The lycan’s rejected mate

Chapter 1

Anaiah Pov

My is Anaiah Ross, and I'm the most hated wolf in the pack because when I shifted into my wolf for the first time, I killed Tomas Rivers, our alpha's brother. After all, he tried to rape me. Tomas was a pedophile who used to touch me in the most inappropriate way when no one was watching that's why I'm not sorry I killed him.

Since that day, the pack has been mistreating and bullying me, they beat, starve me and make me clean the pack house day in and day out. I tried to tell them that it was only self-defense but they didn't listen and Tomas's wife, Leah, denied all the accusations and said that her husband was the best and perfect man but I know she knows the truth.

Even my parents turned their backs on me because after the murder, they were demoted from their gamma status to Omegas, omegas are considered the weakest link of the pack, others are strong but most of them are just cleaners and help out around the pack. They have no major role to do like fighting in wars or any important pack political business.

"Where is that bitch!" Lea sneers, I roll my eyes, of everyone here she makes my life a living hell, I was supposed to be killed after I killed Tomas but my parents pleaded and asked on my behalf, saying that it was my first shift and just lost control.

I get out of my mini room, it is very small and almost an old walk-in closet next to the store room on the second floor, there is a mattress and an old broken mirror. I only have a few clothes, shoes and a collection of my favorite books.

I get out of the room, mentally preparing myself for all the insults and beating I'm to receive. I groan. Once in the pack main room, I see Lea standing elegantly in a long dress and heels, one hand on her hip as she taps her feet against the floor in impatience, the other hand holding a yellow fabric that she throws in my face as soon as I'm at arm's reach. I remove it from my face and throw it to the floor, annoyed.

"Um..." I trail pointing at the dress on the floor, Lea looks livid now and I didn't expect her to slap me, no, I did, she slaps me hard across my face and blood splatters from my nose and I fall to the ground at the impact of her slap. She kicks me once again in the stomach and I grunt.

"I told you to hand wash it!" She yells, I cover my face with my arms as I face blow after blow. It has been like this since her husband died and I'm here to take all her hate.

I pick myself up from the floor after Leah was tired of beating me, I go to the omega bathroom to clean my body, the cold water hits my body and I shiver. Slowly I clean my body and come out of the bathroom, using the lotion I left there and wearing the clothes I wore earlier. I go to get started on breakfast, the pack house has over 100 people staying here, they live in luxurious suites with their families while others who are unmated or without families have designer rooms.

With only a few other omegas to help me, I prepare breakfast, there are sausages, bacon, toast, eggs, and beans, they eat a full English breakfast every morning. I start to serve when I see him, Amos, he's our future alpha and one of the strongest wolves there is, he's a big player and Cassanova yet I still have a small crush on him

Keyword; Small. He mostly irritates me and bullies me like the others, the last time I spilled coffee on his girlfriend Eunice, he slapped me. My wolf wanted to fight back but I know he can end us in an instance.

Amos' eyes meet mine and he visibly stiffens and widen his eyes, I ignore his weird behavior and continue serving breakfast. Ignoring all the snarky comments they are throwing my way. I look at my parent but they only look at me with disgust and hate in their gaze. I swallow and inhale, walking away sadly. I feel tears well in my eyes but I don't cry, I can't be weak, I need to leave this place once I'm eighteen and start a new life for myself, so I promised myself to be strong. I will survive, I will take all the beating.

'Don't worry, our mate will love us,' Beams my wolf, Chalo. A mate is a soulmate that completes a wolf's life, once they are in pain, it is felt by the other and my wolf, has been wanting to get one since we learnt what mates are, she believes he will save us from all the pain and torture, he will love us for internity and we will have a beautiful family I didn't have.

I see a few students going to school and I smile, I miss school even though all they did was prank me but my teachers were good to me because I was a straight A student and would win in most competitions. The alpha and Luna stopped my education in my sophomore because they said they can't waste their resources on me when all I'm good for is cleaning and cooking, plus, let's face it, I wasn't going to get into a good college. After I'm done with my chores, I decided to get some vitamin D outside as my skin was too pale due to being indoors, I smile when the sun hits my skin and my wolf purrs. I hide on the bleachers while watching the warriors of the pack train. I like to observe them while they train so that I can know some basics about defending myself, others are doing it in their wolf form, others in their human. I miss shifting, when I shifted and killed Tomas, they prohibited me to shift saying my wolf is dangerous and feral.

The Dawnrise is a strong pack but not the strongest pack, and have survived thus far by maintaining a good relationship with the lycans who are royalty to us, my alpha's worst fear is angering a stronger pack hence every year, they hold a ceremony to renew their treaties where they feast and celebrate alliances that were made many years ago.

I feel a hand roughly grab my hair from behind and I fall on my back facing the sky, Eunice is standing over me, her arms crossed over her chest with a triumphant smile on her face. I scowl and try to get up but a kick from in my stomach stops me. She and her two bimbos hit me several times and she snarls

"Don't make eyes with my boyfriend again!"

I cough, making my ribs hurt. My wolf is trying to help me heal quickly but since we don't shift as much as the others, my healing is not as good as other wolves.

I get up to my feet with so much difficulty but she kicks my legs and I fall back down, she puts her heel over my neck, and I close my eyes, waiting for the worst.

what I have to do is press a little

harder and I can take you out of your misery," She says in that annoying tone of hers. My heart is beating so fast and my wolf is growling menacingly even though she can't fight back in this situation, she has a strong fighting spirit and most times has given in to me but I know when to quit and she doesn't. I don't want to die.

My wolf resurfaces and using Chalo's strength, I kick Eunice in the legs so that she is on the ground, those weak stupid bitch minions of hers scream, scared but no one tries to stop me. Anger courses through me, I feel the adrenaline pumping through me and I hover over her, punching her face repeatedly. Soon, the men that were training surrounded us, others are cheering while others are telling her to beat

me but I know, Eunice, she only barks and had no bite since we wereContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

young.

A tingling sensation rushes down my skin as I feel myself being lifted off Eunice's body by huge strong hands but my wolf is not done with her yet so I kick and scream.

"Let me fucking go!" I scream at whosoever is carrying me away from there. I jump off from the shoulder of the man who carries me and am ready to punch him in the face but I'm taken back to see it is Amos, the alpha's son. He looks so sexy in his basketball shorts, his hair is disheveled and goddamn it, his chest is as hot as fuck. I can see his muscular body and I swallow thickly. Seeing that I'm staring, he smirks at me and I blush involuntarily, looking away from him.

" Causing trouble, Omega?" He says in an angry voice,

"She came at me first!" I retort.

"You'll be punished for what you did, do you know who she is?" He growls, pushing me against the tree. I wince at the pain in my back. He wraps his hand around my neck and chokes me

"She's your fucking luna," He grits.

I try to hit him but he doesn't let go, it's like hitting a wall, my oxygen starts to cut and until all energy has let me, he finally lets me go and I fall to the ground, inhaling as much air as I can.

He crouches down next to me and looks at me with a softness I've never seen before while I glare at him. His eyes turn a shade darker and I know he is mind linking with someone, when he's done, he clears his throat and orders

"

You will be locked in the dungeon for the coming days," I widen my eyes in horror.

"But she started it!" I croak, I've been in the dungeons a few times and It's not a place I like to be, it's dark and scary, and the guards there are most immoral while they beat the offenders, they sexually assault women they like, it has happened to me a few times but I wasn't raped.

He stands up to leave but turns to look at me," Before I forget, I Amos Rivers, reject you, Anaiah as my mate and future luna,"
