Rejected and Abandoned: The Luna’s Reawakening 42
ROSHIDA“If I may ask, what makes you think that you should get the house and the child? To the best of my knowledge, you already have a new wife, a baby on the way and you have the house so why do you still want a child from your last marriage?”The pig couldn’t say a word and he kept stuttering.“My King, the child is mine. I don’t need a reason to want him. This woman has no money and no home. How would she feed him? According to the law, I can take everything away from her as long as I don't want to be married to her anymore. She has no right to anything.:”I hope they could all hear just how ridiculous it was sounding.“So by the time you take the child away from her what do you think will happen to her?Have you thought about that?”He looked at her.“My king, look at her. She’s old, ugly and thin. I don't care about her anymore. She could do what she wants with her life. I just want her to be gone so I can raise my child and live with my family.”I wanted to slap him. So hard.“

ROSHIDA After the meeting, I had to see the King personally. I stood with my head facing the ground. “I must say, when the issue was reported to me, I was livid. Infact, I was so mad that I thought that at the end of the day, I'd strip you of your title. This has never been done before.” I thought my head was going to be gone too. “You will play a very valid role for your people, Luna. And I can already see that you're going to be not just their leader, but their friend too.” If I was going to be a good leader, then I'll step on toes. A lot of toes. “Thank you, my King. I just did what I thought was right. Thank you for hearing me out. And thank you for helping that woman. She would have had nothing if not for you.” He waved it off.“Oh, it's nothing. I mean, you opened my eyes to see how ridiculous it was that her husband got to laugh last after everything. I'll take a better look at the othe

VALFRED When I heard that my father’s court was in session, I rolled my eyes. I knew that there was no way that I could miss out on it no matter how much I wanted to. It was always so boring and aggravating. But when I heard that Roshida was involved, I didn't think twice before leaving my mother and rushing all the way there. What is the matter this time? The way she was able to stand up for herself despite being in front of my father and his cabinet made me quite impressed. The fact that she had changed not just one law was a brave move and I knew my father frowned against every form of disrespect and everything that seemed like one was going against him. The way she spoke so proudly, knowing that she had done the right thing got to me and I couldn't bring myself to look away from her. Even when Elder Rossi seemed to frustrate her efforts, she spoke back at him. He was the major reason I hated being in court. He

ROSHIDA After replying everything to Sophia as it happened, she sat beside me in awe. “Woah, I have to say that you really have some balls. You stood up to the king and his elders?” That man who thought he could make things work out in his favor was going to be my biggest fan, ironically. He was going to make things hard for me now that I was going to be in the legislative council. “Oh, did I add that the King wants me to be a part of the legislative council? I guess something good comes out of trouble.” My mind cast back to the palace and I saw Valfred’s face when I was speaking about Felix. I didn’t get to thank him but I was really grateful for what he did for me. The way he stood up for me like we had spoken about it before, not minding if his father would get mad at him for taking sides. “What did you just say?” I looked at Sophia as I popped a grape in my mouth.“What are you talking about?”

ROSHIDA I stood in the centre of the room, staring at myself in the mirror as the seamstress moved around me like a merry-go-round, putting pieces of material together and sewing them together. “Do we really have to do this? Can’t you just take my measurements or something?” I’d finally sent the reply back and since there was just a day left, we had to get the dresses ready. It was quite sad that I could not wear my normal black leather outfit. Apparently, everyone had seen me in it. “Isn’t the cleavage a little low? I don’t need men staring down my top. Close it up,I'm uncomfortable.” As if life was against me, Sophia entered the room. “Hold on a minute. What are we closing up?” “The Luna said she didn't want the cleavage to be so low so we’re going to close it up. Although, that will be a very sad thing because I must say you have a pair of very nice breasts.” It was weird to hear that from anyone, esp

ROSHIDA Sophia was right when she said that we were going to be so pretty. The tailor had called last minute and said that she needed to change a few things and even though I didn't understand what she was saying, I just told her to do what she felt was best. I didn’t know how it was going to turn out but I didn't care though. It’s not like I cared about going to the party so the way I looked didn't exactly matter. But as I stood in front of the mirror, I had to admit that this was perfect and yes, I was glad that they both stopped me from closing up the cleavage. “Isn’t that lipstick too bright?” “There is no such thing as “too” in fashion. Everything that happens is for a reason.” I let Sophia do whatever she wanted and finally, she clapped her hands together. “I’ve created a masterpiece. You should be put in a museum and not allowed to move. Unless you have to pee, of course.” Sophia had a

VALFRED When my father told me about the party, I was reluctant to go especially after hearing that it was in Lucas’s pack. I didn’t want to be anywhere near here but he didn’t give me a choice. I don’t know why he couldn't just go by himself. I got there late on purpose and asked them not to bother announcing my arrival because I didn't want to be here. What was the point of pretending? As soon as I entered, I walked straight for a table and just sat down. “My King, should I bring you anything to eat or drink?” I would rather die than eat or drink anything here. I didn’t trust that bastard and I never will. “No, just let me be.” It was only a matter of time before other people heard about my presence and I was shaking hands and accepting more greetings for my father than I could remember. I wasn’t just approached by Alphas who were trying to get on my good side, there were also women who were

ROSHIDA Did I expect attention? Yes. But not this type of attention. As soon as we sat down, we started getting approached. Well more like I started getting approached because Sophia just sat quietly behind me like she had done her part and was watching it all play out. Thankfully,there was an open chair beside me so I sat there looking like I was holding an interview in the middle of the party since the chair was not vacant for more than five seconds. They kept asking me for dances and I kept turning them down because not only did I not want to leave my chair, I didn't want to dance with any of them. They were all opportunists. “Where are all these people coming from? Sophia, help me!” Before she could respond, I felt a presence in front of me and I turned back around. “Hi beautiful.” I almost rolled my eyes. If you were going to disturb my peace, at least be good at it. The waiter

ROSHIDAI straightened out my dress for the thousandth time.“Do you think I look pale?” I asked Sophia who eas busy with something else in the room.She barely looked back at me before turning back around to face what she was doing.“I don't think so. The dress suits you perfectly.”Why didn't I feel that way? Tonight was the Queens birthday ball and I was in the middle of a crisis.“Since when did you start caring about your skin color and appearance?”I frowned at her statement.“What do you mean? I always cared about how I looked.”She gave me a look and then there Liam's dirty diaper in the bin.“Thats not what I meant. I mean, you're not like other women who care about lipstick and the way thier butt sticks out. This has something to do with the Prince, doesn't it?”My eyes widened.“You’re insane for thinking that. The Prince has nothing to do with it. Let's just say that now that I'm the face of this pack, I wasn't to look the part. I don't want anyone to have anything to say.

VALFREDI knew that Reggie won't end up liking what I was about to do but at this point, I didn't have any option. If I didn't step in and do something, they would doy heir worst to him and that might end up with his being very injured.Their pack was on the outskirts of the town so the drive other there was quite long. It took us at least three hours to get there.They didn't know who I was but I'm sure they would have figured that I was some sort of royalty since the Chief Guard's attire was known everywhere.Depsite the strange looks, I walked straight past them and went to the Chief's tent. He would be the best person to ask you deal with this.Thankfully, he was in his tent and I walked right in.He was in a meeting though.“My Prince, you're here.”He quickly dismissed the men in the room.“Please, take a seat. Would you like some tea or coffee or-”“Save it, this is not a cordial visit. I have very important things to talk about today and that's why I came here.”He seemed to s

VALFRED“Is Laura still with your aunt?”Reggie nodded as he stared out the window in thought. This wasn't my beet friend. Ever since he stared having these threats, I didn't know who Reggie was anymore.I don't think he even knew who he was, and it would be very selfish of me to say anything about his attitude.“I live in fear, Valfred. I wake up in fear in my own house because I don't know the day they would find out where I live and attack me. I don't even care about myself. If anything happens to me, what about Laura? How will she grow up?”The fact that he wasn't worried about his own well-being angered me.“Laura is safe for now. Reggie, I have offered to help you. Infact, I even asked you to let me get my father speak to these people but you have refused. All I have to do is speak to them and everything will be fine.”I figured that if I didn't do something on my own regard, then Reggie won't let me help.I stood up and changee my shirt.“Let’s go.”He turned around to look at

ROSHIDAJust as I'd expected, I woke up late the next day.I did feel very refreshed because I didn't know how long I'd slept for but I knew it was a very long time because the sun was already high up in the sky and I was very sure that there was no more Vitamin D coming in from the sunlight.Still very drowsy, I walked over to Liam's cot and saw that he was having a nap too. That had become my most favorite thing, seeing him sleeping. It meant that at least, I would have the next few hours to myself to be productive.I brushed my teeth and took a bath as quietly as I could so I wouldn't wake him up.There was no way I was going to go to the Fortress because not only was it already late to be there but I knew that I would eventually be pulled into work of some kind and I couldn't take that right now.I saw Sophia on a couch looking through some papers on my way down the stairs. She looked up as I walked closer to her.“Sleeping Beauty has nothing on you.”Sleeping Beauty hasn't been t

ROSHIDAAfter the hand painting, we went to a photo booth because Valfred thought that it would be fun if we took pictures. He stood outside while he set the time for us. “What are you doing over there? Come closer.”He waved his hand. “Oh no, you're family .I can't photobomb your pictures.”“How can you say a thing like that? We want you in it, right Liam?”He made a sound in approval. “So, what do you say?”He thought about it for a moment and then nodded. “Okay then, I'll come..but you guys should take a few by yourselves.”He was right. He helped us set the timer again and then I had to hold Liam up in a way that showed his face. The flash wasn't too bright and he seemed to get the drift. He didn't cry or whine in all the pictures and he only smiled in one. “Oh, look at his gummy smile. He's so cute. I love my baby so much. Valfred, come on.”He joined in and stood by my side. From the way he stood, I didn't like how it looked in the camera. “I can already tell how uncomfo

ROSHIDAIt was only when Sophia came close to me that I stopped.“All those slaps, they will never be equal to what you did to this woman. The way you beat her, the humiliation, the pain you caused her, bringing another woman into the house to take her place like she was some piece of furniture, all those were to make up for it. And they will never be enough.”They will never be enough.His mouth was bloody and he was on the floor.“She will get the divorce she wants and so much more, I will make sure of it. I don't care how long it takes, I will just make sure that she becomes happy. She has wasted twenty years of her life with you and now that she finally wants to make something of herself, you tell her not to leave you. I will never allow a thing like that.”There was no reason why I would let a man like this make this woman look like nothing before other people.Just like Felix, if he wanted to marry that woman then he might as well go for it. But what I won't allow was him to mak

ROSHIDA I was woken up with a case. Sophia had come to bang on my door quite early that morning and I wondered what part of the sky was falling down. “What did you say the matter was?” She barely even turned around to look at me . “I don't know. How about you come see it for yourself?” I tried to button my jacket that hid only my bra since she had barely given me time to get ready. I made sure that I appeared reasonable before I opened the door. I could see four people standing in the middle as I walked past to my seat. “What is so serious that I had to be woken up so early in the morning?” Since Sophia had decided that it was a surprise of some sort, I had no other choice but to wait for someone to tell me what the hell was going on. “Luna, we apologise for rising you so early. We understand the stress you must have gone through yesterday and we appreciate your efforts. But

ROSHIDA After the opening, we went back to the pack for dinner as planned. The house was very full and it like a ball. “You know you're going to give the speech when they all get settled in. Are you ready?” I could see that we were both very tired. “The only thing I'm ready for is to go to bed. Can't you give the speech?” She looked away from her phone.“The only time I can give a speech when you're here is if you're suddenly mute or deranged. Both of which you are not right now so no, I can't give the speech.” Jeez, standing in front of all these people to speak wasn't going to be easy. Because there were so many and I didn't remember the last time they I'd stood in front of a crowd to speak. “What on earth am I going to say? I didn't prepare a speech.” She brought out a piece of paper and gave it to me. “You are very lucky. I took the liberty to write you one. Go through i

ROSHIDA “Okay, just stay for a few moments. You don't have to stay for long. Just enough for you to be relaxed and we'll go back downstairs.” And that's what we did. We stayed in my office and talked about different things for a while and I kept on looking at my phone as Sophia's texts kept entering. One of her texts got my attention. “I think you should come downstairs.” I looked back at the Prince.“Valfred, I'm really sorry that I have to do this but I think I need to leave. Sophia needs me downstairs.” He understood. “Its okay. Let's go. We'll continue our conversation another time.” I know that it had been a very interesting conversation but I couldn't remember what we were talking about for the life of me because I was very distracted. “I’ll meet up with you later.” As we were about to part ways, I swe the reason why Sophia was asking me to come downstairs.
