FULL NOVELXO The Lycan’s Rejected Mate: The Second Chance Mate: Chapter 25
Anaiah’s’s POV
I was questioning everything in my life, I ran to the bathroom and sobbed, the door opened after a few minutes, and the woman, Alaiah walks in, she looks confident and very beautiful. She retouches her makeup and gets her phone from her purse, snapping a picture.
Her eyes roam to me and she scowls, ‘ Um. can you please move, I can see your shadow in the picture, ‘I’m stunned for a moment but does. She calls a number but they don’t pick up.
‘Hello, this is Leondre, leave your message,’ With my wolf’s hearing I can pick what they were saying on the other side, silent sobs escape my lips as I got my confirmation, how is this possible that my mate is to get married? Alaiah is huffing and cursing at her phone because my mate didn’t answer her.
‘All the time, he avoids me like am a plague,’ She says to herself. I wipe my tears one more time and go outside. I need to leave this place.
‘Ana,’ Calls Mutinta, my eyes are filled with tears and with the look she gives me, I break down, crying. She hugs me tightly against her and I sob in her arms.
‘I want to leave,’ I cry, It is raining outside but all I want is to be away from this engagement party.
I freeze when I detect his intoxicating scent, Leon is here. I watch as he steps into the room, looking glorious as usual and everyone bows to him, he goes straight to Alaiah and kisses her cheek. The woman smiles as h though he offered the whole world to her and she kisses his lips.
My chest felt like was being stabbed a thousand times and I clutched my fist, tears poured out of my eyes like rain from the sky. As if he felt my glare on me, he turns around to face me and his eyes widen in shock, panic takes over his features and next to him I hear Dan say ‘ fuck’.
I run away from the room, crying. I closed the elevator just as he wanted to step in. Sitting on the floor, I sob loudly. My mate betrayed me, he’s to get married to another. My chest constricts and I bellow. I feel hands around me, and only do I notice Mutinta is here with me. She holds me close and when the elevator stops on the ground floor, I am surprised to see the king there, pacing and scaring everyone in the lobby with his intimidating aura. He rushes to me and holds my wrists
‘It’s not what you think,’ He agitates, I scoff and retreat from him.
‘What isn’t, that you are not engaged to that woman?’
‘Ana, all this is just for show, it is for an alliance to merge the Lycan packs because other packs devising against us,’ he tries to explain but I wasn’t listening to him. When I look at him, I only see the man who has betrayed me. My wolf is growling in anger and she revolts against his touch
‘Were you going to tell me about her?’ I ask, wiping my tears, Leon doesn’t answer, just looks down in shame. ‘Just what am I to you?!’ I yell, frustrated with the whole situation. My heart hurt so much and I was failing to breathe.
‘You’re my mate, my everything, know I love you so much, Ana,’
‘Yet you’re marrying another!’ I exclaim, ‘ Am I not good enough for you? Is it because I’m only a werewolf and not a Lycan?’
‘No, baby, Alaiah is just-‘ He is interrupted before he finishes his sentence
‘His future wife and Queen, together we will make the Lycan nation great,’ She has smugness on her face and she crosses her arms against her chest, looking at me like dirt beneath her shoes
‘Alaia,’ The king warns but she takes a step forward,
‘So you are the rankless mate of his, I’ve heard the rumors, you are indeed a nobody. You should leave and never come back, for Leondre to keep his status as powerful as it is, he will need a Queen with wealth, and a strong pack to back him which a riffraff wolf like you can’t offer,’ The bitch hollers, I gasp as Leon chokes the life out of her.
‘Shut the fuck up, Alaiah,’ He grits. The woman is struggling to breathe against Leon’s strong grip and the color is leaving her face now. He throws her against the wall and comes to me.
‘My love, don’t listen to a word she said,’
I know very well that he needs strong connections for him to be at the top and I can’t offer any of that. I cry harder at the fantasy I had that he could love me and accept me as I was, I didn’t have a pack and more importantly, I don’t have wealthy parents.
‘Don’t fucking touch, stay away from me, please,’ I spat, he shakes his head and pulls me into an embrace, apologizing for hurting me but I don’t hug him back.
With all my strength, I push him back and with an inhumane speed I didn’t know I had, I grab Mutinta’s hand and run from there. We are in an unknown location but it’s somewhere in the city of the Lycans.
‘How?’ I stutter, we are in the middle of a busy street.
‘You, omg… Did you just teleport us here?’ Asks Mutinta in wander. Suddenly my mind opens up to so many people, voices I recognize and others I don’t are flooding my mind.
‘Find her, she couldn’t have gone far,’ That is Leondre’s voice. I can hear the panic in his voice and others that I don’t know, I close my ears with my palms, trying to shut out the voices but they are getting louder.
‘Oh, my Moon Goddess! You’re a wolf with special powers, but they are only two people in the realm who can teleport. Anaiah, it can only mean you’re a white wolf!’ I hear Mutinta’s excited voice as darkness envelopes me fully.
