The Lycan’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 155

Caliana's

POV

Everyone erupted in cheers and Alpha Edward grabbed my waist and pulled me closer to him as he connected our lips. The kiss was gentle and tantalizing, we moved in sync and a moan escaped my lips, like a greedy person, I wanted more and more but I couldn't, I had to remind myself that he hates me and has shown it everywhere. I pulled away from him and he growled lowly at me. I was surprised.

We turned to face the audience and they all bowed to us including Love. I sent a kiss in her direction and gestured for her to come to me, she ran and I crouched down, hugging her. My eyes met my stepmother and brother in the crowd, they were sending fake smiles my way, probably happy that they will receive a huge sum of money again and probably for the cameras.

"YEH!" Love cheered, making everyone giggle at her cuteness.

For the after-party, I changed into an elegantly simple white dress. Everyone was dancing and laughing, many pack members came to congratulate us and to my dismay, Candace and her bitches were there but they didn't cause any trouble. The Master of the ceremony announced that it was the bride and groom dance, my mate extended his hand to me, he was grumpy. We danced to the music slowly and as we did, it was just us two on the rooftop. A few couples joined us and he pulled away. "Excuse me," He husked, he went to talk to Michael and Jamal, whatever they were discussing was serious because he was pissed. Garret asked me to dance and I accepted, I was smiling as we swayed to a fast Spanish song. Garret was even singing along to it and he twirled me, I yelped and laughed but stopped when I felt the Alpha's dangerous gaze on me. f**k. His stare didn't intimidate his cousin though so we continued until Marcus interrupted us, asking me for a dance. I glanced at him and then at Garret who nodded for me to dance. The young brother looked at me suspiciously.

"So you and Garret are close heh," He started. I cleared my throat.

"I wouldn't say close,"

"Nonsense, you are," He said but before I could say a word. I felt it, the scent of my best friend, Levy.

"Excuse me, Marcus," I bowed politely, he furrowed his eyebrows but I ran to the entrance and jumped into Levy's arms. I held him close to me for a long time until a growl resounded from the crowd.

"Hi, besty," I smiled and he kissed my cheek. He looked at me with so much affection, I could hear the growls of my mate in the background but I didn't care about him right now. The clearing of a throat close by jolted me and I realized that Levy wasn't alone. He was with a pretty bombshell who looked badass in her leather pants and tank top and boots.

"Hello, Cali. My name is Emilia and I'm your best friend's worst nightmare, good job not introducing us, Levy," She said and extended her hand to me, I smiled and shook it.

"Hi, I'm Caliana but you already knew that," I corrected, and we both giggled.

Emilia was Levy's mate, they met in England not so long ago. We talk for a while and Emilia is jolly. Her phone rings again and she frowns, excusing herself to answer.

"I'm sorry guys, this woman won't stop calling me!" She hissed, glaring at it. I was left with Levy, he sighed and caressed my cheek.

"How are you, peanut?" He asked. Peanut, he always called me that, my dad did too.

"I'm well,"

"Does he treat you well?" We glanced at the Alpha who was now approaching us and I sighed.

"Yes,"

Levy is now happy with his mate, I don't want to ruin that.

"What is going on here?" Alpha Edward asked.

"Oh Alpha, this is my friend, Levy," I introduced them. Surprisingly, Edward shook Levy's hand but I could tell that both men didn't like each other. They exchanged pleasantries and my husband not so politely took me away, saying that he wanted to initiate me into the pack, all I had to do was drink his blood and pledge my allegiance to him.
