Chapter 6 She Was Mine
- Leondre's POV
- I woke up at 10 am, shower, and went to Amos's office. I didn't wait to hear a come-in before I entered.
- I find him sitting in his chair. The former Alpha and Luna are on the couch with two other men. They all get to their feet at my arrival and bow.
- We exchange pleasantries, and I take a chair in front of the new Alpha.
- "I found my mate in your pack," I inform him. From the looks on their faces, it seems they already knew.
- Amos knit his eyebrows in interest while the other people in the room cheer forcibly as if they were wary.
- "I found her in the dungeon, being molested by your guards," I say, repulsed. Amos's face shows anger and fury as I continue to tell them. A growl rips from his chest, and he hits his desk, breaking it in half.
- "I'll kill them," he declares
- "Already did," I grin sarcastically.
- "What happened? Why was she locked up?" I asked, looking into his eyes, and he fidgeted uncomfortably. I believe it has something to do with him. He swallows thickly.
- "Which one?"
- "Don't play dumb with me. You're already starting to irritate me."
- He looks offended but doesn't say a word. He inhales, puts his arms on the broken table, and looks at me.
- "Anaiah," he starts, and I repeat her name silently. Anaiah. It's a beautiful name for a lovely girl. A smile makes its way to my lips.
- 'It suits her,' adds Saga.
- "There is a mistake. Anaiah is not yours. She's my mate,"
- I growl and get to my feet. I'm in front of him in a flash, holding him by his neck. I lift him off the ground and squeeze his neck. His face starts to turn purple, but I don't release him. How dare you claim my mate, the former Alpha and Luna, are pleading, but I turn a deaf ear.
- "Anaiah is my mate, and I'll kill anyone who tries to touch her," My words are slow and calm. I throw the little Alpha to the ground, and he gulps for air greedily. His parents go to help him up, but he growls and pushes away the stupid prick.
- "With all due respect, my King, she was mine first."
- Amos didn't expect Anaiah to have a second mate, and who turn out to be the lycan king.
- "If the Moon Goddess gave her another, it can only mean you rejected her, especially considering the condition I found her in. Alpha Amos, do you lock your mate in a dungeon?" If the goddess blessed me with her, the moron must have rejected her.
- "I was wrong. I'll take back my rejection!" He challenges. I see red, but I refrain from wasting any energy on him.
- "You won't!" His father growled. I raise my eyebrows and find them staring at each other challengingly.
- "That woman won't be a Luna. She's a murderer!"
- "Father, enough. Anaiah is my mate, and everyone will accept her. I've made my decision," Amos declares.
- I don't wait to find out before leaving the room. I went straight to the hospital to see my mate. I find Dan in the hallway, and I give him a tiny smile.
- "How is she?"
- "She's better, they have applied some ointment to her wounds, but I haven't been there to see her yet,"
- "Is she awake?"
- He nods and points at me to walk in. I eye him, suddenly feeling nervous. What if she rejects me or compares me to that asshole who rejected her? I hesitantly push the door open and enter the room.
- There is a female doctor performing tests and asking her questions. She nods her head.
- "Looks better," The doctor sounds cheerful. The doctor notices me and bows.
- "My King! I'm happy to say your mate is healing well. Quite impressive actually," She muses.
- I nod, and she explains a few things before leaving the room.
- I'm left alone with my mate.
