The Lycan’s Rejected Mate: The Epilogue: Chapter 132

Anaiah’s POV I woke up a few hours later to the soft sound of rain outside, I adjusted my eyes to the room I was in, it was a hospital room and I heard voices outside the door and I recognized one, Leondre’s. He is talking to Arya, scolding her. I sigh and force myself out of bed and drag my legs toward them. They turn to me, looking relieved.

‘You need more rest,’ Leondre’s monotone says and I squint my eyes, is he angry at me? He better not because I’m the angry one here.

He carries me back to the room and lies me on the bed.

‘How do you feel,’ Arya asks, stroking my hair.

‘I’m fine, where’s Edward,’

A low growl erupts from Leon’s chest and I try not to roll my eyes. He found out that I was with him and now, he’s jealous.

I extend my hand to him and he takes it.

‘Can we go home now?’ I ask.

‘In a few, the doctor is coming to check on you first,’ He says. Arya excuses herself and leaves the room.

‘How are you feeling,’

‘I’m alright, Leon, it was just a little smoke,’ I laugh and he bends down to kiss me, the kiss is long, sweet, and soft. We are interrupted when the door opens and Edward walks in, he gives me a tiny smile and I smile back.

‘So does anyone care to fill me in on what’s going on?’ He says and Leondre takes the coffee from his hand and sits next to me.

‘That guy who attacked us is Amacus, he’s a wizard,’ I start.

‘And he wants you because he believes you took his magic when you were a child? How absurd,’ Edward sighs after I finish telling him about Amacus.

‘Yep,’

‘He has bears and rogues on his side, you need to attack him before he comes to you, you risk too many casualties,’

‘You think I don’t know that? The bastard is hiding well and the only person who might know his location is in a coma,’ My mate says. Edward is right, we have to find him soon, Amacus is getting closer to us each day and it doesn’t sit well with me. The cabin was in the sapphire royal territory yet he and his rogues came to us. The door opens and the doctor walks in, he smiles and Leon gives him space to work. He does a routine check and I hiss when he presses his fingers against my abdomen.

‘Well, you are alright, Luna and congratulations once more,’ He says, I look at him dumbfounded and Leon stands next to my bed, ‘Congratulations?’

‘For what?’ I ask.

‘The baby was unharmed,’

My heart drops at his words.

‘What baby?’ Arya has just walked back in, carrying a tray of fruits.

‘You are pregnant, two months,’ He informs us, I was still, I didn’t realize I missed my cycle. Arya squeals, putting the tray down and coming to hug me, I’m rigid, again. I don’t know how to feel about this, I’m scared, worried, and satisfied all at once but most of all, fear. What if I lose this baby again?.

‘Congratulations,’ Edward beams. Leon’s face breaks into a smile, and he kisses it multiple times.

‘Hey, don’t worry, Okay,’ He says gently and I nod. He pulls me in his arms for a long hug and I hold him, smiling and crying. After the bliss, I look at them seriously.

‘I don’t want anyone else to know this,’ I say.

‘Why it’s good news, and the packs need to celebrate! It’s an heir they’ve been yapping about,’

‘Please, Arya,’ I insist and she nods sadly. I want to keep it to ourselves until the second trimester. Leondre kisses the top of my head and I wrap my arms around his waist.

‘I love you,’

Life went back to normal, there was more work than ever at the foundations but we pushed through and made sure we catered to the needs of those who needed it.

A week later, we welcomed Alpha Blanco to the castle, after what happened with Melody, my mate insisted on cutting all ties with their pack so he is here to change his mind. Edward stayed in the city longer in attempts to find his mate but it was fruitless. I feel bad for him.

After setting for an intimate dinner party this evening, I started welcoming guests, the first ones to arrive were Arya and Jacob who looked gorgeous, followed by Jeanette, Betty, and Michelle along with their husbands.

We engaged in conversation as we waited for the rest to come.

‘Queen Anaiah!’ Rhea has just walked into the room, she is glowing with happiness in her new life with Dan.

‘I’m good, congrats by the way,’ She says and I squint my eyes.

‘Oh the king told Dan who told me, but don’t worry we didn’t tell anyone else,’ She giggles and I nod, glaring at my mate.

‘What happened to keep my condition a secret,’ I hiss through the mind link.

‘I didn’t tell anyone,’

‘You told Dan who told Rhea,’ I say.

‘He’s my closest friend and I didn’t know we weren’t supposed to tell him,’ He says. I exhale. Men.

‘Who else did you tell,’

‘Hm, no one,’ I can tell that he is lying.

‘Names, now,’ I demand.

‘Mom and dad?’ I gape, shooting daggers at him and he gives me a smile that says I know I’m in big trouble. I shake my head and continue conversing with the ladies until Alpha Blanco enters the room. He pays his respect to me by bowing and kissing my hand.

‘Welcome Alpha,’ I say.

‘It’s always lovely to see you, my dearest Queen,’ His eyes twinkle with mischief, he has made it clear to me jokingly that he wishes I was part of his harem, and I’d outshine them.

‘No praises about wanting me as part of your collection? You injure me,’ I tease. He laughs and smiles.

‘I have found my centerpiece, she’s a treasure to behold, your highness, no offense,’

‘None was taken, as long as you are pleased,’

‘I hope it brings you consolation when I say you shine brightest in any room you stand in,’ He winks and bows once again before making his way to Leon.

‘He’s such a flirt,’ Betty giggles.

As we go back to our earlier discussion, a growl reverberates from the room and we all turn our attention to Alpha Edward.
