Nyx''s Pov.
She descended to the ground with the wind lessening and the light around her
disappearing just like thest time. She wore a ck gown which red from the waist with a very
large slit and her long hair was braided this time.
Shended on the floor with a thump, the light and windpletely dispersing apart from the one
with kept her dress gliding. She faced me ring at me with her red ming eyes and fear coursed
through me as her gaze burned me.
"Well, well, well…" She smirked, "If it isn''t the Alpha King''s rejected mate!" She snarled at me, "The
weak, ugly and unwanted luna."
"What do you want from me?" I asked quivering as the powering from her doubled my fear, "I
haven''t done anything."
"You do not have to." She smiled. An evil smile, "You being weak, pathetic, ugly and a wimp is
enough for you to be hated." She spat, "And you being in my way is enough for me to kill you!" She
growled and I jerked in pure panic.
"I am going to kill you bitch!" She said and that pushed me as adrenaline rushed in me. I scampered
to my feet and began to run which was a very bad choice as I only limped few paces from her, I
couldn''t run due to the wounds.
Sheughed heartily at my poor excuse of an escape, "You should see yourself right now, so
fucking pathetic." I felt a force pull me back and turn me towards her only for me to see that she had
begun to influence my movements with her hands, "You should have left a long time ago."
I whimpered as she raised me up in the air with that same force and a felt an invisible hold on my
neck which began to tighten. I gasped for air as I wed at my neck trying to relieve myself but it
only worsened.
"I told you I was going to get Lycus for myself either by witchery or any means possible." She said.
And one of the means is killing me right? I choked fighting for a breath, tears began to well in my
eyes, "Please let me go…"
"Oh, should I now?" She cocked her head, "I should let you go? Are you sure?"
"Yes." I said without thinking and it was a big mistake. Her hands fell to her side and instantly the
hold she had on me was gone causing me to fall from the high point in the air and back to the
ground.
Inded with a thud on my back and I groaned out in pain as I heard a crack. Hera howled in pain
causing my ears to ring.
Are you okay Nyx? She asked me, I am sorry I can''t help you fight back, she is too strong.
I wasn''t given a chance to reply as I was lifted off the floor again and hit on the ground. This time I
landed on a rock, the pain seared through me and I yelled out.
"You can''t even fight back!" She kicked me in my side, "To think you are to be a luna."
"Please leave me alone." I cried, "I did nothing to you." I was tired from the pain she was causing
me.
"You can never have Lycus." She growled, "I wouldn''t let you! Over my dead body!"
He doesn''t even want me! I wanted to yell out but I couldn''t. She made a motion with her hands and
I felt w like feels digging in my back causing me to howl out in pain.
"Listen here bitch!" She bent to my level grabbing my hair in her hands and turning my face to hers.
Her eyes still glowered in anger as she stared down at me, "You are nothing, nothing to anyone,
nothing to him now and you will forever be nothing! Forget about him mating with you cause that will
never happen like I said I would do everything in my power to halt you both having a thing."
My heart broke at her words knowing they were true, knowing that I was nothing to Lycus or
anyone.
"He is never going to want you, never going to look at you with desire and if you know what is good
for you, you''d be best on your feet running away from here cause when Ie back for you I
wouldn''t take it easy!"
She stood up, gave me onest kick before snickering at me and vanishing into thin air leaving me
in my state with terrible wounds and thoughts of me being better off if she had killed me.
I stayed there on the ground in the dirt for a while before feeling familiar hands getting
wrapped around me. I closed my eyes as I was lifted off the ground and a kiss was ced on my
forehead.
Lycus? My heart leapt in Joy.
"Who did this to you Nyx?" It was Andros, my bleeding heart lurched in pain. How stupid of me to
think that Lycus would evere for me but I was d that someone still somewhat cared, Andros
cared.
He took me back to the castle grounds, right where we had been earlier that morning and he ced
me under the same tree.
"Who did this to you?" He raised my bruised face up to look at him and I looked away knowing I
looked uglier than ever. I know fresh wounds being added to the permanent scars on my face would
only result in a repulsive facial look.
"Don''t look away please." He held my face again turning it to his and he stared at me, his eyes
looking deep into my soul as if searching for answers, "You know I do care about you Nyx, who did
this?"
"How did you find me?" I croaked.
"That doesn''t matter." He said, "Who did this to you?"
I broke down into tears wrapping my arms around him and bringing him closer into a hug. He was
shocked at first but then he epted my hug drawing me closer and cradling me in his arms as I
cried my heart out.
"It''s okay love." He patted my back trying to soothe me, "You can let it all out." He words drove me
to cry harder and harder.
After a while, I was done. I withdrew from himying my back against the tree and he took my
hands in his.
"Do your wounds still hurt?" He asked and I nodded in affirmative, "Do you trust me?"
I looked at him with uncertainty, Did I trust him? I didn''t know that, I didn''t know if I did. He was the
first person I had ever known to care about me but I didn''t know if I trusted him.
"Do you trust me Nyx?" He asked again and I nodded saying yes. A part of me was curious as to
why he asked.
He smiled at me before entangling his hands in mine and I felt a calming sensation pass through
me. My wounds began to not ache as they did and I wasn''t as weak as before.
"You are a healer too?" I asked as he opened his eyes withdrawing his hands.
"Yes." He smiled, "Not really a healer, I just have mild healing abilities which can''tpletely heal
everything but it lessens pain at least."
"Thank you." I smiled.
"So, tell me what happened…" He asked again and I sighed before letting everything out. I told him
everything I had been going through excluding my past life, I didn''t want him to know about that.

"You don''t deserve that Nyx." He said after listening intently to my ramblings, "You deserve better."
"I don''t…"
"Shh!" He cut me short cing a finger on my lips stopping my words, "Don''t you dare put yourself
down." He said, "The King is an idiot to let you go and treat you like this, if you were mine, I would
treat you right."
I smiled highly ttered at his words although they were hard to believe.
"You deserve to be loved and respected." He said bringing a hand up to caress my scarred cheek, I
didn''t flinch nor did I push his hand away.
"Nyx." He murmured lifting my face up to meet his, our gazes met and not a word was shared. His
face inched slowly towards mine and I closed my eyes as I felt his lips on mine. I didn''t push him
away like I was suppose to, instead I rxed into the kiss enjoying the feeling of his lips on mine as
he deepened the kiss.
His other hand went to my back running his hand along it and that made me pull away from him.
"I am sorry." He said trying to catch his breath, "I had always wanted to do that."
His words were just empty whispers in my ears as my eyes caught sight of a figure leaning against
the wall, his dark eyes met mine and my heart jumped in fear.
His face hardened in anger, his jaw was clenched and I could see his fists balled by his side.
It was Lycus.
His facial expression only confirmed one thing.
He saw everything that had happened.
He saw me kiss Andros.
