Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 70

*****Erika’s POV*****

I stared into the face of Alexander, his shock and disbelief almost tempted me to crook my lips in self complacency, to gloat over my wins despite the price it came with.

To show off my reputation and wealth to Alexander, so he would realize I was not the common Omega he was seeing me as, but I stopped myself. That would be childish and unnecessary.

He was already seeing me as the new Alpha, he had come to witness my ascension to the throne. I kept my face poker. No feelings whatsoever. I wanted him to see me as a strong Alpha and not the meek, obedient wife he knew me as.

I watched Paula leave with her mate, his Beta. I hoped she would be fine because from the look on Gage’s face, he was not finding any of this funny. I would have to talk him and tell him it was my choice not to let anyone know and she had done what anyone would do for a friend.

But until then, I had this Alpha from Moon Forest pack to attend to. Whatever his reasons for coming, I had to take it professionally and we’ll take it to the meeting room for guests. He was a guest and I would treat him as such.

“Give me a minute, Alpha Robertson.” I was intentionally formal with him. There was nothing between us anymore, not even the slightest personal relationship. It did not matter what my heart was saying, he would be treated with formality.

I went to the stage and got hold of the microphone. “Hello, everyone”

“Alpha.” Majority of the crowd screamed, and it made my heart swell in delight.

These people liked me, they had chosen me with their heart. They truly were happy I was the Alpha, for this reason, I would make it my life’s work to keep them safe. Whatever evil that might try penetrate Iron Claw, I would, to the best of my knowledge, bring them down.

These were my people and they deserved the best. And I, Alpha Erika, would give them the best. I raised my gaze to meet Alexander’s, he was looking at me as though he still could not believe I was the one and same Erika he had known.

Maybe hearing my people scream my name in praises would make him believe. I tore my eyes away from his and focused on the crown before me.

“I am so happy to be loved by you all, this shows that my reign would be great and though not easy, but prosperous. I look forward to make you all feel happy and satisfied. You can continue the party, as I’ll be leaving you guys to attend to an equally respectable Alpha of Moon Forest pack. I guess my first duty as Alpha has presented itself.” I laughed softly.

The others joined In.

“But stay safe and be careful. Thanks once again, for accepting me. The Moon Goddess be with you all.”

“And with you too, Alpha Erika.” Voices from the crowd chorused.

“Thank you.” I stepped down amidst cheers and claps.

Kat walked up to me. “What do you possibly have to say to him?”

“I don’t know yet.”

Moreover, he was aware that Iron Claw was the strongest pack and we did not lose in battles. We had never lost; the Alphas before me had never lost and I would not be the one to break that chain.

Also, no pack dared go to war against us. They already knew what their fate would be, and so, most packs come to us for help and advice.

“Have you forgotten Iron Claw pack and what it stands for, Kat? Ever since we were kids, have you ever heard that we lost a war? Or be defeated?”

She sighed. “No.”

“That should tell you something. Alexander would not want to try anything funny, because he already knows who I am. Whatever fate that might have befallen his new Luna, Seren, is not my doing. I have my connection and wealth, I would use everything in my power to find the truth and make sure Seren’s lies and manipulation are exposed.”

“Alright. Will you be fine on your own?”

I cast a glance his way again. “Will coming with me make you feel better about my safety?”

“Yes.” She smiled.

“Alright, let’s go hear what the Alpha of Moon Forest has to tell me.”
