Page 52 of Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne

He took a deep, slow breath. I caressed his cheeks again and placed another soft kiss on his lips. His canines retracted.

“Fuck, Maddie,” he mumbled as he buried his face into my neck.

He breathed in my scent slowly and deeply. I placed a kiss on the top of his head.

“I love you,” I told him again. “I love you with my entire heart.”

He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly.

“I can’t even explain how much I love you, Madeline,” he said quietly. “You are my entire world. I would die if I lost you.”

I placed another kiss on the top of his head.

“That will never happen, Dimitri,” I said. “You will never lose me. I will fight to be by your side forever. This is the only place I want to be. This is my home. You are my home.”

He lifted his head and captured my lips with his.

“Home,” he mumbled. “My home.”

I smiled a little and caressed his cheek again. I could feel that he was a little bit calmer and it was everything I wanted and needed. I hated it when he was angry and scared. I hated it when he was upset.

Our office door opened and Will peeked inside.

“Mike is here,” he said. “We really need to talk to him. We don’t have much time.”

Dimitri nodded and motioned for him to come inside. He took a deep breath and placed a soft kiss on my forehead. I climbed out of his lap and sat on the chair next to him.

Thank you, princess.He mind-linked me.I needed this.

I gave him a small smile and took his hand in mine. I lifted it and kissed his knuckles.

I know.I said.I am always here for you. I will always be here to make it easier.

He smiled and tightened his hold on my hand.

“What happened?” Mike asked as soon as he walked inside the room. “What’s so urgent?”

Dimitri took a deep breath and looked at him.

“We need to talk about the security detail for Maddie,” he said, pointing at the armchair opposite his desk. “Alpha Alistair said something that worries me.”

I looked at Ali and took a deep breath. She looked confused and I knew that I would have to talk to her as soon as I got the chance.

What’s wrong, Mads?Ellie mind-linked me.

I looked at her and took a deep breath.

I will have to talk to Ali and tell her everything.I said.I can see that she is confused. I don’t want to keep her in the dark.

Ellie gave me a small nod.

Let me handle that, okay?She said.You have enough on your plate. You still hadn’t talked to Skye. You still hadn’t shifted. You have to talk to Oliver about your powers and figure out what to do. Not to mention this whole Alphas’ Meeting and the tournament that starts tonight.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.

She was right. I had so many things to do and I had no idea where to even start.

Let me help, Mads.She continued.I will explain everything to Ali.
