The Lycan’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 171

Edward's POV

"Caliana Meyers is your mate and you didn't tell us?" My brother was looking me in the eyes, I poured

a glass of scotch, still angry at what Candace did to her. Caliana would have died that day and why the f**k was she protecting her? 'She knew you'd never take her side over that b***h of yours,' Ward said. that's not true, I would have taken her side, she's my Luna.

'But you knew that she hurt her, Ward's accusatory tone rang in my ear. I didn't want to accept that Candace would even attempt such cruelty, in my eyes, she'll always be that little girl I grew up with but even I should recognize the change I see in her, this time it's not petty jealousy. It is hatred...

"I want Candace and whosoever was involved in the attack of the Luna to pay, send them to the penite Jamal threw himself on the couch

"So what did I miss while I was away in matters of the Luna," He sighed and I shrug

"The Meyers girl was attacked,"

center with hard labor, and afterward, they shall continue to do community service until I say otherwise," I told Marcus, he nodded, and left my office

"Your mate," He smiled and I wanted to smack the grin off his face. I can't believe I've said out loud that Calana Meyers is my mate.

"I heard she's been doing a great job, she surprised everyone," He added and I agreed.

"She hosted her first dinner last night and it was a success, everyone was pleased and those general bastards wouldn't stop peeking at her," "Are you jealous, brother?" He smirked.

"I don't want her, I'm not ready," I confessed.

"She's not Jane Anne, Edward, I just can't believe you rejected your mate, poor girl," He grimaced

"I didn't reject her," I told him defensively. People would judge me for my behavior towards my mate and I'm an a*****e for treating her the way I do but I have the right to refuse her because I'm incapable of trusting a woman, ever. The betrayal I've been through was grave. I adored Jane Ann yet I found out she was a spy who was used by Dean to bring my pack down, and on top of that, she cheated with another man after we had a child together. I rid myself of that memory, not wanting it anywhere near my life. My mind wandered to Caliana's luminous face, her complexity fragile and sensual. The way she leaned into me pport when she was anxious last night, made me want to protect her. She is vulnerable and sensitive yet strong-willed. I also noticed that she's getting

bolder nowadays and is not as scared of me as she was before, it's good.

I spent the whole day at my company working, and I kept receiving calls from the jail where Candace and June were being held but I didn't answer. Leaving my office, I went straight home, I kissed my sleeping daughter goodnight before going to my suite. I wondered if it has always been this cold..

Two days later, I'm sure Caliana was avoiding me and it's making Ward uneasy, he needed to see her, and take in her scent. Going to the Luna's office in town, I found that she was not there.

'Where's the Luna,' I asked her driver, Ronaldo, through the mind link.

'Um, sir, I warned her not to go there but she insisted,' Her driver said. I was confused as to what he was talking about.

'She's outside the gates... with the strays that reside in that area,

For a few months there have been werewolf and Lycan strays residing outside the main gate. We have tried to keep them out in the past but they keep coming back so we let them be as they don't cause trouble but what connection does my mate have with them? Caliana's POV

I was done sulking over a man that doesn't love me. Getting out of bed, I went to cash the cheque I was given by Alpha Edward. I've been wanting to get supplies for the rogues, and Mr.Tim told me that they didn't receive any treatment.

So I made a budget to get some cough medicines, and comforters, for the rest of the money I bought some food for them, this is not enough but they will have to make due. Mr. Tim helped us load the supplies in his white Van and followed behind our car. My driver, Ronald, was giving me a disapproving look. He thinks the Alpha will hate that we left the pack gates. We drove ten more minutes after the gate when I noticed two men in their Lycan form jogging beside the cars. "Who are they?"

"Your guards," He answered, keeping his eyes on the road.

"I have guards?"

"Yes, the Alpha assigned them to you after the attack," My wolf purred.

'He loves us, he wants us to be safe always, I only rolled my eyes at her but I must confess, it felt good knowing that he did this for me. I wiped away the smile that was beginning to form on my lips and I sighed "Good, we might use extra hands to unpack,"
