Page 11 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“Well, except Janet’s and Kendrick’s,” I mumbled.

I could feel Dimitri tense up.

“What do you mean, Maddie?” Oliver asked.

I looked at him and took a deep breath.

“I can’t read minds when Dimitri is with me,” I started explaining. “The only exceptions are Janet and Kendrick. I could hear their thoughts when Dimitri was with me.”

“What were they thinking about?” Oliver asked, furrowing his brows.

I gulped. Dimitri growled.

“They thought about hurting me,” I said quietly.

Mike squeezed my hand tighter and I could feel anger rolling off him in waves.

“What does that mean?” Mike asked angrily. “Why could she hear their thoughts, but not others?”

I wish I knew the answer to that question.

“Well, one one thing comes to mind,” Oliver said, sighing loudly.

I looked at him and I could feel my heart racing.

“What?” Dimitri asked angrily.

Oliver took a deep breath and raised his brows.

“They were a real threat,” Oliver said. “Their thoughts were so vile and imposed a real threat to you. Their thoughts were stronger than your protector.”

My heart started drumming against my ribcage.

“What the fuck were they thinking about, Maddie?” Mike asked, his voice laced with anger.

I kept my eyes on Oliver. Fear made my stomach twist.

They were a real threat.

CHAPTER SIX – Overwhelmed

Dimitri’s POV

I closed our bedroom door and looked at Maddie. My heart clenched painfully. She looked so tired and so overwhelmed.

“Princess,” I called her quietly as I approached her.

She looked at me and took a deep breath. I finally reached her and wrapped my arms around her.

“I am so done with everything,” she mumbled as she hugged me back. “I am tired.”

I ran my fingers through her hair and kissed her temple.

“I know, my love,” I said softly. “I can see it.”

I needed to find a way to relax her. I needed to find a way to show her that she wasn’t alone in this. I needed to find a way to show her how fucking much I loved her.

“What day is it?” she asked after a few moments of silence. “When is the Alphas Meeting starting?”
