“I was so scared,” she cried out. “I thought that…”

Her voice broke and another sob escaped her.

“I know, princess,” I mumbled as I kissed her temple again. “But there is nothing to be scared about. I would never choose that throne over you. I would never choose anything or anyone over you.”

I leaned my head on hers and took a deep breath.

“You are my heart and my soul, Maddie,” I added quietly. “You are everything and I don’t need anything else in this world.”

CHAPTER TWO – Still Mine

Madeline’s POV

My entire body was shaking. I was in shock. I was scared.

I was in complete disbelief.

I was shocked when Oliver said that I was a Lycan, but hearing Dimitri say that I was the heir…

It was too much. The first thought that came to mind was that Dimitri would see me as a threat. He was the King. This was his Kingdom. This was his throne. He deserved to be the leader. He deserved to sit on that throne, not me.

All I wanted was my mate. I didn’t want the throne. I didn’t want to be the leader. I didn’t want to be a Lycan. I wanted Dimitri.

When he said that he didn’t see me as a threat, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I felt like I was finally able to breathe again. I couldn’t stop sobbing. I was so relieved.

But I was scared as well. What did it all mean? Was that the reason Skye refused to shift? Was she protecting me from finding out that I was a Lycan?

Was it even real? Maybe Oliver was wrong. Maybe it wasn’t true.

“Oliver could be wrong,” I mumbled quietly. “Maybe it’s not true.”

Dimitri kissed my temple and ran his fingers through my hair.

“Maybe,” he said. “But I doubt it, princess. You being a Lycan explains a lot.”

I lifted my head and Dimitri gave me a small smile. He wiped the tears from my cheeks and placed a soft kiss on my lips.

“Like what?” I asked quietly.

Dimitri raised an eyebrow at me.

“Me being a Lycan explains what?” I asked.

Dimitri tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and sighed.

“Skye refusing to shift to protect you,” he said. “You having powers.”

I nodded and took a deep breath. Dimitri caressed my cheek and smiled.

“Don’t worry, Maddie, okay?” he said softly. “I won’t let anything happen to you. I will protect you from everything and everyone.”

I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him.

“I really want to be alone with you,” I mumbled against his lips. “I got so scared that I would lose you. I need to feel you inside me. I need to feel your skin against mine. I need you.”

Dimitri grunted, pressing me closer to him. He lifted his hips and I could feel how hard he was. An intense feeling of need washed over me.

“Fuck, Maddie,” Dimitri mumbled as he lowered his head and kissed my mark. “You are driving me insane. Just hearing you say that you need me is enough to make me so fucking hard.”
