Page 47 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

I gulped and tightened my jaw.

‘Yes,’I said.‘I will talk to you later.’

I could feel her excitement growing. I pushed her back and focused on Dimitri. He was pacing back and forth around our office with a pissed-off expression on his face. His anger was back.

I took a deep breath and focused on him entirely. I could feel the anger pulsating beneath his skin. I could feel it running through his veins. I could feel it wrapping itself around him. I took a deep, slow breath through my nose and imagined I was pulling the anger out of him and toward me.

The anger was cold and its edges felt sharp. It made my entire body tense up. It made my insides hurt.

But Dimitri relaxed immediately and it was all that mattered. It was all I wanted.

“Fuck,” he muttered as he took a deep breath and released it slowly.

“Can you please just tell me…” I spoke, but I was interrupted by the office door opening.

Will walked inside followed by a very timid-looking Ali.

I smiled brightly and stood up.

“Ali!” I exclaimed, reaching out for her.

She looked at me and I saw her relax a little. She smiled and approached me. I pulled her into a tight hug.

“Oh, I am so happy for you,” I said softly. “I am so happy you get to stay here.”

“What’s wrong, Dimitri?” Will asked, drawing my attention back to my mate.

His anger was back.

Dimitri clenched his jaw and looked at Ali.

“Can we trust her?” he mumbled angrily, making Will growl.

Ali tensed up and tried to pull away from me. I just held her tighter.

“She is my mate, Dimitri,” Will said, narrowing his eyes at my mate. “You are my Alpha and my King, but I won’t let you doubt my mate.”

Dimitri growled back at him.

“And I won’t let my mate get hurt because of her!” he exclaimed.

Will’s eyes widened. He opened his mouth to speak, but I interrupted him.

“Enough!” I said sternly. “You are not fighting over this. Ali is my friend and she’s not a danger to me.”

Will bowed his head immediately. Dimitri tightened his jaw and clenched his fists.

“Your first order,” Ellie said, chuckling a little. “Nice, Maddie.”

I furrowed my brows and looked at her. Ellie chuckled when she saw my confused face.

“You just ordered them to stop,” she said. “It was very effective, I must say.”

My eyes widened and I looked back at Dimitri and Will.

“Oh, I am so sorry!” I exclaimed. “I didn’t mean to. I don’t even know how…”

“Don’t apologize, princess,” Dimitri interrupted me as he approached me and pulled me away from Ali.
