Rejected and Abandoned: The Luna’s Reawakening 181
ROSHIDAOne thing I hated was people referring to Liam as a bastard. Despite the fact that he didn't have a father, he had me and he had a mother who loved him so much. And this man talking about him like that was one thing I wouldn't taken because not only did he not deserve to speak about my son like that, the fact that he belonged to Felix's family made him just as useless as Felix himself. He didn't know me or anything about me and the fact that he believed anything that Felix told him showed just how stupid and dense he was. I took a step forward. “I can take anything but I will not take any insults against my son from a man who doesn't know anything about me. I don't know you and I don't care to. But from what I can see here, you're disgraceful, bullying a woman who suffered at the hands of your immature nephew and attacking a kid who lost his mother! Don't you ever speak to me or my son like that!”His face turned red and I could see his breathing increasing. “How dare you

VALFREDAs I watched the car peel away from the compound, I turned back around and headed back inside. I had a lot of things on my mind to say to my father and all those people in here and nothing was going to stop me from saying them. Actually, my mother did stop me. “Valfred, I can't let you inside like this. Calm down.”I looked at my mother. “Mother please, move out of the way. Let me go!” Clarissa joined her. “You have to calm down. You can't go in there like this!”“Calm down?! Did you hear what they said to her?! Why on earth would father bring those people in here to insult her in my presence?! Who the hell is that man?”I felt like if I didn't say anything to support Roshida, I had failed her greatly. She hadn't deserved any of those things that they'd said to her. What my sister and my mother were doing was damage control but what was the use of ruining what was already ruined? I might as well just finish the job. I gragged my hand away from my mother's grip and stor

VALFREDThe house was silent after they left. My mother and sister had come in at some point and they stood at the door, watching the drama. My father sat down in his chair at the head of the table in silence and I stood before him, just watching him in disappointment. “What got into you, father? Bringing someone I had never met in my life for me to marry? Especially when you know how I feel about Roshida?! I thought I knew you better. I thought you had integrity.”He finally looked me in the eye. “Alpha Lucas has access to the sea port. His pack alone handles all the imports and exports of this Kingdom. And the fact that we have opened the Blue Ridge Fortress again means that we need his pack. So he asked for something in return for the trouble that they would have to go through with the pirates.”That was no excuse for what he had done. “So you thought selling your son out to some man that I didn't know t

ROSHIDA I couldn't sleep that night. Maybe it was because I thought I was stronger than what had happened. I thought that I could handle being disrespected and I was disappointed in myself that I had cried. But crying wasn't a sign of weakness. Or was it? Whatever it was, I couldn't take it back. I'd cried and Valfred had seen me. The Queen and Princess too. My eyes fell on Liam in his cot, sleeping soundly, not aware of all the words that had been traded because of him. He was a poor soul, who didn't ask to be brought into this world. He shouldn't have to be insulted or suffer for something he didn't know. That was why I was his mother. I was meant to protect him at all costs. The sun rose with me hazing at the sky. I'm sure Sophia thought I'd be in bed because when she opened the door, she screamed and clutched her chest. “Why the hell are you doing up so early?” “I couldn't sleep. What are you doing up early?” Liam joined us in this world and she went to carry

ROSHIDAIt was awkward.Maybe it was because I didn't want them to be here or because I was expecting one of them to say something first but right now, all of us were just looking at each other.My eyes met with Sophia who was standing across the room.“Roshida, I think an apology is not enough to tell what story I am for what happened back home last night. What Alpha Lucas and Felix said to you was out of bounds. If I had known that anything like that was going to happen, I would have stopped it. I mean, I have no idea why my husband would think to bring a girl for Valfred to marry just like that when he had never expressed her desire to be married.”I didn't want to get involved with anything that had to do with Valfred. In fact, I was trying to avoid it because it was his personal business and not mine. He was to sort it out with his father.“My dear, for the sake of little Liam, I hope you're not mad at us. I can assure you that my husband is aware that his act was soit of like an

ROSHIDAThe Queen was back in the room and the fact that she was avoiding the King's gaze was awkward. “Mum, just look at him. Roshida already said she forgave him.”The Queen looked at me for confirmation and I nodded quicky. “What about Valfred? He says he's not coming back home unless you forgive him.”Well, that's not going to be easy. “I’ll go with Clarissa to see him. Don't worry about it.”The issue between the Prince and I was not connected to what happened yesterday. But I didn't want to involve them in it. Sophia came in and told me that lunch was served. At least, I had to host them well, seeing as they were here. The tension has calmed down a bit at least. “Your Majesties, lunch is served. Please, let's go to the dining room.”They walked ahead of us while Clarisaa and I walked together. “Are you serious about going to see Valfred?” I nodded but I didn't know if I meant it. Did I want to see him? I didn't know. Did I want to speak to him? Not so much. But I wanted

ROSHIDA“You didn't do anything wrong. I just want to know one thing. What's going on between you and my brother? I mean, what are the both of you doing?”Wy would she think there was something going on? I didn't know. Had Valfred told her anything?I mean, they were siblings. He probably told her about the kisses. All of them.“Why would you ask that? Do you think something is going on or did he tell you something?”I could see her hesitation to answer that question. Looking at her properly, Clarissa is actually very beautiful.She Carrie elegance around with her like a shadow and even the way she talked or gestured, you could just feel she was royalty.“Its not about what he told me. it's about what you feel you are to each other. I'm not blind, Roshida. I can see the way you look at him, the stolen glances, the long stares, the smiles…you can't tell me that there's nothing going on.”Well, I guess I could say that she was smart enough to notice all that. I turned her around to face

ROSHIDA“Come in. I hope dad didn't send you.”As we entered the house, I saw Reggie sitting on the couch and he waved to me.The place was actually very beautiful.“Dad didn't send me. I came because someone wanted to talk to you.”Valfred hadn't even turned around for once to see that I was standing in the room.“Who was the person who wanted to speak to me? If it's mum, I'll call her later. You didn't have to come all the way out here. It's too far. And you didn't even tell me you were coming.”What the hell was he doing that he hadn't even turned around for once.Clarissa dropped her bag on the couch.“I’m not the one who wants to speak to you. It's Roshida.”I was expecting him to turn around and then look but he didn't. He did pause though.“What did she say? She's still mad at me. She hasn't responded to my texts. When you went to see her today, did she look like she had been crying?”Clarissa looked at me and I shook my head. If he knew, it would just make him more angry.“No

ROSHIDAI kept looking at my phone to check if he had called me back.I mean, even if he were busy, he should have known that we didn't have a proper conversation and called me back to check what I really wanted.But then again, he didn't owe me anything. After all, Clarissa already said that he was busy.When I learnt that the port where he had work was in Alpha Lucas' pack, I sighed loudly. I didn't want a reason to be here after what happened but then, I had to choose between that and waiting for the Prince to come back when I didn't know when he would come back.So the best thing was just to go to him. I'll tell him how I feel and I'll just leave so I don't embarrass myself. Yes, that's what you're going to do.“Stop thinking and focus on the road.”Clarissa's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I'd forgotten that she had called me earlier and asked about what happened and I told her.“Took you long enough.”That was her response. How could I be the only one to not know that I l

VALFREDReggie and I shared a look.The conversation that had just happened in the last thirty minutes was one I never thought would happen.The car was completely silent and this was the most awkward situation I had ever been in.“So basically, you're telling me that if I dont marry your daughter, you will launch an attack against the Lycan Kingdom?”Alpha Lucas smiled and nodded.“That’s about right. I mean, what's there not to attack? Your father's family has hoarded the monarchy for centuries while my family had to sit on the sidelines and watch. We were not made to be Alphas! We were made to be Kings!”Alpha Lucas' pack was not one of the small ones. As a matter of fact, since he owned the port, it was a huge advantage to him because he was in charge of all the trade that was coming in.But he knew and I knew that that alone wouldn't be able for him to overthrow my father. He had allies, he had help. My main aim was to know who his help was.“You’re not that brave. Tell me, who h

ROSHIDAI sat with my phone in my hand.I didn't know if I should make this call or not. Sophia's words still resonated in my head even after hours had happened and I felt so bad.Now that she had said it, everything that he had done began to make sense. Gosh, how could I be so blind to this?I didn't even know that my thumb has mistakenly made the call that I been thinking about making.“Hello?”I pressed the phone to my ear.“Gosh, I'm so sorry, I had no idea that I made the call already. How're you, Clarissa?”She sighed.“I’m doing okay. How're you?”I didn't know if I should answer that question.“Clarissa, I wanted to ask you something. The day of the Queen's party, when Valfred was talking, your father said that he revoked the Crown because of what happened. What exactly did Valfred say?”“Well, he didn't officially revoke it. He just said it in anger and my father didn't honor it because he knew that Valfred wasn't serious about it. He said that if he can't have you, he'd rath

ROSHIDAThe room was silent.It had been silent since I got back from the coast. I didn't know what was wrong and dhene Sophia had asked me earlier, I didn't know what to say.I'd been doing a lot of thinking, thinking that would allow me to put things in order so that the thoughts going through my head would make sense.“You know, if I didn't know you any better, I would have said that you were pregnant.”I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her,confused as to where that thought was coming from.“What did you say? Why the hell would that be the first thing that comes to your mind?”She walked over to me, waving at Liam that was in my arms.“Because I believe that is the only thing that you will do that you won't be able to talk to me about. You've been a shadow of yourself for days and I've been asking you what is going on but you don't want to say anything. Have you done something I won't be proud of or what is the matter? You got back from the coast and you've been looking mo

VALFRED“If I feel any bite in my sleep, I assure you that you're going to die.”Reggie had been complaining about the hotel from the minute we stepped out of the car. He didn't like sleeping out and I knew that but it slipped my mind to tell him that it was going to take us at least three days to come back. “Reggie, the reviews say this is the best hotel in the area. I don't know what else to tell you. It does look nice, don't you think?” My optimism was not appreciated and the look he gave me let me know. He went to take a shower while I settled into the desk and began to look through the files. This was not the first time that I would be clearing out weapons but this was the first time I'd be offloading them from the ship. I usually only saw them when they brought them to the house for inspection. At some point, Alpha Lucas was going to hear of my presence even though I didn't want him to. I mean, seeing as our first meeting wasn't exactly one of pleasure,.it is expected that

VALFREDI came back home, just like everyone wanted me to.I wasn't happy about it because I knew that my mother and Clarissa would be in my business and I know that they were just trying to care for me..But I didn't need that right now. All I wanted was to be left alone.I don’t remember the last time I asked my father to give me work but that morning, I walked into my father's office, hoping that he would not be busy.“Good morning, father.”He and Mark looked up at me, obviously not realizing that I was walked in because of how busy they were.”Good morning, Father.”I'd forgotten he didn't know that I was back yet.”Valfred, you're back. Is there a problem?”.Mark stood up immediately.“Your majesty, I'll leave you and the Prince alone.”I didn't speak until I heard the door close behind me..“There is nothing wrong, father. I apologize for.the tone with which I spoke to you that day. I was angry, very angry. Please know that I mean no disrespect to you.”He stood up and walked o

VALFRED“What if I don't want to be a free man?” She turned around to look at me. She looked so exhausted. “What on earth are you talking about? Why wouldn't you want to be a free man to be able to make your own choices?”I don't know if she was doing this on purpose or she truly didn't know how I felt. “Roshida, if I have offended you in any way, I would like to apologize.”“Valfred, what are you talking about? How did you offend me? You haven't done anything wrong. I asked you why you don't want to be a free man.”For the first time in my life, words failed me. I didn't know the way to express what I felt for her. That was because I didn't even understand what I felt. It was enveloping every part of my senses. “Have you ever for one second, seen me as more than the Prince?”She didn't answer immediately. “Where is that question coming from?” “Your answer would let me know how to answer your question.”The fact that she hadn't taken her hand away was hope that she was still he
