The Lycan's Rejected Mate (naiah and Amos) novel Chapter 45

Anaiah's POV

I was getting ready for my date when Arya entered the room with a sullen expression.

"Are you okay," She nods her head and sits on the white fur carpet in the middle of my closet. She has been blue for the past couple of weeks and has been working hard at the company.

I show her two outfits that I picked out, a long dress that has a beautiful neckline only enough to tease a cleavage, and one that is bareback. She picks the one with the bareback and I smile. It was my first choice too, and it's much tighter. I'm not underweight anymore but I am not curvy either. I wear the outfit with nude heels and Angela does my makeup in a smokey eye and rich red lipstick. Putting on my teardrop shaped earrings, I look in the mirror, and gasp, I look hot and the dress is nicely tight.

I descend the stairs and go out to the car, Jake opens the door for me and drives me to a location I'm unfamiliar with, not that I know many places anywhere.

We are still in the pack, at a restaurant however, it is empty. Jake guides me inside and my nerves are going crazy.

"He's waiting," My bodyguard whispers in my ears and smiles, before I ask him more, he turns on his heels. My wolf propels me to follow the scent of my mate and I do. A man I don't know is dressed in a suit and has a friendly smile on his face opens the door for me and I enter a room full of red roses, the scenery is captivating and has aromatic candles lit beautifully. There is a table setting for two with two glasses and a bottle of champagne on the side.

I finally see Leondre, standing against the glass wall. My handsome man is watching me with a smile on his gorgeous lips, he is wearing a white dress shirt and dark pants, and in a room full of red roses, he has a water lily in his hand. He comes to me and grabs me by my waist, capturing my lips into a sizzling kiss.

"You're so beautiful, baby," He husks and I smile, laying my head on his chest and he kisses my head.

"You did all this for me?" I ask, tearing up. He cups my face and nods.

"Happy mate day, my love," I smile, I forgot that was a thing, and he gives me a present. A beautiful pink diamond necklace. I hold my hair up and he puts it around my neck, kissing the back of it in the process, I smile and turn around to thank him with a tender kiss.

"I'm sorry I didn't get you anything," I apologize, he did all this for me and I even forgot it's mate's day together, a day to celebrate mates, they enjoy and thank goddess Selene for the mates they were blessed with.

"It's okay my love, I wasn't expecting anything," He says and kisses my forehead, I love that he randomly kisses me.

We sit down for dinner and the food is extra delicious and I'm enjoying everything, even though my mate doesn't eat much. I was too excited when our dessert came and he watched me with a smile, Leondre doesn't eat sweet food so I ate his share.

He holds my hand the whole time as we talk about everything and nothing, he is more interested in my thoughts on being Queen since I've taken up a few roles in the pack like organizing charity events and the new project I am working on. I learned that there are no females allowed to train in some districts hence we are trying to stop that, every shifter should at least know how to defend themselves, nevertheless, some lieutenants are stubborn but that is where their wives come in. I have been interacting with them and most of them agree that women should have a say in how things are run politically.

"So you want women to have a political rank?" He asks and I nod, he looks surprised.

"Well women in this city are not politically hence they are no female Alphas," He says and I look at him bewildered.

"Things have to change, come on, it's 2018! when will women be in the forefront and not only there to make their men shine," He shrugs.
