Nyx's pov

I walked into the patio wearing one of the dresses Lycus had gotten for me. He had requested that we have a private breakfast today. I had put in enough effort to make myself look nice. I let my hair fall and applied slight lip gloss to my lips before putting on the cute maxi dress he had purchased the other day.

He saw me walk in and waved his hands at the guards stationed there signalling at them to leave, a smile formed on his lips as I advanced further.

I reached the table, he drew out a seat patted on it for me to sit and I did as he suggested.

"Good morning." He smiled leaning in closer to me and placing a kiss on my lips, "Hmm…strawberries." He hummed pleasantly at the flavour of the lip gloss.

"Hi…" I greeted back shyly trying to hide my blush, "Did you sleep well?" I asked. I was trying hard to carry on and form conversations as willow and Helena told me, even Hera had said so too, they wanted me to put in effort in making us work.

"I did." He said, "And you?" He asked and I nodded in affirmative. Servants came in carrying trays of food and my stomach rumbled as the aroma hit my nostrils, Lycus chuckled at this. The servants dropped the food and I said a Thank you to them before he sent them away.

"Let's dig in." He said and we began to eat.

"Favorite colour?" He asked plucking a grape fruit and putting it in his mouth, "And favourite movie?"

"It's silver, just like my wolf." I answered with a light smile, "And I don't have a favorite movie."

"How so?" He looked at me surprised, "Who doesn't?"

i never had the luxury of a television till I came here, I wanted to say but I couldn't, "I just can't pick any one but I really like the one we saw at the movies the other day." I said blushing at the memory of what had happened then, "What's your favourite colour and movie?"

"It's white and favorite movie is Twilight." I nodded at his reply and took a sip from my tea cup.

"Maybe, you could show it to me some day."

"I will."

The meal continued in silence apart from times where we made small talk with each other which aided us in knowing each other more.

I was really happy with the development of our relationship and I wondered if we were going to mate soon, it had always been in me to ask but I didn't, not knowing what his reaction would be like. Even if things were going really well for us now and even better for Spyro and Hera, I still had this constant fear of things messing up and me ending up hurt again, I just couldn't shake it off.

We finished the breakfast and he kissed me goodbye claiming he had work to do. Amara was out playing and I couldn't hang out with Willow nor Helena cause they were busy, it made me wish I had something to do by myself.

Having nothing to do, I decided to wander about the pack house by myself knowing no one would dare harm me since I was obviously under the King's protection now. I walked and explored ignoring the side talks and looks of disgust casted my way. They didn't matter anymore as far as Lycus was giving in to me, nothing they said mattered.

I was on the second floor when I felt a pull at my hand with a hand clamped at my mouth preventing me from screaming. I was shoved into a room and pressed against the wall before the hold on my being was released.

"Andros!" I shrieked realising who it was, "What was that for?"

"I didn't want you to scream." He said sheepishly.

"Gosh." I groaned, "If you had said oh hey Nyx wanna come in? Would I have screamed?" Sarcasm dripped from my tone.

"I am sorry." He said going over to the bed to sit on it. I used the opportunity to look at the room well. It was painted white with a small bed in the middle which he now sat on, the room was dark due to the blinds being dropped, "Where were you headed?" He asked as I walked towards where he was, joining him on the bed.

"Nowhere." I shrugged, "Just walking around aimlessly, I am bored."

"Isn't your mate keeping you company anymore?" He snorted and I hit him playfully choosing not to reply, "You could hang out with me."

We stayed in his room for quite some time talking about random things and him making fun of me. I was having fun and gradually began to forget about missing Lycus when I heard my phone beep.

I miss you. I read the text over and over again zoning out on what Andros was telling me. He missed me? Lycus missed me? I couldn't believe what I read.

I can't wait to see you later Nyx, He texted again and I almost jumped. We were making a lot of progress. I smiled at my phone sheepishly wondering what to reply when the phone was suddenly snatched out of my hands.

"Who got you smiling like that?" Andros smirked dangling the phone in his hand. He leapt off the bed before I could catch him.

"Give it back!" I growled.

"Nope." He giggled before taking a look at the screen. The playful look on his face morphed into something else instantly, Anger, "What the hell?!" He frowned throwing the phone at me.

"What is your problem?" I managed the catch the phone before it hit the ground, "You could have broken it!"

"You are so naive!" He growled, "That is my problem!" He ran his fingers through his hair, "He doesn't fucking miss you! He's an asshole!"

"Don't talk about him like that!" I growled feeling anger rising in me, "He is my mate!"

"A mate who doesn't want you! Your naivety is getting on my fucking nerves Nyx!"

"I am not naive!" I barked at him really getting angry.

"Yes, you are!" He retorted, "If you weren't, you will see that he is just using you and you will see that I really like you."

"You are just jealous that he is making effort in winning me over which means that I can't get with you!" I said to him and he looked taken aback by my words. I watched as his brows furrowed in anger and a very scary growl came out from his mouth.

"At least my intentions are genuine, they have always been!" He advanced towards me causing me to take a step back, "When he is done with you and casts you aside to mate with the beta, do not come running to me!"

His words stung and I could feel the tears forming in my eyes as the words hit me. I couldn't understand why I can't be happy without something ruining it, tears began to fall and his face fell seeing that he had hurt me, "Nyx…" He tried reaching out for me and i backed away from him, "I didn't mean it like that, I am sorry."

I didn't say anything, I only opened the door and left the room ignoring him as he yelled after me. I didn't care if he was sorry, I do not want to see Andros again and at the moment I only need Lycus.
