Page 99 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

Ellie tightened her jaw and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and released it slowly.

“You are driving me insane,” she mumbled as she opened her eyes. “What did you find out?”

I glanced toward the door again and approached Ellie.

“Alpha Lucius thinks that Dimitri doesn’t deserve me,” I said and I felt bile rising and burning the back of my throat. “He thinks that Dimitri isn’t good enough for me and that I deserve a better, stronger mate. He would also like to…”

I stopped talking to take another deep breath. I was disgusted by what I had to say next.

“Do things to me,” I mumbled quietly. “He believes he would be a better mate for me.”

Ellie’s eyes widened.

“Oh, Dimitri is going to rip him to pieces,” she mumbled, shaking her head a little.

I nodded and took a deep breath.

“I just don’t understand why he told that to Luna Jennifer,” I said, furrowing my brows. “She is his mate. Why would he admit something like that?”

Ellie sighed and sat back down on the couch.

“Alpha Lucius is known for his adventures outside of the mate bond,” Ellie explained. “His mate can feel it every time he cheats on her so it’s not like she doesn’t know about it. I am surprised that he talks about something like that with her, though.”

“Maybe she overheard him talking to someone else,” I said, shrugging a little.

Ellie nodded. “That’s more likely.”

She sighed and narrowed her eyes slightly.

“Did you hear anything else?” she asked and I shook my head.

“No,” I said. “But that is pretty huge, isn’t it? If Alpha Lucius thinks that Dimitri doesn’t deserve me, maybe he thinks that he doesn’t deserve to be King either.”

“Maybe,” Ellie mumbled.

“We should tell Dimitri,” I said, but Ellie shook her head.

“Not yet,” she said. “Let me look into him a bit more, okay? Dimitri will rip him apart if we tell him and Alpha Lucius could be just a horny old man who is jealous of Dimitri and thinks that you are pretty.”

I raised an eyebrow at her.

“Do you think that’s possible?” I asked.

She nodded and sighed.

“He is a pervert,” she mumbled, rolling her eyes. “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just about sex for him. He wouldn’t be a good King anyway. He always ran from any kind of responsibility. I doubt that he is interested in that.”

“Okay,” I said, taking another deep breath. “See if you can find something useful. Dimitri doesn’t need to know about it if it’s just about me. I don’t want to stress him out even more.”

Ellie nodded. He wanted to say something else, but she was interrupted when the door opened and Dimitri walked inside.

I smiled immediately. I missed him.

“Hi, princess,” he said as he closed the door and approached me. “Are you tired?”

He wrapped his arms around me and I sighed contently.

“A bit,” I said, placing a kiss on his chest. “Is the party over?”
