SWNOVELS The Lycan’s Rejected Mate: His Lycan Luna: Chapter 94
Rhea’s POV
‘Beta Danford,’ I rehearse his name on my tongue again.
My mate was non-other than the powerful Lycan beta, the king’s right hand. He is known for his strength and voice of reason for the king as rumor has it that he’s an irrational man but unfortunately for me, he’s a manwhore, who fucks my nemesis, Bailey.
‘You know me,’ his voice is sexy.
‘You are Bailey’s fuck buddy,’ I say, a strange bitterness on my tongue as I emit the words. Bailey has been bitching and bullying me ever since I was young. It’s not like I can’t fight back or anything but she is the Alpha’s daughter and whenever I retaliated as I did earlier, they punish me severally for it.
‘She’s not… Um, it’s not.. um,’ beta Danford is stuttering. At a loss for words.
‘You don’t explain yourself, you don’t have to. I don’t need another mate so go ahead and reject me,’
‘I don’t want to reject you, Rhea,’ My name sounded smooth on his tongue, and my inner Lycan howls in bliss. She’s already in love with Hunter. His huge hand reaches up to stroke my hair gently and he smiles, I almost drop dead. He has the nicest smile I’ve ever seen
‘We can’t be together,’ I say, withdrawing from him.
‘Why? Is it because you’re in love with that swine Jason?’ He growls and I chuckle softly. He seems surprised and I narrow my gaze.
‘You laugh,’
‘I hate Jason,’ I tell him ‘I also call him swine, but not to his face of course,’
Beta Danford stands up and extends his hand to me, I look at him questioningly
‘Take a walk with me in the garden and give me your reasons for rejecting me and not the swine Jason,’
I don’t take his hand, I just stand up and walk before him.
We are out in the garden and the sky has never been clear as it is tonight. The moon is full and I bask in the power it gives us.
‘Let’s start by why you haven’t accepted his rejection,’ he says.
‘Because I’ll have you reveal who I am to them,’
‘And just who are you exactly, my lady,’
‘I’m an Alvarez, my name is Rheanna Alvarez,’
Beta Danford’s POV
She is an Alvarez, the original heir to the silver moon pack. Long ago Juan Potter challenged the Alpha of this pack but he lost. He returned a few months later and attacked and killed the Alpha.
Alpha Juan Potter was supposed to be persecuted by the council but he had a great defense and was found innocent.
‘How are you alive?’ I ask. Relief flooded me that she survived the slaughter of her family and that she was my mate! I wanted to kiss her and just kneel to thank the moon goddess that she is alive.
‘My mother hid me away during the fight and when it was over, my father’s former Gamma, Makai, was supposed to send me away from the pack into hiding but we were caught and I told them that I’m an Omega’s daughter who served the previous Luna, that’s how I’m here,’
I scrutinize her, amazed. I am sure that she was barely a teenager at that time but she lied to save her precious life.
Rhea inhales, ‘they made me a maid and I did all the chores, they beat and abused me because believe it or not, the Potters hate Omegas, and anyone who worked for my parents,’
I was growling in anger as she spoke about the abuse she suffered.
‘What about the surviving pack members? Don’t they know you’re an Alveraz?’ I ask, surely they recognize her.
‘Only high-ranking members know my identity and they’ve kept it a secret,’ she informs me. I felt for her and all the shit she’s been through.
I don’t know if she notices but we are holding hands and I am about to explode with all the emotions I didn’t know I could ever experience.
‘So you haven’t accepted him because it will mean revealing your identity?’
‘Yep,’
‘Well, you need to accept his rejection because I can’t bear the fact that you partially belong to him as well,’ I tell her, she opens her mouth to protest but I capture her for a long tantalizing kiss, never in my life did I think kissing someone would feel this amazing. My tongue explored her sweet mouth gently and I beam when she moves her tongue.
Our kiss was sweet but she doesn’t allow me to dominate her for too long, she was an Alpha. I grip her neck and pull her closer to me, I want us to be engraved as one.
I was thriving and when she moaned, my dick harden in my pants.
We pull apart due to the lack of air and damn, I fucking whimper. She doesn’t understand what she did to me. I was looking at her like water in the Sahara desert, how did I miss her when I’d been coming here for years?
‘I can’t, I can’t do this, Beta Danford,’ she says and runs back into the pack house.
I run a hand through my hair and turn around, only to find my king and Queen, I can tell the tension radiating off them even from here.
They are fighting, this can’t be good.
I put on a huge smile as I approach but deep down, I am hurting that my mate doesn’t want me.
‘Hey guys, Luna I didn’t know you were joining us here,’ I say.
‘Now I regret my decision,’ She spats, glaring at her mate.
‘I didn’t tell you to come, Ana, and why are you here this late?’ says Leondre, crossing his arms against his chest. Oh, goddess, I’m going to need a drink for this.
‘Can we talk over a beer? I really can use one,’ I ask.
‘Me too,’ they answer in unison.
We go to a bar in town and order cold beers.
‘So you found your mate,’ smiles Anaiah, looking genuinely happy for me.
‘Yep and she’s rejecting me,’ I inform them.
‘Nooo, why?’
I walk them through everything that has happened and on the fifth or sixth beer, Anaiah slams her palm against the table
‘No, she can’t reject you, I have to talk to her,’
‘Why is she rejecting you again?’ Asks Leondre.
‘Because of her identity and one of them is that I’m a whore, I mean was but that was before I met her,’
‘But now that she’s of age, she can easily challenge the Alpha back for the title, she is the rightful heir,’ says Leondre and I narrow my gaze on him. How did that slip my mind? If the elders are keeping her real identity secret, it might mean that they hope to get back the control of their pack from the Potter family to its rightful one.
‘I’ll have to talk to her about it, maybe once she accepts that swine’s rejection, she can think about starting anew with me,’ I smile to myself.
