“You already did,” I said softly. “I have more security than any other person alive. I would be surprised if someone managed to hurt me.”
I chuckled and Dimitri growled.
“Try not to worry so much, my love,” I said softly. “I am safe. Nothing is going to happen to me.”
Dimitri pulled me closer and kissed my temple.
“If you would be willing to leave her…,” Oliver spoke, but Dimitri’s loud growl interrupted him.
“No!” Dimitri yelled and I felt anger boiling inside him. “I am not leaving her!”
He wrapped his arms around me and I felt him shaking.
“You didn’t let me finish, Alpha,” Oliver said calmly. “Your Beta and Mike would be with her. If you are not there, maybe she could figure out who is trying to take your throne.”
Dimitri took a deep breath and released it slowly.
“I am not risking anything,” he said. “I will find out who the bastard is, but I won’t put my mate in danger to do it.”
“She wouldn’t be in danger, Alpha,” Oliver said. “Your Beta and her father…”
“Would be there, yes,” Dimitri interrupted him. “I trust them both, but it’s not just about that. It’s not easy for Maddie to read minds. It’s exhausting and her head starts hurting. I don’t want her in pain. I will find another way.”
I smiled and caressed his cheek. I loved him with my entire heart. Dimitri looked at me and leaned in to place a soft kiss on my cheek.
“I am not using her for this,” he said, stroking my hair gently. “I will find another way.”
I cupped his cheek and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
“I am willing to help, Dimitri,” I said. “If I can find something and it can help avoid…”
“No,” he said sternly. “What if they figure out what you can do? What if they somehow find out who you are? I don’t want you exposed. I don’t want them to know. They can’t fucking know.”
I glanced at Will.
Can you help me?I mind-linked him.
He sighed and furrowed his brows.
I agree with him, Maddie.He said.But…
He stopped talking and took a deep breath.
“Lunch with the Lunas,” Will said, making Dimitri look at him. “Ali and Ellie will be there with her. Maybe one of the Lunas knows something.”
Of course! Why didn’t I think of that?
“I didn’t say she could go to that,” Dimitri said, growling quietly.
I sighed and made him look back at me.
“We are in the middle of a very important event,” I said. “You can’t keep me away from everything, Dimitri. It’s going to look suspicious.”
Dimitri tightened his jaw.
“She is right, Dimitri,” Will said. “I understand that you want to keep her safe, but you can’t lock her up and keep her away from everything and everyone. She is a Queen. She has duties. It will look suspicious if she doesn’t fulfill them.”
I could feel fear rising in Dimitri. I placed my hand on his back and rubbed it gently.
