Page 15 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“He shouldn’t have even asked,” I growled. “He should have known that the answer would be no.”

Will sighed and rolled his eyes at me.

“Come on,” Will said with a hint of annoyance in his voice. “It’s not Tim’s fault. He is just a guard, Dimitri.”

I knew that, but I was angry and I wasn’t really choosing who to be angry at. I was angry at everyone.

I couldn’t even believe that my mother had the courage to ask to see Maddie. I couldn't believe that she would even think that I would agree. I would have to be a huge fucking idiot to let something like that happen. My mother and Savannah would never lay eyes on my mate again. They would never hurt her again.

“Maybe you should go talk to her,” Will said quietly.

I looked at him wide-eyed. Was he fucking insane?! I never wanted to see that bitch ever again!

Will sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

“I know that you don’t want to see her, Dimitri, but I want to know what she has to say,” Will said.

I clenched my fists and narrowed my eyes at him.

“You are free to go see her then,” I said angrily. “I won’t be joining you. I don’t give a fuck about what she has to say.”

Will sighed again.

“Aren’t you a little bit curious?” he asked. “I want to know why she did it. I am not buying all that crap about Maddie’s mother.”

“I don’t give a fuck,” I said. “She did it and she is going to be punished. That’s it.”

Will furrowed his brows and crossed his arms over his chest.

“But what if she knows something?” he asked. “She chose to torture Maddie for a reason. What if she knows something about Maddie?”

My heart raced.

“Like what?” I mumbled, gritting my teeth.

“I don’t know,” Will shrugged. “I just don’t believe that she did it just because Maddie looks like her mom. What did she think that Mike was going to go after Maddie? She is his daughter, for Goddess’ sake. It’s a stupid excuse and I think that there has to be another reason why she went after Maddie.”

I clenched my fists.

Fuck.

He was right.

“Just one talk, Dimitri,” Will added after a few moments of silence. “It can’t hurt.”

I gritted my teeth again.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I really didn’t want to do it.

But Will was right. There could have been another reason and I had to find out what it was. I had to find out if she knew anything. I had to do everything I could to protect my mate.

CHAPTER EIGHT – I Will Change

Dimitri’s POV

The dungeon where I kept my prisoners was a dark underground place. The silence was only sometimes broken by the sound of water dripping from places I couldn't see. The air smelled old and damp, and it was much colder than the outside. The smell was burning my nostrils and I couldn’t wait to leave this place.

As I entered the dungeon, I immediately felt a shiver run down my spine. The walls were made of rough stone blocks, with moss and lichen growing on them. Torches on the walls were the only source of light. If I wasn’t a Lycan, I would have a hard time moving around.
