Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 89

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

We sat before Elder Gridshade, patiently waiting for his explanation since the only thing he had been doing for the past few minutes was sniffing and sobbing.

I glanced at the others who also seemed impatient as a frown appeared on their faces. Paula was calm as always while sitting close to her mate, Gage.

Kat sat alone, just like me and Alex. I wasn't about to cozy up to anyone being the Alpha that everyone should be afraid of.

Finally, after the whole time of sniffing and all, Elder Gridshade finally stopped crying. A part of me felt touched, even if he had just tried to fight me a few minutes ago. Even though I appeared heartless, I could still understand that his actions were for his daughter. But I also couldn't stand by and watch him insult my position as Alpha, talking shit about women ascending or not ascending as Alpha.

After we were sure that he had calmed down, I began again, "So tell us what happened."

He glanced up at me and our eyes met. He then kept on a poker face as he began his explanation.

"Tasyra had woken up as usual and Informed me of a party she needed to attend. At first I was against it because I suddenly had the strange feeling in me that things wouldn't turn out well." He paused for a few minutes and we all gave him an expectant look, waiting for the rest of the words.

"I asked her not to attend the party, but she insisted, saying it was for a friend. I relented after much pressure from her and I let her go for that party. But on her way back from the party, she gets abducted." His voice broke towards the ending, making me feel for him a little. I watched him wipe his tears again, acting strong.

"Now, I can't tell the people behind this, but you shouldn't have ascended this throne in the first place. I had warned you, hoping you would listen to me, but no you didn't." He brought up the issue of my reign again and I instantly silenced him.

I would accept any other mockery and scolding, but not the fact that I wasn't allowed to sit on my father's throne.

Also, that letter from earlier that had the last text that Jace wasn't my brother, it still needed lots of confirmation.

If Jace was really not a Blackwood, then it would be pointless talking about the throne. He couldn't ascend the throne even if he wanted to.
