REJECTED FOR THE LYCAN KING

Chapter 7: Possessive b***h

I felt my world stop spinning when my body fell on the floor. I was shocked and winced in pain when I felt that my back had bumped into a tricky thing.

“Karina, what are you doing? What you did is outlawed! How can you hurt the Lycan King's woman?” Naomi shrieked in anger. She rushed towards me and helped me to stand up.

My back hurt, and I felt that I couldn't bend my body anymore. I don't understand why a woman was hurting me because of the Lycan King. I don't understand why I was the one who would need to blame because of jealousy.

As I moved my head up, I saw a beautiful woman in front of me. But seeing her face made me think why it was familiar. Her eyes were blue, the same as the Lycan King's eyes. She had glass skin, and she had pinkish lips.

Her brown curly hair made her have more queen vibes. Her eyes were sharp as if she was going to attack me once I turned my back on her. The woman in front of me blinked her eyes several times, slowly, she had a frown on her forehead.

“Naomi, are you going to report this to the Lycan King? I just want to teach her a lesson. Damon is mine!” The woman was about to attack me again when a large palm stopped her. I was surprised when I saw Clayton, but seeing his face made me think that he was sick.

When I was with the Lycan King in the hospital, I didn't notice that Clayton looked anything different because he was bowing his head. I thought he was doing that to give respect to the Lycan King.

“What are you doing here, Karina? You're not supposed to be here! Is your head not important to you?” Clayton gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on Karina.

Karina smirked, and she tried to be freed from Clayton's grasp, but she wasn't successful.

“Who do you think you are? I won't obey a man like you!” A woman named Karina screamed, which made Clayton ask the guards to drag Karina out of the women's room.

Seeing what Karina was wearing, I could see that she was from a noble or higher family. Those guards grabbed Karina's hands to stop her from fighting.

“You're such a b***h. Because of you, I got punished.” Clayton murmured, but even though he tried to lower his tone, I could still hear him.

Was he punished? The Lycan King punished Clayton for what? I didn't even notice that he was gazing at me as if he was wondering why I was watching him.

“I don't care if you get punished. Damn you! Asshole! He has one rule, that he can f**k one woman at a day, but he broke it. I was with him in the bathroom, and he was f*****g me. How could the Lycan break the rules because of this b***h?” Karina's eyes glowed red, and I felt bad for her. Did she think that I wanted to be with the Lycan for the whole night?

Clayton looked mad because of how Karina was talking to him. I could see that the veins in his neck were popping, and his eyes gleamed in anger.

“Shut up, b***h. You know the rules and you break them. The Lycan King will summon you whenever he wants, and…” Clayton stopped. He was gasping for air as if he couldn't breathe properly.

“Get this woman back to her room. Don't let her out, or else, I will make sure that all of your heads will be put on the plates.” Clayton ordered, and the guards started obeying him, which made Karina curse Clayton even more.

I don't understand why I felt bad for Clayton. He might look like a madman, but I do think that he deserves to be respected. Clayton was one of the Lycan King's Beta, and I'm sure that he had some power to punish Karina, but he didn't even do it.

Clayton glimpsed at me, he tried to look away, and my eyes widened in horror when I saw his back. There were a lot of blood stains on his clothes, and I do think that this was the reason why he mentioned to Karina that he got punished because of her.

“Clayton, are you alright?” I was about to ask Clayton but Naomi asked him quickly. I bit my lip to prevent myself from complaining about Naomi.

Clayton nodded. He chuckled as if he had successfully deceived us that he was fine.

“This is part of my work. Sadly, some possessive b***h disobeyed the law, and I didn't have a choice but to accept the punishment.” Clayton answered. I wanted to ask for more but I'm shy, especially when he stared at me.

Seeing Clayton's eyes made me want to swallow in nervousness. I felt sorry for him, and I couldn't believe that the Lycan did those things to his Beta. How could he hurt his Beta as if he wasn't part of his pack?

Aside from that, I couldn't understand why the woman named Karina attacked me. I didn't even know the reason why she was so mad at me, as if I had done something that wasn't nice to her because I didn't even know her.

“Anastasia, you need to be careful. Karina will get back to you. She's the possessive b***h that I'm talking about.” Clayton talked to me, which made me shake. Hearing his tone made me feel intimidated.

He licked his lips as if he was trying to prevent laughing at me. I was nervous that he would scold me because of Karina.

“You're so adorable,” Clayton commented, and I'm sure that I heard it before he told us that he needed to go back to where the Lycan was. He explained to me why he rushed to our place because someone reported to him that Karina would attack someone, and he knew that it was me.

I lowered my head when he even peeked at me for the last time before he left us. I couldn't remove my sight from Clayton. I thought that he was too kind, especially to me. Maybe he wanted me to be one of his friends.

I didn't notice how long I had seen Clayton walking, but I got back to my senses when Naomi cleared her throat. She looked away and grabbed me in my room.

Naomi looked worried, as if she was in a panic. I could stop myself from getting anxious because of her. She locked the door and told me to sit first.

“Is there something wrong, Naomi? Did I do something wrong?” I couldn't stop myself from asking her. Naomi took a hard breath before she sat beside me.

Naomi held my hand before she told me, “You shouldn't look at Clayton like that. If the Lycan King saw it, he could punish you. You are exclusive to the Lycan King, Anastasia.”

My mouth hung open in disbelief. I felt my cheeks burn as if I was caught doing nasty things behind the Lycan King's back.

“I'm not his mate, so I'm not exclusive to him. I don't like him, and I know that I was fated to be my mate.” I answered Naomi.

Naomi was bewildered because of what I told her. I was telling her the truth, and I don't think that I was owned by the Lycan King.

“You're lying. How can you not like someone like him? Especially when you have his love marks.”

“Naomi, I don't like him. I think I like someone else.” My tone rose, and I stopped when I heard the loud growl. Naomi was stunned, while I didn't dare to look at the door, because I was hoping that it wasn't the Lycan King. s**t, what the hell is he doing here?
