Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 69

*****Paula's POV*****

My heart skipped when I heard the guard announce the presence of my mate and the Alpha of our pack. I could not really believe they would be here.

Why would they come? How did they know I or Erika was here? Who had given them information? And why would this person give them? Or maybe it was all prank. I looked to where Erika was, she had a stunned look on her face as though she could not believe the names she had just heard.

"Do you think it's true? Have they really come?" Kat whispered beside me.

I could not reply, I had no answer to that. I glued my eyes to the entrance of this very massive hall and waited with bated breath as Erika ordered the guards to go bring them. Her eyes roamed the place, searching for us.

When she finally found us, she raised a brow in confusion and disbelief. But when I heard the Alpha Alexander's voice asking of the Alpha of Iron Claw pack, I knew

it was no joke. The guard was serious, they were here in person.

The shock on all three of our faces when we saw the two men step into the hall was overwhelming. Kat turned to me. "They are really here."

"Yes, they are." My tone was distracted, as I saw my mate stood close to the Alpha, a look of disbelief coated his face. My first thought had been shock but seeing him in person, the mate bond was activated.

I was missing him. I dropped the plate of food I was holding in the care of a random guest standing close to me and proceeded to meet him, Kat followed behind.

"What? You're the Alpha of Iron Claw pack?" I heard Alpha Alexander say to her. The shock was refusing to leave his face, as he was finding it difficult to say something else.

As for Erika, her face was composed and blank. One would not guess what she was thinking at that point and if not for anything, I loved her composure. She showed no signs of weakness or any of those emotions, she looked every bit of the Alpha she was.
