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

13

Lycus's pov

I had left the pack house that morning having slight thoughts of my mate. Something kept pulling me to go down to see her but I resisted the urge and proceeded with my movement.

I couldn't let some stupid pull towards her waste my time.

I had Alpha duties.

I had a meeting with leaders of other were creatures and I couldn't let my insignificant mate ruin my plans. I kept having this bad feeling in my guts as we began the journey but I could care less, I had left my Beta laya in charge of the pack, nothing could go wrong.

i have this bad feeling! Spyro had told me as I questioned him about his uneasiness but I threw his response aside.

Half way through the journey I just had to order the convoy to turn around, the discomfort and bad feeling was now too strong for me to ignore and when we had reached the pack house and i caught her scent only to perceive blood also, i saw Red.

I had shifted into my wolf and raced to the prisons, the smell of her blood grew stronger as I traced it to the torture room and went through the door only to find out that one of the guards was before my mate forcing himself on her.

I had given him the leniency of a few words before pouncing on him and ripping his head off.

I turned to my mate and snarled seeing the state she was in and instantly she had passed out.

Now, I was running towards the pack hospital with her limp form in my arms. Blood continually seeped from her wounds staining my arms and I picked up my pace using my wolf speed trying to

hasten up.

I got into the pack hospital and raced towards the emergency room which I had mind linked them to clear earlier.

The doctors gave way as I hurried into the room and placed her on the bed but with my arms still holding her. I gazed down at her, her face was ashen and bloodied and so was the rest of her body.

"Your highness." The head doctor said to me and I snapped her head up at her with a glare, "You have to step aside for us to attend to her." Her voice was pleading.

"No!" I barked at her, "I am not leaving her!" My hold on Nyx's body tightened and I could feel her grow cold.

"Alpha, please you need to step back." The doctor pleaded further but I ignored her and looked down at my mate.

The hate I felt for her was overcome with care, maybe it was because of the mate bond or because I didn't want her to die as that would make me weak, it was not like I cared about the omega. I moved my hand to her neck and felt it.

There was no pulse. I did it again, still no pulse.

"You have got to do something!" I barked at the head doctor, "She is losing blood, she has no pulse! Don't just stand there, fucking do something!"

"You need to leave, please Alpha, for her sake." She pleaded again and this time I obeyed. I reluctantly withdraw my hands and stepped back as they immediately hovered around her to work their magic.

I couldn't keep standing there to see them try to revive her. I had to leave and that was what I did. I walked out of the emergency unit hoping that she would survive as I didn't want to be weak and vulnerable if she happened to die.

I sat in my office working through some papers when I heard a knock at the door.

"Come in." I growled and the door opened. In walked in one of the pack Nanny's with my mate's daughter sauntering behind her.

She didn't look haggard and dirty like when I last saw her. She was clean now and was wearing a flowering dress with her now clean teddy bear clutched in her hands and I noticed that she bore resemblance with my mate a lot.

She was as beautiful as her mother.

So you think the mate you hate is beautiful now? My subconscious snarled at me.

"Why did you bring her here?" I questioned the nanny shaking the voice away, "Is anything the matter?"

"She has been crying for her mother, your Highness." The woman said and I rolled my eyes, "She says she misses her."

I couldn't blame the Kid. It's been almost a week since she last saw Nyx and I knew that she would definitely miss her terribly.

I waved my hand at the nanny indicating for her to excuse us. She left the office and I turned my gaze to the little girl standing in fright before me.

"Your mother is fine." I said trying to be sweet which was a very horrible attempt, "You will see her soon." I had to tell her what I thought were soothing words as I didn't know how to console a kid

neither was I good with kids.

"Why do you hate me and my mommy?" Her small voice came and I stood up from my seat and walked towards her which got her crying so I had to halt in my tracks.

I looked at the crying child before me with my fists balled by my side as I didn't know what to do, this was super awkward for me.

"I don't hate you." I said.

"You put us in prison with no food." She sniffed, "Mummy and I want to be happy."

"It's time for you to go." I said and mind linked the nanny. I needed her gone as I couldn't bare or handle children. The nanny came quick and took her away leaving me back in my office.

I walked back to the table and sat to do some paperwork as I wanted to get off what just happened from my mind when the door was suddenly opened and in walked my mum.

I snorted. She was the only one who entered without knocking and I wasn't ready to argue on that.

"When last did you check on your mate Lycus?!" She attacked me, "That poor girl is lying there on that bed battling for her life and you relax here doing nothing!" © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"I gave her daughter a nice room and saved her life mum." I palmed my face, "How is that doing nothing?"

"Why are you acting like this son?"

"I want nothing to do with her." I spat.

"When will you l…"

"Quit it mum! I know just what you are about to say." I growled at her, "I would have nothing to do with her ever! She isn't what I want and I despise her the most and you know why!" I said to her.

"So what are you going to do when she wakes, banish her?" She scoffed, "Lycus, you need your mate." She continued, "You must care."

"Only so that I don't end up weak if anything happens to her in her state." I said to my stunned mum, "And when she awakes, we might have to go through with the rejection."

My mother was about to say something else when the door opened and in rushed in one of the guards at the hospital.

"What happened?!" I asked him already fearing something terrible.

"The omega, Alpha…"

"Speak up boy!" My mum said to him.

And he immediately did as he was told, "She is awake, your highness."
