My Promised Rejection (Olivia and Ace) novel Chapter 136

Della POV

“Can you believe that little b**ch saying she loves Valor? She is lucky that we have more important things to do, but she is going to pay for lusting after our mate,” Amethyst says. “Ye s she is.” As soon as I step onto the landing of the Beta floor I’m turned and lifted off my feet. My legs automatically go around Valor’s waist. His eyes meet mine and my stomach flips. “I am yours, Della. I will forever be grateful that the goddess blessed me with such a beautiful, kind, and strong mate,” he says.

“I need you to know I have never thought of her as anything more than a friend. I never led her to believe we would be anything more. For that matter, I have never wanted anything with anyone but you. You are my mate and my queen. The only woman I will ever want or love.” “I know Valor. I love you too. You are my king.” “Can I kiss you, my queen,” he asks. I nod; and he tightens his hold on me before he leans forward, pressing his lips against mine.

I knew kissing my mate would feel good but that word does not do it justice. The kiss starts off gentle, but quickly I can feel it all the way to my toes. I’m not sure how long the kiss lasts, but when he finally breaks it, we are both breathless. “Holy sh*t, that was amazing,” he says and I giggle. “As much as I would love to kiss you again, we should get to Maddy before Ronan loses his sh*t. He sets me on my feet but keeps my hand in his.

We start down the long hallway that leads to the room that Maddy is staying in. “I can’t believe Maddy is getting a wolf,” he says.

I turn offering him a knowing smile. “Not just any wolf, but a Divine Wolf. A white wolf blessed by the goddess.” He opens and closes his mouth like a goldfish and I can’t help but giggle. I pull him further down the hall. Before we reach the room, the door opens and Ronan steps into the hallway looking very frazzled.

“What the hell took you so long? I linked you ten minutes ago. She hasn’t woken up yet. What the hell have you been doing,” he asks. Valor growls and I squeeze his hand. Ronan looks at him before he looks back at me. “I’m sorry Della, I’m terrified. I just found her. I can’t lose her. I marked her and she passed out. Do you think it’s because I’m a tribrid? Did I hurt her because she doesn’t have a wolf,” he asks, fear in his eyes. I release Valor’s hand and move to stand in front of Ronan.

I take his hands in mine. “I promise you, Ronan, that you aren’t losing her. You didn’t hurt her and what’s happening is not because you are a tribrid. There is so much I need to tell you, Maddy, and Valor, but right now Liora is being very impatient. She wants her human.” Ronan looks at me like I have ten heads. “Who is Liora,” he asks. “She is your other mate.” “Della, I don’t understand” he says. “I need you to trust me no matter what happens.” I release his

hands and make my way into the room Ronan just exited.

I smile when I see Maddy lying on the bed. She looks like she is peacefully sleeping. I swear there is even a small smile on her face. The fresh mark on her neck is beautiful. I take a few steps closing the distance between us. As soon as I’m close enough to reach out, I place my hand on her forehead at Amethyst’s insistence. As soon as my skin touches hers, my eyes close. When I open them again I’m in the familiar garden.

I squeal when I realize I’m not alone. Maddy’s eyes meet mine, and she looks like one of those characters in a cartoon whose eyes bug out of their head. “Della, what is happening? Where are we? One minute I was with Ronan, and now I’m here with you,” she says. “I can see you were with Ronan,” I say with a wink. Pink colors her cheeks and I can’t stop the smile on my face. “Congratulations Maddy,” I say, pulling her into a hug.

“Thank you, but I’m still confused. Is this a dream? If it is, it feels really real,” she says. “It’s not a dream, my child,” a familiar voice says, and I look up to see Selene. Liora is seated at her side stalk still, but I can see the excitement in her beautiful purple eyes. “Madelena, you have grown into such a beautiful young woman,” Selene says as she steps closer to Maddy. Maddy looks between us before she looks at Liora, who is moving to her side.

“Moon goddess,” she whispers. “Yes, Maddy, I am the mother of all supernatural kind, but the wolves have always held a special place in my heart. Wolves like you especially,” she says. Maddy looks like she doesn’t know what to say, but she finally speaks. “I have no wolf, Moon goddess, but I have many blessings you have given me. I’m grateful for my mom, for my best friend,” she says, turning to offer me her beautiful smile. I nod and she turns back to Selene.

When I open my eyes, I immediately know I am no longer in my human form. I can hear the softest sounds of the world around me like they are the beat of a drum. My vision is sharp and when I look down my feet have been replaced by paws. “We are finally one. I’m so glad to finally be with you, Maddy,” Liora says. “This is surreal. I never thought I would have a wolf. I had adjourned to the fact that I was going to be wolfless, but I’m so glad I’m not. I already love you, Liora.” “I love you too, Maddy. The goddess was right Maddy. You are special. Della saw it and so did our mate,” Liora says.

“Speaking of mates, we hit the jackpot. He looks like a beast. I feel our connection, but our bond is not complete. After we run, I want our mark on his neck. He is ours. I don’t want anyone lusting after what is ours,” she growls and I giggle. “I want that to. Do you think Ronan, Della, and Valor will run with us?” When she turns her head to look where they were standing, three wolves are in their place. My heart starts to beat out of my chest. “Amethyst, can’t be seen.”

“Della no longer has to hide her wolf. Our queen is whole. She has found her mate and king, her protector, and her divine wolf, aka her best friend, us” she says. “What is a divine wolf?” “We are a divine wolf. Every Midnight Wolf has a divine wolf that stands at their side. The four of us are bound together until our last breaths. Now let’s run. We can talk more later. I haven’t been able to run for a very long time,” she says and takes off.

A pure black wolf that I know is Ronan’s comes to run at our side. “His name is Silas, and I’m looking forward to spending some time alone with him,” Liora says. “Hey, none of that until

I’m ready to mate!” I swear she cackles like a witch before she finally speaks again. “Silly girl once our mark is on his neck you won’t be able to resist using that man for all kinds of wicked things” she says. I’m sure my cheeks turn red because my mind goes back to the kiss and the thought of climbing him like a tree. Holy sh*t I have a wolf and a mate.
