The Rejected Luna Queen

Alpha Bane's POV

I heaved a sigh of relief as the night came upon me and my men. It was time to head back to the Pack so that we could handle other matters.

The riot had finally waned down as we succeeded in making sure that there was peace in the area, but not at the expense of nothing.

I lost some men; good men with great fighting skills. Whoever those assailants were, knew something about us because they had a few moves which only members of our Pack were aware of. When they began to make those moves, I was stunned; same with my men, as some of them were taken unawares and slaughtered by these ruthless men. It was a night to forget. The only good thing about it was that we were able to eventually defeat them, taking away all of their men, except a few who escaped and ran for their dear lives.

I walked around to the corpses of my men, shutting their eyes to give them my last respects. As u did that, tears flowed freely from my eyes as sadness overwhelmed me.

"I'll make it up to you in the afterlife if there's any," I said to them as I kept shutting their eyes, one after the other.

"We need to leave now guys," I said to the folks who were still alive as I walked over to the last dead warrior. But just as I closed the man's eyes and heaved a sigh of relief, I heard another resounding bomb sound ring through and I looked back to see that the opposition was back and this time, with better reinforcement.

I couldn't believe my eyes as I had thought that the battle was over. Little did I know that there was more from where they came from and as my men quickly ran to fight them, it seemed like they had no end. Their numbers kept increasing and I knew just what I had to do.

I got up and headed back toward the border where the fight was going on so I could continue fighting. As I got there, two men charged at me from both sides, swinging their knives at the same time but I ducked, causing one to inadvertently strike the other, while I thrust my sword deep into his heart.

I turned to the other wolf who was already writhing in pain while on the floor and finished him off with a stamp of my feet on his head.

"There he is," one of them who seemed to be in command yelled. "It's Alpha Bane. Get him!"

More wolves charged at me with great intent to have my head. I knew that it was never going to happen. Somehow, I was sure that deep down, they too, knew that they were running straight to their deaths but they were men under instructions and so they had very little choice but to approach me.

I lifted one of the men with ease and threw him on the other, as they both fell to the floor with one on top of the other. Then I thrust my sword into the one that was above and forcefully forced it into the other wolf as they both screamed in pain before giving up the ghost.

I kept moving forward, killing any wolf that stood in my way, intent on saving my people. Something in me asked me to stop fighting and head back home and I knew exactly what it was. It was my wolf and he was very persistent.

I tried to shake him off but he wouldn't agree. He kept telling me to let the rest of the men handle the fight but I didn't want that. He seemed so restless and I couldn't explain why. All I knew was that I didn't go that far, only to abandon them when the going got tough. Leaving them would have meant sacrificing them to our assailants and no Alpha would have been keen on being remembered for something like that.

I kept fighting so hard, ignoring the efforts of my wolf within. "Damn you all!" I cursed out aloud as I slew the men. "I'll be back home to my wife and there's nothing you can do about that, you fools!"

Aurora's POV

"Thank the goddess," I sighed, despite the pain that I felt. The delivery was a successful one and I could hear the cry of my beautiful baby.

The pain also wasn't as much as it previously was. It was drastically reduced and I was pleased with that.

I turned around to see if I could find the doctor or my mom but no one was there. They must have stepped out as soon as I shut my eyes to sleep. They probably didn't want to wake me up, knowing how tired I was. Little did they know that the sleep would only last for a few minutes.

I tried to shut my eyes again to sleep but I couldn't. I was so weak from the delivery but sleep was very far from me. Shortly, my mother walked into the room with a smile on her face and I was so happy to see her.

"Congratulations, my darling," she said to me.

I was too weak to speak audibly, so I just nodded and smiled at her. That instant, I felt so thirsty and it made me uncomfortable. My mother seemed to notice as shenoveldrama

drew closer to me. "Do you need some water, honey?" She asked.

I nodded and she placed a kiss on my forehead before leaving to get it for me. I inhaled deeply, shutting my eyes and imagining how happy Alpha Bane was going to be on seeing his child if he was still alive.

I wondered why he wasn't back yet and then suddenly turned to the side and spotted my baby in the cot beside me. "My beautiful boy," I muttered under my breath, so happy to see him. His hair had the same colour as Alpha Bane's hair and as I recollected this, I chuckled sadly.

Suddenly, I heard a strange knock on the door. "Come in," I said, thinking that it was just one of the maids. I didn't even look at the person as he or she walked in.

"You can drop the water," I said to the maid but instead of the sound of a glass cup, what I heard was a clanging noise that sounded like that of a knife.

Instantly, I knew that something was wrong. It was clear that something bad was about to happen and so I looked at the door to see who it was.

It was a man and I couldn't recognise him. He was dressed in all black and he had

a mask on. He walked closer to me, with a knife in his hand and I began to quiver in fear.

"Help me! Help!" I screamed, knowing that my life was in danger but the man seemed unfazed.

"There's no one nearby to save you," he laughed, still coming closer to me.

I began to scramble from my bed, keen on fighting for my life and that of my child, despite feeling so weak and knowing that I was no match for him. I wasn't just going to let him have his way.

I tried to get to the cot on time so that I could grab my child but before I could get there, the man reached out and grabbed my baby right before my eyes.

My eyes immediately went wide and confusion got the best of me. "Please" I begged him, with my knees on the ground. "Give me my baby. Don't take my baby from me."

He said nothing. He just kept staring at the baby with a smile on his face. "This child is so adorable," he said in a very low tone, probably to himself. "This is a very good prize that I have in my hands"

I screamed and tried to approach him so that I could take back my baby but he dropped him on the cold floor right before kicking me so hard in my mouth which caused me to fall. "You must stop screaming this instant," he warned, but I couldn't stop. I needed help from somewhere.

He took out a gag from his pocket and covered my mouth and hands with it while I offered very little resistance because I was weak.

"I'll be on my way now," he calmly said to me. "Have a nice day, Aurora."

As he walked away, I tried to scream but I couldn't because of the guard. I was unable to do anything to stop him from taking my child.

My heart was in pieces and I cried so hard. I thought about Alpha Bane and what

he was going to do when he'd find out about the abduction of his dear son.
