Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 63

*****Erika's POV*****

The doctor walked into the room. "Good day, Your Highness. My Lady." He bowed in greeting to me and Paula.

"Good day, doctor." Paula and I chorused our replies.

"Are you doing well, Your Highness?" The man looked at me, concern lacing his middle aged features.

"Yes doc." I nodded.

He looked at Paula who merely shrugged, then pointed at dad. "How is he doing, doctor? Any improvement yet?"

"Not yet, I'm afraid." He wore a mask of uncertainty and sympathy.

I nodded, battling with the painful constriction of my heart. "Not yet." I repeated as though trying to say it would make me understand what he meant.

"I'm sorry." The doctor's soothing voice drew me to tears but I held it in.

I should never show weakness in public. If I must be overwhelmed with emotions,

it should be with my close ones, in the privacy of my room. If I was going to take over from dad, I should be willing to be strong and act emotionless.

Even though all I felt like doing at that moment was cry, I should be able to rein them in and put on a stoic mask. To play the untouchable and brave Alpha Queen that was expected of me.
