I would go fucking insane if something happened. Mike and I made sure that someone I trusted was always close to her. I wasn’t planning on letting her go or leaving her at any moment, but I never knew what could happen. I had to make sure my princess was safe.
I took a deep breath, kissed Maddie’s temple, and focused on Landon and his introduction of the participants.
CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX – We Should Have Lunch
Madeline’s POV
I kept a smile on my face as Dimitri and I walked through the crowd. Everyone wanted to talk to us. Everyone wanted to see us up close. We saw the members of our pack every day, but I felt like something was special about tonight.
“Luna!” one of the workers at the pack house exclaimed. “You look wonderful!”
“Thank you, Katie,” I said as I gave her a small smile. “You look amazing yourself.”
She blushed and a small smile spread across her face.
“Thank you, Luna,” she said shyly.
I smiled brightly and continued walking through the crowd, shaking hands and greeting everyone I could.
“You look stunning, my Queen,” I heard Kendrick’s voice and I tensed up immediately.
Dimitri’s hold on me tightened and I felt the anger boiling inside him. I used every ounce of strength I had to help him remain calm.
“Thank you, Kendrick,” I said, giving him a small smile. “It is nice to see you.”
“It’s been too long, my Queen,” he said. “We only see each other in meetings. That is such a shame.”
I kept a smile on my face even though I just wanted to run and hide. I was afraid that I would somehow hear his thoughts again. I didn’t want to know what he was thinking. I could see it in his eyes and in the way he was looking at me.
“It’s the nature of our relationship, Kendrick,” Dimitri responded instead of me. “We are working together. You are a member of the council.”
Kendrick looked at him and his jaw twitched.
“I know, my King,” he said. “I just wish our relationship was not just professional.”
Dimitri tightened his hold on me even more. I forced myself to keep smiling.
“Madeline,” I heard Ellie’s voice and I looked to my right.
She approached us, eyeing Kendrick up and down. She had a forced smile on her face.
“I came to take you away,” she said, looking at Dimitri. “The Lunas wish to spend some time with their Queen.”
Dimitri tensed up, but Ellie raised an eyebrow at him. I could tell they were mind-linking each other. Dimitri looked around and took a deep breath.
“Go, princess,” he said as he leaned in and kissed my temple. “I will come to get you as soon as I can.”
I nodded and Dimitri let me go. Ellie took my hand in hers and started leading me away. Kendrick bowed at me as I walked away.
“What was that?” I asked Ellie as soon as we walked away. “I never thought that Dimitri would agree to you taking me away.”
“Well, the Lunas really want to talk to you,” Ellie said. “And I saw both Landon and Alpha Lucius approaching. I knew that Dimitri would lose his shit if you were surrounded by so many people he despises.”
I turned around and saw Alpha Lucius and Landon talking to Dimitri and Kendrick. Dimitri looked like he was going to burst any second. I focused on him and tried to take as much anger as I could away from him. I saw him take a deep breath and his posture relaxed a little. I smiled and turned back toward Ellie.
We reached Ali and the Lunas. I smiled as I approached them.
“My Queen,” Luna Abigail said and bowed a little. “Thank you for joining us.”
