Revenge of Ameera: The Rejected Mate

A festive atmosphere filled the Pack Moonlight neighborhood; the residents rejoiced because there would soon be a new Alpha appointment.

Moreover, the Alpha candidate had found his mate, making the residents even more excited. Hearing from some rumors circulating, their Luna Candidate is a tough she-wolf.

It was inversely proportional to Ameera’s situation, who now had to endure pain all over her body.

Her dress could no longer be called a decent outfit; blood had filled all parts of her dress. Various wounds seemed to be painted on her body that was no longer smooth.

Ameera grimaced in pain as she tried to move her body; the wounds she had just received from the guards made it difficult for her to move. Even opening her mouth was a pain.

She lamented her terrible fate. From a child living alone without knowing his origins, now she met a mate who did not want to acknowledge him. She even had to be tortured for asking for justice for herself.

"Help! Give me some water," she said in a low, hoarse voice, asking a guard.

"Noisy! You better shut up before I whip your filthy body again!" snapped the guard loudly. You are making his voice echo along the hallway.

Ameera had to swallow her voice; she didn't want to be punished again.

Her mind wandered back to the time before she was imprisoned.

Ameera, who was lost until she entered the Moonlight pack area, was arrested because she was considered an enemy spy. Despite explaining the truth, the warriors who arrested her did not believe Ameera.

A man came in with a murderous gaze, staring hatefully at her.

"Mate!" screeched the wolf in Ameera's body, Zee, when she felt the mate bond with the man before them.

"Calm down, Zee," Ameera thought to her wolf.

She watched her mate's face closely; could he have come to save her? Ameera thought at that moment.

"Sincerely, Mr. Edmund," greeted the warriors as they saw the arrival of the man named Edmund.

"Take the girl to the meeting room and summon my father!" He commanded with a cold aura.

The warriors immediately carried out the orders of Ameera's mate, who she knew was named Edmund.

Without fighting because she was tired, Ameera followed wherever they took her. She only hoped her mate would help her, even though her heart wasn't sure after getting that glare.

Along the way, Ameera could feel several stares from the people there, some of them without hesitating to criticize her.

"Where are they taking us?" asked Zee, who felt angry at Ameera's thoughts.

"Calm down, Zee. There's our mate; maybe he'll help," Ameera replied gently.

"You're right! We finally found our mate!" squealed Zee happily, knowing they had found their mate.

Ameera tried to drown out Zee's noise in her head; she couldn't handle Zee's cheerful nature. Unlike her, who was quiet and rarely spoke.

They continued walking until they reached a room resembling a large hall. However, it had several chairs lined up around a round table.

"Greetings, Father. I have something to tell you," Edmund said when he saw that his parents were there first.

"What is it, Ed? Why did you bring a prisoner here?" asked Linda Xelova, Edmund's mother. She was staring in surprise at Ameera, who the warrior was chaining.

"You guys go, leave the girl here," Edmund ordered.

The warriors immediately left the room, leaving Edmund, his parents, and Ameera still on their knees.

"What happened exactly?" asked Eric Lycaon, Edmund's father.

Linda and Eric waited quietly for Edmund to answer their questions.

"He's my mate," Edmund said sharply, staring at Ameera with a hate-filled gaze.

"Mate?" muttered Linda, unable to believe what her son was saying.

"Then why are you treating her like that? Let her go," Linda screeched angrily, not understanding Edmund's train of thought.

"Calm down, Luna." Eric walked towards Edmund with an aura of anger emanating from his body.

Plak

He slapped Edmund hard, sending Edmund's body flying into the wall. Eric didn't seem to be messing around with his punishment.

"Don't you know how to treat a mate properly? I didn't raise you to see you treat a mate like a lowlife!" Eric growled.

According to Ameera, Edmund silently received a slap from his father, even though he could avoid it.

"Wake up!"

Edmund got up silently, preparing to receive another blow from Eric before Luna's voice stopped Eric's movement.

"Stop it, Alpha! Let's talk with a cool head," Linda said softly but did not hide her anger at Edmund.

Linda walked over to Ameera after calming the Alpha's anger.

"Are you okay?" she asked, removing the chains that bound Ameera.

"Thank you, Luna," Ameera said gratefully.

Linda led Ameera to sit in one of the chairs; the atmosphere became tense when no one opened their voice, including Ameera, who felt this situation was bad for her.

"What's your name?" Linda asked, breaking the silence.

"Ameera, Ameera Alcmene," Ameera replied nervously.

'I think I'm in the lion's den, Zee, ' Ameera thought to Zee.

'We're in the wolf cage; there's no lion cage here,' Zee replied.

Ameera restrained herself from glaring at Zee's stupid remark.

"I'm Linda Xelova; you can call me Luna like everyone else," Linda said softly.

Ameera felt unlucky!

"I'm Eric Lycaon; I'm the leader of this pack. And this is my son, Edmund Lycaon. I apologize for my son's bad attitude towards you, Ameera." Alpha Eric apologized for Edmund's treatment of Ameera.

Ameera nodded slowly, not knowing what to say. A small part of him felt hurt by Edmund's attitude that seemed to reject his presence, Ameera had not yet felt their bond, but Zee would undoubtedly be hurt when he realized his mate rejected them.

"Do you also feel your mate bond?" asked Luna Linda; she wanted to confirm Edmund's words.

"Yes," Ameera replied quietly.

Alpha Eric looked at Edmund even more sharply; he was disappointed!

"Edmund, apologize to your eyes. Treat Ameera well; she is your partner." Luna Linda said, advising her son.

Edmund didn't seem to like this conversation; Ameera could see it. Edmund's gaze at her said it all.

'Poor me,' Ameera thought sadly.

"I don't want to have a weak and vague mate like her!" snapped Edmund in a loud voice, startling everyone there.

He stood up from his seat, walked towards Ameera, and quickly grabbed her neck. Ameera felt like she couldn't breathe as she realized Edmund had her firmly in a chokehold.

She vigorously thrashed Edmund's hands around her neck, trying to break the stranglehold that could have crushed her collarbone instantly.

"Help!"

Alpha Eric reacted quickly; he pulled Edmund's hand and threw Edmund with his strength.

"You are too much, Edmund!" said Alpha Eric angrily; he struck Edmund several times to teach him a lesson.

While Ameera was still trying to suck in air greedily, she held her neck with a broken heart. The wolf inside her thrashed around, trying to take over Ameera's body, but Ameera held her back with all her might.

She understood what was happening, but Zee was angry and disappointed. She didn't expect to receive such cruel treatment from her mate, unlike Ameera, who had realized it from the beginning.

"Ameera! Eric called the warriors to bring Ameera to the infirmary," Luna Linda said worriedly.

Ameera seemed to be having trouble breathing even though she was separated from Edmund; she felt like the entire air supply around her just disappeared. Her whole body felt dead; she couldn't even feel it. Ameera just looked at Luna Linda with a pleading gaze.

"Hurry up, Eric!" Luna Linda screamed.

Ameera began to lose consciousness; the last thing she saw was the arrival of several people she didn't recognize surrounding her. Before everything darkened and she lost consciousness.
