Page 109 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“Always, my princess,” he said softly. “I will always come back to you.”

He leaned in and kissed me softly.

“You are my home,” he said quietly.

You and our pup are my home.He added through the mind-link as he kissed me again.Nothing will stop me from coming back to you.

“I love you,” I told him, my voice trembling.

He smiled and kissed my forehead. I thought that my heart would give out when he moved his hands from my face. I barely managed to force myself to let go of his wrists.

“Will,” he said as he rushed to the door. “We need to hurry.”

Will kissed Ali one more time before he ran out behind Dimitri. Ali took a deep breath as she approached the door. She closed and locked it before turning around to look at me.

“Everything will be okay, Maddie,” she said quietly. “They will be okay.”

I couldn’t stop the tears from falling down my cheeks.

“Oh, Mads,” Ali mumbled as she approached me and pulled me into a hug.

I wrapped my arms around her and buried my nose into her neck. I sobbed quietly and she rubbed my back.

“He will come back to you, Maddie,” Ali said softly. “He is the King. Rogues have nothing on him.”

I knew that. My mate was strong. He was a great warrior. I knew that he would come back home to me. I knew that he would be okay. He had to be okay.

But I just couldn’t stop the tears. They just kept coming against my will. I forced myself to take a deep breath. I released it slowly and gulped.

“I am sorry, Ali,” I mumbled as I let her go. “I don’t know what came over me.”

She sighed and took my hand in hers.

“Why are you apologizing?” she asked, chuckling a little. “Friends are meant to comfort each other. I am always here for you, Mads. You know that.”

I smiled and another tear fell on my cheek. Ali wiped it away.

I took another deep breath and I was just about to tell Ali how grateful I am to have her when a knock on the door made me freeze.

Ali tensed up and looked at the door.

“Maddie?” Luna Maria’s voice made me sigh in relief. “Are you in here?”

I looked at Ali and she bit her lower lip.

“It’s Luna Maria,” I said quietly. “We know her.”

Ali furrowed her brows and looked at the door again.

“Dimitri said not to let anyone in,” she reminded me.

“Maddie?” Luna Maria called me again.

I sighed and shook my head a little.

“We can’t leave her out there,” I mumbled as I approached the door and unlocked it.

“Oh, you are okay,” she sighed in relief as I opened the door.
