Dimitri’s POV

“Have you thought about taking a chosen mate, Dimitri?” my mother asked, making me roll my eyes. “You are 22 years old. It’s time for you to choose a strong she-wolf to become your Luna.”

I continued cutting my meat without even looking up at my mother.

Skol growled. He hated the thought of having a chosen mate. We would wait for our fated mate.

“Leave him alone, Janet,” Mike, my mother’s new mate, said. “He already told you that he wants to wait for his fated mate.”

I glanced up at Mike and gave him a small nod.

I didn’t really like him. I had nothing against the guy, but something about him never sat right with me.

My mother married him two years ago. He wasn’t a Lycan like my mother and me. I never understood why my mother wanted to marry him, but that definitely wasn’t my business, so I never got involved. I tolerated Mike because I had to.

Some of our pack members frowned at the fact that Mike was just a werewolf and not a Lycan like my mother and me. Technically, that was true. What my pack members didn’t know was that Mike really had Lycan genes, but his Lycan never woke up.

It didn’t matter to me anyway. He wouldn’t be able to become the Alpha of my pack even if he were a Lycan.

Something was wrong with Mike today. He seemed absent and a little worried.

“Mike, honey, stop worrying,” my mother mumbled as she took his hand in hers. “Everything is going to be okay.”

Mike looked up at her and frowned.

“How can you say that?” he said with a hint of anger in his voice.

What the fuck happened?

“What the hell is going on?” I asked before my mother could say anything else.

My mother and Mike glanced at each other. Mike sighed, ran his fingers through his hair, and looked down at his plate.

My mother looked at me, and I raised an eyebrow at her.

“Mike’s fated mate is dying,” my mother said, making my eyes widen.

I looked at Mike. I was so fucking confused.

“I thought that you didn’t find your fated mate,” I said, holding back a growl.

I fucking hated wolves who betrayed their fated mates. A mate was a gift from the Goddess. A mate was supposed to be loved and cherished. What the fuck was he doing here with my mother if his fated mate was out there somewhere?!

Mike looked up at me and took a deep breath.

“I did find her,” Mike mumbled. “I just never marked her.”

My confusion turned into a surprise.

How the fuck did he manage to hold back from marking his mate? I was so fucking sure that I would sink my canines into her neck as soon as I met her.

“I was young and stupid,” Mike sighed, looking back down at the table. “I thought that my Lycan would surface. I waited for it to happen. I was the only one with Lycan genes in my pack, and I thought that once I got my Lycan, I would be able to do so much more than just be a Beta of my pack.”

Mike stopped talking and sighed.

“I met my mate,” Mike continued. “I promised her that I would mark her as soon as my Lycan appeared. Except it never happened. I got more and more frustrated. I got so fucking angry. I spent my days drunk on whiskey mixed with wolfsbane. I was constantly pissed off. She kept asking me to mark her, but I never did.”

Mike stopped talking and looked at my mother.

“So you don’t have a mate bond with her?” I asked.

“No,” Mike said as he looked at me. “I wouldn't be able to mark your mother if I did.”

Chosen mates and second mates could also mark each other. The mark wasn’t as powerful as it was when it was given by a fated mate, but it still had power.

“But you are bound to her, aren’t you, Mike?” my mother said with a hint of resentment in her voice.

I furrowed my eyebrows. What the hell was she talking about? How could he be bound to a woman he never marked?

“I am,” Mike mumbled.

“How?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.

“I have a child with her,” Mike said, looking at me.

My eyes widened.

He had a child?

“I got her pregnant when I still thought that I would mark her,” Mike said. “I left her when my child was 2 years old.”

My eyes widened even more. The little respect I had for Mike plummeted to the ground.

“I feel so fucking guilty,” Mike said as he ran his fingers through his hair. “I haven’t seen my daughter in 15 years, and now…”

He stopped talking and took a deep breath.

“You have a daughter?” I asked, trying to mask my growing rage.

“Yes,” Mike nodded. “She is 17 years old. Her name is Madeline.”

“And her mother is dying?” I asked, clenching my fists.

“Yes,” Mike said. “She has cancer. She called me a few days ago, begging me to take Madeline in when she dies.”

“You are going to do it,” I said.

It wasn’t a question. It was a fucking order. He would do it. He wouldn't just let a 17-year-old girl alone. He had done enough damage already.

“I’m not sure that’s a good idea, Dimitri,” my mother said, making me growl.

“Why the fuck not?” I asked, glaring at my mother.

“Mike and I aren’t that young anymore,” my mother sighed. “I’m not sure that we could handle a 17-year-old girl.”

I growled and looked at Mike.

“You are not leaving your child alone again,” I said. “What pack is she in?”

“My old pack, Red Moon,” Mike said.

I knew about that pack. I visited it five years ago with my father. It was just a few months before he died, and that trip was one of my favorite memories with him.

“Don’t make the same mistake again, Mike,” I said as I stood up. “You already left your child once. Don’t do it again.”

I walked away from the table.

I needed to get away from them.

I was so fucking pissed off at Mike.

How could he do that to his fated mate and his child?!

I would love my fated mate more than anything else in the world. She would be so fucking loved and protected.

I would never do what Mike did.

Never.

  • Rejecting My Lycan Mate   CHAPTER 150 Your New Home

    　　Madeline’s POV　　I groaned as I turned my head to my right. Every part of my body hurt.　　What the hell happened to me? Was it the pregnancy? I had no idea that your body could feel like you’d been hit by a train. I had no idea that your head could hurt like someone stabbed a knife into your temples. Would I have to go through 6 months of that?　　“Hello, my little bird,” someone said softly.　　The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. I could have sworn that I had heard it before, but I had no idea where.　　I was probably dreaming.　　I gulped and felt around for Dimitri. I wanted to press myself closer to him. The pain would be gone as soon as I was in his arms.　　I couldn’t find him, though. Did he get up already?　　“I am here, little bird,” the voice said and I felt a large hand cover mine.　　I didn’t feel tingles. I didn’t feel sparks. I knew Dimitri’s hand and this wasn’t it. Whose hand was that? Where was I?　　My heart raced a little.　　The hand squeezed mine

  • Rejecting My Lycan Mate   CHAPTER 149 Your Queen Is Missing

    　　William’s POV　　I was pacing around the room, trying to find some fucking way to remain in focus. Dimitri hadn’t stopped whining or growling. I could tell that he was struggling and that he was in immense pain. I knew that he wouldn’t be able to do shit until he came out of the shock he was in.　　But that was why he had me. I had to take over until he managed to focus back on what mattered the most.　　“She was poisoned with wolfsbane,” the pack doctor said as he finished checking up on Ali. “The dose wasn’t big. She will be okay, Beta. The wolfsbane just needs to leave her body.”　　I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I almost lost it when I found her on the floor. But at least I found her. At least she was here.　　Maddie was…　　Gone. She was fucking gone.　　“Thank you,” I mumbled as I opened my eyes and looked at my beautiful mate. “You can leave.”　　The pack doctor nodded. He glanced at Dimitri before he picked up his bag and walked out of the room.　　Mike and Ellie walked insi

  • Rejecting My Lycan Mate   CHAPTER 148 Something Isn’t Right

    　　Dimitri’s POV　　I sank my canines into another rogue’s neck, biting through all the flesh and bone. His body went limp in my mouth. I grabbed him and tossed him to the side.　　I looked around me and saw my warriors and my guests fighting with the rogues. We were winning, but something about all this didn’t feel right. I had a bad feeling in my stomach ever since Will and I arrived at the border. I thought it was because I had to leave Maddie, but the more I thought about it the more I realized that wasn’t the reason.　　Will? I mind-linked him as I sank my canines into another one of the rogues coming at me.　　Yes? He responded, panting a little.　　Something isn’t right. I mumbled. Look at how they are behaving.　　A rogue came at me. He barely attacked even though he was a big wolf and he could have done some damage. He snapped his canines at me, missing my arm for only an inch. But it seemed like it was on purpose. He could have hurt me if he wanted to.　　What the fuck was going on?

  • Rejecting My Lycan Mate   CHAPTER 147 Another Attack

    　　Madeline’s POV　　“Oh, I am so excited about tonight!” Luna Alice exclaimed. “Do you know who is working with whom?”　　I smiled and shook my head.　　“I believe they will decide that once the challenge starts,” I said. “That’s a part of it actually. They need to figure out how to work together to find the object hidden in the forest.”　　Luna Alice nodded. “Oh, so exciting. I can’t wait to see who will win.”　　“I am sure that everyone will want Alpha Theodore’s warrior on their team,” Luna Maria chuckled as she took another sip of her drink.”　　Luna Alice nodded. “oh, definitely. “It will be so interesting to see how they will decide.”　　I smiled at them and glanced at Dimitri. He was only a few steps away from me. He was talking to Alphas Theodore and Lincoln. I couldn’t hear what they were talking about, but Dimitri was smiling and I relaxed a little. He was too tense ever since we came to the throne room. He refused to let go of me for the first half an hour. I barely managed to conv

  • Rejecting My Lycan Mate   CHAPTER 146 He Is Useless

    　　Unknown’s POV　　“Is everything ready?” I asked as I put my hands in my pockets.　　I was looking through the window into the thick forest that surrounded my new home. It was just perfect. I couldn’t wait to build my future here. All of my dreams would come true in this place. I would finally get everything I always wanted to have. I would finally become everything I was always supposed to be.　　“Yes, Alpha,” Brody said. “Everything will be over tonight.”　　I smiled and took a deep breath. I was so excited and I could barely think about anything else other than finally seeing her tonight.　　“What about Kendrick, Alpha?” Brody asked and my mood worsened instantly.　　I fucking hated that man. He was nothing but a greedy, little rat who thought that he would get what he fucking wanted by sucking up to me.　　“He is a useless piece of thrash,” I said, growling quietly. “We don’t need him.”　　Brody was silent for a moment.　　“Are you sure, Alpha?” he asked. “He has insight into…”　　“What?” I

  • Rejecting My Lycan Mate   CHAPTER 145 Not Funny

    　　Dimitri’s POV　　If someone would describe me as an overprotective and an over-possessive mate I would tell them that they hadn’t seen anything yet.　　Now that I knew Maddie was pregnant, I would be damned if I let her out of my sight for even one second. Especially in a situation like this when everyone was here and where there was someone who wanted to take my throne. My mate and my pup were a sure way to do that. I would give up everything for them.　　“Princess,” I mumbled softly as I approached her and wrapped my arms around her from behind.　　I placed a hand on her lower belly and kissed her shoulder. I was holding my entire world in my arms and that feeling was so fucking hard to describe.　　“How are you feeling?” I asked her. “Are you nauseous? Are you uncomfortable?”　　Maddie chuckled and shook her head.　　“I am perfectly fine,” she said, placing her hand over mine. “I am only a few days pregnant. I think that the symptoms will come a bit later.”　　I knew that, but I had to as
