The Alpha King's Rejected Mate (Nyx and Lycus)
16

Nyx's pov.

I sat on the bed with my hands folded across my laps, I didn't know what to do with myself and I couldn't see Amara now till she was brought by her nanny, I was told she had one. My eyes wandered around the room, I had never been a room as big and as grand as this before. The walls were painted cream, there was a wardrobe attached my one end of the wall and I saw a door a bit far from it that I guessed it led to the bathroom. The bed on which I was sat was huge and the covers felt soft beneath my touch. There was a dressing mirror and a table on one side of the room and there was a chandelier hanging from the ceilings. Maybe to any other person the room would be plainly simple but it wasn't to me. It was grand and it was fit for a Queen, which I wasn't.

My thoughts wandered back to my mate and I was curious as I wondered if he was ever going to love me or even grant the me what I asked for.

I hope he did. Even if I was more of a loner and I didn't talk much, I had grown on Andros and I felt like I could trust him. He had been the only nice person I had met in my entire life. He even said he liked me and I blushed remembering when he said so. No one has ever told me that, no one ever likes me.

And when I had requested for Andros to be released, he seemed mad at me and he just stormed out of the room.

I stood up from the bed and walked to where the mirror was. It was strange seeing one again as I had hardly ever gotten access to one.

Starting at my reflection in the mirror, I could only think of one word.

ugly.

I was ugly and I wouldn't even want myself, that was why no one wanted me.

My pale blonde hair was of an uneven length as Alpha Titan loved to drag it for sport and other pack members will attack it with scissors just for the fun of it. My green eyes had gotten duller, not like they ever sparkled. My face was scarred and marked all over, the slap marks, burnt marks and even knife marks and where there were no marks, acne scars and fresh pimples covered them.

I squeezed my eyes shut not wanting to stare at my ugly face anymore, I didn't want the fact that I will never be wanted cause I was ugly to be more glaring.

I opened my eyes again and looked at my body this time. I was way too bony and skinny to be loved. The skin around my collar bones were sunken and I could see every definition of both bones. Even with the over sized gown I wore, you could tell that I was way less that a size zero.

I wasn't thick like the rest girls, I didn't have an ample bosom, I was flat chested, I didn't think my small boobs were even attractive, Alpha Titan said they weren't and so did the other warriors. Anytime I was underneath them, they always reminded me of that, another thing they reminded me of was my lack of ass fat. I was as flat as a board, I had no hips. My hip dips, dipped themselves. My bones around the area poked out. Even my torso, I could feel and count my ribs in a glance. They were extra prominent.

I wiped the tears that had already ran down my face was heading back to the bed when the door was suddenly thrown open startling me.

"Always a scared bitch!" It was the Beta. She banged the door shut and walked up to me grabbing my hair forcefully.

I let out a loud scream but she quickly clamped her hand down on my mouth, "Scream and I will make sure I leave you dead in this room." She threatened and I shut up.

"You could escape uhn?" She laughed, "I won't rest till you are gone and I swear by the moon goddess next time you wouldn't be so lucky!"

I sobbed as she twisted my hair causing my scalp serious pain, "Please let me go!"

"Shut up!" She yelled slapping me across the face and I fell to the ground.

"All because you are in a pretty room and you seem to have gotten the Alpha's favours dosen't mean you can talk back at me!" She barked.

"I am sorry." I crawled away from her, "It won't happen again." I cried with tears streaming down my face. She spat on my face with a glare humiliating me more.

"Just stay the fuck out of my way and always remember this!" She crouched down to my level on the floor, "Lycus is mine! Always has! Always will be! And I wouldn't let some useless rogue and a worthless omega at that come between us." She stood up gave me one more kick before barging out of the room.

I struggled to get on my feet and crawled back into the bed. My wounds were bleeding again her brutality had caused them to and they hadn't even healed fully.

I lay on the bed coiled up in a ball silently asking the moon goddess what I did to deserve all these. I had only ever known pain ever since I was born, finding my first mate worsened it and stumbling on the second seems to be harder as he had only proven that he would make my life miserable.

I needed to talk to someone, I needed to talk to Andros and I needed to see my baby girl, Amara.

Just then a knock sounded on the door and I quickly leapt to my wobbly feet and wiped up my tears.

"Come in." I said trying not to sound like I had been crying, "The door is open."

The person who had knocked opened the door and a hand pushed Amara in. The door was quickly locked again after that. She ran to me and hugged me. Her agility causing me to fall on the bed and I giggled "I missed you so much mummy." She said, "Are you okay?" She asked, "You woke up for me."

"Yes, I did baby." I rubbed her hair, "Mummy misses you too, where have you been?"

"I was put in a very beautiful room." She sat up on the bed clutching fluffy as usual and then she began blabbing about what she had eaten and how she played alone also how the nanny was nice. She kept on talking and after a while we were interrupted by a knock on the door. I walked over to it and opened it carefully peeking from the side.

First I saw all white hair and then a very familiar face but feminine that resembled that of Lycus. It didn't take too long for me to realize who was standing before me and then I began to panic as I wondered what was going to happen next and how this encounter would turn out.
