Chapter 4

~

Aurora moved forward to Alpha Wymond, the tears in her eyes were struggling to roll down, while she was trying her best to gold them.

Alpha Wymond was unable to explain how he felt that moment, he could feel the broken heart of Aurora.

"You promised to make me your Luna."

He nodded and swallowed his saliva. "Yes I did, but…"

"But what? Is their any reason that is genuine? Do you even know that I rejected my mate because of you?" She blurted, her voice was cracky, revealing how heartbroken she felt.

Alpha Wymond breathed heavily, he gripped her hands. "Look, I made that promise and I'll surely fulfill it."

"When you already found your mate but didn't let go of her? Tell me how you're going to fulfill that promise then." She took her hand away from him, blinked repeatedly and those tears rolled down her cheeks.

He was wounded.

"I'm very sorry for the pains I'm causing you. It was an order from the moon goddess, and i have a plan on how to handle this." He paused and scratched his head, then moved closer to her again. "I'll surely make her my Luna for the meantime, but I'll turn this palace to hell for her so that she will bring down the crown and run away because of the sufferings."

Aurora wiped her face. "You really want to do that, or you're teasing me again?"

"I can't tease you in such a situation, I'll surely handle her." He smiled and tapped her cheek. "And you never asked me where she is now."

She gasped. "Did you…?"

"I threw her into the dungeon, she will be there." He cut in.

A wide smile affixed on her face, she wouldn't stand and watch another woman take away Wymond from him.

She had rejected her mate because of him, and so, that rejection will never be a regret.

He lifted her into his arms and turned around causing her to laugh aloud, then he laid her on the bed.

"What's her name?" She inquired from him.

"Ophelia!"

"That sounds freaking."

He kissed her neck down to her chest.

"She's wolf-less and weak. I guess an Omega, though I haven't found out yet."

"Of course she will be an Omega." She giggled.

Wymond could notice the anger in his wolf, but he wasn't saying anything. He kept roaring and growling, but he didn't care.

"I need a beta like you as my Luna, not a slave." He kissed her lips. 

He placed his palms on her chest, ready to unbutton her cloth when a knock came on the door.

"Your majesty…"

"What's the matter?" He asked while ok the bed.

"Your beta sent for you. He has something urgent to show you now."

He arched his brows. "Where's he?"

"In your chamber."

He nodded. "Okay then." He shut his eyes. "This fucking dude." He cursed and climbed down from the bed while Aurora watched him.

"I'll be back okay." he assured him before leaving.

She laid on the bed for over ten minutes yet Alpha Wymond hadn't shown up, so she came down from the bed and moved out of the room.

"Are you blind?" A masculine voice scolded her.

She had stumbled on the king's younger brother who was passing by.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional."

"Aurora, isn't it time for you to just stop coming to this palace? Aren't you aware that the king has found his mate?" He scolded her.

She stared at her for a while and released a loud hiss, wanting to walk away, but he drew her back.

"Today should be the first and last day you walk out of me, or you'll end up in a mess." He warned her.

She sighed. "Then you should stop stalking me, because even if he has found his mate. It isn't gonna stop me from being Luna when it's time."

Hayden smiled devilishly. "Seems like you don't know what mating bond is all about. Even if you live in the same room with him, his mate will still be Luna and he has no other option left." He remarked and walked out of her sight.

She turned and took a good look at him. "Jerk! I don't care if you hate me, but I'll still be Luna." She murmured before heading to the chamber.

She tiptoed to the chamber to see the Alpha king pacing around while his palms transfixed on his waist.

"Ares, I'll plead to you now. Let go of me and my decision." Alpha Wymond referred to his beta.

"Then get ready to lose the throne. Making her the Luna, and then treating her like a slave will never given that fucking Aurora the opportunity to take over. If Ophelia ever leaves this palace because of you, then you will regret it." Ares blurted.

"The coronation is in twenty days time, and within thirty days she will leave. Take her if you love her."

Ares snorted him. "Don't let the moon goddess curse you."

Wymond glared at him.

"And her brother needs to be taken care of, they're orphans." Ares reminded him.

"How is it my business? I'm i responsible for the death of her parents?" He walked closer to Ares. "Is the Lycan king not an orphan too? Does she know who's responsible for the death of my parents?"

"What if you're responsible for the death of her parents?" Ares snapped.

Wymond smiled. "She will do nothing about it, because there must be a reason for their death in my hands."

Ares scratched his head, he had known how strong headed Alpha Wymond is.

"Uhmmm! Isn't it time for you to let her out of that dungeon?"

Wymond shook his head. "After three hours."

"Then I'll do that with my power while you waste your time with Aurora. But don't forget that there's no opportunity for her to be your Luna." Ares slammed loudly.

Aurora gasped in shock, she has been eavesdropping on their conversations all these while.

"Why is it that everyone hates me?" She bit her lips why walking back to the king's room. "Ophelia or whatever you're called, just get ready for me, because I can't watch you be the everlasting Luna of this pack."

She climbed on the bed again. 

"A werewolf can never rule the Lycans." She squeezed the bed cover.
