The Alpha King's Rejected Mate (Nyx and Lycus) novel Chapter 29

Nyx's pov

 After agreeing to Willow's plan and she assured me that nothing could go wrong, I felt comfortable going ahead with it but now there was an issue.

Willow wasn't here, she had to leave as per Alpha's orders she had said. She left with Lycus's mother, an emergency they called it and now I had no one to talk to but Andros.

The plan was to wear this super skimpy silver dress Willow had fished out for me, hang out with Andros, make sure Lycus sees, then he gets angry and reacts.

As if he wasn't angry enough already.

But now I didn't feel too comfortable with going with the plan, I didn't feel confident knowing willow wasn't here to brace me up.

I am not going to do this, I said to myself, May be when she comes back, I am just going to put on the gown, see how it looks on me, pull it off and go to bed.

I pulled off my present clothing and put the gown over my head pulling it down my body. 

I gasped looking at myself in the mirror. The gown had an open back and there was a baring at the front in the middle that exposed a little of my cleavage, the baring went all the way down stopping right above my belly button, the gown stopped way above my knees, it wasn't too short but it was too short for me.

you would have looked hot, I said to myself, If not for your ugly face and scarred body.

The marks and scars were more visible with me having this gown on. I quickly pulled it off feeling very bad about myself, picked up an old flabby gown and threw it on.

I walked away from the mirror and back to the bed getting ready to sleep early. Amara wasn't sleeping here tonight, she had a kid's sleep over.

I was about to lay back on the bed when I heard a knock, it was familiar. I walked to the door and opened it.

Andros was standing there with a huge smile on his face holding what I suspected to be packs of food, "There you are" He growled playfully with a wink and I felt my face heat up.

"Hi…" I said, "What are you holding?"

"Food." He shrugged, "We are going to have dinner under the moonlight." He said with a smile, "Come on…"

I nodded and followed him without declining. We went outside the castle and back to that tree which was now our usual spot.

We sat under it and he laid out the food. I didn't waste time in digging into it.

"This is delicious." I said munching on the bite I took.

"I made it."

"The cook let you do that?" I couldn't believe it, she looked like someone who was definitely going to look down on Andros too.

"I have my ways." He winked at me and I blushed.

"So, would you like to go for a run when we are done?" He asked.

"There will be no running!" Another voice boomed answering before I could. We looked in the direction. 

Lycus was storming towards us with blazing eyes and the aura coming from him was alarming. We bent our heads in respect as he reached us.

"Andros is it?" He asked with a growl as he reached us, his question didn't need an answer, "Get out!" He snapped.

"I can't leave her." Andros said stubbornly.

"Are you challenging me mutt?!" Lycus faced him using his Alpha's voice, "I said get lost!" He growled and Andros obeyed immediately.

"You!" He barked turning back to me, "You are coming with me!"

"No! I am going nowhere." I protested but it fell on deaf ears. He bent down picked me up and threw me over his shoulders before running with wolf's speed. We were before his office in no time.
