Nyra: The rejected mate revenge

Chapter 3

When Nyra opened her eyes, Alpha Jaxon was keeping to his promise to her - Making her wish she never met him. She was hanging from a metal surface from the ceiling, her head faced downwards, making blood rush down in full intensity to her brain.

Alpha Jaxon was sited in the chair facing her while Ravenna whom Nyra found out was the Alpha's Beta, oversaw her being punished according. He couldn't keep a straight face as Nyra cried in pain especially when the whip came in contact with her bare body. His wolf could barely watch as she got punished but Alpha Jaxon was a man of discipline and he had to get the information he needed.

Ravenna ordered the warrior in charge to keep whipping Nyra until she confessed as to who sent her to kill the Lycan King. Anyone watching the scene would actually think that Ravenna was the one wronged instead of Alpha Jaxon.

Ravenna had been an obedient follower of the King hoping that one day, he would chose her over every girl that was drooling over him. Yes, they had s*x a couple of times but that was only it. Jaxon didn't want any commitment in their relationship because she was just want he used to quench his hunger for s*x.

Jaxon knew he had to find out the truth from Nyra as to be able to know his next moves and to protect himself, knowing that he had many enemies. Who could have sent such a young woman to kill him?

She was beautiful and had pretty eyes, he noticed when he stared into her eyes when she came into his hotel room. She looked so innocent that Jaxon still couldn't believe that she was sent to kill him. It was such a pathetic sight and to think that the mate he had waited for, was the one sent to kill him.

“Stop it.” Jaxon screamed at the warriors doing the whipping like he was doing something wrong, even Ravenna was suprised at his outburst.

“We can't stop now. We need to find out from her..”

“I'll handle this.” Jaxon said quietly to Ravenna then turned to the warrior in charge. “Release her, now.”

Ravenna didn't understand why the King was being like this. Everyone knew that the King was always ready to torture his enemies, that was his only language since he wanted all his enemies dead. What was so different about this woman that he was releasing her without getting the information he needed from her?

Ravenna starred as he stood up from his seat, approaching Nyra who was even too tired to say anything. He touched her face like he had never touched hers. In anger, Ravenna walked out of the room.

Jaxon understood why Ravenna was so angry. Even him didn't understand what he was feeling and what he was doing.

“I never imagined my mate would be a criminal..” He said, speaking to no one in particular as he stared at Nyra.

“I'm not a criminal or a murderer..” Nyra's voice trailed off. The past 3 days, she's had people call or address her as a criminal so she wanted to make it clear to Jaxon who was shocked at her response. He had thought she was unconscious.

“Then why were you going to kill me?”

“I was doing that for my protection.” Nyra said. She was really too tired to speak and wished the man could shut up and help her since he had ordered her down from the ceiling.

“Tell me who sent you and I promise not to hurt you or let anyone hurt you.”

Nyra tried to smile. She has heard that promise from different people who had ended up leaving her on her own. Drake has promised her that, Isabella too but where were they when she needed them? Now, her second chance mate was doing the same thing.

Nyra knew that keeping Isabella's name with her was not going to make any difference. Jaxon could kill her and Isabella would never come for her since she had already breached their contract by not killing the Lycan king.

“She's Alpha Isabella.”

“That b***h!” Jaxon swore, not just because she was his enemy but because he couldn't believe she could go this low to kill him.

“You promised not to hurt me so please keep to your word.” Nyra begged, looking into his eyes. There was just something that her eyes always did to him whenever their eyes met. He noticed that she was losing consciousness so he took her to his room and sent for the healer.

The healer arrived, taking care of Nyra, giving her the herbs that would help her heal faster. Jaxon had given them space since the ointment needed to be used on her naked body. Not like he hadn't seen her naked body before but he just had to clear his mind too.

Nyra had regained consciousness now and was now smiling at what the healer was saying when Ravenna walked in. She was in search of the King but had instead found the murderer in his room, making small talks with the healer.

How dare she? She had no right!

“What are you doing here?” Ravenna asked.

Nyra couldn't even say a word. She felt like she had no right to speak to the Alpha's mistress and Beta.

“The King let her stay here..” The healer was trying to speak but Ravenna shut her up rudely.

“Leave!” She screamed at her and the healer scurried out in fear leaving her instruments. “Look at me, you bitch.” Ravenna ordered Nyra. “Even though you are Jaxon's mate, I'll never let you become Luna. You are still a criminal and you'll always be.”

“I don't want to be Luna.” Nyra managed to say but Ravenna couldn't let her finish.

“Of course, a criminal like you doesn't deserve it.”

Just then, Jaxon walked into the room and ordered Ravenna to follow him. He had seen the healer scurry out and had thought he was done with Nyra but he heard the loud voice of Ravenna scolding Nyra in his room.

He wondered if he had been too lenient with Ravenna that she had to walk into his room to harass his visitor.

“I don't ever want a repeat of that.” The King ordered, his hands behind him. “She is my quest and as you know, my mate..”

“So what happens to us?”

“There's nothing between us. There has never been anything, no feeling whatsoever between us.” Jaxon stated, not batting an eyelid. “You should be careful of the way you speak to Nyra, she has come to stay.”

Ravenna was surprised that he had already found out the criminal's name. Nyra or whatever her name, was going to be a threat to her existence and she had to find a way to take her out of the picture.

Ravenna had a smirk on her face. She'll be damned to have a criminal marry Jaxon and be her Luna. Never!
