    Nyx''s pov.


    Is he ever going toe meet me? I wondered about my mate as I sat down on the cold prison


    floor drawing patterns in the sand with my fingers.


    I have been here for over a week now or more. I am not sure, I lost track of the days and the more


    we stayed, I noticed that thefort we were provided were taken away too. We didn''t have a


    mattress anymore nor the nkets neither the meals that came in often.


    Amara and I were starving and we craved for food more than we ever had in our entire lives. Even


    the petty thin bread and soup given to other prisoners didn''t get to us anymore and I wondered if it


    was his new method of tormenting us.


    "Hey nyx." I looked up and saw Andros already standing close to his cell bars, "Here you go." He


    said flinging the bottle of water in his hand towards my cell. He had a very good throw, itnded


    very near as always.


    "Thank you." I mumbled as I went to pick it up, "Thank you very much."


    I took the bottle and went back to where Amara was seated. She looked up at me as I crouched


    next to her. She had be thinner due tock of food. I opened the bottle and gave it to her to


    drink from. This had be our routine ever since we stopped getting food. Andros giving us his


    water and I handing it all to Amara.


    He had been of great help. At first I never liked him since he kept bugging me of what rtionship I


    had with the King and I didn''t trust him since he was a rogue. But I got used to him and he was the


    only one I could talk to since our cells were opposite each other. Although, I still fear him since he is


    a man but he couldn''t do me any harm, we got bars between us and a bit of distance.


    I watched as Amara emptied the whole bottle of water and kept it aside. She wiped her hand over


    her mouth and looked at me.


    "What about you mummy?" She asked looking at me with worry in her eyes, "You always give me


    everything."


    "Don''t worry baby." I smiled sadly at her, "I will be okay you know, I just want you not to go really


    hungry."


    She nodded at me and looked down at fluffy, "We will be okay, right fluffy?" She smiled at it, "Fluffy


    says we will be okay mummy." She looked up at me.


    "I know child, I know." I nodded at her and went back to my sitting position, I couldn''t tell her that it


    couldn''t talk and I couldn''t tell her that we would probably die here if we went on like this.

    "What are you thinking about?" I looked up again, it was Andros.


    "Nothing." I sighed, "What were you put in here for?" I asked him changing the subject, I didn''t want


    him to drill me for questions or try to get into my thoughts.


    "A lot of things." He said, "Very scary things."


    "Like what?"


    "You don''t want to know Kid."


    "Don''t call me kid." I growled at him and heughed, "You are only barely older than me."


    "You do not know that." He argued.


    "So, how old are you then?"


    "About 400 years old." He said and I gasped in shock. He couldn''t be that old, he looked really


    young


    "You speak no truth." I argued, "What are you? A vampire?" I questioned him with augh.


    "Actually, half werewolf and half vampire." He said and I stared at him in amazement, I had never


    met a hybrid.


    "Shocked?!" Heughed and I nodded.


    "So what are you in for?" I asked again and this time he sighed before looking downwards.


    "I am here because someone hates me." Heughed dryly, "I don''t want to talk about it."


    "Oh." I yed with my fingers, "And your mate? Isn''t she worried?"


    "She died hundred years ago." He mumbled.


    "I am sorry." I said to him not knowing how to console him any further.


    "It''s okay." He sighed, "At least I got a taste of what loving someone was like and she was the most


    wonderful person I have ever met."


    I smiled at him still not knowing what to say as I wondered if I will ever get a feeling of what loving


    someone or being loved was like. I looked over at Amara and saw that she had fallen asleep. My


    stomach growled in hunger bringing me back to reality.


    "What are you in for?" It was Andros''s turn to ask me this time, "What must you have done to be


    held captive with your child?" His voice was teasing.


    "I…" I stopped not knowing if I wanted him to know the reality of things, did I trust him enough to


    know? Was I ready to tell him anything? "I am here because someone hates me too."


    "You are lying." Heughed, "You are his mate aren''t you?"


    My heart skipped a beat as I heard his words and my breathing increased rapidly, how did he know?


    I never told him anything, "No, I am not his mate." I lied, "I am just here cause someone hates me."


    "You are lying."


    "I am not Andros." I wasn''t happy with the fact that he knew. How many other people know? I


    questioned myself, what if he thinks I told everyone and thenes down here to kill me?


    "If you are not his mate, why do I hear himing in this direction with various warriors on guard


    saying your highness, she''s in thest cell!"


    Shit! I am fucked! I could here the greetings too with heavy thumping of feet, his scent wafted


    through my nostrils and I felt pleasure fill me which was soon overe by fear.


    Gosh! What is he going to do Hera? First time we are meeting him in person and I don''t know what


    will happen! I said to Hera.


    I am scared too Nyx, She said sounding really tired from theck of food, the wolfsbane and silver


    in our system kept weakening her more over time.


    "He''s really close now…and oh! I saw your face when you perceived him, don''t lie to me. " Andros


    smirked and withdrew into the darker part of the cell.


    His footsteps got closer and closer, in panic, I stood up immediately and went into the darker part of


    the cell next to Amara andid next to her pretending to be asleep.


    He was before my cell now and his scent filled my nostrils more and I heard his feet stop.


    Wow, Hera purred, fuck he smells heavenly.


    I rolled my eyes at her andid there. I could agree with her, he did smell like heaven if only he


    behaved like an angel to match his scent.


    "I know you aren''t asleep." His voice boomed, it was so deep and pleasant to hear. I almost purred


    along with Hera, "Come forward." Hemanded but I remained where I was.


    "I saide forward!" He spat with a growl and I hurried to my feet with my head bent and walked


    forward to meet him. I didn''t dare look up, I kept staring down at his well polished shoes and I


    noticed that he had huge feet from how big the shoes were.


    "Look at me." He said, "Don''t make me repeat myself." His voice was harsh just like Alpha Titan''s


    and I shivered in fear and took a step back.


    He reached his hand through the bars and grabbed me pulling me closer to him, I felt sparks run up


    my arm and I know he felt them too, "When I talk to you, you do as I say!" He gritted before pulling


    his hand away like he just touched filth, "Now, fucking look at me!"


    I looked up to see his face, he was damn tall for a start, taller than most men I had met. If it was


    possible for good looks to be a crime, he would be hung, damn! I had never met someone like this.


    He had short ck hair which was swept backwards, his skin was tanned with an nice shaped face,


    well arched brows, deep ck orbs just like when we first met, his nose was pointed and his lips


    were well shaped with  a pale shade of pink, I suddenly wanted to know what his smile was like and


    he had a slight stubble. I wanted to reach out my hand to touch him and know what he felt like


    which I did, a very stupid mistake.


    "Keep your fucking hands to yourself!" He red at me and I withdrew with a sob.


    "Why?" I finally found the courage to talk, "We are mates."


    "We can''t be."


    "Not again." I mumbled.


    "What do you mean by not again?" He moved closer to the cell, "Tell me."


    "Why don''t you want me?" I asked changing the topic, I didn''t want to tell him that I had a mate


    before.


    "Because you are an omega! a rogue! You are weak and pathetic, probably a whore too cause I


    know not where the hell you got that child from."


    "I am not a whore." My voice broke as I began to cry from his mean words.


    "What is your name?" He asked.


    "Nyx."


    "Nyx what?"


    "Nyx Evander."


    "Good." He hummed, "I am going to reject you."


    He said and I felt a stabbing pain in my chest. I wanted to beg him not to, to tell him that I will do


    anything for him not to reject me.


    "And you are going to ept my rejection and forget about me, we can never be together! I am an


    Alpha King, I do not need a mate like you."


    I cried more as his words rolled off his tongue, "Stop your crying, it is fucking irritating!" He said and


    I sobbed.


    "You are going to leave after the rejection and never set foot within my territory again, mutt!" He


    warned, "Is that clear?"


    I nodded at him and watched him do what I feared the most.


    "I, Lycus Dardanos." He began, "Alpha King of the werewolfmunity, the next inmand after


    the wolf''s council and the Alpha of ckmoon pack reject you Nyx E…"


    He never got to finish his words as a blinding white light suddenly shone through the room followed


    with a harsh gush of wind that threw me back against the wall.
