The Lycan’s Rejected Mate
Chapter 180

Caliana's

POV

The rest of the days I did my duty but my wolf was urging me to go for a run, however, I didn't know what to do. I've been avoiding going for a run to my favorite spot because Alpha Henderson will be there.

He somehow knew my schedule and it creeped me out however, he mentioned Alpha Edward having a mate so I made it my mission to learn about that. I didn't know he had one before me.

Today during my visit to the hospital, a pack member complimented me about the work I do and said I'm far much better than the previous Luna, however when I asked the young woman to tell me more, she panicked and evaded the question. After a while, I gave up. I've been visiting the pack house these days in hopes I'd see the girl who mentioned Alpha Edward's former Luna but I didn't. She must not be staying in the pack house, I tried to ask Juanita or Aubrey about the former Luna but they didn't say anything, it's like they were ordered not to and my curiosity just grew. Why is she such a mystery, heck I don't even know her name?

'Maybe she did something really bad and you should let it go, Liana suggested.

'As if you don't know me, curiosity has already been planted in my tiny brain and I want to know, arent you a bit curious?' I asked her.

'I am but these people behave as if asking about her is taboo,

I'm curious to know what she looked like, her personality, just anything. The woman who broke his heart, he did mention once that women only want to take advantage and I'm sure he meant his first Luna.

I was waiting for Love in the driveway as I always do, deep in my thoughts when the hairs on my body suddenly stood up and I was alerted by Liana that we were being watched by our mate. I calmed myself and avoided looking at him. The car soon arrived and Love jumped out of the car, running to me. We hugged each other and I took her bag.

"Any cookies for me?"

"Always," I said, taking her to the garden where our table was arranged. She beamed and immediately grabbed one cookie to eat as she told me about her day.

"Love," I got her attention, "I've been wanting to ask you something,"

"What is it?"

"Does your daddy talk about your mommy?" The little girl was visibly caught off guard by my question she knitted her brows and frowned.

"She left when I was a baby," she answered. What did she mean by left? Is she dead, banished? Did she abandon them? Love didn't seem too sad about it, but maybe it was because she didn't even know her.

"Do you have a picture of her?" I asked and her eyes lit up before looking around for anyone.

"Yes but you can't tell Dad,"

"Why?"

"He's just always so glum when I asked about it before and so we don't talk or keep her pictures," she said, drinking her milk.

"And how did you get her picture if your daddy didn't have any?" I was gentle in my tone, trying to act not too concerned and she emulated my energy.

"It was given to me by Gran Gran," she said. From what I know, the brother's mother died four years ago, does she mean her mother's parents before I can ask again, she answered.

"She doesn't come here anymore, I think she wanted to get me and dad got so mad," she shrugged her shoulders. I forced a smile on my lips and urged her to drink more milk. "I'm not sad though," she continued.

"Not sad about your Mommy or Gran Gran?"

"Both because you are here now, and dad said you love me so much and will never leave," she smiled, and my heart melted in my chest.

"Your dad is right, Love,"

"He always is," She said proudly.

I couldn't help but bring her closer to me, hugging her tightly and Liana vowed to protect her as I did...

"What are you talking about?" The Alpha's voice startled me and I jerked up, looking over my shoulders. He looked unhappy with me, did he hear our conversation?
