I growled quietly, making Maddie rub my back gently.
Will glanced at the watch on his wrist and muttered a curse under his breath.
“We are going to be late,” he said as he started walking toward the door. “I am going to go get Ali. We have to leave.”
He rushed out of my office and I immediately pulled Maddie to me. I pressed my lips against hers and cupped her cheeks.
“Stay beside me the entire time,” I said softly. “Am I clear?”
“Yes,” she mumbled and kissed me.
I melted into her embrace, wishing we could just stay here where she was safe. I couldn’t wait for the night to be over. I couldn’t wait until I was asleep next to her. I couldn’t wait until she was safely wrapped in my arms.
CHAPTER FORTY – The First Challenge
Dimitri’s POV
Loud cheering and clapping made me look back at the battlefield. The last fight of the night was almost over. Alpha Theodore’s warrior was winning. I couldn’t care less about the tournament. I kept looking around, trying to see if anyone was acting suspicious.
Kendrick, Landon, and Rayan were sitting close to us. Kendrick kept glancing at Maddie and the urge to gauge his eyes out only grew inside me. I couldn’t wait to find evidence about him working with the traitors. I couldn’t wait to have a reason to kill the fucker.
“He is really good,” Maddie said quietly.
A wave of jealousy washed over me and Maddie chuckled.
Are you seriously jealous?She mind-linked me.As if I would ever want or need anyone else but you.
I glanced at her and saw her shaking her head at me.
I wasn’t jealous until you mentioned how good he was.I mumbled through the mind-link.
Looking back, letting her watch half-naked men fight wasn’t one of my best choices.
She took my hand in hers and squeezed it.
He isn’t you.She said softly.All I want and all I need is you.
I lifted her hand and kissed her knuckles softly.
I know, princess.I said and looked at her.
My heart skipped a beat. I was sometimes stunned by the amount of love I felt for her. I still couldn’t believe that the Goddess gave her to me. I sometimes still couldn’t believe that I was lucky enough to stand beside her and call her mine.
“We have a winner!” Landon exclaimed, making me look back at the battlefield.
Alpha Theodore’s warrior won.
Maddie and I stood up and started applauding him. People around us cheered and clapped. Alpha Theodore approached his warrior and patted his back. I could see how proud he was.
Some of my warriors rushed to help Alpha Ezekiel’s warrior who was lying on the ground and whining quietly.
“Congratulations!” Landon exclaimed, shaking the winner’s hand. “It was a well-deserved victory.”
Landon was smiling brightly and it annoyed me. I wanted to wipe that stupid smile off his face.
“Thank you, Chancellor,” Alpha Theodore’s warrior said, smiling a little.
He looked at Maddie and me and bowed.
