I placed a kiss on her snout and I let her go. I stood up so I could shift. Skol took over faster than ever. He grabbed Skye and whined loudly. He was finally holding his mate in his arms.

CHAPTER THIRTY – Learn How To Fight

Madeline’s POV

I woke up with a terrible headache.

“Hey, princess,” Dimitri said quietly and I felt his lips on my temple.

The headache lessened instantly. I smiled a little and turned my head toward him. I opened my eyes slowly and his handsome face made my heart skip a beat.

“How are you, my love?” he asked softly.

I sighed and furrowed my brows.

“I am still a bit tired,” I said. “And my head hurts.”

Dimitri pulled me closer and placed another kiss on my temple. I smiled and ran my hands up and down his body.

“What time is it?” I asked, closing my eyes and leaning my head on his chest.

“8 a.m.,” he said. “You fell asleep right after you shifted back. I got a bit worried, to be honest. You kind of passed out. But it’s normal. Shifting for the first time can be exhausting.”

Shifted back?

And then I remembered.

I shifted! I couldn’t believe I forgot about that!

I opened my eyes and looked up at him. He smiled and caressed my cheek.

“Skye is beautiful,” he said with so much love in his voice that I couldn’t stop a shiver going down my spine. “Skol is head over heels in love with her.”

I gulped and took a deep breath.

“Is she really…,” I mumbled, but I couldn’t finish my question.

Dimitri nodded and gave me a small smile.

“We already knew that, princess,” he said. “Did you really think that she would turn out to be a regular wolf?”

I looked at his chest and tightened my jaw.

I hoped that she would. I hoped that they were wrong about me. I hoped I wasn’t a Lycan. I hoped that everything was just a big mistake.

“Oh, princess,” Dimitri mumbled as he placed a kiss on my forehead. “She is amazing and I love her with all my heart. She is a part of you and I don’t want her to be anything or anyone else.”

I felt tears burning the corners of my eyes. I loved her too, but I was still so angry. Why did she keep it from me? Why didn’t she want to shift when I turned 18? She left me alone. I was so scared back then and she left me alone. I desperately needed someone and she chose to leave me. What if Dimitri didn’t turn out to be my mate? What if I left the pack and got killed because she refused to shift? She left me alone when I needed her the most.

‘Maddie, I…,’she spoke, but I pushed her back.

I didn’t want to talk to her.

“Skol is completely in love with her,” Dimitri continued, chuckling a little. “He refused to shift back for hours. He only shifted back when Skye did and when you fell asleep in his arms.”

I looked up at Dimitri and forced a small smile on my face.

“I am so happy for Skol,” I said quietly.
