Alpha Bane''s POV


    As I got into the pce of the Silver Moon Pack, I was weed by the Alpha King and the Luna Queen who smiled at the sight of me.


    "Wee, Alpha Bane," they both said in unison before the Queen decided to add a few words to that. "We''re so happy to have you here. Feels good to see you again, good Alpha."


    "Feels good to see you too," I said to them with a huge grin on my face.


    I got to where they were and I extended my right hand to each of them and they did the same as they shook my hands.


    Then I heard some footsteps and looked in the direction that it came from. There I saw Princess Aurora and Sophiaing toward me in majestic steps.


    My mood got ted immediately as I noticed how pretty Aurora looked. She looked even prettier than she was when she was in my Pack. "My goodness," I said within me, gushing at her immense beauty. It was clear that she was so well taken care of as her beauty knew no bounds.


    "Wee, Alpha Bane," they both greeted me before turning to face each other and then turning back to look at me.


    "Hey, Aurora. Thank you," I greeted Aurora, ignoring that serial cheat called Sophia. I didn''t have her time and I already made up my mind to forget that she ever existed. She was dead to me.


    After what she did to me, she ceased to exist in my eyes and that was for her good. It was the only way that I could let her walk freely. If I ever remembered that she was real, u didn''t know what I''d have done to her so I did well to always ignore her as if she was never there.


    "How are you doing? It''s been so long, you know."


    She bent a little and covered her mouth with her right hand as I asked the question and I noticed she was blushing.


    "I''m doing well," she finally said, turning to look at me with a smile on her face, only to see that I was staring at her.


    "What?" She asked, slightly hitting my left arm as she kept on blushing. I was d to see that I had such an effect on her. "How are you doing too, Alpha Bane?" "What do you think?"


    "I think you''ve been doing quite well without me, big man."


    "Well, when you put it like that..."


    We bothughed hard. It was an amazing moment and I wished it couldst forever. "It''s never quite that way," I confessed. "Things have never been the same since you left. You''ve been greatly missed by me."


    She paused and fixed her gaze on me for a few seconds. It was almost as if she was trying to find out if I was being truthful by looking into my soul to see for herself.


    "What do you see? You think I''m being untruthful?"


    "No... Not that. It''s just..."


    "Alpha Bane needs to get some rest right now," the Luna Queen said, interrupting our discussion at a very crucial time and leaving me somewhat disappointed. But I knew there was going to be time for thatter. I hoped so and was determined to make that happen. It was the only reason why I came to the Pack after all, not some festival that I couldn''t care less about.


    "I need one of the maids to take him to a room," the Luna Queen continued. "Hey. May, could you take Alpha Bane to one of the veryrge rooms for dignified guests? He does need to get some rest."


    The maid quickly ran to Alpha Bane and took his bag from him which he held in his left hand. "Ensure that he''s given a well-prepared meal as soon as he''s ready. Let the chief chef know that, okay?"


    "Yes, ma''am," the maid responded and tried to lead the way but she was stopped by Sophia who stood in front of her.


    "Don''t worry, May," she said to everyone''s surprise. "I''ll do it myself."


    The atmosphere got very tense that instant and everyone just stared at each other. Her speech got me so irritated as I couldn''t understand how she could be so shameless.


    After all that she had done, she didn''t even feel ashamed of herself, after all, she did in the past. She decided to act like everything was okay between us, probably as a show to the people around. What a fool she was! I was never going to let her get close to me. I opened my mouth tosh out at her but I felt a gentle tap behind me and I turned to see who it was.


    It was Donald. He wanted to say something to me and I leaned in to hear what he had to say. As he spoke, I felt my countenance change from that of annoyance to a wide grin. Sophia might have wondered what went on. She must have thought that Donald was on her side. She didn''t know what was going on.


    "I''d love Aurora to take me to my room instead. I''d be much morefortable in her presence than in the presence of any other person."


    Sophia''s brows narrowed as I could see the anger burning within her. It didn''t matter to me. She meant nothing to me. Aurora''s eyes widened as she too was in shock. I hoped she liked the idea.


    She looked at her father and then at her mother as everyone else stared at us. "Go on," said the Luna Queen. "Help him with his stuff. Please, May, you can follow them too and make sure the room is all tidied up? The Alpha needs to be veryfortable."


    We walked to the room that was reserved for me with my guard and entourage walking behind. I didn''t even think about turning to look at Sophia whom I knew was livid. I had to get some rest.
