Page 27 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“We asked if we should continue this tomorrow,” Alpha Alistair said and I almost jumped out of my chair. “Some of us are a bit tired after the journey here.”

I had to bite my cheeks to stop myself from grinning. I would be with my princess in just a few short moments.

“Of course, Alpha Alistair,” I said. “We will continue this tomorrow.”

“I heard you found our Queen,” Alpha Rhys said, making me look at him.

I wanted to growl at him. Everyone was just about to stand up and leave, but now they were all staring at me and smiling.

Fuck, Rhys.

I forced a small smile on my face.

“I did,” I said, feeling my nervousness growing. “You will get a chance to meet her tomorrow at the opening ceremony.”

The Alphas nodded and smiled.

“I heard she is a true beauty, my King,” Alpha Lucius said.

Jealousy exploded inside me. I almost growled at him.

Dimitri.Will mind-linked me with a hint of warning in his tone.

I tightened my jaw and smiled wider, trying to hide the anger.

“She is,” I said. “She isn’t only beautiful. She is also very kind. She will be an amazing Queen.”

Alpha Lucius nodded.

“I am looking forward to meeting her,” he said, making me clench my fists.

We are keeping her away from him tomorrow.I mind-linked Will.

He sighed quietly.

“I am very happy for you, my King,” Alpha Marcus said. “What is her name?”

I forced a little bit of air into my lungs. I kind of wished that I could keep her away from all of them. I wished they didn’t know anything about her. I wished that she could be my little secret. She would be safest that way. No one could hurt her or take her away from me if no one knew she existed.

But it was impossible. She was a Queen. People would find out everything about her.

“Madeline,” I said, trying to mask my displeasure with a small smile.

“Madeline?” Jack asked, surprised. “My Maddie?”

I flinched a little. She wasn’t his Maddie. She was mine. Only mine.

‘Mine,’Skol growled quietly.

“Your Maddie?” Alpha Theodore asked, furrowing his brows at Alpha Jack.

“She was a member of my pack,” Alpha Jack explained. “She came here about nine months ago to live with her father.”

Alpha Jack smiled.

“Is it her?” he asked. “Is it the same Madeline?”

I nodded and smiled. I still couldn’t talk. I was still pissed about him calling her his Maddie.
