Reclaiming His Luna

~Aurora.

Standing on my ten toes, I carefully yet quickly scanned the hall in search of Ethan or rather, Alpha Ethan. It was his birthday and coronation today.

The hall was already filled with distinguished men and women from our pack and beyond, but I hadn’t a sight of the celebrant, chuckling softly, I left the hall and made for his room.

He told me the previous day that he was nervous about his coronation, about his kingship, and I tried as much as I could to assure him that everything would be fine but seeing that he was not yet in the hall, I knew he was still anxious.

Ethan, my boyfriend, was a born king and a true leader, and with me by his side as his wife and Luna, I had no doubt that he would lead our pack to success.

I had been heartbroken and in pain, when Ethan and I discovered, not too long ago, that I was not his mate, but my pains were quick to heal when Ethan proposed to me three days ago.

‘I love you, Aurora, and I don’t care what the moon goddess says about you not being my mate because I choose you, Aurora. I want you by my side, always and forever.’ those were exactly his words.

I bit my upper lip to hide my grin from widening, Ethan was the sweetest man to ever exist in the world and I loved him too. 

Upon approaching his room, I paused in my tracks to fully identify the sounds I heard coming from it. The sound was pretty recognizable yet strange because it was the last thing I expected to hear today, at least not from my boyfriend’s room. Narrowing my eyes at the door, I padded my feet closer to the door, and a noise that sounded like a breathless moan filled my ears. I needed no soothsayer to know that the moan was from Ethan because I knew what he sounded like.

“Yes, baby! Yes!” I heard him scream. I felt the blood on my face drain as I froze in front of his door and my hand around his doorknob.

That definitely was Ethan in the room with another woman. His moans, and screams were enough confirmation but, I wanted to see it for myself, to see that I was not jumping to a deadly conclusion. The Ethan I know would never cheat on me, I was certain, I needed to make sure he really was the one inside the room.

Drawing in a deep breath, I turned the doorknob and pushed the door open, and I saw him thrusting in and out of a strongly recognizable face. My heart dropped to my stomach as my vision turned hazy, the remainder of the blood on my face flushed. I was nauseous, the food I had that morning churned fiercely and threatened to escape through my mouth. I pressed my palms against both sides of my temples
