The King And The Rejected She-wolf novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 – Regret
LIAM
Fuck, fuck, fuck. That stupid whore smacked Laura, with one purpose, to draw blood. I threw Danielle out of the door after nearly choking her.
I hurry over to Laura it hurts me seeing her hurt, especially when it is because of me. I try to check her wound but she pulls away from me. I freeze, her eyes look at me with pain within them.
“I will mindlink the doctor. Get him to come here to check it.”
“I am fine.” She turns away as if she is going to walk away.
“Laura!”
“It’s fine Liam, I will heal.”
“At least let me help you naked sure is clean.” She laughs. 1
“You afraid the women you sleep with have dirty hands or something?” I cringe at her words. Guess deserved that one.
“Laura.”
“I am fine Liam. But maybe warn me next time so I can’t stay out of sight and the women visiting you, don’t get the wrong ideas.” Fuck. I hate how her voice sound right now, it’s filled with so much disgust right now. She begins to walk up the stairs. 2
“I’ll be down when dinner is ready Rosa. Link me if you need help setting the table.” With those words, she leaves.
Mom and Mack don’t say anything. They know how bad I am already cursing myself. I walk upstairs and stop outside her door, I can’t hear her. But some water is running g in the bathroom.
‘You are fucking stupid.’ Shadow tells me.
‘Thank you, you don’t have to tell me that.’
Fuck I wish I had not gotten Danielle to come here. It wasn’t even that good anyway. It had done nothing t o release the tension in my body. I go to my room to go to take a shower. Standing there, Laura, and thoughts about her fill my head.
Stepping out of the shower, I dress and leave my room. I stopped by the door into Laura’s bedroom and knocked on the door, but I didn’t get an answer, maybe she had already gone downstairs.
I entered the kitchen, and saw her making the table ready, I grab her warm gently. 1
“Are you okay Laura?” She doesn’t look up but answers.
“Yes, I am fine.”
“Laura I am sorry, I shouldn’t have asked her to come here.” 1
“Liam, you can have all the women you want to come here, I am not judging you for that. I just don’t want t o be caught in the crossfire, because they think I am going to take you from them.” She tells me still not looking at me.
“I won’t judge you, you don’t have a mate you need to think about. I understand you are a man at your best age. And not like I thought you had turned into a monk, you are after all a werewolf and our king. She continues. Her words leave a surprising pain in my heart, I hate that she won’t look at me.
LAURA
I don’t know how to look at Liam and not show him the unexpected pain I felt from knowing he was intimate with that bitch. I am not sure why I feel the way I do, it is not like he is my mate or even my boyfriend. I tell myself that it is because he has taken such good care of me, and it is not my place to act like a jealous mate or girlfriend. It is his life, and he can be with anyone he wishes.
I eat my dinner without joining in on the conversation, I am trying to battle the feeling I have inside right now. Why am I feeling like this?
ISRAEL
After dinner, I walk up to my room, and I lay on my bed when tears slowly form in my eyes and run down over my cheek. I try to keep my sobs in but fail big. It has all happened slowly. I was so broken when Liam found me and he slowly put me back together. He stitched my heart back together, but in doing so he left a part of himself in it. I hadn’t realized that I was falling for him, not before that she-wolf started fighting with me.
‘Why did this happen.’
‘Why does anything happen? It’s fine.’ Kali replies, through our mindlink.
‘But he doesn’t want me, I am nothing Kali nothing but a rejected pregnant she-wolf. And he. He is our king. He deserves better. He needs better than me.’
‘Who says you are not good enough?’
‘Everyone will. People will see me as nothing more than a whore.’
‘He won’t.
‘You don’t know that.’
‘Neither do you.’
I knock sounds on the door and the scent of pinewood and sweet Honey gets stronger. I don’t open the door, nor do I say anything. I don’t want to speak with him right now. I try to keep my sobs quiet but I think he might have heard.
I feel him trying to push a mindlink. But I block it, I don’t want to talk to him or be near him right now, I need to control her feelings and my heart first.
