The Rejected Luna Queen novel Chapter 4

Aurora’s POV

It was prematurely morning, I was already awake and I was presently doing my chores.

It took me a few hours to complete then, and when I was done I hurried to my bathroom to take my bath.

As much as I was always on good hygiene, I still looked unsightly to every eye that glances my way, and it was tiring to say the least.

Hence, I was wholly prepared and I left the pack, I didn’t want mother to see me leaving at all, or else - this mission of mine would be razed.

A few minutes later which was approximately an hour, I arrived at the Blue moon pack and I headed straight towards the hall where the duel was to take place and lo and behold it had already started!

‘I guess we already missed the starting point!’ Rose said softly in my head.

“I know, but watching how it ends is much better and I pray to the moon goddess that Alex wins!” I replied her while wearing my mask and also seeking a habitable space for myself.

Thank goddess, no one knew I was the one if not I would be the center of attraction.

I could notice that today’s duel was now extremely aggressive than yesterday, as Dylan, the tyrannical prince of the Blue moon pack over struggling to win over my mate.

However, Alex was not giving him the opportunity as he abruptly swung around and he stopped when he got behind his opponent...

Before Dylan could rotate and confront my Alex with his sword, he quickly lifted his sword, and slit his half brother’s arm.

"Hooooo!" Dylan growled in pain, his sword plunging from his hand as he grasped his oozing arm.

Everyone's eyes widened in anticipation, tension laced with uncertainty reigning in the atmosphere.

My heart hammered against my chest, I was restlessly breathing as I watched my mate through my mask.

While Dylan was howling and grunting on the floor, my mate moved swiftly to him, leaning down to him and he slit strands of Dylan's hair.

‘He won!’ Rose sharply gasped in my head.

"Alex! Alex!” Someone roared rambunctiously in the crowd and everyone sprang up to their feet.

Screaming and clapping rumbled cheerfully in the air, some were waving their hands gaily while a few of the pack members were simply clapping heartily.

Everyone was excited at the Alpha battle victory, they were all joyous just like I was at the moment that that my mate won the duel! I was so proud of him, and I wanted to say this to him squarely.

"Hurray!” I raised aloft my hand in the air, squealing excitedly as I watched my mate hugely smiling at the pack members.

Then, he turned around and bowed at his father, the Alpha king who stood on his feet.

Everyone silenced down when the Alpha king made to speak.

"Alex!" The Alpha king called.

"Yes, father!"

"I, the Alpha king of Blue moon pack congratulate you on your victory. Truly, you have shown your strength and capability to rule and I hereby appoint you as the next... Alpha king!" He asserted publicly.

"Thank you, father!" Alex, now the upcoming Alpha King bowed again with enticing gleams on his face.

Everyone started to clap boisterously, hurling beautiful flowers at him and I grinned behind the mask in euphoria.

"Thank you, father!" Alex thanked his father again, and the king nodded briefly to him. "....Er, I'd like to announce to everyone that I have found my mate!" He added and immediately my breath hitched.

What the heck? No freaking way!

I was becoming intensely nervous, my hands were sweaty in anxiety and my heart was pounding rapidly against my chest.

—Deeply in my mind, I badly wish he could notice my presence.

"Who is she?" The Alpha King asked his son.
