Page 70 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“Why didn’t you mind-link me, Madeline?” he asked angrily.

My chest tightened. It felt like a hand squeezed my lungs.

“Because he isn’t a threat,” I said quietly. “He’s a friend…”

“Who wants to fuck you,” Dimitri interrupted me, slamming his fist against the desk. “Please explain to me how he isn’t a threat, Madeline.”

I tried to take a deep breath, but I couldn’t. I was so tired. I just wanted to take a hot shower and go to sleep. I wanted Dimitri to go back to the way he was this morning. Why was he so angry at me? Did I really make such a big mistake? I told him no.

“Calm down, Dimitri,” Will sighed.

Dimitri looked at him and I thought he was going to punch him.

“Talk to me when there is a man who would want to fuck your mate,” Dimitri said, looking back at me.

Will clenched his fists and took a deep breath.

“Explain, Madeline,” Dimitri growled at me.

I could feel my heart cracking.

“Because I would never let him do anything,” I said quietly. “I don’t want him. I don’t love him.”

Did Dimitri really think that I would ever let Seth do anything? I talked to him about it. I told him that I loved my mate. Seth knew that nothing could ever happen between us.

My heart shattered and I could feel my stomach twisting. I was going to throw up.

Was Dimitri afraid I would do something? Did he think that I would cheat on him? Did he think that I would leave him? Didn’t he trust me?

“Oh, but you want to go to dinner with him?” Dimitri asked mockingly.

I glanced at Ellie and furrowed my brows. Didn’t she tell him that I told Seth I would ask Dimitri if we could go, not just me?

“No,” I said and it was getting harder and harder for me to hide the pain in my voice. “I told him I would ask you if you and I could go. I would never go alone with him.”

Dimitri narrowed his eyes and tightened his jaw.

“You don’t trust me, do you?” I asked, my voice trembling. “You think that I would cheat on you?”

I felt tears burning the corners of my eyes.

My own wolf refused to shift and she left me alone. My mate didn’t trust me. He thought that I would cheat and leave him. He would probably leave me too. He would leave me just like my wolf left me. He would leave me just like my father left me.

Everyone abandoned me. My father, my mother, my pack, my wolf. I always ended up alone.

He was going to leave me too. He didn’t trust me.

“No, Madeline,” he said, but I didn’t believe him. “I don’t trust him.”

My head was throbbing and my stomach was in a knot. I felt like I was going to throw up.

He didn’t believe me. He didn’t trust me. He would leave me just like everyone else did.

I should have left when I had the chance. I should have left when Janet told me to leave.

‘Madeline!’Skye screamed at me, but I ignored her.

I pushed her back as far as I could. She left me. I didn’t need her.
