《The lycan鈥檚 rejected mate》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Anaiah Pov My is Anaiah Ross, and I''m the most hated wolf in the pack because when I shifted into my wolf for the first time, I killed Tomas Rivers, our alpha''s brother. After all, he tried to rape me. Tomas was a pedophile who used to touch me in the most inappropriate way when no one was watching that''s why I''m not sorry I killed him. Since that day, the pack has been mistreating and bullying me, they beat, starve me and make me clean the pack house day in and day out. I tried to tell them that it was only self-defense but they didn''t listen and Tomas''s wife, Leah, denied all the usations and said that her husband was the best and perfect man but I know she knows the truth. Even my parents turned their backs on me because after the murder, they were demoted from their gamma status to Omegas, omegas are considered the weakest link of the pack, others are strong but most of them are just cleaners and help out around the pack. They have no major role to do like fighting in wars or any important pack political business.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. "Where is that bitch!" Lea sneers, I roll my eyes, of everyone here she makes my life a living hell, I was supposed to be killed after I killed Tomas but my parents pleaded and asked on my behalf, saying that it was my first shift and just lost control. I get out of my mini room, it is very small and almost an old walk-in closet next to the store room on the second floor, there is a mattress and an old broken mirror. I only have a few clothes, shoes and a collection of my favorite books. I get out of the room, mentally preparing myself for all the insults and beating I''m to receive. I groan. Once in the pack main room, I see Lea standing elegantly in a long dress and heels, one hand on her hip as she taps her feet against the floor in impatience, the other hand holding a yellow fabric that she throws in my face as soon as I''m at arm''s reach. I remove it from my face and throw it to the floor, annoyed. "Um..." I trail pointing at the dress on the floor, Lea looks livid now and I didn''t expect her to p me, no, I did, she ps me hard across my face and blood stters from my nose and I fall to the ground at the impact of her p. She kicks me once again in the stomach and I grunt. "I told you to hand wash it!" She yells, I cover my face with my arms as I face blow after blow. It has been like this since her husband died and I''m here to take all her hate. I pick myself up from the floor after Leah was tired of beating me, I go to the omega bathroom to clean my body, the cold water hits my body and I shiver. Slowly I clean my body ande out of the bathroom, using the lotion I left there and wearing the clothes I wore earlier. I go to get started on breakfast, the pack house has over 100 people staying here, they live in luxurious suites with their families while others who are unmated or without families have designer rooms. With only a few other omegas to help me, I prepare breakfast, there are sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, and beans, they eat a full English breakfast every morning. I start to serve when I see him, Amos, he''s our future alpha and one of the strongest wolves there is, he''s a big yer and Cassanova yet I still have a small crush on him Keyword; Small. He mostly irritates me and bullies me like the others, thest time I spilled coffee on his girlfriend Eunice, he pped me. My wolf wanted to fight back but I know he can end us in an instance. Amos'' eyes meet mine and he visibly stiffens and widen his eyes, I ignore his weird behavior and continue serving breakfast. Ignoring all the snarkyments they are throwing my way. I look at my parent but they only look at me with disgust and hate in their gaze. I swallow and inhale, walking away sadly. I feel tears well in my eyes but I don''t cry, I can''t be weak, I need to leave this ce once I''m eighteen and start a new life for myself, so I promised myself to be strong. I will survive, I will take all the beating. ''Don''t worry, our mate will love us,'' Beams my wolf, Chalo. A mate is a soulmate thatpletes a wolf''s life, once they are in pain, it is felt by the other and my wolf, has been wanting to get one since we learnt what mates are, she believes he will save us from all the pain and torture, he will love us for internity and we will have a beautiful family I didn''t have. I see a few students going to school and I smile, I miss school even though all they did was prank me but my teachers were good to me because I was a straight A student and would win in mostpetitions. The alpha and Luna stopped my education in my sophomore because they said they can''t waste their resources on me when all I''m good for is cleaning and cooking, plus, let''s face it, I wasn''t going to get into a good college. After I''m done with my chores, I decided to get some vitamin D outside as my skin was too pale due to being indoors, I smile when the sun hits my skin and my wolf purrs. I hide on the bleachers while watching the warriors of the pack train. I like to observe them while they train so that I can know some basics about defending myself, others are doing it in their wolf form, others in their human. I miss shifting, when I shifted and killed Tomas, they prohibited me to shift saying my wolf is dangerous and feral. The Dawnrise is a strong pack but not the strongest pack, and have survived thus far by maintaining a good rtionship with the lycans who are royalty to us, my alpha''s worst fear is angering a stronger pack hence every year, they hold a ceremony to renew their treaties where they feast and celebrate alliances that were made many years ago. I feel a hand roughly grab my hair from behind and I fall on my back facing the sky, Eunice is standing over me, her arms crossed over her chest with a triumphant smile on her face. I scowl and try to get up but a kick from in my stomach stops me. She and her two bimbos hit me several times and she snarls "Don''t make eyes with my boyfriend again!" I cough, making my ribs hurt. My wolf is trying to help me heal quickly but since we don''t shift as much as the others, my healing is not as good as other wolves. I get up to my feet with so much difficulty but she kicks my legs and I fall back down, she puts her heel over my neck, and I close my eyes, waiting for the worst. || what I have to do is press a little harder and I can take you out of your misery," She says in that annoying tone of hers. My heart is beating so fast and my wolf is growling menacingly even though she can''t fight back in this situation, she has a strong fighting spirit and most times has given in to me but I know when to quit and she doesn''t. I don''t want to die. My wolf resurfaces and using Chalo''s strength, I kick Eunice in the legs so that she is on the ground, those weak stupid bitch minions of hers scream, scared but no one tries to stop me. Anger courses through me, I feel the adrenaline pumping through me and I hover over her, punching her face repeatedly. Soon, the men that were training surrounded us, others are cheering while others are telling her to beat me but I know, Eunice, she only barks and had no bite since we were young. A tingling sensation rushes down my skin as I feel myself being lifted off Eunice''s body by huge strong hands but my wolf is not done with her yet so I kick and scream. "Let me fucking go!" I scream at whosoever is carrying me away from there. I jump off from the shoulder of the man who carries me and am ready to punch him in the face but I''m taken back to see it is Amos, the alpha''s son. He looks so sexy in his basketball shorts, his hair is disheveled and goddamn it, his chest is as hot as fuck. I can see his muscr body and I swallow thickly. Seeing that I''m staring, he smirks at me and I blush involuntarily, looking away from him. " Causing trouble, Omega?" He says in an angry voice, "She came at me first!" I retort. "You''ll be punished for what you did, do you know who she is?" He growls, pushing me against the tree. I wince at the pain in my back. He wraps his hand around my neck and chokes me "She''s your fucking luna," He grits. I try to hit him but he doesn''t let go, it''s like hitting a wall, my oxygen starts to cut and until all energy has let me, he finally lets me go and I fall to the ground, inhaling as much air as I can. He crouches down next to me and looks at me with a softness I''ve never seen before while I re at him. His eyes turn a shade darker and I know he is mind linking with someone, when he''s done, he clears his throat and orders " You will be locked in the dungeon for theing days," I widen my eyes in horror. "But she started it!" I croak, I''ve been in the dungeons a few times and It''s not a ce I like to be, it''s dark and scary, and the guards there are most immoral while they beat the offenders, they sexually assault women they like, it has happened to me a few times but I wasn''t raped. He stands up to leave but turns to look at me," Before I forget, I Amos Rivers, reject you, Anaiah as my mate and future luna," Chapter 3 Chapter 3 I was in shock and his words keep repeating in my head, I don''t say anything or even react. Amos was my mate, he''s twenty-four years old so he knew all along that we were mated but watched them beat and abuse me. Amos is standing over me with no emotions on his face, no remorse whatsoever. "Guards!" A few guards run to us, bowing before the alphas, behind them, Eunice is there too, her eyes are red and her perfect blonde hair is disheveled, her stic face with cuts. She stands next to the alpha and whispers something in his ear and after a long thought, he nods his eptance. "Lock her up, whip her every day until I say no more," Her voice is smooth as she orders but my eyes are fixed on my mate. A sting on my cheek brings me back to the present and I touch my cheeks, suddenly, tears fall and I don''t have the chance to wipe them. Strong huge hands grab my arms and drag me away from the two couple. Once in the dark dungeon, I''m thrown to the ground like a sac of trash and they exit the room, then, I feel it, my chest begins to constrict and a fire within me begins to burn terribly, I let out a sob and for the first time in forever. I cry for the horrible life I''ve lived since I was thirteen years old, I cry for my parents, their abandonment, their hate andstly I cry for Amos, my mate. I thought when I found my mate, he will love and protect me like a mate should but today, he''s taken away all my will to fight, my wolf withdraws to the dark part of my mind and I howl, feeling more alone than ever. Days passed by fast and every day, the guards came to whip me with very painfulshes. My back has cuts and tears of flesh on it, I bet I looked disgusting. I am only allowed one meal a day, bread and water. I haven''t felt Chalo since our mate rejected us. She is depressed and sad just like me. I get up from the cold floor and clutch my chest as I say the words; " I, Anaiah Ross, ept your rejection, Amos Rivers," I don''t feel the bond break on my side for some reason however, Amos will feel the it tear between us and will experience pain like no other. Amos Pov I was busy weing our guests for the renewal treaty celebration when something kept tugging on my heart. Something was wrong. My wolf, Narcisse was giving me a hard time, growling and snarling at me. There are times he acted sick, he hates me that I rejected our mate but I can''t ept Anaiah, especially as my luna, she killed my uncle "Of self defense!" Narcisse growls. "No one believes her," I retort, Tomas was a bastard but he was still family, she could have dealt with the situation better than to kill him in cold blood. " She was fucking thirteen years old! She had no control over her wolf, Amos, I can tell that her wolf is strong," He says thest part proudly, indeed, my uncle had alpha blood and was one of the strongest wolves in the pack but still she bested him. Anaiah Ross is not only the most beautiful girl in the pack, even behind her dirty clothes, she can ??????? make any man bow to his knees et She is strong as well, she has. endured so many hardships but didn''t break. ''She can make a fine luna,'' Breathes Narcisse. ''Yes, not ours, we shall make Eunice our Luna as my parents want, her parents are strong and have been our allies for years,'' Eunice is an entitled brat and a cry baby but I have to be with her to strengthen my pack and she''s a good fuck but mostly when I fuck her or any other wolf, I picture Anaiah under me, her baby blue eyes, herdong hair, and round breast. Her plump lips and gorgeous face are enough to make me cum-like a teenager for the first time, damn, she''s an epitome of beauty, just thinking about her makes my dick itch and hard in my jeans. I excuse myself and go to my office, I call an omega who is more than happy, she gets on her knees and takes my long, hard cock in my mouth and begins to move. I let out growls of pleasure and hold the back of her neck, guiding her harder and faster, deep throating me Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org " More, Anaiah," I moan, and the slutty omega bobs her head faster. I groan as I release in her mouth. She swallows my cum and gets to her feet, smiling and looking satisfied. "Oh my alpha you are amazing, as usual," She purrs, I go to my desk and sit on my chair, leaning and rxing when I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my chest, I growl, and the omegaes to me worried but I bare my sharp canines at her and she staggers, falling on her side in fear. "Get out," I roar, trying to breathe in and out. The pain only intensifiesContent held by N?velDrama.Org. ''WHAT IS GOING ON?'' i ask Narcisse, he''s also in so much pain ''Our mate has epted our rejection,'' | ''NO!'' I roar. Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Unknown Pov I didn''t want toe to this poor excuse of a pack but it was my duty as a lycan king to attend, so I did anywhere. The moonrise pack isn''t the strongest or wealthiest but they are doing well for themselves and have survived this far because of their alliances, however, the alpha and luna are not the most intelligent of the pack but oh well, at least they are leading to their best of their abilities. Once the celebration begins, they announce that they will pass down the alpha title to their son, Owen. I know Owen, he''s a strong wolf and might even be more capable to lead than his parents. Owen walks on stage with a she-wolf by his side, she has a huge smile stered on her face and I assume, she''s his luna. The outgoing alpha briefly gives a speech, he acknowledges my presence and people apud. Owen is then called on stage and says his vows " I Owen Rivers will lead this pack fair and to the best of my abilities," He continues and together they join their hands and the transfer of power isplete. We apud him and the crowd cheers for their new alpha. Everyone is dancing and pping. "Can we go already?" Asks my beta, Danford. He also didn''t want toe. " Not yet, we are leaving tomorow, for now, just go and entertain yourself," I shrug, getting a ss of champagne from one of the severs. Danford scowls like a child but it immediately goes away when he sees five girls batting theirshes and giggling at us, he grins and looks at me "I think we should stick around you know as in we can''t leave these prettydies in dire need of ourpany," Hr says, winking at thedies who blush profusely but I only turn away, Danford is the biggest yer in the world, despite being twenty four like me, he also hasn''t found his mate and has made it his life''s goal to whore around until he finds her, but I on the other hand, I do have women to gratify my sexual desires but only two or three and there are no feelings attached whatsoever, I can only get attached to my mate and Luna, the woman who I will love and the mother of my heirs. I leave my beta with his whores and interact with other prominent alphas, they ask about the lycan pack and all but I''m beginning to get bored and my lycan is getting agitated by every minute that passes. ''Mate,'' Saga growls in my head, immediately getting on four paws. ''Where?'' I could have sensed her the minute I saw her or smelt her. I frantically look around the party, but I can''t seem to find her, I rush out of the party to go see the alphas, I need to know if all members of the pack are here. I go straight to the alpha''s office but don''t enter as I hear moans of pleasuree from there so I go to the former alpha, they areughing and chatting with some other alphas. I march over to them "Has everyone in the pack attended the ceremony?" I all but growl at them, unintentionally, they take a step back and he wraps his arm around his mate. Everyone present shrinks at my alpha aura but I don''t care, I need to find my mate now. " Ye- yes.. they are," He stutters, not meeting my eyes. "I don''t think so, my lycan senses his counterpart but I can''t find her, only the remnant of her scent," The luna hides in her husband''s chest at my anger and it''s her who answers || Yes my king, all the unmated ve females are here," She cries, frustrated growl and the whole party goes silent, I take a calming breath but my blood boils when feel someone trying to force themselves on my mate. My eyes darken and fistball. Saga takes over and when he speaks, his domineering tone makes them all bow. "I''M GOING TO KILL ALL OF YOU BASTARDS IF I DON''T FIND HER IN FIVE MINUTES!" I roar. "My king, there are some females in the dungeon, they caused trouble, maybe she might be one of them," Cries a female. I growl as I rush to the dungeon. The guards there make way for me and as I run, her intoxicating scent is getting stronger and undeniably sweet, I follow it and her scream of panic is getting stronger. My blood is boiling when I reach the cell where she is, tear the grill bars and step in, the guards all freeze, looking at me with terror, my eyes go to the floor where a frail girlys, tears straining down her beautiful face and her ws are out, she looks at the verge of passing out and there is blood all over the floor. A man is on top of her without a shirt and I see red, my lycan wants the blood of the male that is straddling my soulmate and was clearly about to rape her. Content belongs to "Mate," as those words leave my mouth, the guards are shaking in fear. They recognize who I am and are gaping and looking between us, Saga wastes no time attacking, and within two minutes, they are lying lifeless on the ground. I get on my knees, removing the hair that was covering her face and shezily looks at me, her beautiful blue eyes look lifeless. When I carry her, she weighs nothing. She looks extremely underweight and pale.Content held by N?velDrama.Org. "What did they do to you?" I mutter, n¨¦t kissing her forehead, she slowly raises her hand to touch my clean, chin and drops it again before darkness envelopes her. Someone needs to pay for this. They had to even if I have to punish each one of them. Chapter 5 Chapter 5 I take my mate to the pack house hospital, Iy her on the bed and the doctors ask me to leave the room but I wasn''t having it, I''m not leaving her ever. My betaes to my side, putting a hand on my shoulder, I''m sure the people who were there informed him about the situation "Is that the luna?" he asks, looking at the girl on the bed, the doctors who are attending to her look very wary of me because my alpha aura is going crazy but I can''t help it, they were torturing her. "My Ki-king, I think you should... um, leave, you won''t want to see this," A tall nurse speaks in a stutter. "She''s right and already, the doctors can''t do their job well, bro, your aura is imposing," Dan says. I shake my head, I want to see, I want to know what they did to her. " No," The doctors turn her and tear her already torn shirt, and My beta gasps, I repress a growl and clutch my fist. Her back is red and bloody they have been whipping her, some cuts are so deep and unable to heal themselves. I move closer to her instinctively, no one should be treated like that no matter the crime of their sins, I see some dark scars as well and my lycan howls in anguish. " No doubt she is being abused a lot, some scars are really old," Mumbles the doctor as he begins to clean her, even in her sleep state, she flinches as the medicine touch her back and I hold her hand. "Sorry baby, they''ll pay for this," I promise her silently. The alpha family will bear ten times what they did to her. I let go of her hand and leave the room, my beta is calling my name but I don''t answer him, I just need to be alone right now. I reach the woods in no time and shift into my fierce lycan, with one loud howl, we take off into the forest to run. We have been running for a few hours now, the images of how I found my mate haunting my memories, questions bombarding my mind, what if I wasn''t there? What if I was a minutete? What would have happened? Would she have seen the day again? I run harder and push forward. After hours of running, I thought my anger would have subsided but it didn''t. I go back to the packhouse. It is quiet and everyone is still sleeping, so I go to their minibar, drinking my favorite whiskey. Feeling fatigued take over my body, I go to the room that they prepared for me to rest but I mind link my beta to tell him to stay with my mate. Once I hit the bed, I again think of my beautiful mate, I don''t even know her name yet. I want to know everything about her but mostly want to know why she was in that terrible ce I found her in, the dungeons only hold the most dangerous wolves but can she be? She looks so frail and perfect like she wouldn''t even hurt a fly. ''I can''t sense her wolf,'' Saga says. I did notice that. The tingles were there when our skin made contact but they were not as strong. We will find out what happened *** Amos Pov My chest was burning for hours and my breath came out in short pants, the fucking bitch epted my rejection, how can she? why would she? I thought she will wait a while longer to give me time to reconsider and take her back, I thought she will beg me to take back my rejection but no she epted it. I growl at the thought of that, anger coarse through me but I couldn''t leave my office because I was in too much pain, my wolf was whimpering and howling in sadness. I was feeling so many emotions but I couldn''t pinpoint which one, but I knew one thing, I needed to see her. I have to see Anaiah, I refuse to let her go. I can''t lose my mate because I''m afraid of what others will say.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org. After I calm down, and the painful sensations begin to disappear, I mind linked the head guard to get her out of the dungeon but no one answered, I couldn''t even feel their wolves! What the fuck was LOV happening to my men? Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org I marched towards the dungeons in anger and once I''m there, the guards at the entrance are in deep conversation, I growled alerting them of my presence and they stand straight, saluting me. I went straight to the cell where my mate was kept but the silver bars were ripped from their hinges, I snarled when I saw two men carry the bodies of dead men, they looked like were ripped apart by a beast. "What happened?" "The lycan king was here, he- he took the girl," I grabbed him by the cor and growled in his face. "What do you mean took her?" " Some guards were - um, sir..." He was stuttering and I was getting frustrated. What did the guards do to my mate? "If you don''t stop your stuttering, I''ll snap your fucking neck, speak clearly," I threw him against the wall, and he grunted painfully. " ''The men assaulted her and the king killed him, sir," He said with difficulty, my anger rose and I clenched my teeth, growling furiously. "Where is she?" I.. I don''t know sir," He trembled. I left the cells after mind linking some guards, they inform me that she was taken to the hospital. I rushed there and saw her, she was peacefully lying on the bed, her eyes closed and the sight of her like this made me shudder. She looked underweight and pale, her hair is disheveled and her features are soft as ever. I caressed her cheek softy and I feel faint tingles under my fingers. I bent down and kiss her forehead but stopped when I sense someone''s presence behind me and turned to look at the doctor. "What happened to her?" The doctor snickers and res at me, I almost growl at her insolence but take deep gulps of air to calm myself, I don''t feel like killing anyone today, especially Doctor Baross. She was a sweet and gentle woman. Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Chapter 6 She Was Mine Leondre''s POV I woke up at 10 am, shower, and went to Amos''s office. I didn''t wait to hear ae-in before I entered. I find him sitting in his chair. The former Alpha and Luna are on the couch with two other men. They all get to their feet at my arrival and bow. We exchange pleasantries, and I take a chair in front of the new Alpha. "I found my mate in your pack," I inform him. From the looks on their faces, it seems they already knew. Amos knit his eyebrows in interest while the other people in the room cheer forcibly as if they were wary. "I found her in the dungeon, being molested by your guards," I say, repulsed. Amos''s face shows anger and fury as I continue to tell them. A growl rips from his chest, and he hits his desk, breaking it in half. "I''ll kill them," he deres "Already did," I grin sarcastically. "What happened? Why was she locked up?" I asked, looking into his eyes, and he fidgeted ufortably. I believe it has something to do with him. He swallows thickly. "Which one?" "Don''t y dumb with me. You''re already starting to irritate me." He looks offended but doesn''t say a word. He inhales, puts his arms on the broken table, and looks at me. "Anaiah," he starts, and I repeat her name silently. Anaiah. It''s a beautiful name for a lovely girl. A smile makes its way to my lips. ''It suits her,'' adds Saga. "There is a mistake. Anaiah is not yours. She''s my mate," I growl and get to my feet. I''m in front of him in a sh, holding him by his neck. I lift him off the ground and squeeze his neck. His face starts to turn purple, but I don''t release him. How dare you im my mate, the former Alpha and Luna, are pleading, but I turn a deaf ear. "Anaiah is my mate, and I''ll kill anyone who tries to touch her," My words are slow and calm. I throw the little Alpha to the ground, and he gulps for air greedily. His parents go to help him up, but he growls and pushes away the stupid prick. "With all due respect, my King, she was mine first." Amos didn''t expect Anaiah to have a second mate, and who turn out to be the lycan king. "If the Moon Goddess gave her another, it can only mean you rejected her, especially considering the condition I found her in. Alpha Amos, do you lock your mate in a dungeon?" If the goddess blessed me with her, the moron must have rejected her. "I was wrong. I''ll take back my rejection!" He challenges. I see red, but I refrain from wasting any energy on him. "You won''t!" His father growled. I raise my eyebrows and find them staring at each other challengingly. "That woman won''t be a Luna. She''s a murderer!" "Father, enough. Anaiah is my mate, and everyone will ept her. I''ve made my decision," Amos deres. I don''t wait to find out before leaving the room. I went straight to the hospital to see my mate. I find Dan in the hallway, and I give him a tiny smile. "How is she?" "She''s better, they have applied some ointment to her wounds, but I haven''t been there to see her yet," "Is she awake?" He nods and points at me to walk in. I eye him, suddenly feeling nervous. What if she rejects me or compares me to that asshole who rejected her? I hesitantly push the door open and enter the room. There is a female doctor performing tests and asking her questions. She nods her head. "Looks better," The doctor sounds cheerful. The doctor notices me and bows. "My King! I''m happy to say your mate is healing well. Quite impressive actually," She muses. I nod, and she exins a few things before leaving the room. I''m left alone with my mate.N?velDrama.Org is the owner. Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Hello, Love Anaiah''s POV I slowly lift my gaze as the most enticing scent of vani and honey fills my nostrils, my breath gets caught in my chest, and I forget how to breathe. The man walking in front of me is tall and intimidating. He''s the most gorgeous man I''ve ever seen. He has thick jet-ck hair, zing dark blue eyes, a prominent face with high cheekbones, and a muscr body that looks like a Greek god. As soon as he entered the room, he dominated it immediately, and a wince escaped my lips. He smiles ever so gently once he nears me, and my heart skips. My wolf is saying something frantic, but I can''t hear her. I''m still in awe of him. "Hello, Love," His voice is deep and huskily sexy. I just watch him like an idiot. No words are leaving my mouth. "Anaiah," He whispers my name, his eyes looking at me with love. My name sounds so good on his tongue, and a shiver runs down my spine. He cups my face, and tingles run down my body. ''Mate,'' I hear my wolf chant, not fucking again. I shake my head, burying my head between my legs. I can tell that this man is an Alpha by his strong, domineering aura. Will he reject me? Oh my god, no, no. I feel tears well in my eyes, and a sob escapes me. I feel hands stroking my hair. I take deep breaths to calm myself. My hunky mate grabs my chin gently. I am facing him, and a warm sensation goes down my body when he speaks.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. "I''ve been waiting for you, Mate," "Are you going to reject me?" I ask calmly, bracing myself. He knits his eyebrows in confusion. "Why would I do that? You''re my Luna, my Queen," His eyes twinkle, and I allow a small smile on my lips after I register what he said. "What- What is your n-name?" I stutter my words. "Leondre Lavista," I nod and test it on my tongue, it suits him, it makes my wolf purr. I can tell he wants to ask something but is hesitant. There is an awkward silence between us before he speaks again. "Anaiah," Damn, he did it again. Has my name always sounded so good? "Hmm," "What happened? Why were you in that terrible ce?" His expression is darkening, and I feel ufortable when he exudes a powerful aura. Seeing my difort, he takes a deep breath and opens his eyes. "My mate- um- my mate locked me up" "I''m your mate!" He interjects with a growl, and I flinch, backing away from him, but there is nowhere to go. I instinctively reach for his hand and slowly rub circles on it, and he sends me a small smile that warms my heart. "Tell me everything, please," I begin to tell him everything that happened, and to say, Leondre was upset will be an understatement, while I tell him, some old scars reopen, and I cry again. He holds me tightly and tells me that it will be alright, that I have him now, and for some weird reason, I do believe him. My wolf is content in his arms, and by a sheer miracle, my wounds don''t hurt. The door opens, and another tall man with a build like Leon enters the room. "Luna! I''m d to see you''re alright!" I look at Leon, waiting for him to tell me who he is because I''ve never seen him before. "This is Dan, my beta, and friend," He says quickly, I smile and at Dan, he says, "This is Anaiah, my mate, and the new Lycan Queen," I almost choke on my saliva. Did he say, Lycan? ''Yes,'' How did I not feel it sooner, his imposing aura? Lycans are the most powerful of the supernatural. They are gorgeouis creatures and dominating. They rule over all shifters, and Leondre Lavista the King! What? I''m freaking out fight now. How is that possible? I''m no leader let alone Queen of a Lycan Kingdom! "Hold up, did you just say friend? I''m your best friend, motherfucker!" Sneers Dan was offended that the King only called him a friend, and not a best friend. Leon chuckles and puts a hand on my neck. "Are you okay, love?" He asks worriedly. I clear my throat and nod. So many things are running through my head right now! What if the Lycanmunity doesn''t ept me? They are magnificent, and wealthy, undeniably upper ss, and will he ask me to leave with him? "Yes, did you just say King?" He nods affirmatively, "And you''re my Queen," "So, when are we leaving?" Asks Dan before I can even think to process everything. "As soon as the doctors permit Anaiah to travel, and I still have ?? some business here," Answers the x King while the men discuss what to do in the Dawnrise pack. My stomach growls loudly, but I j it, embarrassed. It growls again, and this time I close my eyes, thear the Lycan King''s deep chuckle. "Hungry?" I bite my lips, not sure if I''m allowed any food. "Dan, get us some food and bring myptop. I need to work on the moonshine project before Marcus starts pestering me," The Lycan Beta bows and exits the room. My mate turns to me and sighs, he smiles, and I almost melt. He''s too HOT. Minutester, someonees in with so much food on a tray. There is fried chicken, sd, chips, and fruit. My stomach embarrassingly growls again as my mate takes the tray from an omega, I don''t ignore how she seductively bats her eyshes at him, but Leon doesn''t even spare her a look. "Enjoy," He ces the food on a small table. My mate watches me eat with a smile, and I take small bites of my food if I eat too fast as my stomach is urging me. I don''t remember thest time I ate this much, and once I''m safe, my mate puts the tray aside and smiles at me again. I swoon this time. ''Dramatic much.'' I wrap my arms around his waist, and we stay like that until the door opens, and a possessive growl resonates. "Get away from my mate," Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Chapter 8 Get Away From My Mate Leondre and I lie in bed, my back pressed against his front, and his arms circle my body in a tight hug. I close my eyes and inhale my mate''s scent. When I sleep, I dream about the horrors endured in those dungeons, those men whipping me, touching me most indecently, I begin to shiver as I relive those moments, and fear for my life creeps in. I feel their disgusting hands on my body, and I thrash, kick, and scream so they don''t touch me. "Anaiah," Someone is shaking me. I wake up to find strong arms holding me, but I get startled and struggle out of them. "Hey, calm down," I keep shaking and kicking until I roll off the bed. Ind on the cold floor, hurting my side again. "Anaiah," King Leondre runs to me, carrying me in his arms. My whole body is shivering, and I''m still in a daze. I feel the warmth spread around my body. The Lycan King''s huge hand has circled my waist, his head is in my neck, and I bury my face in his chest, crying. Heforts me, telling me it is alright and he''s here with me. The next day, I woke up to a harsh low voice hissing. "Get out. I don''t ever want to see you near my mate," That is Leondre''s voice. Why is he upset? "I just wanted to make you feel good," a voice purrs. That is Phallen''s voice. The bitch hates me to the core and is one of my bullies. She helps out here and refuses me to get treatment after they beat me. "I don''t need that!" He hisses. "Come on, I''m sexier than ugly skank!" She yells. I keep my eyes closed, wanting to hear the Lycan''s response. "What? Don''t dare insult my mate, whore, and I don''t want to see you again," He says and tells her that I''m the most beautiful woman in the world and that he only has eyes for me. His words bring tears to my eyes. "Dan, stay with her," The door closes. I finally open my eyes, and I find Dan smiling at me. "Luna, do you want some food?" Whenever I''m not with my Lycan King, Dan stays with me to make sure Amos doesn''t bother me. I sit up and give him a small smile. "Can I have more chicken, please?" I ask with a grin. Ever since King Leondre appeared in my life, I can eat all I want and have a taste for grilled chicken and ice cream! Dan chuckles, "Do you know anything else other than chicken?" "No, I love chicken," He stands up and scratches his stubble beard, contemting, "Have you tried seafood before?" He asks. I shake my head negatively, and he clicks his tongue. "Luna, you''re having that today," I pout, making him chuckle. "Just trust me, you''ll love it," He winks. I watch him leave the room in a hurry, and Iy back. It''s been years since I''ve been in a bed as soft as this one. I open my eyes to a screeching sound, "Who the fuck do you think you are to receive medical treatment?" Asks Eunice, crossing her arms against her chest. I roll my eyes, this bitch is the worst ever. Today she is wearing small tight clothes, her boobs are almost hanging out of her tank top. "Just get out, Whore," I say in a bored tone. She gasps andes to me so fast, kicking my bed and making me fall on my side, I close my eyes at the pain. With difficulty, I try to get up, but the little slut kicks me back down. I grab her leg and push heret against the wall. My bones hurt, but I managed to punch her in the face. She yelps, blood oozing from her nose. Such a weak cunt. Her eyes darken as her wolf has taken over. She smiles maliciously at me and clenches her fist, ready to punch me, but her hand stops midway. A growl resounded, and I tilt my neck to see who is releasing those aggressive growls. "Be- Beta Danford," Stutters Eunice. The Lycan Beta is fuming with anger. His ws are digging into her flesh to the point of drawing blood. "What the fuck are you doing here?" He growls, his eyes shining, and Eunice starts to cry for good now. "This stupid ve just insulted me, beta. I was teaching her a lesson," She cries, her angry eyes on me. "What are you doing in this room?" He questions again, this time in a firm and intimidating voice. He roughly lets go of her arm, and she scurries away in fear. Dan looks at me with concern in his gaze. "Luna, are you alright... I''m sorry for going so long," He apologizes. I inhale and smile at him. He takes me to the bed and sits me down. He looks worried. "Damn, the King will punish me for this," He mumbles. "I''m used to this, honestly," I shrug, making myselffortable on the bed. "What do you mean?" "Hmm, they beat, insult, and starve me," I say casually, but as I continue to list all the pack does to me, his expression darkens, and I bite my tongue. He is growling, and I pat his hand. "It''s okay, we can keep this little incident between us, and please don''t tell the King what I told you, Dan," I ask in a small voice, but he shakes his head. "Promise me," I insist, but he only covers hisrge hand over mine and says, "I can''t do that, Luna. I have to protect you and make sure all these people suffer for what they did," With that said, he goes out of the room, banging the door behind him. I exhale and pray he doesn''t tell Leondre, already Lycans fight harder than normal to tame their inner Lycans, and if he hears of this, the King might go ballistic and kill the bitch. I pick up my food to eat, and Beta Danford was right! It is amazing! This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?. Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Your Future Luna ''She''s a fighter,'' says my Lycan.

She''s staying in the dungeons for a few hours and will be whipped," He says while looking at Anaiah. She stirs a little and flutters her longshes but doesn''t wake up. "Get out," "She''s mine. I refuse to let her go," "The only reason you''re still standing is because of your Alpha position here, but don''t be deceived. I can take it from you and kill you," "Is this how the mighty Lycan King gets what he wants? By using his power to threaten his subordinates?" He growls. I take a step forward, and he takes one back.
