*third update for today*🤧🤧🤧🤧

Nyx's pov.

Lycus met me outside after I waited for him for a while. We were walking towards the dining hall now.

"Don't think I will let you go Scott free with the stunt you just pulled." He glared at me as he repeatedly adjusted his slacks, "I am going to punish you so hard, you will regret it."

I clenched my thighs at his words and he smirked seeing my reaction. He winked at me before finally walking through the hall doors.

We all sat after they had paid respect to him. Helena had placed a kiss on my cheek before I took my seat next to Lycus. Willow caught my eye and winked at me before turning back to the person she was talking to.

I felt nervous as I could feel the beta's burning gaze on me, it was so full of hate and contempt. I wanted to get up and bolt immediately if not for the warm hand that landed on my thigh. His hand stayed there caressing it calming me a bit.

The servants came in to serve the food and soon we began to eat.

I munched greedily on the pancakes not caring much for dining etiquettes as the Beta looked at me in disgust.

Lycus only smiled at me and then I felt his travel up my thigh. I became alarmed and brushed it away, he couldn't play dirty at the breakfast table. He stifled a laughter at my reaction before leaning close to my ear, "If I want to, I will." He whispered to me and I choked on my drink.

He smirked before turning back to his food, his hand placed on my lap again rubbing slow torturous circles. I silently prayed that he wouldn't try anything, I wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Hey Nyx." The Beta called me all of a sudden and I looked up at her trying to muster a fake smile, "How does it feel to be the King's whore?" She asked with a sinister sneer curling up her lips.

I felt Lycus grip my thigh really hard and the other hand gripped the spoon so hard I felt for it, his face morphed in sheer anger.

"Cat got your tongue?" She smirked at me seeing that I wasn't saying anything, "You are just a hump and dump, when he is done he wi…"

"Get out!" Lycus roared and everyone's neck bowed in submission at the power he emanated at the moment, "Get up and get out Laya!" He barked at her.

She looked too stunned to speak, she was surprised that he had stood up for me at the table, "But-I-wee-." She stuttered which made me smile.

"Get on your knees!" He growled, "Apologise to my mate and get out! Dare question your King and see the consequences!" He got more scarier at the moment and she rounded the table and dropped on her knees immediately, kneeling before me.

"I am sorry." She squeaked, "I am really sorry."

I only nodded at her not knowing what to say. He took my hand and drew me towards him, sitting me on his lap before dropping his head down to my neck and sniffing me, he was trying to calm down.

She was still there on her knees and it looked like she was going to burst into tears any moment from now. Everyone at the table was still in shock including that stand by guards.

yes! This bitch has been put in her place! Hera screamed happily.

"Get up and get lost." He growled once more and she immediately scrambled to her feet and ran out of the dining hall.

I tried to get up but he forced me in place with just a hand on my waist. My heart did flip flops at what had just happened. He brought my plate before us and began to spoon feed me in front of everyone.

They all gasped in shock.

"Does anyone have anything to say?" He asked in a threatening voice and they only shook their heads and turned back to their food, "Good." He nodded at them before turning back to feed me.

After the breakfast I was in my room putting away Amara's things when I heard a hurried knock at the door. I went to answer the door to see Lycus standing there with a very worried look on his face.

"Come." He said taking my hand and I had no choice than to follow him.

"Where are we going?" I asked him as I tried keeping up with his pace. He was taller hence faster and longer steps.

"The higher elders and members of the wolf's council wants to meet with you." He said leading me into an entirely different passage I had never been to before.

"What? Why? What did I do?" I asked him not paying attention to the guards that greeted us as we passed, "What's going on Lycus?"

"Look." He stopped in his tracks and turned to face me. His hands came to my shoulders, he squeezed them before dropping a kiss on my lips, "Calm down love, everything will be fine."

I nodded at his words believing him as he led me to twin doors that were really huge, the doors opened and we walked in.

There was a conference table in the middle with lots of seats. I could see familiar elders of the pack, other elders that I haven't seen and members of the wolf's council whom were foreign to me, I could only recognise Lycus's mother and she had a worried look on her face too.

"Here she is." He spoke as we got closer to the table, "Be quick with whatever questioning you have and any one who makes her uncomfortable I will snap your neck!" He glared at them as he sat, I took the seat next to him with my hands folded across my laps, I couldn't look up at them, my heart was beating fast so I focused my gaze on playing with my fingers.

"You are a silver wolf?" One of them spoke accessing me with a critical gaze.

"Yes." I nodded managing to meet his gaze, "I am."

"What pack are you from?" Another asked and my heart thundered in me, I tensed up at this sensitive question, "I said what pack are you from?" He asked again.

"Don't be scared Nyx." Lycus placed a hand on my back trying to calm me, "Just calm down and answer, I am here for you."

"I am a rogue." I said and it wasn't necessarily a lie, I was a rouge for a few hours before I was found right?

"You do know you are an abomination right? And you cannot be the queen luna." Another one said hitting the mark. I felt Lycus tense up and I could tell he was trying hard to control himself, "How are we sure you aren't tricking him that you are mates?"

"She isn't tricking me!" He snapped at them, "You sound really dumb!"

"My King." A female spoke this time, "She is a rouge, an omega, comes from no pack and is a silver wolf with a daughter only goddess knows how she got!" At this point I was holding the tears back, "You are naive, we understand and you crave a mate but after what has happened before, you want to repeat the same mistake and go through hell again, worse could happen this time!"

"You are wrong, it's real, I literally felt the sparks, the connection." He argued.

"That was what you said the last time." One of them chipped in and I saw lycus face fall.

what is this last time everyone is talking off? I pondered before I got hit with the next statement.

"Abominations are to be gotten rid off!" Another one said and Lycus said nothing this time, "She is a threat!"

"She is not!" Helena growled standing up, "How dare you speak about her like that?" She banged her fist on the table, "Can't you see that she is real and you all are making assumptions." She continued, "I did my research and according to the ancient books, she is part of the 'potens lupi'" Everyone gasped at her statement as if it was shocking to hear.

"You must have surely lost your mind Helena." The one who spoke when I first came in snorted, "What are you blabbing about?"

"It is in the books." I said and all eyes turned to me, "She read it to me."

"What books do you speak off?" One of them asked.

"You know what books!" She growled at them, "The ancient books containing the laws and everything about werewolves and each and everyone of you here has a copy!" She said and they all nodded.

Before I could say Jack, similar books to the ones I have seen in Helena's office appeared before the elders, guess they all had magical powers.

They opened the books and began to flip through the pages and I became calm knowing that they will find proof of what Helena had said and leave me alone.

"No, it can't be." Helena was the first to cry out as a look of horror came upon her face, "This is wrong, the books have been tampered with!"

"No one can tamper with the books Helena." One of them said with an eye roll, "Surely, something ails you! It clearly states here that she is an abomination, where ever did you get your piece of information from?"

I couldn't believe my ears, what was going on? Helena looked like she was about to burst into tears meaning they were right. I truly was an abomination so either she had lied to me to sate me or she had read wrongly but either way they were right. I don't think she lied to me with the way she was still arguing about what she had seen. So either she read wrong or someone tampered with the books.

"We can't have her here! She is deceiving you! She is clearly a fraud! She can't be your mate! She is an abomination! She should be ended as stated in the books! Cast her away, she doesn't belong here!" I heard the different voices saying horrible things and they didn't mind that I was seated right there. Helena kept arguing with them and Lycus just stayed mute.

"Silence!" He roared deciding that he had had enough, "This meeting is over!"

"Not until you decide to end that abomination seated next to you, we won't stop until she's gone!" That was what broke me. The tears flowed as I stood up running out of the room despite Lycus and Helena screaming my name. I didn't pay heed, I just ran and ran till I got to a balcony.

I leaned on the railing with the tears flowing down my cheeks, I couldn't help it. The words rang in my ears and I couldn't get them out. All these while I thought I was something special but I was truly an abomination.

I was a failure. No matter how well Helena tried to defend me, they still wanted me gone.

"Trouble in paradise?" I heard a voice say behind me. I spun around to meet the Beta and her mother smirking at me with evil looks on their faces.

"I told you that you will never be wanted here!" The mother scoffed at me, "Look at you drenched in your tears."

"The sooner you leave, the better." Laya chipped in, "Slut!" She sneered at me before turning away with her mother.

I stood there numb as hell. I didn't say a word to them, I didn't have the strength, I was tired in and out. I was emotionally drained.

My phone beeped and I took it out to look at it.

are you okay Nyx? I heard what happened, Please reply, where are you? I read Andros's text again before stuffing the phone back in my pockets.

I turned around and leaned on the railing crying my eyes out and with everything that had happened throughout my life and at this point, I was sure the moon goddess hated me. She had a way of making me happy for a while before sending down full blown sadness.

I just wished that she would take my life right now.
