The Alpha King's Rejected Mate (Nyx and Lycus)

25

Nyx's pov

powerful wolves? What is she saying? I looked at her without uttering a word as her words rang in my head. What did she mean I was one of the powerful wolves, how is that even possible? I am so weak, I can't even fight. I can't even heal properly.

"Guessing from the way you look Nyx, I must say you need more enlightenment on what I just said." She said to me, "Come with me."

I nodded at her following her as she led me away. She brought me to a room which had a similar door to that of Lycus's office, only that it was smaller.

She pushed the door open and we entered.

I gazed at the room admiring it. The walls were painted white and there were a lot of book shelves against the walls which were filled with books.

Tall glass windows covered the far end of the room which were decorated with golden colored majestic curtains and right in the centre of the room stood a work table and a comfy looking cushion which was behind it. There were two other chairs before the table too.

"Welcome to my office Nyx." She said going round the table, "I can see you take it to your liking."

"It looks marvellous." I said still staring as I stood rooted to my spot.

"Take a seat dear." She gestured towards one of the chairs before her table and I did as she bid.

I took a seat and watched her intently as she raised her hand, directed it towards one of the book shelves, flipped her fingers and I watched the books move in awe. She reached the one she wanted and lifted it up with that same unseen force.

Telekinesis, I stared wide agape as the book came before us and was dropped on the table, "You have powers too?" I asked with my mouth still open, "Just like Lycus."

"Yes, I do." She nodded with a smile, "Every wolf born into the royal family of the ruler wolves have special powers from birth." Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"So, what are your powers?"

"We can discuss that later Nyx." She said brushing the issue off, "For now.." She opened the book, "Let me tell you all about yourself and the abilities you have and the power you could possess."

She picked up the book, it looked old, like some sort of book that would have a lot of spells and incantations written in it.

"This book contains everything about wolves." She began as she flipped the pages, "From what wolves are, to the types, the colours, the powers, the abominations…"

"I am an abomination." I said in a low voice cutting her short.

"You see my dear…" She smiled, "That is where you are wrong, what you are might put you in grave danger, you are…"

A knock sounded on the door interrupting our conversation and I groaned internally. Just when I was about to learn more about myself, someone had to butt in.

"Come in." She said and the door opened. The person walked in and a blush crept up my face, it was Lycus. I looked down at my fingers twiddling my thumbs as I didn't want to see his face.

Although, I felt his gaze on me as he walked into the office.

"Mother." He greeted his mom as he got nearer to the table, "I will be quick, would like to borrow Nyx for a moment."

"Sure." She said and immediately she clapped her hands together and vanished, now that was unexpected!

She left leaving me alone with Lycus and I wish I could vanish with her too so I wouldn't have to face him.

"Nyx." He called and I looked up at him. He was dressed in a royal regalia which I had never seen before. He had a golden crown atop his head, an ornamented knee length coat adorned his body which was paired with black pants just like the color of the coat.

"Alpha." I bowed my head slightly, "What can I do for you?" I asked politely despite the fact that I badly wanted to lash out on him and slap his face for what I had seen the other Night.

"Stand up." I did as he told me and immediately I did, he moved closer to me and lifted my face up by picking my chin with his fingers. I was staring at him now, our gazes meeting.

"Nyx." He called softly and he inched his face closer bringing his lips close to mine. As much as I wanted to lean in and accept the kiss, I couldn't let myself be used again. I had been used my entire life, I couldn't let it happen again.

I summoned the courage and pushed against his chest softly moving him away from me, annoyance flashed in his features.

"A kiss is a kiss, not two, not three." I said to him without stammering and I was somewhat proud of myself, "You are the king, you shouldn't go back on your words." I said, "And I am very sure you have other options if you badly need to kiss someone."

"Your lover Andros has been released." He gritted obviously very annoyed at what I did, "He would be assigned with some work as I can't have him being lethargic around the castle." He said.

"When can I see him?" I asked feeling excited with the information he just told me.

"You asked for me to be released and not for me to give you his whereabouts." He said with a smirk and vanished just like his mother had.

I was infuriated by his attitude.

what the fuck is his problem Hera? I asked her, one time he wants to kiss us, the next he is in another female's arms, I hate him so much!

Calm down Nyx! She tried to pacify me.

I can't calm down and now he wouldn't tell me where Andros is and of course he keeps calling him my lover.

Maybe he is jealous, She speculated and I snorted, him? Jealous? Never!

I blocked off our connection and got out of the office. Both my mate and his mother had left me alone leaving me with the task of finding my way back.

I could have gotten lost if not for willow. Luckily she had stumbled upon me just when I left the office and she decided to take me outside the pack house again.

I didn't resist this time as she assured me that we weren't leaving the premises. So I took up her offer, found Amara and followed her.

"So do you have a mate?" I asked trying to make small talk as she seemed to be the only one talking while I just kept quiet all the while.

"No, I haven't found mine." She sighed, "Have you found yours?" She asked, "Oh my that is a silly question, you have a daughter surely you have found yours." She said before I could give her an answer and I decided to go with the flow considering that my case was complicated.

"What is a mate mummy?" Amara asked me peering up a me, "Tell me! Tell me!"

"It's…" I stopped not knowing out to explain it to someone her age.

"It's?" She pulled at my clothing and Willow giggled.

"It's someone whom the moon goddess has destined for you." I said lifting her up in my arms, "Someone who is destined to love you." I said.

She shook her head and smiled.

"Nyx…" Willow said, "I have to go now, I will come hang out with you tonight okay?"

"Okay willow." I smiled at her and she went off.

I looked around and we were alone, it was a great time to talk to Amara now.

I put her down and smoothed her hair.

"Baby." I said.

"Yes mummy." She answered, "I want you to have a mate mommy." She said and I almost broke into tears at the fact that she wished I should be loved, "He will be nice to you, will he?"

"Some things don't happen like we want them to." I said to her, "Not everyone will be loved."

She looked confused at my words.

"I don't want you telling anyone where we came from baby or you talking about the bad Alpha." I said to her referring to Titan, "Please do not."

I feared that if where we came from ever came to light, we would be forced to return and I will go back to that hell hole with Amara, who knows, he might be looking for me.

She nodded at me, "I won't mummy, can I go play now?"

"Yea." I dropped a kiss on her cheek and she ran off after returning the kiss.

I continued on my way and soon came to where a group of warriors were training on a part of the field. I hid my face as I passed but I couldn't hide my smell as their disgusting glances were cast my way followed with growls. I broke into a run in as I tried to get away from them only to bump into someone.

"Ouch!" I groaned falling to the ground bruising my elbows.

"Are you okay miss?" I knew that voice anywhere. I looked up and I saw that dirty mass of blonde hair which looked cleaner now. Overall, he didn't look as dirty as the last time I saw him.

Andros.
