Rejected and Abandoned: The Luna’s Reawakening 147
ROSHIDALiam was in his cot sleeping. I hadn't spent time with my baby through out the day and I missed holding him. I felt like carrying him in my arms but I knew that doing that would be the greatest mistake of my life because I knew that even though he looked so peaceful and innocent, as soon as he woke up, he was going to be the cookie monster. Besides, if I wanted him awake, he was going to be awake in a couple of hours crying and asking to be held, changed, fed or pet. I would get my dream very soon. I looked at the wall clock and it showed three am. That meant I had slept for eleven hours. That was a very long time. Which was also a very long time for my food to digest. Yes, I was hungry again. I grabbed the baby monitor and went out of the room. I felt like a little rat, going about when everyone else was asleep. I wouldn't be shocked if Sophia caught me as I was snooping around in the kitchen. It wasn't Sophia who caught me though. “I’m starting to think that this sh

ROSHIDAHis eyes followed my every movement until the spoon was in my mouth. I could see how eagerly he wanted to get my review.Thankfully, it tasted good and I didn't have to lie..“I had no idea you were this good of a cook.”He beamed brightly and let out a sigh.“It’s one of my favorite things to cook. I'm glad you like it.”We stayed like that for a while with him watching me eat. I normally didn't like that but I didn't mind this time.“When are you leaving?”Sophia and I had been speaking about it earlier.“I’ll calm the doctor today and if he tells me that Social Services has found a place for Liam, I'll leave. He's the only reason I'm still here.”He went quiet and even though I could see his shadow, I had to look up to check if he was still there.“Why don't you take him? Raise him as your own?”I dropped my fork quietly.“I can't do that.”“Why? I mean, it would be perfect for you to learn about being a mother before you get your own kids. So why don't you want to take him

ROSHIDAI like how he didn't have to be told twice.As soon as I said it, he closed the distance between us and let our lips meet.It was something I didn't know I needed until I got it.His lips were soft just as I thought they would be and they tasted like chapstick. Strawberry chapstick.There wwre butterflies in my stomach. Actual butterflies. I never felt that for once with Felix.He was gentle, not too aggressive but still putting the right amount of pressure to make it something.When he pulled away, there was barely any space left between us. I wanted to ask him to kiss me again but I didn't.“I’ve been wanting to do that since the night I saw you in that room during the meeting. You are beautiful, Roshida. Every part of you is.”I'd never had anyone talk to me like this before. Hell, I've never had anyone this close to me or even kiss me.I removed my hand from around his neck.That shouldn't have happened..why did I day all those things to begin with?I removed his hand from

ROSHIDAShe screamed just as I thought she would. I had to cover my ears and watch as she danced around the room like she had just kissed Cinderella's Prince.“I’m the one who kissed him. Why're you so happy?”She stopped and looked at me.“Do you know how long I've been longing for that? Do you know how much I wanted you to do that? Tell me everything and don't leave out any details.”I laughed as she jumped into bed for the gossip. I told her everything including how he cooked for me.She had a huge smile on her face throughout and it looked like her cheeks were going to burst.“I can't believe this. So while the whole Kingdom was asleep, you and the prince spent your time in the kitchen doing things. Isn't the kitchen the place he saw you the last time?”I nodded.“I don't know why he's always in the kitchen at that time.”She smiled and smacked my arm.“Look at you getting your first kiss from a prince. Such a fairytale. Tell me, how was it?”I felt so weird talking to Sophia abou

ROSHIDA“My King, you didn't have to do this. I mean, thank you.”All the papers were already signed and sealed. I had thought that after breakfast and cleaning myself up, I was going to come meet him and speak to him myself.I was scared because of the way I'd. Even asking him for different things recently. First, my divorce and then, the fact that I had to stay here. I didn't want it to seem like I was taking advantage of it.“Valfred came to me this morning saying that you didn't want to come to me yourself so you went to him. I'm just like your father, Roshida. Don't be very scared to come to me for anything at all. Just call me or come to me.”Valfred really did that for me?I blushed and held the papers close to me.“Thank you so much, My King. I promise I'll take care of him and make sure he becomes a good young man.”He laughed.“Make sure he's just like your father. I miss my old friend. When are you going back to your pack? I hear you have plans to open the Blue Ridge Fortre

ROSHIDA The day to leave was finally here. I was going back to my lack to resume my duties as a Luna. Last night, I'd had my last dinner for now with them and it was wonderful. Then after that, I went to sea Valfred to thank him for helping me out with the Prince. I didn't see him in his room and I was about to go to his office when I saw him at the balcony. “There you are. I've been looking all around for you.” He turned around and gave me a small smile before turning back to face the night. “I like how windy it is. So quiet. So peaceful. Its like the wind brings your thoughts and takes them away once you're done with them.” I felt that way about the night too. “I wanted to thank you for helping me speak to the King. I mean, I was already thinking that I'd come meet you to come with me after breakfast to come with me. Thank you so much.” He smelled nice. Like coffee and Vanilla but in a manly way. “It was the least I could do. I know how much it meant to you and I

ROSHIDA Before the water could land on me, I turned around and used my body to block the water from touching Liam but there was only so much that I could do. The water still touched him and he started crying. The maids there just stood there in shock while one of the them ran over to take Liam from my hands. “Sonia! Have you lost it?” While the water was dripping down my hair and body, I turned around to look at her. “I may not be royalty but I'm still a human being. You don't expect me to stoop so low as to agree to come back to your kingdom with you and be a maid!” What on earth was she saying? ”A maid? Sonia, I told you that you don't have to work. You don't want to work right? You don't have to work. You'll just live with me. That's all. I didn't ask you for anything.” I had no idea that Sophia was standing behind me all this while. A maid walked up to me and held my shoulder. “Luna, you're shivering. We need to change your clothes.” I wasn't even worried about myself..

ROSHIDA I finally found the time to leave. I didn't want to stay past this week so the next day, we didn't even wait for breakfast and we packed our bags and left. “Don’t forget to come over when you need anything and come by often to say hi to us. We will miss you.” The Queen almost took out the air from my lungs with her hug but I let it happen because I knew it was out of love. “I’ll come see you and I'll come for your instatement. I'll make sure of it. You just have to be good and don't forget to come see us often.” That was the plan..it felt good to know that I had people somewhere who would be with me when I needed it. “I will make sure to come here, my Queen. Thank you so much for letting me stay here for so long. You have a beautiful home.” I had to see Clarissa next and she just pulled me in for a very tight hug just like her mother. “You should come over more often. Even though we didn't

ROSHIDAI was completely confused.“No, I do not think it's a women's party. I know it's a meeting for pack leaders-”One of the Alphas interrupted.“You mean, Alphas.”These men piss me off so bad and I'm going to bed help, a lot of help to be able to deal with these people. “No, I mean Alphas and Lunas. If you have a problem with me being here, then maybe you should not have invited me. So tell me, do you have an issue with me being here?”The guy standing laughed. I didn't even know who he was and I was sure I hadn't seen his face before. “The only reason we invited you was because the Blue Ridge Fortress is in your territory. And apparently, we can't do anything without your approval. That's why we invited you. If not, this is a meeting for men only. So do we have access to it or not?”Wow, so this was how they wanted to play it? Very well then. There was a knock on my door and I saw the guard that I had sent to get that man from earlier. Before he could speak, I held my hand

ROSHIDAThe thrill and celebration that came with being crowned Luna had washed away and what was left was the work load and the meetings and the sanctions and the judgement. It was like the people of the pack did not live before I became Luna because as soon as I started work, every little thing was brought to me. The other day, two women came to report each other to me because their kids had gotten into a fight and they both decided that they also needed to sort things out so they got into a fight as well. “What exactly were the kids fighting over?” Before that, I had barely gotten two hours of sleep in three days and I would be anywhere else but here. “Some girl in school that they liked. My son saw her first and asked her out while her stupid son went behind my son's back to snatch her away from him.”I finally looked up at them, trying to manage the headache that was raging in my head. The scene before me wasn't making sense. “So let me get this straight. You grown ups dec

ROSHIDAI gave Liam to Marie that morning and asked her if breakfast is ready. “Yes, it is. The King and Queen are at the table already.”Well, it's a good thing that they can still eat without me being there. I had had another thing to worry about. What if the King and Queen were mad at me for what happened last night? This morning, I thought about it properly and realised that it seemed like disrespect. Not even that, it was disrespect to walk out of the King and the royal family. And I didn't want anyone to them to think that it was because we had become so close that I had the guts to walk out on them. As I stood in front of the door,.I pressed my ear to see if I could hear anything but I couldn't hear any conversation or cutlery clanking. What were they doing if they weren't eating already?“Roshida?”Sophia's voice startled me so much that I hit my knee into the stood beside me and the silent scream that I had to endure made me see stars. “Are you okay?”.When the pain had

VALFREDAs she stormmed past me and walkrd to her room, I just stood in the same spot while Reggie went to take a seat.Now I knew that I had officially messed up. I should be glad if she ever looked at me again not to even speak of talking to me again.“What the hell happened out there? I mean, I heard you guys had a fight earlier..is it because of this?”At this point, I was beginning to think about all my life choices. Maybe I shouldn't have followed them to the pack. At least, I would have avoided having to have the conversation with her and letting her find out that I was her classmate.If that handt happened, this wouldn't have happened.I told my family everything that happened and Reggie just sat there like a sponge, taking everything in like he was the one that had been caught in a lie.“I told you! From the moment you told me about her, I told you to tell her the truth. She doesn't have a wolf that would tell her who her mate is so she needs you to tell her the truth. And no

ROSHIDAI didn't look back until I got home. There was nothing to look back to. All I could see were faces of liars. I stormed right into the house, not even sitting for either of them to catch up with me. Ss soon as I entered the living room, I asked where everyone was and the guards took me to where they were. Why were they locked in a room? I wanted to ask but the way the Queen ran to me and grabbed me like I was a thief, pulling me closer to her threw me off balance. “You’re okay! Oh gosh! Where were you? What happened? We were all so worried, did they take you anywhere? Are you hurt?” Without first answering, I went to pick Liam up. He was crying in the corner and I'm sure it was because of all the pandemonium. “I wasn't taken. No one kidnapped me, I'm fine.”Valfred and Reggie joined us in the room and their faces looked looked like they had just found my dead body. “What is going on? You found Roshida so what's the matter? Why do you guys look that way?” I wonder if the

VALFRED“Are you sure you even know where we're going or are we about to get kidnapped too?”I didn't bother turning around to look at him because I didn't have anything to tell him. There was no time to be wasted and we needed to hurry up so we can get to her as fast as possible.“I won't lie, I actually don't know where we're going. I've never been here before and I can't track down her scent. I am picking up another scent though but-”“Shut up and stay down.”I turned around to look at him, hoping that he had not gone mad.“What are you on? Let's keep moving-”“Shut up! I saw something move in the trees. Get down.”I finally listened to his instructions and got down, holding my breath to see what he saw.After a while, I saw the movements a few yards from us, it was slow but steady.“Who do you think it is?”The silhouette of the figure was obviously a woman but we didn't want to take our chances so we didn't make a move.“Do you think it's her? I'm blind as a bat in these woods.”

ROSHIDA“Where did you say you saw the King? I think we've walked far enough.”I turned around to look but there was nothing to see. As far as my eyes could see, there were just trees. Gosh, how did I not realise how far I was walking?The girl turned around.“Just a little bit further. It's down here.”I should have let those guards follow me, they would be looking everywhere for me. I just hope that they don't start worrying.I'd been so angry at Valfred that I stormed off to the car to cool off. How could he not have told me all this while we were friends that he'd been the one that I'd helped all those years ago?I wouldn't have been mad at him or anything, he should have just told me. I came down from the act, remembering that I still had to show my face at the party.That was when this young girl.ran up to me and told.me that the King had been seen in the woods and they sent her to call me.“Um, now that I think about it, don't worry. I'll go back now and call his guards. They w

VALFREDRoshida was.missing.I sent the guards to look for my father and tell him what was going on and bring him back to the car so we could take him back home.I didn't want to take any chances. She couldn't just disappear into thin air.My dad came into the car to meet me.“Valfred, the guards said you were looking for Roshida. Where is she?”I told him everything that happened.“I want to go into the woods to look for her. I mean, I don't know what she went in there to do and she knows better but I'm sure I'll be able to find her if I go looking for her. I just wanted to let you know before I go.”“It’s her coronation day. If the enemies made it into her pack to get her, then that means they have her. I can't let you go out there alone. They might come for you. Take all the guards with you. I'll find my way home.”I know that Roshida has been a target to many since my father gave her the Blue Ridge Fortress and at some point, I even asked my father to take it away from her becaus

VALFREDShe perked up with a frown.“Really? Military school? What class?”.It wasn't very hard for.me to remember. Those years of my life were the worst.“Sir Red's Class. To make matters worse, my father made sure to hide that I was his son so I could blend right in. That didn't work out very well. I was bullied out of school.”Thinking back now, it didn't hurt anymore but I just wish that I could tell the young me that I wouldn't die if I had just stood up for myself.“What year did you graduate?”I looked back at her.“I never did. I just left. I told you, I was bullied right out.”She had a weird look on her face and I wondered what was wrong.“Valfred, I think we were in the same class. You're the boy I saved that day…the boy that left and I never saw again.”From the first day she said that story, I could already tell that I was the boy but we were on a mission and I didn't want to disrupt that with all that. So I kept mute. I guess it's a good thing it came up now.“Took you l
