The Lycan's Rejected Mate (naiah and Amos) novel Chapter 56

Anaiah's POV

"Well, Alpha Erickson, what is it going to be?" Asked Clara, it was obvious that she despised him as she spoke with venom. Erickson's gaze wandered to her and then to Mike, his eyes flashed with rage and his fist clenched. I sighed, knowing that it was a losing war. I've failed, failed those women I promised to help. Failed the mothers, sisters, aunties, and daughters like me. I didn't look

"We are waiting,"

"Well, I do believe in empowering women, that is why I vote in favor of the Queen's motion," I looked up, my lips stretching into a smile and my mate announced.

"Done, women will be given their birthright and have a sit on the council,"

claps resounded while others grimaced. I was relieved, I felt tears in my eyes.

I was so happy and we stayed to celebrate... I kiss my mate and he praises me for a job well done.

I was interacting with the ladies who were euphoric about the positive news and soon, I left the room for some fresh air where I found Betty and Jamal getting a little naughty, seeing me, they bowed and left.

"Don't I get a thank you of a sort?" A voice says. I'm reluctant to turn around.

"Thank you for doing the right thing, Alpha Erickson," I move passed him and he bows, watching me leave he says;

"You're welcome,"

It was an evening of surprise, I stopped in my tracks when I saw the mate who rejected me, standing a few feet from me. Amos was smiling like a creep. Erickson too didn't leave.

"Alpha Amos, what are you doing here?" I ask, sternly.

"I am here for a meeting, and I thought I should congratulate you on the new law, Queen Anaiah," He replies, I nod and we stared at each other for a long time, Alpha Amos had changed not only in appearance but his aura, there was something dark about it and I didn't like it one bit.

My brother and mate strode outside, worriedly. A few Alphas also came.

"What's wrong,"

"Packs are being attacked by Werebears and rogues, there was an attack at our borders and the Eastern packs," My brother informs me, taking off his jacket and shifting into his huge white wolf. It left the others gasping in awe at the magnificent wolf that took off in the direction of his pack.

"An attack by Werebears and Rogues?" I murmur. Werebears are part of the shifter community however, they isolate themselves in the deepest part of the world and we don't even keep in contact, their leader wants nothing to do with other shifters and lives in harmony, so what changed?

"Everyone call unto your warriors to protect your borders and no matter what, the attackers mustn't reach the packs," Orders Leondre. The Alphas did that and hastily left, others changing their forms.

"Go back to the castle, I'll find you,"

I am shocked when those words leave my mate's lips, he knows me well enough by now. I won't stay while he fights. I grab his arm, stopping him from leaving.
