The Lycan's Rejected Mate (naiah and Amos) novel Chapter 72

Alpha Erickson's POV

Father seemed happy and he announced that he had news, however, he didn't share it with us as he was mind-linking someone.

"Oh, My love, you look beautiful, how was your day?" He asked, kissing Mother's cheek.

He only acknowledged us with a nod and sat.

"What news do you want to share?"

"They plan to give me a seat at the council,"

"Finally! It's long overdue," Beamed mother.

The rest of dinner we ate in silence, I was dreading going to bed.

During the nights, I hated morning because I had to go training but after that, I didn't see my father for the rest of the day until dinner.

On the day of my eighteenth's birthday, my mother threw me a grand party and it is where I confirmed my suspicions about Savannah being my mate.

"Hello, Mate," I waved. A few of her friends were standing behind her, squealing and leaping in joy. However, she didn't know we were mates because she was still seventeen years old. I wanted to claim her, mark her for all to see that she was mine. Before I could even approach her, a voice cheered behind me

"Happy Birthday, My SON!" I turned around and came face to face with my father. He was in a better mood lately, he stopped speaking about overthrowing the Lavista and was focused on mom, that was weird but I didn't question it. I was scared I might jinx it so we all went to the floor.

"Thanks, Dad," He threw me a key to a vintage car that I loved. My father was finally given a seat on the council which he wanted so much which I now hold as his successor.

A few months followed and my mate's birthday was coming, I was excited because now our Lycans would connect but nothing happened. I didn't think much of it and we continued dating, living in pure bliss with Sav.

"I love you so much," She'd tell me, always, and I knew that. On her twenty-first birthday, I prepared a picnic date for her and we celebrated it together but at midnight, she started acting strange and her body started shaking, the earthquakes around us and her eyes were a beautiful hazel with golden circles, the circles of a witch.

Sav fainted as soon as the earthquake stopped, and I carried her to her room.

I didn't know how to react so I called her parents who explained to me that Savanna is not their real daughter.

"Her real father was my wife's cousin, one night he came to us with an infant in a basket, begging us to take her in as our own, and we did after he told us that her mother is a dark witch who wanted to raise Savy in her dark magic,"

"So, you raised her as a Lycan?"

"Yes, before leaving, her father cast a spell to entrap her magic and give her a stronger shifter scent to fit in," Her mother explained.

"Does Savannah know all this?" I ask.
