Longing For My Rejected Luna

Chapter 89

*xkkxErika's POV*¥kkx

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.

| 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 likeand Alex. | wasn't about to cozy up to anyone being the Alpha that everyone should be

afraid of.

Finally, after the whole tof sniffing and all, Elder Gridshade finally stopped crying. A part offelt touched,

even if he had just tried to fighta few minutes ago. Even though | appeared heartless, | could still understand

that his actions were for his daughter. But | 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, | began again, "So tell us what happened."

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

"Tasyra had woken up as usual and Informedof a party she needed to attend. At first | was against it because

| suddenly had the strange feeling inthat 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. | 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, makingfeel for him a little. | watched him wipe his tears again, acting strong.

"Now, | can't tell the people behind this, but you shouldn't have ascended this throne in the first place. | had

warned you, hoping you would listen to me, but no you didn't." He brought up the issue of my reign again and |

instantly silenced him.

| would accept any other mockery and scolding, but not the fact that | 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.

But Jace was in the hospital, trying to recuperate himself and at least get back to normal. That was also the only

way he could tell us what happened to him and where he was taken to.

| glanced at the others again, seeing the slook from Earlier in their eyes. Then | turned to look into

Gridshade's eyes.

"Elder Gridshade, a letter cin a while ago before you arrived." | informed, waiting for him to act, but he just

raised a brow.

"What letter?" He asked in confusion and | released a small smile that never reached my eyes.

"A letter that stated that Jace isn't a blackwood." | explained and Elder Gridshade's eyes went wide in shock.

"What?!" He yelled out and | nodded.

"Yes, they said that Jace is not my brother."

"That's impossible!" Gridshade shook his head in denial as if he was Jace and my father.

"You talk like you know Jace personally." | let out in a disdainful tone and he shook his head.

"It's not about knowing Jace personally, I'm a friend of the Alpha. He never toldthis news." Gridshade replied

and | blinked.

Deep down, | wanted it all to be one

hell of a le, but these same

anonymous people and their messages couldn't be false. Why would they just make up such a lie and tell for no

reason.

"Where is Jace?" Gridshade asked again and | sighed.

"Pack hospital, he'll be fine." | said, but Gridshade didn't react.

After a moment of silence, my mind began to wander around the content of the letter.

Just how did they know that Jace wasn't a Blackwood and how was that even possible.

Jace not being a blackwood was far from impossible.

Father would have toldabout it, but on a second thought, Father couldn't possibly know that Jace wasn't a

blackwood.

| shook my head as if to clear the sudden fog that clouded my mind. "Elder Gridshade, we'll find Tasyra and bring

her back, you don't have to worry about that." | said with a determined look and | saw a little relief flashed in his

eyes.

He bowed respectfully for the first time, earning a surprised gasp from Paula and Kat.

| was also surprised, but | held it in better than they did.

Gridshade's nose was still a bit injured and bloodied, and it made my mind

wander back to Alex's actions just now of fighting for me.

What did he mean by that?

| already made up my mind that | would never forgive Alex easily for all he did to

me. It wouldn't change anytsoon either.

| watched as reluctance flashed in Gridshade's eyes before he said slowly, Don't worry, the news about Jace must

be all made up. Jace is a Blackwood." He assuredand | had no other choice but to believe him. Sw

| gave a little nod as | watched Gridshade get on his feet, saying he would be

leaving for a while and would definitely return.

"The search for Tasyra would commence immediately." | informed him and he nodded before walking out of the

room.

I turned to the others, "You all heard

him, I think these people are just trying to mess with us. Jace is a blackwood and Tasyra was taken by them." |

concluded and | watched them all nod in approval.

"But, if Tasyra was really taken by them, what was it for? Why would they take Tasyra?" Paula asked confused

and before | could answer, Kat gave the answer.

"Because she has feelings for Jace."
