Return Of The Rejected Luna

Chapter 5

EOWYN’S POV

The clash between Alpha Blaize and Alpha Remus caused an alarm to the betas of the pack. It was terrifying, I couldn't believe Alpha Remus would still come after me, nor did I believe that Alpha Blaize would claim that I'm his mate and that the kid belonged to him. He's even aware, so aware that I am his rightful mate and the kids are his, yet he turns me down—keeps despising me in the presence of people, especially the so-called disguised devil that I call a friend.

I have a lot to find out about Alpha Blaize, seeing him seated on that throne even as an omega is terrifying. Everyone knows so well that he's an omega and not an Alpha to begin with, but the way he was chosen by the betas to rule the pack, and then his rank promoted to an Alpha all of a sudden seems suspicious.

When I look at him from afar, he's still the Blaze that I know—but when he's with Meredith, he changes and becomes a monster that I never saw in the beginning.

“Ma'am, the betas are gathered in the assembly chamber—and your presence is highly needed.” one of the maids announced to me from the doorpost. I glanced at the kids that were busy playing on the floor. I wonder why they've been mute over the drama that just took place in their presence.

Even if I ever have to change my mind, these kids won't let me. Before Alpha Remus, they made it obvious that they aren't leaving the palace with him. I was shocked, they even had to remind me that they would only visit Alpha Remus in their leisure time.

I left the room, heading to the assembly chamber. The betas were already present just like the maid said. The two Alphas were present as well—and then Meredith who was seated beside Alpha Blaize, glaring at me.

“Greetings, ministers of the pack..” I bowed to them, after which my eyes fell on my father whose gaze was focused on me. Only the moon goddess knew what was going on in his mind because he's the only one who knows that I've been alive with twin pups all these years, and he has always been against me returning to the pack.

The chief minister matched forward, standing between the two sides where his colleagues stood, and then faced me and the two Alphas.

“Your Majesty! We got a report that the Alpha King of Red Owls Pack is here to take back what belongs to him…” he glanced at my father and scoffed, making me think of what was going on about the assembly. “But, you refused him from taking Eowyn and the twin pups which she returned with. So, we the ministers wish to know if truly Eowyn, who stands to be your rejected mate, is back to claim the throne truly, and the kids belong to you.” the chief minister concluded.

My heart was pounding heavily, but I couldn't tell what was the cause. I took a good look at my father who seemed to be alone in the matter, and then at Alpha Blaize whose eyes were revealing fear. Meredith had given him a certain look that must have weighed him down, and then Alpha Remus who was eager to go back with me.

Alpha Blaize stood from his throne and marched down, making a long face. I wanted to hear him speak, to be accepted by him again just like he did when dragging me with Alpha Remus.

He took a good look at me and grimaced. “Eowyn was rejected by me five years ago because he betrayed my trust for her…and now she's back with those twin pups…” he went mute again and began climbing down. He walked closer to me and walked around me, which made my heart skip multiple times—so eager to know what he had to say about the matter.

“Those kids do not belong to me. She cheated on me with Alpha Remus instead of becoming my consort…” Alpha Blaize remarked.

Not again. I felt like the ground would open and have me in. If he was going to say this, then what was the meaning of all that he acted previously? Just trying to pin me down?

“I reject Eowyn the second time, I can't have such a female as my Luna,” he added and climbed back to his throne.

My heart sank deeply into my stomach. I stared at Meredith to see her smiling, and then at the ministers standing opposite my father—their facial expressions were all filled with happiness.

My father walked out immediately, even though the other ministers standing at his side tried stopping me.

“Your majesty, he just walked out of your presence and so he deserves to be demoted.” the ministers all yelled at his hearing.

I bet my father was too pissed off to have done that.

Alpha Blaize glanced at Meredith who bit her lower lips, and then stared at me with a pitiful face—he stood up, his face pale. “I therefore demote the minister of war for walking out of my presence. He will lose all the belongings he got from the palace and will no longer be guarded by the palace guards as well.” he declared and the gong rang.

I began sweating profusely. There's something fishy about the ruling pattern of Alpha Blaize which isn't supposed to be that way. He seems to be ruling under the order of some group of ministers—and then less powerful to make a choice even as a king.

Just an hour ago, he was claiming that both I and the kids are his, and here he is, rejecting me the second time and accusing me of cheating on him with Alpha Remus. Not only that, he demoted my father based on the wishes of the ministers.

“Your majesty…” I mentioned but Meredith ordered me to keep mute like she already knew what I wanted to say. “You have no right to say a single word here, just listen while the king and his cabinet conclude what will be done about this.” she shunned me.

Seriously, she has control and authority over me.

“Those kids belong to the king. I was confirmed five weeks pregnant two days after I left this pack.'' I spilt out the truth, but it seemed no one was concerned. They already concluded the judgment within them before calling me out.

The moment I let Alpha Blaize know that I'm the person who saved him from the well, I'll face execution because that will be considered as treason—but I badly want him to believe that it was me who saved him and not Meredith, I need him to stop seeing me as a betrayer that Meredith made him believe that I am.

What I still don't understand is why those ministers changed their minds and crowned the same omega male that they wanted dead.

I took a good look at the faces in the assembly, my hatred for them will never come to an end. All I know is that I must get back my position even if I'll become a slave in the palace, then I'll take my mate out of the hell he is in the name of being a king.

I believe so well that my father lost his happiness being the minister of war the day I was rejected on my coronation day, and I'd say these ministers planned it all so he would have no right over the throne since he was against them wiping out Alpha Blaizes family and wanting him dead as well.

Tears were struggling in my eyes, but I held them back. Not here, I can't shed tears here. I need to be strong at least for my kids and my father, so we can get back what belongs to us.

“With the authority bestowed on me by the king, and according to his wishes—I declare Eowyn the Alpha's consort. She shall rule under the order of the Luna, and is expected to never come close to the king without his order.” the chief minister declared. “Her kids will never be royalty, but can stay with their mother in the palace, '' he added.

I gulped, taking a glance at Alpha Remus who clenched his fist. “I accept to be the Alpha's consort,'' I replied with a smile, it's far better than being kicked out of the pack with those kids.
