The Rejected Luna Queen

Alpha Bane's POV

As I opened my eyes, I looked to my right and I saw that Aurora fell from the cliff with me. I looked down to see the fate that awaited us and luckily, it was a lake; a huge lake, but nothing that I couldn't handle. I just hoped in my heart that we weren't going to land on a rock or pile of stones.

We landed with a huge thud inside the lake and luckily for us, there were only a few stones there. I looked across to see Aurora who was struggling to hold her own in the waters. I almost laughed at her for not knowing how to swim but there were more serious issues. She was drowning.

I swam to her and lifted her out of the water, before dragging her to the shore. She coughed profusely as we got to the land and I gently lowered her head onto the floor when she got a bit stable.

I wasn't hurt. I just had a little scratch on my left hand so I was glad. It wasn't the same for Aurora. She had some bruises on her legs and her right hand, although they were quite minor.

As I stared at her, I kept thinking so hard about how she got here. She wasn't supposed to be here for any reason. No maid should have gotten involved with what happened to me.

Mmmm!!

Aurora coughed out water from her lungs and it was then I remembered what I was supposed to have done from the start.

Placing my hands on her stomach, I pressed them down at intervals until she was done spitting out water from her mouth.

She regained some strength and tried to get up but it proved too hard for her as she looked to be in pain.

I looked around to find something that might have been of help and thanks to the goddess, I saw a tiny green plant, very close to the lake and I knew exactly what to do.noveldrama

I had known about the plant for a very long time but the name was something I wasn't familiar with. mother used to use it to treat my wounds whenever I had an injury. It was finally time for me to use it on someone else.

I stood and walked to the plant, plucking a few leaves from it and returning to Aurora. Then, I took some time to squeeze the leaves, before applying them to the wounds, drawing a little cry from her. It may have hurt so much but it was exactly what she needed.

"How did you get here, Aurora? Why did you come here?" I asked, fixing my gaze on her and still tending to her wounds, but she said nothing.

Then I noticed something off. It was as if a spark was ignited whenever our hands got in contact with each other. I looked into her eyes and she did the same which made me yearn to kiss her lips.

I bent low in an attempt to kiss her and she didn't resist. She looked eager to do the same but I felt it might have been wrong to take advantage of her in that situation so I kissed her forehead about three times instead as she wrapped her hands around me, breathing in very heavily as she held me.

"Do you feel better now?" I asked Aurora as she sat up and tried to get up. I stood and helped her stand to her feet, holding onto her until I was certain she could stand on her own.

"Yeah, I guess so," she said to me, coughing one more time. "I feel much better. Thank you, my Alpha."

"You'll tell me why you came here, won't you?"

"Not now, please. Once I regain some strength, I'll do that."

We walked slowly, moving our eyes around to see if we could locate a safe place somewhere where we could rest as we could not go back to the Pack just yet. Aurora didn't look strong enough for that kind of trip and it was also possible that those men lay in wait for us, just in case we didn't survive.

"Here. Let's rest here," I said as we got to a very vast forest.

Aurora's POV

In the evening, I woke up from a little nap and saw Alpha Bane standing right next

to me and looking like he was about to go somewhere.

"Where are you going?" I asked him. "You don't know anywhere here? What if there's danger ahead?"

"You should get some rest, Aurora. I'll be right back before you'll even know it."

With that, he just turned around and was about to walk away but I had to cut him short. I needed to know where he was going as I couldn't risk losing him; not just for his sake but for mine too. I didn't know my way back home.

"We won't stay hungry here because we're not familiar with our surroundings. I need to get us something to eat so we can regain some strength. Just stay put, I'll be back before you'll know it.

I nodded, showing that I was convinced by his explanation and I let him leave. He dashed off at a very fast speed which every werewolf would be proud of. Then I walked to the thatched mat we had made earlier and there, I sat, waiting for him to return with whatever he got.

It was pretty dark but it didn't matter. I used my wolf senses to see very clearly and so there was no need for light. All I needed was Alpha Bane by my side and I couldn't wait for him to return.

Seconds later, I heard the sound of one coming out from the bush and I immediately stood up, just in case it wasn't him. I wasn't going to be caught unawares by anything at all. It wasn't my time to die.

"Hey, relax, it's me," Alpha Bane laughed on seeing my folded fists and fighting stance. I was a woman ready for battle.

He took out some fresh fruits from a little bag that he made with leaves. "Here," he said to me, handing a few fruits over to me before digging his teeth into the one he held.

"How's your wound?" He asked me, eating his fruit so hungrily.

"I don't feel pain anymore," I replied, looking at the areas where I had some

bruises to see that they had all healed. "They are all gone, Alpha."

As soon as I said that, I noticed a change in his countenance as he looked worriedly surprised and confused at the same time. He came closer to have a look himself and he saw that there were no wounds anymore.

"Only the blood of an Alpha can heal this quickly, Aurora. Is there something you're not saying to me?" He asked.

I didn't understand what was going on. How on Earth was he suggesting that I could be an Alpha? How ridiculous!

"I don't understand what you're suggesting but I'm very sure that I'm not an Alpha," I explained, still surprised he could think that way. It was so funny that I almost laughed, but I had to maintain my composure as I was talking to my Alpha. "Ever since I was a kid, I've always been bullied by everyone around me, so I grew a tough skin. That's why I have a very strong healing ability."

He shook his head, refusing to believe what I had just said to him. "You know, things might be a little more complicated than you think, Aurora. What I've shared with

you is a truth that has been communicated for ages. My father learned it from his father and his father before him and I learned it from him. People don't just learn to heal this fast. There is..."

As he kept speaking, I just stared at him, dumbfounded and at loss for words. Not wanting him to find out that I wasn't getting his point, I forced a smile off my face and gazed at him with immense attention.

If only he knew who he was talking to, he wouldn't have made such huge claims.
