Third point of view
Amoux was too busy staring at the plant that he was studying. He repeatedly sighed when he felt sad about what happened between him and Leah. He touched the leaf, for he remembered everything about Leah.
He knew that he had turned Leah so much, which made her fuck another man. He's aware of that. He knew that Leah had sex with Alpha Brandon many times, which led him to be rushed to the hospital. Even though he wanted to make her stop, he didn't have the guts to visit her. He was too scared that Leah might kick her out of their pack again. He was a jerk; he admitted it.
“Amoux, you sighed repeatedly. I told you that you should forget your mate if she doesn't want you.” Amoux stopped himself from looking at Anaya. If Leah doesn't want him from the very start, she would instead push him away from her. He knew Leah had a pure heart which made him even guiltier.
“Please, leave me alone. I don't want to see you again. I want to think.” Amoux calmed his nerves and did his best not to shout at the woman in front of him. He was exhaling several times.
“Then, what are you think? I might help you with that?” Anaya caressed his shoulder, which made him dodge her touch. Anaya laughed softly when Amoux was playing hard to get with her.
“Anaya, why are you always here in our pack? Does your father not even know that you're here?”
“Amoux, of course, he knew that I was here. He's the one who suggested that I should always be here. He wanted us to get close to each other before we got married.”
“You're hoping too much. I didn't have any plans to continue our mating ceremony, I don't want you, and I don't even like you. You're what I regretted, Anaya. I wish that I didn't even know you.” Anays blinked when she heard what Amoux had told her.
Even though she didn't have any feelings for Amoux after she found out that she had her second mate, Amoux's words were like a thousand knives stabbing at her chest. She felt how disgusted and irritated Amoux was to her. She felt unhappy all of a sudden.
“Why don't you ask your father about this? You know that you can't,” Anaya stopped when she felt something inside her throat, leading her to swallow slowly. “You couldn't do that because you wanted the throne so severely, Amoux. And I am the key for you to get the throne. Even though your mate was an Alpha now, it couldn't erase the fact that she was one of the healers who would immediately die because of their healing ability. Amoux, that's the healer's purpose; they were all born here to heal everyone even though their lives were at stake.” Anaya added.
“Shut up, Anaya! If you're a healer, you might understand what they're going through.”
“Amoux, quite the act. Stop acting like you know their pain because if you think how painful for Leah to be a healer, you won't even dare to fuck me. You're acting like you're giving her sympathy, but in the end, you will leave her hanging while secretly dying because that's her destiny.”
“That's not true. You're a cunning bitch! You're telling this to get on my pants.”
“Amoux, stop being delusional. I want you because of the throne. Nothing more, nothing less. Since I am the key to making you achieve your goal, why don't you start pleasuring me so I can ask my father to ask your father to rush everything.”
“No! I don't want to do whatever you want.”
“You don't want it? Amoux, you knew that after we married, we needed to have an heir. Are you willing to sacrifice your crown because of your mate? I don't think so because you're too greedy for power like me.”
Amoux groaned so loud, and he quickly ran towards Anaya. He choked her while he was raising her, using one hand.
“Ahh—” Anaya shouted so loud. Her eyes expanded in surprise and fear when Amoux held her neck tightly, which made her breathing difficult.
“I told you to stop provoking me, but you didn't even obey me, Anaya! Did you think that I would be scared because of your father? I was scared of them; I could kill your father in front of you, Anaya!”
“I won't be with you! I don't like you. If I am your destined mate, I would rather want someone more than is with your mate.” Amoux added.
“Shut up! Ah— asshole! I will tell this to Lycan Hector Amoux. And I swear that you will regret doing this, Amoux.” Anaya tried to restrain his hold, but Amoux was too persistent to strangle her neck.
“Then, before you will report to them. I should kill you, Anaya! You fucking bitch!” Anaya whimpered when they couldn't breathe anymore. She felt she would die at Amoux's hand, but Amoux was stunned when the door opened so fast.
He saw Damon, who was panting too fast. Damon went towards him and touched his hand.
“Amoux, don't do this. Suppose Lycan finds out that you're treating Anaya like this. He might turn his anger to Leah. Didn't I tell you that you should act like you had a feeling for her?”
“I couldn't do that! This woman was too disgusting, and I don't like her.” Amoux didn't even see how Damon's facial expression turned darkening when he mentioned that Anaya was disgusting.
“You need to act well. I learned that your father had planned to rush your mating ceremony with Anaya. He wanted to surprise you. That's why I was running to go here.” Amoux stopped choking Anaya after he heard Damon's news.
“You should be more careful; it looks like your father was too aware that Leah was your mate. You don't need to get mad at Anaya; I know she was doing this for her father's sake.” Anaya groaned when Amoux stopped trying to kill her. It's a lesson that she won't need to provoke Amoux. She gritted her teeth after she heard that she would be wedded to Amoux.
“Are you sure about that, Damon?”
“I am sure this is why you need to go to Leah. And I discovered that she had a relationship now with Alpha Brandon.” Amoux screamed when he learned that his mate had a severe relationship with Alpha Brandon. Anaya didn't even hide her expression when she heard her first mate was in a relationship with Leah. She hated Leah for snatching everything away from her.
