Mated To The King’s Gamma novel Chapter 32

Chapter 32

It was just on dark by the time I returned to the castle. Kade dropped me at the front gate, and I couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. My mate wanted me, and he seemed nice. He told me all about his pack and the packhouse, about duties I would be expected to perform as his Luna. It was nice, though I was still a little wary. I waited for the other shoe to drop. I kept waiting for the rejection, but it never came.

Walking through the gates, I nearly jump out of my skin when Liam moves off the wall beside the iron gates.

“Gannon has been looking for you,” he states, and I swallowed nervously. While with Kade I had completely forgotten about Gannon for those few hours. Guilt swamped me, and my heart beat faster.

“You need to tell him, Abbie,” Liam tells me. I said nothing because I didn’t know what to say. I never thought I would be put in a position where I had to choose

“Are you going to reject Kade or turn Gannon away?” he asks, stepping closer, and for the first time since meeting Liam, I took a step back from him. He didn’t look happy with me, and his entire demeanor was off. He looked like the callous killer I had heard rumors of.

“He’s my mate, Liam,” I answered softly.

“Yes, but you’re a werewolf. You can reject your mates,” he says. My brows furrowed in confusion at his words.

“You want me to reject my mate?” I ask him, knowing doing that would be shunning the moon goddess for the gift she gave me.

“Kade is not a good man, Abbie.” He didn’t elaborate further. Instead, he turned on his heel and walked off before calling over his shoulder.

“You need to tell Gannon. If you don’t, I will.” Liam states, not bothering to stop. “Wait,” I call out to him while chasing after him. He slows but doesn’t stop as he walks through the double doors.

“You can’t tell him. I barely know the man. You’re acting like I am about to run off with him.” I snapped, annoyed at the accusation in his tone. Liam turned on me instantly, and I backed up at the murderous look he gave me. My back hits the stone wall, and I gasp at his closeness.

“That is exactly what you will do. You will run off with your piece of shit mate and forget him. Just like she did. Then I will be left to pick up the pieces.” Liam snarled.

“He’s my mate,” I whisper, suddenly feeling tiny next to this man with the way he had me trapped and cornered. He reaches a hand up, and I flinch, but he only twirls a lock of my hair around his finger.

“Gannon loves you. Kade doesn’t. That man isn’t capable of love. I guess you’ll find that out the hard way,” he whispers before letting go and stepping back.

“What’s that supposed to mean, Liam!” I growl. He glares at my tone, and I didn’t mean for it to come out the way it did, but it was too late to take it back.
