Rejected by My Alpha Mate; Nyra's Awakening

Chapter 32: Chapter 32: The Summon

All the questions sitting on her tongue, dies when her phone buzzes loudly in her pocket.

Nyra wants to ignore it, but the notifications keep buzzing. She pulls it out with a small frown, the messages are all from the group chat:

Lena: Nyra, have you seen this?? freewēbnoveℓ.com

---

Nyra sits frozen in the passenger seat of Jason’s truck, the phone still glowing in her lap.

She had literally almost fallen down from the horse after hearing the announcement, and Jason had to catch her.

From the moment she got tangled up in this bond with Adrian, it’s been absolutely exhausting.

How can Anna be pregnant!?

She didn’t get pregnant in two years. Two! But barely a month of him being mated to her, and she suddenly shows up pregnant.

Will she ever be able to catch a break!?

Nyra sighs for like the hundredth time in an hour. She hasn’t said a word since, but thankfully Jason’s been giving her space to brood.

She feels like there’s bile climbing up her throat. Adrian had slept with her, then went behind her back, badmouthed her to her sister, and then had sex with her--got her pregnant.

They must’ve planned it to get rid of her for good.

The countryside scenery that felt peaceful moments ago now blurs past her, completely unseen.

Suddenly, her phone starts to ring on her lap. The caller ID reads ’Luna Selene’. Nyra stares at the screen, heart pounding wildly.

To be honest, Luna Selena has been checking up on her nonstop since the screenshots leaked. She had pleaded with her not to give up on the bond, and asked her to be patient with Adrian.

But for how long can she stand this madness?

She turns the screen off, looking back out the window.

Jason frowns. "The Luna herself? You should answer it."

Nyra sighs, contemplating for a bit, then picks up. "Hello?"

"Nyra!" Luna Selene’s voice is evidently worried. "Are you okay?"

She sighs. "Yes I am. Just going back home now."

Home means the Ashford mansion. She hasn’t been back to the condo since the party, and even the Luna knows about it, though she hasn’t pressured her to come back immediately.

The woman’s voice sounds unusualky serious, "I need you to come to the royal residence immediately. You can leaverifgt after."

Nyra’s grip tightens on the phone. "I... I don’t think that’s a good idea right now. After--" she bites her tongue, shoving down the rest of that sentence.

"This is not a request, child. I expect you within the hour."

The call ends abruptly. Nyra lowers the phone, feeling sick to her stomach. "She wants me there. I don’t want to go. I can’t face them."

Jason reaches over and gently squeezes her hand, his touch steady and reassuring. "You should. Running from this won’t make it disappear. I’ll drive you. You don’t have to face it alone. I’ll wait outside and then drive you back to Julian’s."

She looks down at her lap. She still hasn’t responded to his confession.

"Okay...Thank you.."

The drive to the royal residence feels endless, and by the time they reach the familiar Blackwood mansion, and Nyra sees Adrian’s familiar black Benz packed outside, she realizes she’s not alone.

She steps into the living room and freezes-- not just Adrian, but Anna is already here.

Adrian looks exhausted but handsome as usual, while Anna sits composed on a velvet chair, one hand resting lightly on her stomach.

The Alpha and Luna are also there.

Nyra almost turns and runs away.

Luna Selene’s soft voice stops her. "Nyra. Come forward please."

Nyra forces herself to approach them, legs feeling like lead. The room is heavy with tension, the scent of both powerful alphas thick in the air.

She hates how her wolf stirs at the faintest whiff of Adrian’s pheromones.

She rolls her eyes internally. ’Now you surface’ she thinks.

Alpha Darius waste no time with pleasantries as soon as Nyra seats. "Which one of you would like to explain why this pack has been trending across every neighboring territory for the last week?"

Silence stretches uncomfortably.

Luna Selene turns to Anna, but she doesn’t look happy. "Are you truly carrying my son’s child?"

Anna meets her gaze calmly, "Yes, Luna."

Luna selene sighs and turns to Adrian. He looks just as confused as the rest of them.

"I... I didn’t know. She didn’t tell me anything. This is the first I’m hearing of it."

"Because you broke up with me!" Anna cuts in, folding her hands c

Nyra hates how her ears perk up at the statement. So they’re no longer together?

She catches Adrian’s pleasing gaze across the table, but quickly looks away.

"So chose to make this announcement publicly before informing the family?" Luna Selene questions Anna angrily. "Do you know how much damage you’ve caused with this mess!?"

"And you...!" She turns to Adrian. "...you have failed both women and this family with your carelessness!"

Nyra sits there, wishing desperately that the floor would just swallow her whole. Every single thing just feels damn exhausting.

And the fact that the Moon Goddes, for whatever reason completely refuses go let the bond breaks makes her even more frustrated.

Alpha Darius voice is deep and angry, as he turns to Anna. He doesn’t seem to like her very much-- Nyra remembers that night of the party too.

"Until this pregnancy is medically confirmed, it changes nothing."

Anna immediately stiffens. Barely noticeable, but Nyra catches it. Was she just stupidly expecting that they would just accept it?

"Tomorrow morning the palace physician will examine you," the Alpha continues firmly.

Then his gaze cuts to his son. "Whether that child is yours or not....the Moon Goddess chose your mate. Until the Goddess herself rejects Miss Nyra Hale, she remains the future Luna of this pack."

Anna’s face completely falls, barely concealed anger replacing her calm expression.

Nyra almost chuckles at the irony-- she doesn’t even want the title anymore. It just feels like a chain.

Finally, after what seems like forever, they finally conclude the meeting. Nyra is the first to stand up, like she can’t bear anothet second in the same room as any of them.

She barely makes it three steps, when the begins to spins violently.

What is happening?

She grabs the nearest wall for support, her wolf feeling even more distant and unsettled than before. Her nose starts to bleed, falling heavily on the white tiles.

Something is terribly wrong. freёwebnovel.com

Luna Selene notices immediately. She narrows her eyes and instantly calls out to one of the maids;

"Call the royal oracle. Something is wrong with the Nyra!"
