Revenge of Ameera: The Rejected Mate

Ameera sighed as she realized there was no point in regretting anything; she stared sadly at the dungeon where she was locked up.

"Zee?" she mused softly, trying to communicate with her wolf, who had cut off their communication since Ameera had to endure those terrible days in that dark and stuffy place.

"Zee? Don't you want to talk to me? Are you angry?" asked Ameera sadly; her only friend now didn't want to talk to her.

"I'm sorry, Zee. I shouldn't have been so stubborn to find medicinal herbs that we have to be stuck here and meet mates who don't like us," Ameera whispered, her heart torn apart at the thought that Zee's feelings might be even more broken than hers.

Ameera didn't realize her face was wet with tears; she was desperate. Perhaps soon, she would be killed so as not to become an obstacle for Edmund and his lover, Layla Mohegan. All Ameera knew was that she was conscious in the infirmary after Edmund's attack.

Layla accompanied Edmund to see his condition or instead came to get rid of him. Layla said that she would get married and Edmund would get rid of her when she became an Alpha.

Ameera, who heard that tried to leave, but Layla was a cunning woman. She deliberately got herself seriously injured and made a scene to throw all the blame on Ameera.

"I didn't do it! She hurt herself!" screeched Ameera as she was once again restrained by the warriors at the behest of Edmund, who was angry to see his girlfriend injured.

"Layla is no fool! She couldn't have done that! You lowly woman, how dare you hurt my beloved. Take her to the dungeon!" Edmund angrily ordered the warriors to take Ameera while he carried Layla's scratched body.

"I'm okay, Ed. She just did it by accident," Layla said weakly, acting like a gentle and forgiving good girl.

"You don't have to defend her," Edmund replied worriedly.

"Hurry up and take her away!"

"Let me go! I didn't do it; please believe me." Ameera continued to beg to be released as she had not done what she was accused of.

No one listened to Ameera's words; everyone believed what they heard from Layla. Of course, after being in the dungeon for a while. Ameera had heard the guards say that Layla was the daughter of someone who had contributed to the Moonlight pack. Layla was also a formidable warrior, so it was natural for Ameera not to listen to her.

"Even if I were a resident of this pack, they still wouldn't listen to me," she thought sadly.

Who would listen to someone who was considered an enemy spy?

Ameera felt her body ache with movement; she could even see that some of her wounds were worsening. As a werewolf, Ameera should be able to heal her wounds. However, I don't know what happened to him since she could not heal herself long ago like other werewolves. She couldn't even change shifts with Zee, making her completely human.

Plus, the whip given to him was coated with the liquid from the wolfsbane, worsening the wound because the wolfsbane plant is evil for a werewolf like him.

"Excuse me! Can you please give me some water? I'm thirsty," Ameera pleaded again, not giving up after her request was denied earlier.

"You're such a nuisance!" said the guard irritably, moving to hand Ameera a glass of water, hoping she wouldn't bother him again.

"Thank you!"

Ameera immediately drank the water given to her greedily; in no time, the water in the glass was gone. Not a single drop was left to waste.

She was starting to feel better than ever, at least for now, before Edmund or Layla came to give him another whipping.

"Doesn't he feel pain when I get hurt? Shouldn't Edmund also feel what I'm going through?" muttered Ameera realizing something.

Edmund showed no signs of pain when he whipped Ameera. Was there something wrong with their bond?

"Or is he just acting like he doesn't feel it? His face is like stone, no expression," she continued.

"He must be pretending." Ameera began to close her tired eyes; she fell asleep on the ground as her back was riddled with wounds.

Elsewhere, Edmund was making preparations for his appointment as Alpha.

The omegas working in the Alpha's residence seemed to be busy looking at the room in such a way as to make it look beautiful, in contrast to Edmund, who was only quietly watching the omega's work.

Next to him, a girl in a bright dress was giving orders to the omegas. She looked very enthusiastic because she would also be appointed as Luna.

How could that be? Everyone believed that Layla was Edmund's Mate. However, some people kept secrets about Edmund's true mate.

Poor Ameera, no one was on her side.

"Ed, aren't you tired?" Layla asked, spoiled.

"No, I've been resting," Edmund replied as he gazed tenderly at his lover.

"Shall we take a short walk? I'm bored here." Layla put on her most beautiful face.

"All right, I'll call Jacob to monitor the work here."

Edmund immediately asked Jacob to come through his mind; he stroked Layla's hair lovingly.

"Just wait a little longer," he told Layla.

Without waiting long, Jacob was now in front of Edmund. He was paying his respects to him. Jacob was Edmund's best friend since childhood; he would also be made a Beta at Edmund's coronation.

"I'll go with Layla."

They soon left the residence as they strolled around the Pack. Layla did not hesitate to show their affection to the pack's residents as if to tell everyone that she was the future Luna there.

In contrast to Edmund, who had been trying to ignore the pain in his body, he was annoyed with his mate's bond.

For Edmund, the presence of a useless mate like Ameera was embarrassing for him.

"Ed, are you looking forward to tomorrow? I'm looking forward to it; we can finally be together," Layla said with a happy look.

"Me too. Layla, can you come back first? I have some work to do." Edmund asked Layla to come back first; there was something he had to do with Ameera.

"Sure, finish your work, and don't forget to rest. I won't bother you tonight so that you can be fresh tomorrow," Layla agreed to Edmund's request.

She soon left Edmund alone, returning to her house.

"I have to prepare him well!" Layla chirped in her heart.

After all, she felt bored if she had to go around the pack again, even if she was the one who invited him first.

Edmund looked at Layla's back as she slowly moved away from him.

"Jacob, keep an eye on Layla. Don't let her know I went to the dungeon." Edmund sent his mind link to Jacob.

Without further delay, he immediately sped toward the dungeon where Ameera was locked up.
