The Alpha King's Rejected Mate (Nyx and Lycus) novel Chapter 11

Nyx's Pov

             I groaned in pain as I got hit against the wall, the pain tore through my back and I could swear that I felt my posterior bones crack. I opened my eyes trying to see as the light had began to fade away a bit. I looked to my side to see Amara still snuggled in deep sleep which left me wondering how she could sleep through all the commotion.

"Are you okay?" Lycus's voice pulled my gaze away from Amara and it trailed to him. He was getting up on his feet which meant that he had taken a fall too, "Are you hurt?" He asked again and I saw something flash in his eyes, worry?

I was too stunned to answer as I never expected him to actually care about how I felt. The worry in his voice and eyes was quickly gone and he looked away from me towards the direction of the source of light and I followed suit.

It seemed that all the streams and streaks of light that faded away had amassed into a huge mass of light and in the middle, a hole was suddenly created and out of the hole came another gush of wind, this time it was gentle, it actually swept through my hair caressing the tresses and out stepped a woman.

Immediately I laid eyes on her, I suddenly felt insecure and embarrassed. I knew I could never look like her, that's why no one would ever want me.

She was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. She had long luscious brown hair that was waist length. Her skin was caramel toned and literally glowed. She had an oval shaped face with the cutest yet most sensual features and her eyes were of a pale colored red which got me to know that she was a witch. She wore a very sheer gown that hung to her every curve. She wasn't sickly thin unlike me, she had an ample bosom, a very tiny waist and full flared hips.

She was simply gorgeous and I looked down at myself and tears began to flow knowing that I would never ever look like that. Her skin glowed unlike mine that was bloody and covered with marks and she had a very attractive figure while I was skinny more than skinny with my bones sticking out.

"What are you doing here fay?" I heard my mate speak, even her name is beautiful just like her, I sighed.

"Why do you sound like you are not happy to see me?" She said with a pout as her feet touched the ground, even her voice was wonderful, "Don't you miss me love?"

love? How dare she call him love? Hera growled in my head, let me out, I will rip her throat!

calm down Hera, I said to her, it's not like he wants us, I do not get why you are agitated.

Of course, I got why she was agitated. I was filled with jealousy myself, she literally just called my mate love and I was curious about the relationship between them.

"Fay…" He sighed, "What do you want?"

"A little birdie told me you have found your mate." She smirked walking closer to my cell, "I came to see for myself, Where is she?" She asked.

"How did you find me?" Lycus asked her with a bored look on his face, "And how is all these any of your concern?"

"I found you how I have always find you my love, I am no witch for a reason besides all of these concerns me after all I wouldn't want anyone coming close to my man." She placed a lot of emphasis on the last part of her sentence and I was hurt beyond reason as i wondered if he was sleeping with her.

Lycus snorted.

"Where is she?" She asked getting closer to the cell, "Oh, there she is." Her eyes found mine as she was very close now and standing next to my mate, "She looks awful."

I bowed my head in shame at her words and fiddled with my worn out dress, she was right, i'd look awful.

"The Alpha King's Mate in a cell." She said out loud, "How wonderful!"

"Can you stop yelling?" He grimaced at her, "Bring your voice down!"

"Oh, do not worry." She winked at him, "No one will know that you had your pathetic mate locked up in a cell, everyone is asleep as per my powers."

I saw my Mate sigh in relief and I couldn't blame him, I wouldn't even want me if I were him. I had scars all over my body and inscriptions, I was cursed and pathetic. Not pretty at all, too thin and utterly worthless.

"What exactly do you want Fay?" He did an eye roll, "Why are you here?"

"I came to make a proposition." She winked at him and moved closer to him, way too close, "And you must agree to it!"

"And what proposition is that?"

"You know how crazy I am for you." She placed a hand on his chest caressing it softly, "And I will do anything to have you either by seduction, my charms or witchery." 

I felt a sharp ting in my heart hearing her words and seeing how she was all over my mate, he didn't even bother pushing her away.
