My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 119

Juniper POV

“Junie, are you sure about this? What if he gets pissed about us going there when he has clearly told you he thinks the next queen is his mate,” Alexia asks for the third time as I shove

my

last bit of clothes into the bag. “For goddess’s sake, Alexia. He has never been mad at me a day in his life. In fact, if it wasn’t for his stupid wolf, none of this would even be an issue. You know how long it can take for our kind to find our beloveds. If his damn wolf wasn’t so hell bent on having its mate he would have realized I’m perfect for him.”

“I am the only girl in the whole coven he spends time with. Besides he needs a strong woman to stand by his side, not some little girl who might not even have a beast. She is no better than a pathetic human.” “I just think you need to be careful. He has always made it known that he wanted his fated beloved,” she says. “He will realize that is a mistake as soon as I show him just how weak and pathetic he is. She is still a pup for goddess‘ sake. He needs a grown woman and I plan to make him finally realize that.”

A firm knock on my bedroom door startles us both. I look at Alexia before I move to open it. I’m shocked to find the queen standing on the other side, but I keep my face impassive. “Your majesty, I was expecting it to be you.” “I’m sure you didn’t. I would like to speak to you alone, Juniper, before you leave for the royal pack,” she says. Alexia immediately bows and rushes from the room. I fight the urge to roll my eyes.

She is so weak but she listens well. I move, and the queen steps into my room. She takes a seat in a large chair in the corner. “Have a seat, Juniper,” she says. I do as she says and wait for her to speak again. “I know that your trip has been approved to find your mate, but I wanted to remind you that is the only purpose of this visit. I know that Valor told you he believes that the future queen is his mate, so I trust that you have no plans to interfere in his relationship,” she says.

“I’m not sure what you could possibly mean, my queen. I simply want the chance to find the man that is meant to be mine. I would never do anything to hurt Valor.” “Good, because if you did, there would be severe consequences, not only from the werewolf kingdom but from ours as well,” she says, a hint of threat in her tone. She stands moving toward the door before she turns back to me. “Travel safely, Juniper, and do not do anything which will embarrass the vampire kingdom or my son,” she says before she finally leaves.

Goddess, she is a pretentious b**ch. She never should have even been queen of our kind.

King Alfonso should have rejected her and stayed with his chosen mate. A pure blood vampire, then all of this wolf bulls*t wouldn’t be a problem. Fifteen minutes later Alexia is slinking back into my room. “Jeez, you ran out of here like your a** was on fire.” “She is the queen, Juniper. When she gives an order, I listen,” Alexia says. This time I don’t stop myself from rolling my eyes.

“Are you finished packing? I want to leave as soon as breakfast is over.” “Yes, my bag is ready. I know that we are doing this for you to convince Valor he should choose you, but what if I find my beloved,” she says. “Well, unless you want some mutt as your beloved, you should hope not.” “You do realize the man you are pining for is part mutt” she says. “Shut up Alexia. It’s not the same. He is more vampire than mutt, and he is going to be king.”

A few minutes later we’re making our way to the dining room. As soon as we step inside, I notice the queen’s eyes are on me. I’ll be glad when we finally leave. “So Juniper, I heard you are leaving the coven to find your beloved. “Finally, giving up on your dream of becoming queen and stealing Valor from his real beloved,” Cora says from behind me. She is one of the girls I threatened many times to stay away from Valor.

I turn and glare at her. “Looks like all that effort you put into keeping us away from Valor was for not,” she says. I stand but Alexia grabs my arm before I can knock the stupid b**ch on her a**. “I would be careful, Cora, or you may find yourself out on your a** one day when the new queen takes her rightful place next to Valor. Come on Alexia, I’ve suddenly lost my appetite.” She stands, and we make our way out of the castle.

The ride feels like it takes forever, but we finally pull onto the road that will take us to the castle. We drive about a quarter of a mile when the sounds of howling has us both looking around. Out of the trees steps four large brown wolves. They block the car and Alexia starts to panic. “Calm the hell down,” I finally say just as two of the wolves shift into their human form. Their very naked human form. It’s too bad they aren’t vampires because they are both

hot.

The larger of the two approaches my window. “State your business at the royal pack,” he says gruffly. “How did you know we aren’t humans and you’ve just revealed your kind to us?” “We are surrounded on all sides by packs. No humans would make it this far. Now I’ll say again, state your business,” he says with a growl. “We are from the vampire kingdom. The king approved my friend and I to see if our beloveds reside in the royal pack. I am also best friends with Valor, the next King of Vampires.”

He rolls his eyes and they immediately haze over. A few seconds later his eyes return to their

sh**ty brown color. “Follow the road until you reach the castle. Someone will be waiting to meet you,” he says before they shift back and take off through the trees. “Holy f**k, that was

scary,” Alexia says. “You’re a warrior for f**ks sake start acting like it.” A few minutes later we

are being led to the castle by what I assume is a pack slave. I know they have a word for

them, but I can’t recall it right now.

We get some strange stares as we are led through the castle. We reach a large wooden door

and the woman knocks. After a few seconds, a woman who I can sense is a wolf opens the

door. Her expression unreadable. “Come inside ladies. I am Queen Olivia and the man behind

the desk is King Ace,” she says as we step inside. “Please have a seat,” he says. I can feel his

authority rolling off him in waves. He isn’t a regular wolf. If the rumors are true, he is a Lycan.

“First, I’d like to welcome you both to the Werewolf Kingdom. Queen Gemma did call us earlier to let us know you were on your way,” he says.

I tighten my fists on my lap. I can only imagine what the hell she said. “We have arranged for

a small cottage near the castle for your stay,” he says. “Is that where Valor is staying?” “No,

Prince Valor is a guest on the Alpha floor,” the queen says. Before I can ask why we aren’t

staying with him, the king speaks again. “There will be several training sessions throughout

the day. I think you ladies should attend to see if your mate is here and also take advantage

of training,” he says.

“We appreciate that, King Ace. I was hoping before we check out the training that we could put our things away and see Valor. He is my best friend, and I’d like to let him know I’ve

arrived.” “He is in private training with my daughter right now, but I will let him know you’ve

arrived as soon as they finish. It shouldn’t be much longer,” he says. What the hell does that

mean, private training? Before I can focus too much on exactly what they are getting up to,

there is a knock on the office door.

I turn just in time to see a petit curvy girl step inside, followed by a man that is built like a tank. As soon as Valor steps in behind them, I’m on my feet and rushing toward him. I throw
