The Lycan's Rejected Mate (naiah and Amos) novel Chapter 7

Anaiah's POV

I slowly lift my gaze as the most enticing scent of vanilla and honey fills my nostrils, my breath gets caught in my chest, and I forget how to breathe. The man walking in front of me is tall and intimidating. He's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen. He has thick jet-black hair, blazing dark blue eyes, a prominent face with high cheekbones, and a muscular body that looks like a Greek god. As soon as he entered the room, he dominated it immediately, and a wince escaped my lips. He smiles ever so gently once he nears me, and my heart skips.

My wolf is saying something frantic, but I can't hear her. I'm still in awe of him.

"Hello, Love," His voice is deep and huskily sexy. I just watch him like an idiot. No words are leaving my mouth.

"Anaiah," He whispers my name, his eyes looking at me with love. My name sounds so good on his tongue, and a shiver runs down my spine. He cups my face, and tingles run down my body.

'Mate,' I hear my wolf chant, not fucking again. I shake my head, burying my head between my legs. I can tell that this man is an Alpha by his strong, domineering aura. Will he reject me? Oh my god, no, no. I feel tears well in my eyes, and a sob escapes me. I feel hands stroking my hair. I take deep breaths to calm myself. My hunky mate grabs my chin gently. I am facing him, and a warm sensation goes down my body when he speaks.

"I've been waiting for you, Mate,"

"Are you going to reject me?" I ask calmly, bracing myself. He knits his eyebrows in confusion.

"Why would I do that? You're my Luna, my Queen," His eyes twinkle, and I allow a small smile on my lips after I register what he said.

"What- What is your n-name?" I stutter my words.

"Leondre Lavista," I nod and test it on my tongue, it suits him, it makes my wolf purr. I can tell he wants to ask something but is hesitant. There is an awkward silence between us before he speaks again.

"Anaiah," Damn, he did it again. Has my name always sounded so good?

"Hmm,"

"What happened? Why were you in that terrible place?" His expression is darkening, and I feel uncomfortable when he exudes a powerful aura. Seeing my discomfort, he takes a deep breath and opens his eyes.

"My mate- um- my mate locked me up"

"I'm your mate!" He interjects with a growl, and I flinch, backing away from him, but there is nowhere to go. I instinctively reach for his hand and slowly rub circles on it, and he sends me a small smile that warms my heart.

"Tell me everything, please,"

I begin to tell him everything that happened, and to say, Leondre was upset will be an understatement, while I tell him, some old scars reopen, and I cry again. He holds me tightly and tells me that it will be alright, that I have him now, and for some weird reason, I do believe him. My wolf is content in his arms, and by a sheer miracle, my wounds don't hurt. The door opens, and another tall man with a build like Leon enters the room.

"Luna! I'm glad to see you're alright!" I look at Leon, waiting for him to tell me who he is because I've never seen him before.

"This is Dan, my beta, and friend," He says quickly, I smile and at Dan, he says, "This is Anaiah, my mate, and the new Lycan Queen,"
