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

5

Nyx's POV

"No!" I cried out as I rushed over to her with tears already falling from my eyes. I couldn't believe the sight before me.

Amara was laying on the floor in a pool of blood, her own blood. I fell to my knees beside her and lifted her.

"What happened baby?" I asked, "What happened to you?"

"It's the Beta." She coughed and trickles of blood came out of her mouth, "It was when he kicked me."

I didn't say anything. I quickly rushed to the mattress and laid her on it. I couldn't take her to the pack doctor as we were denied medical access and I couldn't heal her myself.

I smoothed her blonde hair to the side and caressed her face as I watched it get paler, she was getting weaker and she kept coughing the spurts of blood coming from her mouth. I lifted her shirt up and saw that she had a gash like wound on her torso.

How dear he do this to our pup?! Hera growled, I will fucking end him.

Calm down Hera, I said to her, we have got to find a way to get her healed first and I don't know what to do.

Hera went silent for a while and I continued gazing at Amara. She got sick often ever since she shifted at the age of three. The rigorous process of shifting had weakened her a lot and it turned out that she was just a silver wolf like me but unlike her, I hadn't experienced premature shifting.

That's it! Hera said, Tell her to communicate with her wolf to help her heal, I am sure that will work.

Let's try it, I agreed with Hera and moved to sit Amara up.

"Baby…" I said to her leaning her against the wall.

"Yes, Mommy." She smiled weakly at me, "I feel so woozy." She said, "Am I going to die? Am I going to meet grand mama up there?"

"No, baby." I shook my head crying at her words, "You are not going to die, you are going to live for me, you will be okay."

"The Beta's mate said I was going to die." She sniffed.

"No baby, you won't." I took her face in my hands, "I want you to do something for me baby."

"Whatt is it mummy?" She asked and I smiled at her thinking of how smart she was for her age, I knew she could do this.

"I want you to talk to your wolf, Cora." I said to her, "I want you to tell Cora to help you heal."

"Okay mummy but Cora feels tired just like me."

"That is why I want you to try so you wouldn't feel tired anymore."

She nodded and went silent for a while as she talked to her wolf. Soon enough I saw her straining herself meaning she tried to heal. I raised her shirt up looking at the wound and I saw it close up gradually. My face lit up in a smile.

"You did it, tou both did it." I shook her face playfully, "Now I want you to cough to see if there is blood." She did it and there was no sign of blood.

"You see…" I hugged her tightly, "You are okay baby."

She nodded at me with a smile, "I am hungry."

My face fell at her words and I looked back to the trampled pancakes on the floor, they were not edible in this state, "Love, I don't think there will be food tonight."

"I understand mummy." She lay down on the bed, "I will go to sleep now…"

"Mummy will get you something to eat tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes." She nodded, "And one day we will live in a big house with plenty of food and maybe I can get a daddy, it will be fine and we will be happy." She giggled exposing her lost tooth gap. She looked so angelic despite the grime covering her face with her roughed up and bloodied clothes.

"Go to sleep child." I placed a kiss on her cheek as she closed her eyes falling into a peaceful slumber.

I laid down next to her hoping to get some sleep too as a crossed my hand over her.

I couldn't sleep that night as I could feel that Hera wasn't settled. She had mixed up emotions of anger and anxiety. I sat up on the bed wanting to talk to her.

What's wrong Hera?

Something is about to happen! She said, I can feel it.

I don't get you…

First off, I am mad at the fact that my pup almost died because of that stupid Beta and secondly I feel anxious for a reason I know not off, I feel like something is about to happen.

Hera, let's go to sleep.

I am thirsty, She said, we need to get water.

I rolled my eyes at her and stood up. I looked over at Amara to ensure that she was sleeping before leaving the basement to go get water.

I threw the bottle of water inside the trashcan and began to exit the kitchen really happy that I have been here without bumping into someone when I felt a hand wrap around my neck, it was the Beta.

"Shouldn't you be asleep?" He whispered in my ear, "Trying to steal something?"

"Please, let me go." I shivered.

"What if I say no?" He laughed, "And kick you to the ground just like I kicked that pup of yours!"

That's it! Hera growled at the mention of Amara, let me at the bastard!

I didn't fight her this time as she took control. Her canines got elongated as her claws came out.

She grabbed a hold of the Beta's hand and twisted it. He yelped in both shock and pain. Hera took the opportunity and pushed him to the floor before pouncing on him and slashing his face with her claws creating bloodied lines.

"You mutt!" He growled releasing his powerful aura and pushing her off him with so much force. We hit the wall and Hera immediately receded giving me back control. I tried scrambling to my feet to run off but he was before me in a flash and grabbed me, "I am taking you to the Alpha." He barked.

"No! Please…" I begged as he dragged me up the stairs and to the Alpha's room.

Alpha Titan was already outside the door and my guess was that the beta had already mind linked him.

"What did she do now?" He rolled his eyes.

"Your useless mate!" He dropped me on the floor before the Alpha, "Did this!" He pointed at his face.

"I am sorry." I whimpered.

"Shut up!" Alpha Titan growled, "Get into the room and strip!"

I stood up and got into the room fiddling with my clothes.

"I will take it from here." I heard him say before he got into the room and closed the door behind him.

"Oh darling." He walked over to me turning me to face him, "You are so in for it!" He said before pouncing on me.

I was bleeding between my legs and everywhere when he got off and grabbed the whip. The cold air blew against my skin and I shivered.

"Oh my dear, are you cold?" He mocked me before hitting me with the whip continuously and as I screamed in pain, he enjoyed it more.

"Please Alpha…" I begged, "Just kill me…" I pleaded with him as the pain was too much. I didn't think I could survive it any longer.

"Kill you and give you an easy end to your suffering? No dear, I wouldn't do that." He laughed as he came to my level on the floor. He yanked one of my folded legs out, "Ugly bitch." He read out what

is Beta had written with he knife, "Worthless slut." He laughed as he read the other words on the next leg, "I must say, he did a pretty great job." He stood up. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I swallowed as he watched me with hooded eyes making me wonder what sort of torture he had next.

"Get up and lay on the bed."
