My Promised Rejection (Olivia and Ace) novel Chapter 135

Madelena POV

My heart races as he finally sets me on my feet. He grips my hand and I stare into his handsome face. I still don’t understand how this is possible. “Alpha Ronan,” I start to say, and he growls low. “I am Ronan to you, my Luna. We are equals. You never have to use my title,” he says. “Ronan, how is this possible? You’ve met me before, so how is that we are mates? How old are you? Did you just get your wolf? Is this because I’m wolfless that I didn’t know? Did you know and not say anything? Why would the goddess make me your mate?”

Before I can ask another question, Ronan pulls me back into his arms and slams his lips down on mine. Holy sh*t he’s kissing me is my last thought before my only focus is on his lips moving on mine. They are soft but demanding. I feel the kiss all the way to my toes. My first kiss with this man, who is my mate. Hell my first kiss ever.

When he finally breaks the kiss, we are both breathless. He leans his forehead against mine. “Now I’ll answer your questions, Maddy. “This is possible because the goddess made it so. I’m nearly seventeen, but as you can see, I am bigger than most men, twice my age. Age is just a number, Maddy. I’ve had my wolf since my sixteenth birthday. As far as you being wolfless, it doesn’t matter.” “Ronan, how can I be your Luna without a wolf?” He growls again, and I swear it stirs something in my belly. I’m not afraid in the least that he is angry at me.

“Don’t look at me like that, mate, or I will be showing you how much it doesn’t matter, and I know you aren’t ready,” Ronan says, but his voice is deeper. “Silas is right, Maddy. It doesn’t matter if you have a wolf or if you are an omega, because I know that’s coming next. You are our fated mate. We aren’t like the ba**ard that is our sperm donor. You are the only woman I’ll ever want. The other half of our soul. Nothing will stop me from claiming you. In fact, I would like to mark you if you are ready. We can wait as long as you want to complete the mating, but Silas and I both agree we need to see our mark on your neck,” he says.

Am I ready for that? What if he changes his mind? What if he realizes he needs a Luna that has a wolf? A growl brings me out of my thoughts. “I don’t need to have our bond completed to know you are doubting us Maddy. Talk to me. Tell me what you’re thinking, beautiful,” he says. I can feel the heat on my cheeks. “Ronan, I’m scared. I feel the pull of the bond as strongly as you do, but I can’t mark you. What if you decide you need a mate.”

Before I can finish the sentence, he growls and slides his hand around the back of my neck, forcing my eyes to meet his. “You are mine. Nothing is going to change that. You are my mate, the other half of my soul, and my Luna. Even if you can’t mark me with your teeth, I will carry your mark. I’ll tattoo your name across my chest, so the world knows it is you I belong too. I’ll never change my mind, Maddy. You are it for me. I have never touched another she–wolf and I never will,” he says.

As I let his words wash over me, I can see the sincerity of his words in his eyes. “I want you to mark me, Ronan.” His eyes darken, and I know I’m not ready for the mating, but letting him claim me feels right. I’m not sure if I want my name tattooed on his chest, but I’d like something to let the world know he is mine. I can’t help the smile I know is on my face. I never expected to have a mate, let alone someone like Ronan.

The low growl that brings me out of my thoughts sends a shiver down my spine. He moves his other arm and tightens it around my middle, so I’m pressed against him. I reach up and sweep the hair off my neck to give him better access. He bends his head toward my neck and I can feel his breath against my skin. He breathes in my scent as I breathe in his. “Mine.” The sound of what can only be a perfect mix of Silas and Ronan’s voice claims me before I feel the sharp sting of Ronan’s canines enter my skin.

Holy f**k, is my only thought as pleasure washes over me like a tidal wave. I should be embarrassed when the moan escapes me but it’s the farthest thing from my mind. When he finally pulls his canines from my skin, I feel the bond strengthen between us. He licks my skin to seal his mark before he pulls back and presses his lips against mine again. The urge to climb him like a tree is overwhelming as the kiss has heat blooming in my core.

He giggles against my lips. He can’t possibly know what I just thought. Before I can pull back to ask him why he is giggling, a feeling of warmth envelops me. I try to open my eyes, but I can’t. Before the darkness completely takes me under, an image of a white wolf flashes in my mind.

Before I can react, Della has her pinned to the floor and punches her once in the face. “You must be out of your mind to say that to my mate in front of me. You were given a chance to walk out of this office and return to your coven, Juniper, but now I think you need a lesson on coveting someone else’s mate,” Della says. I swear to the goddess I have to adjust myself and Ace glares at me. The phone ringing on his desk thankfully has his focus off me. After a short conversation, Ace clears his throat.

“Della, Myra is awake. We need to table this for right now. I would like to get Maddy out of that room and deal with Lisa and her father,” he says. Della finally releases her and I pull her into my arms. “I am yours, my love. She is nothing to me.” “I know, but she needs to be reminded. Dad, I want her put in the cells until we deal with the other situation,” Della says. “You can’t lock me up for telling Valor I love him,” Juniper says. Della goes to lunge at her but this time I hold her tight.

“She isn’t worth it, Della. Let’s go to the hospital. You can teach her a lesson later. I will let my parents know of her punishment.” There is a knock before a guard steps inside and heads straight for Juniper. As he drags her away, she is screaming for me to help her. As if I’d help the stupid b**ch. I can’t wait to watch Della beat her a**. We start to head out of the office when Della’s footsteps falter. She turns to look at me with a smile on her face. I look at her,confused. “Ronan, marked Maddy. I guess she passed out, and he is panicking,” sh

“Maddy is really his mate.” “I know you suspected it,” she says, and I smile. “Why a panicking too?” “Amethyst just told me that Liora called out to her the minute Ron Maddy. She didn’t want to unite with her human until she knew Ronan marked her. wanted Maddy to wonder if he wouldn’t have wanted her without a wolf,” she says getting a wolf,” I ask in surprise. “She is and Amethyst and I are about to make it Della says, leading me out of the office.
