with Dylan," I lied, biting my lower lip. "He forced me to be with him. I was threatened by the man and no one wants to hear my side of the story."

"I'm so sorry about that, my love," my father said, patting my back. "Soon, this truth will be out and everyone that had a hand in this will have to apologise to you."

He drew me in and hugged me tightly as tears kept flowing from my eyes. I looked at my mother to see if she bought what I sold to them but it didn't look to be so.

Her visage remained the same and I knew she didn't believe a word that I said. I wanted her to, and I also didn't want us to have such an awkward moment so I let go of my dad and hugged my mom too.

Aurora's POV

I tried in vain to reach Alpha Bane so we could spend some time talking about very crucial matters but my efforts were all in vain. There was barely anything that

I hadn't tried, yet, it seemed as if we weren't just meant to talk.

I needed to tell him everything that I knew concerning the situation at hand. I felt like he needed to know what was going on around him and that all that was happening were bigger and deeper than he might have thought.

He was only aware that Dylan had an affair with his mate. What he didn't know was that his brother had planned to get him killed and he had to be aware so he wouldn't be taken by surprise.

I went to his room three times, the previous day, but I didn't succeed in seeing him. He had been so busy and always had numerous visitors to receive and so he had no time for someone like me.

I got dressed, early in the morning, intent to gain an audience with Alpha Bane at all costs. I got frustrated with all the rejections by his guards for one reason or another other and I was determined to find him somehow.

I walked out of my room, without wasting any more time and I headed straight to the throne room, where I suspected that Alpha Bane was going to be, probably alongside some elders in case there was a meeting going on.

As I got close, I began to hear some noises so I walked faster so I could find out what exactly was going on. I went to the door and heard the voices more clearly. There was an argument going on in there; a heavy argument. It seemed like some people were in disagreement with something that had been said by one of the people there. There was chaos in there.

Yet, I wasn't to be fazed by all that. I had a goal and I wasn't going to allow a simple argument to put me off. I had to keep going.noveldrama

I gently opened the door and tried to get in but I was impeded by one of the guards who stood right in front of me with a frown on his face, made even scarier by his bald head. I tried to say something but I couldn't because of his visage. He wasn't welcoming at all.

"What are you doing here, maid?" He asked in a rather disdainful manner that might have made one fail to realise that he too, was just a guard. I almost laughed at him but I thought it best to respect myself.

"I want to see Alpha Bane," I replied, but he simply shook his head. "The information that I have is very important and it has to be community very quickly."

"At the moment, the Alpha King isn't receiving anyone as he's very busy inside. You may need to come back later if you want to see him. He can't leave what he's doing at the moment, even if he wanted to."

It was just like the other times. Yet, another excuse. Yet another reason why I couldn't see Alpha Bane, nor tell him what I wanted to, as he was very busy.

I turned around, feeling dejected as I slowly walked back to my room.
