Page 39 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“I asked if maybe we could catch up a bit while I am here?” she said. “I know that you will be busy tonight, but maybe tomorrow?”

“Yes, Ali, of course,” I said, smiling brightly. “I would love to.”

Ali smiled and opened her mouth to speak, but she was interrupted by Alpha Alistair. He approached uS with a small smile. He glanced at Ali and looked back at me.

“I am sorry to interrupt, my Queen, but I was wondering if I could borrow our King for just a minute?” Alpha Alistair asked, bowing his head at me.

“I am not leaving my Queen,” Dimitri said sternly.

Alpha Alistair looked at him and smiled a little.

“It will only be a minute, my King, I promise,” he said.

I looked up at Dimitri and nodded.

“It’s okay,” I said softly. “I will be here with Ali.”

No.He mind-linked me.Will is not here yet and I won’t leave you alone.

I am not alone.I responded.I will be okay. Go talk to him.

Dimitri tightened his jaw.

“We don’t even have to leave the room, my King,” Alpha Alistair said. “Let’s just step away so we can exchange a few important words.”

Dimitri looked around and pointed at the fairly empty spot by the door. He could still see me from there.

“I will be right back, princess,” he said quietly as he kissed the top of my head.

I gave him a small smile. He reluctantly let me go and walked a bit further away to speak to Alpha Alistair.

“Wow, Mads,” Ali said as soon as they walked away. “You are a Queen?! I am so proud of you!”

I looked at her and smiled.

“It’s kind of insane,” I said quietly. “I feel like I don’t really belong here.”

Ali widened her eyes and shook her head.

“You do, Mads!” she exclaimed. “You should see yourself! You look amazing and so confident! I am so freaking proud of you!”

I grinned and shook my head at her.

“Enough about me,” I said. “What about you? Did you find your mate?”

Ali sighed and shook her head. “Not yet. I hope I will soon. I would love to have someone who would look at me the way Alpha Dimitri looks at you.”

“With a frown?” I asked teasingly.

Ali chuckled and shook her head.

“Like you are his whole world,” she said and I felt my entire body tingle.

I looked at him and my heart skipped a beat. He was talking to Alpha Alistair, but he kept glancing at me.

“I am his whole world,” I said. “Just like he is mine.”

Ali was silent for a moment, but then she asked something I didn’t expect her to.
