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

6

I stood up as quick as I could on my weak legs and laid on the bed not wanting to anger in further. I laid there with my face pressed downwards into the sheets. I wailed in tears as I felt a knife on my back.

He was carving out words on my already open wounded back. I didn't know what he was carving. I only cried feeling the pain get more intense. I couldn't even scream, I was too weak.

"I see you aren't screaming in pain." He grumbled, "I guess this doesn't hurt enough." He stabbed the knife into my back and I screamed. He pulled out the knife and repeated the act over and over again.

"Just kill me already!" I yelled out in pain.

"No…i have one more surprise for you."

I heard the door open and someone walked in, I couldn't see who it was till I heard the voice.

"Mummy."

It was Amara.

I was alarmed, I raised my head and looked at her standing in the room clutching fluffy as usual as she stared at me and the man whom she didn't know was her father.

"What are you going to do to her?" I yelled at him, "let her go!" I didn't want him to kill her like he did to my father.

"She is going to join us in the fun." He laughed as he beckoned to her, "Come here."

She stood there watching me as if seeking my permission.

"I said come here you mutt!" He walked over to her angrily and slapped her across the face. She cried out and I had to act fast. I grabbed a syringe containing silver and wolfsbane from the bed shelf, got off the bed and immediately moved to him stabbing him in the neck with it.

"Bitch!" He turned glaring at me knowing what I had done and then he grabbed my neck.

I wasn't going down without out a fight, he was already weaker now.

"I will end you this instant!" He backed me up against the wall.

"Leave her alone!" Amara cried as she ran up to us hitting his leg. He kicked her away and turned to face me again, just then I reached out to the bedside lamp, lifted it and smashed it on his head.

Alpha Titan fell to the ground with a thump.

I didn't waste time in grabbing Amara and running out of the room. I limp ran to the basement with her in my arms, I was still naked as I hadn't bothered with grabbing my clothes and the cold air kept kissing my wounds making me hiss in pain.

I kept Amara down as soon as I got there and began packing all our belongings in the sack. There was no time, we needed to get out of here before Alpha Titan awoke.

Someone is finally running away! Hera snickered.

Hera, I do not need your satire right now, we need to leave as soon as possible, can you heal?

No! Way too weak but we can manage with the wounds.

I finished packing our things, put on a simple gown and grabbed Amara.

"Where are we going?" She asked as we crept out of the pack house.

"We are going far away from here baby." I answered her as we continued moving.

We left the house successfully and walked in the thick forest, I knew we were still on the pack grounds. We move till we got closer and close to the borders after managing to evade the patrol members.

When we got really close to the borders I dropped Amara and the sack.

I crouched down to her level, looking at her with her teary eyes and her tiny hands clutching fluffy.

"Baby, I need you to do something for me." I told her, "I need you to shift into your Wolf, I want you to let Cora take over."

"Are we running away from this bad place?"

"Yes, baby we are."

"And we will finally be happy in a big house, with food and a daddy."

I nodded at her not wanting to dull her spirits. I didn't know if we were going to get comfort, I didn't know what the world had in store for us but I knew that we had to run.

She dropped fluffy and I helped her in sitting on the floor.

"You need to be focused and let Cora come through okay?"

She nodded and sat there. Soon, I saw her shifting, her tiny claws surfacing with pale silver fur and canines.

She wasn't screaming like the first few times and soon a beautiful pup with silver fur was standing on all fours before me.

"Cora." I smiled at her.

"I did it!" She jumped smiling happily,

"Amara and I did it."

I stood up smiling at her and then it was time for me to do what I ought to do.

"I Nyx Evander, an omega of the Coremoon pack accept your rejection Alpha Titan and I choose to be a rouge from this moment, so be it." And then I felt all connection and ties with them severe.

I shifted into my wolf immediately and let Hera take control. She walked up to the sack, "Pick fluffy Cora." She said as she picked the sack in her mouth.

Cora also did the same with fluffy.

So we are doing this? I asked Hera.

It's about time.

And with that we moved crossing the borders and running into the forest.

We were rouges.

________

We kept running even though we were tired. I didn't know how far we were from the pack but I knew we had covered a considerable distance away from them.

How come we are so fast? I asked Hera.

I don't know, She said, I feel anxious, first I am faster all of a sudden and I can't keep this other feeling away.

"I am thirsty." Cora said dropping fluffy and we had to stop, "I need water."

"There is a stream not far away from here, I can hear it." Hera said to her, "We would reach there in no time."

We continued journeying till we reached the stream. There, we sat to drink water and rest.

We need to leave here now, what if wild rouges come, we would be in danger.

That's right! Hera agreed with me and she stood up, she called cora and we began the journey again not knowing exactly where we were going just following the moon as it led us.

The night got darker as we ran and we had all began to feel tired. I felt pity on Cora as she wasn't used to this and she was still so young.

We went a little further and spotted a clearing.

We need to spend the night here, Hera said to me, we might collapse if we go any further.

Okay, Cora is so tired.

We dropped our stuff and not caring to shift back into our human form. We fell under a tree as we planned to spend the the night there.

We were about the sleep when we heard rustling of bushes and I could feel Hera's excitement again.

Calm down Hera, I growled.

The rustling got more noisy and she stood up.

There, out of the bushes jumped out six huge looking wolves, they weren't rouges, I knew it. They looked like trained pack warriors and they were extremely huge.

They looked at us furiously as they snarled.

What are we going to do? I asked Hera.

I don't know, looks like they are out to kill, She moved backwards trying to shield Cora away from them and Just then Hera caught whiff of something.

An amazing scent.

It filled us up and it smelt heavenly.

It smelt woody, like pinecones with a hint of lavender, I didn't even know what to describe it with. It was simply unique. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Could it be?

A huge black wolf jumped in front of us staging himself between us and the warriors. It was the biggest wolf I had ever seen, it looked majestic as his fur shone under the moonlight.

It turned to us staring at us with those gleaming black eyes and it was like the world stopped for a moment and then Hera said the word that I never expected.

'Mate'
