Lycan Heart-The Rejected Mate 0010
~Zane’s POV:“Alpha De Luca?” There was a gentle knock on the door of my office, followed by the voice of my assistant. “Are you there, Alpha?”“Come in,” I responded, putting aside the file I had been reading. The door opened and in walked Sheila, my assistant, carrying her usual tablet close to her chest. She bowed to greet and I nodded in acknowledgment before asking “Is there something wrong?”“Um, yes,” She walked towards me. “Ms. Vivian called and asked that I inform you that Ms. Cana had quit her position at the restaurant.”My brows creased upon hearing the announcement. “What?”“She said she found a better offer elsewhere.”Lies, I could tell, after all, Cana herself had admitted to being new in this city, there was no way she could have gotten a better offer overnight. Then, did that mean she quit because she didn’t want to be near me?The thought made my heart heavy and out of habit, I took off my reading glasses and pinched the bridge of my nose. Why was Cana trying so

~Axel's POV:I was as angry as a bull when I got back home. How dare those two treat me like I wasn't the alpha of the Manhattan pack. I hadn't expected much from Cana, but Zane, everything about what he did today hit me like a truck. Our packs had been in a no-violence treaty for years. We cooperated and existed like neighboring villages, but now, he had broken that treaty. The bastard had the guts to lay his hand on me and it was all because of Cana. I wasn't sure what type of sorcery she had used on Zane, but I'd be an idiot to sit on my butt and watch her caddy about her wicked plan. "We have to expose her evil deeds and bring her in front of both packs to apologize, only then would she have atoned for the disgrace she caused us today.' My wolf growled and I agreed. That is the best way to handle this situation, I thought as I climbed up the stairs and scoffed as I remembered Zane's words. Yeah right, no Alpha in his right mind would ever accept a mate as useless and weak a

~Cana’s POV:“Alright, now I know I agreed to go along with you, but first, we have to lay down some ground rules,” Pulling out a white piece of paper and grabbing a pen, I took a seat opposite Zane and placed the writing materials on the coffee table in between us. “Ground rules?” He arched his brows and stared at me like I had just said something he never expected to hear from me. “Like what?”“Firstly,” I picked up the pen as I began. “I shall not be forced to do, say, or wear things I am not comfortable with, nor want to do.”After scribbling that down, I paused and glanced in his direction. He nodded once, indicating that he was listening and agreed to my first set of rules. “Secondly,” I resumed writing. “We are not, in any way, shape or form, mates. You’re still betroth, which means whatever it is we have, is just an arrangement. Is that clear?”Zane’s eyes flickered with uncertainty, but he nodded once.“Good. Next, I want a room, preferably the one farthest away from yours

“You!” Callahan hissed and in seconds, I was yanked off the floor by my upper arm. I winced in pain, but Callahan paid no heed and continued.“Who let you in here? How dare you have the guts to step foot in here, huh?”“Let go!” I struggled to free myself, but his grip was firm.“Not until you answer my questions,” He glared down into my eyes with uncalled-for anger and my eyes narrowed. Ever since the first day, I never could understand why he hated me. He saw me for a few seconds and ultimately decided I was a threat to his pack. Now, threat or not, I did not appreciate the way I was being treated. So, ignoring the urge to fight my way out of his grasp like a rogue, I politely asked. “Let go of me, sir. This is highly inappropriate.”Callahan didn’t let go. He only increased the pressure, causing me to cry out in pain, and said the pain was slowly turning into anger, anger that would burst forth at any moment. “Uncle!”Thankfully, Zane’s voice sounded out before that could happ

Cana’s POV: I slept over Zane’s words as he had suggested. Sun down the following day, I made my way towards his room and gently knocked on the door. It only took a few seconds before the door swung open, revealing Zane in a black robe that barely covered his chest and reading glasses. He regarded me for a second, before asking. “Is everything okay?”I quickly averted my gaze from his exposed chest, twiddling with my fingers “Yeah, everything’s fine. I uh…thought about your offer.”“Ah, I see,” Opening his door wider, an obvious invitation into his room, Zane turned around and walked further Into his room. “Come in, let’s discuss more if you want.”I hesitated for a few seconds, before finally following behind him. The scent of his pheromones was stronger, lingering in the air like perfume sprayed fervently. I gulped and felt the pit in my stomach knot funnily, but I decided to ignore it. “So,” He sat opposite me once I had taken my seat, placing his arms on his knees and intertw

Cana’s POV:“A welcoming party?” Zane arched a brow at the new information I had just given him, which had just been given to me by Penelope. I nodded, gathering the files I was meant to turn into H.R.’s office. “Penelope said it’s a ritual, throwing parties for newbies.” I didn’t allow it to show on my face, but the idea of attending a party made me feel excited. I was finally starting a life free of worry, free of the mocking stares of my pack members, and most importantly, free of the fear that haunted me each time I doubted Axel’s love. I breathed out in relief at the thought. God, that type of life sounded blissful and that was the type of life I was going to live starting now. “I’ve never heard of it,” Zane’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I paused and tilted my head in a questioning manner. Was that a joke? Zane had never heard of a party being thrown at his own company. Was he engrossed in his work? Shaking my head, I asked. “What a boss you are.”“So, you’re goin

~Zane’s POV:I stared at the last message Cana had sent. Seated in the driver seat of my car, I glanced up at the location Ashley had sent me, the location where Cana’s party was happening, and wondered if I needed to come here.She seemed to have been having fun, or at least her message said so. So, there wasn’t any danger and any need to be here. Silently, I breathed out a sigh of relief, ready to return home and await Cana’s arrival. But the action was cut short when the sound of the back door, one which I happened to be parked in front of, flew open. It banged against the wall with such force that it instantly grabbed my attention and I was thankful because if it hadn't happened that way, I never would have seen that bastard carrying Cana’s unconscious body out. My heart skipped a beat and anger erupted in the depths of my stomach like blooming flowers. “Hey!” I called out as I stepped out of the car, not even caring to slam the door behind me.Jason, that bastard, froze and

~Cana’s POV:The first time I woke, it was to the feeling of scorching heat, traveling at an excruciatingly slow pace across my body. My throat was dry and thirsted for something I had never tasted. What it was, even I didn’t know. But I tried my best to pull my mind away from the thirst, stirring in the bed below me and trying to focus on prying the suffocating attire off my body. Voice, or rather, a voice, reached my ear. It sounded distant, but familiar nonetheless. The space beside me dipped, I wanted to open my eyes, but couldn’t bring my body to do so. Hands, gentle and comforting, ran themselves through my hair, and I felt myself being pulled against a cold surface. It was comforting, enough to get the fire in me dying down slowly.Coupled with the sweet smell that invaded my nostrils, I couldn’t fight against the sudden sleepiness and soon found myself drifting off, again.The second time I woke, the feeling was much more different. I felt less heated, but I guessed that c
