Page 46 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

“I don’t think I made a good first impression on him,” she said quietly.

“Why?” I asked as I tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

“I didn’t know Maddie was a Queen so I kind of grabbed her as soon as I saw her,” she said and I could hear a hint of regret in her voice. “I didn’t even realize that he was behind her. I could tell that he was very angry at me.”

I sighed and caressed her cheek. We would have to tell Ali everything now that she was my mate. She would soon understand why Dimitri reacted the way he did.

But I wasn’t going to explain it to her now. Dimitri and Maddie weren’t here and I wasn’t going to do it without them.

Also, that was not what I wanted to talk about. I wanted to talk about her and maybe even kiss her again. We had time to discuss everything else tomorrow.

“Dimitri is protective,” I said. “Don’t worry about it, okay?”

Ali nodded and glanced at my lips. My muscles clenched.

“Will?” She called me quietly.

“Yes, beautiful?” I mumbled as I ran my fingers through her hair.

“Will you please kiss me again?” she asked and my entire body burst in flames.

My lips were on hers even before she finished her question.

Both of us moaned quietly.

She was the best fucking thing I ever touched and tasted. I never wanted to stop kissing her and I never would.

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO – Over My Dead Body

Madeline’s POV

I was a little bit tired.

Dimitri’s anger and fear were immense and I kept trying to make him feel better. I kept trying to make him feel calm. I kept trying to reassure him.

It was hard, though. I would finally manage to calm him down a little, but then another wave of anger washed over him with such intensity my insides twisted. It took me so much time and energy to calm him down again.

Worst of all, he just refused to tell me what happened.

“Will is on his way,” Ellie said, making me look at her.

She was sitting on the couch with her arms crossed over her chest. She looked worried and I knew that Dimitri had already told her what happened.

An unknown feeling made my stomach turn.

Why did he tell her and not me? Did he trust her more? Maybe he didn’t think I would be able to help him. Maybe he didn’t think I would be able to handle it.

‘Stop it, Madeline,’Skye growled at me.‘You know that none of that is true. He will tell you.’

I took a deep breath and released it slowly.

‘Look, Maddie, I…’Skye continued, but I interrupted her.

‘I can’t, Skye,’I said.‘Not now. Something is going on with Dimitri and I need to focus on him. We will do this later, okay?’

She was silent for a moment.

‘You will talk to me?’she asked quietly.
