The Alpha King's Rejected Mate (Nyx and Lycus)

Nyx's Pov

Our gazes met, my own sad green orbs filled with fear meeting his dark eyes void of emotions. He assessed my features for a while with a frown on his face before looking away like I was insignificant. of course, you are insignificant to him!

"You may sit." The Beta chirped sassily like she was in charge and I could have sworn that I heard willow snort.

They both approached the table as we sat, still entangled with each arms in arms and I grew nervous as they got nearer.

Lycus walked to the seat opposite me and drew it out for the Beta to sit. My heart lurched at this gesture. She sent him a flirty smile before taking her seat which she did while sending me a cold glare. He took his seat next and I felt my insides flutter at the close proximity within us. He was so near and the urge to reach out and smooth his brows which were etched in a frown was strong.

"Mother." He cleared his throat, "Can we talk outside before breakfast starts?" He asked her and I knew he wanted to talk about me being at the table.

"Not now Lycus." She said sending him a smile, "Whatever you have to talk about can wait dear boy." I knew she was trying to avoid the conversation. There was a brief silence at the table, no one saying anything and from the look on Lycus and Helena's faces, I could tell that they were mindlinking.

My stomach growled embarrassingly disrupting the silence and Lycus sent me a glare. I hid my head in shame.

"Ohh, we have a hungry one." The beta snorted, "Shall we eat?" She said clapping her hands and servants began to swim in coming our sides to help us in dishing the food.

Before they could get to us, a soft wind blew and a bright light shone following the sudden appearance of someone in the room. I jumped in shock but other members of the table seemed unfazed as if it was a regular occurrence.

The person that came in was a male. He was dressed in a white garment and wore a golden band on his head which shone brightly. In his hand he held a scroll.

"Your highness." He bowed towards Lycus, "Sorry for the intrusion but this is an emergency."

Lycus nodded at him and he proceeded in greeting other table members before turning to Helena and then he went on one knee bowing to her before handing her the scroll.

I was bewildered at the way he greeted and bowed to her and I began to wonder what rank she held apart from being the former Luna.

"What is it Dendri?" She asked collecting the scroll, "Did the other members send you?"

"Yes, you Highness." He replied still in that position, "Your presence is needed immediately and you can read the letter on your way." "Okay, I guess I better start going." She said standing up from her seat.

Going where? Was she leaving me? How do I cope here? No, she can't leave! I panicked severely as I watched her rise from the table. "Everyone have a lovely breakfast." She smile at them, "See you later Nyx, do enjoy yourself." She patted my cheek before telling Dendri to rise.

He did and they held hands, instantly they vanished.

A lump formed in my throat and I swallowed hard. She just left me here with people who hate me and my existence. I turned back to the table still stunned hoping that my existence is ignored and I have a peaceful breakfast.
