CHAPTER ONE – She Is A Lycan
Dimitri’s POV
She was a Lycan.
She was really a Lycan.
I was in shock. I could tell that Oliver asked us a question, but I couldn't hear him. I only saw his lips moving. I could only hear my blood pumping through my veins and my heart hammering against my chest.
If it was true then she was the rightful heir to the throne. If it was true then she was the most powerful wolf in existence.
If it was true then she was in bigger danger than ever.
“Alpha Dimitri?” Oliver’s voice finally reached me.
I flinched and looked at him. I tried to force my body to calm down a little so I could hear what he was saying.
“Who else knows about her ability?” Oliver asked.
I cleared my throat and shook my head.
“The four of us and the pack doctor,” I mumbled.
I glanced at Will and Ellie. Both of them were staring at Oliver with shocked expressions on their faces.
“Let’s keep it that way,” Oliver said sternly. “No one else needs to know and no one else can now. If I am right then she is…”
Oliver stopped talking and looked at Maddie.
“She is the heir to the throne,” I said, making him look back at me.
He nodded slowly.
I finally looked at my mate. She was pale and I wasn’t even sure if she was breathing. She was staring at Oliver wide-eyed.
“Princess,” I called her as I cupped her cheek and turned her head toward me. “Breathe, my love. Everything is going to be okay.”
I wasn’t sure if she heard me.
I pressed my lips against hers and pulled her even closer to me.
“Breathe, Maddie,” I mumbled as I rubbed her back. “Come on, my love.”
She gulped and shook her head a little. I could tell and feel how confused and scared she was.
I looked at Oliver, Will, and Ellie.
“Could you please give us a moment?” I asked them.
I knew that Maddie needed space. I could tell that she was overwhelmed. I needed to help her. I needed to calm her down a little bit.
“Sure,” Will mumbled as he stood up. “We will wait outside.”
I nodded and watched as the three of them left my office. Will glanced at Maddie one more time before he closed the door.
I looked at her as soon as they were gone. Her eyes were on me, but I could tell that she was completely lost in thought. Her eyes were on me, but she wasn’t looking at me. She was somewhere else.
“Princess,” I called her softly as I leaned in and kissed her cheek. “I need you to focus on my lips on your skin, okay? I need you to come back to me.”
