My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 134

34 This is Real

Ronan POV

The closer we get to the royal pack, the crazier Silas is acting. “What the hell is wrong with you? You have been on edge since Della got the phone call.” “I’m not sure. I just feel like something big is about to happen,” he says. “You are giving me a headache with all that pacing.” Thankfully, he recedes in my mind just as we pull through the gates of the royal pack. When the car is finally parked, I step out and stretch. “Ronan, before we go to see Maddy, there is something I need to do. Amethyst says it’s important to do it now,” she says.

I look at her confusion clearly written on my face. “What do we need to do?” “Do you trust me,” she asks. I answer without hesitation. “Of course, I do. I trust you completely.” “Good, I need you to take my hand and don’t let go no matter what you feel,” she says. I look at Valor, and he smiles like he knows the secret. I place my hand in hers. As soon as my skin touches hers, I feel like the wind is knocked out of me. I fall to my knees, but she makes no move to release my hand.

A wave of pain rolls through me. I swear it’s nearly as bad as the pain I felt the day of my first shift. Thankfully, it doesn’t last nearly as long. When the pain finally subsides, I’m panting and trying to pull air into my lungs. “Ronan, I’m so sorry. I had no idea it was going to be so hard on you. I swear I would have warned you,” Della says. Valor helps me to my feet and slaps my back. “A warning would have been nice, but can you tell me exactly what the hell just happened?”

“It will be better if I don’t, but I promise it was a blessing from the goddess. Now let’s go check on Maddy before we head to the hospital,” she says. I nod as a feeling of excitement bubbles up inside me. Why is the thought of seeing Maddy again making my heart race? I know she isn’t my mate, or I would have known the first time I saw her. She is beautiful and watching her put that b**ch in her place that day in the kitchen had me thinking all kinds of thoughts I shouldn’t have had.

I remember feeling guilty as I headed back to my room, especially since I wasn’t sure exactly what was pulling me to Della. It definitely would have been ironic if I had been mated to Maddy after the way Roger practically spit in the face of the goddess. I will never understand how he could kill his own mate. The woman should have been my mother. I shake the thoughts away and follow Della and Valor. When we step into the pack house, Della growls and Valor freezes.

I look past them and growl when I see that b**ch Juniper rushing toward Valor. “Valor, where have you been? I was worried when no one would tell me. I’ve missed you,” she says as she launches herself at Valor again. I throw my head back and laugh when she is knocked onto

her a** by Della. “Do not touch my mate,” she says. “He is not your mate. I don’t know what game you are playing or what magic you’ve used, but he is not yours,” the stupid b**ch says. back through gritted teeth.

“Enough, Juniper. She is my mate, and you would do well to shut the f**k up. Why are you still here? Obviously, your mate isn’t here. It’s time for you to leave and travel to the next pack you plan to visit,” Valor says. “No, I’m not leaving. You are not meant to be hers. I know she has done something to make you believe you are, but you aren’t Valor. I love you. I know you love me,” she says.

I can see Della is ready to launch herself at the stupid b**ch but the queen and king interrupt. “What the hell is going on,” Ace asks. Juniper goes quiet, but her eyes stay focused on Valor. “Della is my mate, my king,” Valor says. “No, she isn’t. You said yourself that you felt a pull to her but not the bond. She has done something to make you believe there is a bond. Don’t be fooled by her Valor,” Juniper says. Growls sound around her, and she drops her gaze to the floor.

Good, stupid c**t should be afraid. “My office now,” Ace says, leaving no room for debate. They turn and start toward the stairs. Valor takes Della’s hand, and we start to follow behind the queen and king. It startles me when Della turns when we reach the top of the stairs. “I don’t want you to come with us,” she says. I feel like she just slapped me. She doesn’t want me to go with them. What the hell did I do? I’m just about to ask when she speaks again.

“You have more important things to do. Go to the second floor and follow the scent,” she says with a huge smile on her face. I’m confused again. “What scent, Della?” “You’ll know when you smell it,” she says. “Do what she says,” Silas growls. “Fine, but if you need me, link me. I know you can.” She and Valor turn making their way toward the office. I take the next flight of stairs. I bare my neck as soon as I see Liam.

“Not necessary, kid. Congratulations,” he says. Before I can ask him what for he heads down the stairs. I take three steps down the hallway when the most delicious scent of wildflowers has me tripping over my own feet. “Mate, find mate,” Silas says. My heart begins to pound against my chest as we move further down the hall. The guard nods when he sees me. I’m shocked when he steps away. I stop outside the door where the scent is the strongest. I’m just about to knock when the door opens.

Madelena POV

I step out of the pack house and head down the path that leads to the berry bushes. I haven’t been here since the day of the attack. I feel like my feet are moving, but I’m not in control of them. Wasn’t I under guard in the guest bedroom? This must be a dream. I step through the trees and a glowing light has me stopping in my tracks.

In seconds, a woman appears with long flowing red hair. She smiles and warmth spreads

through my body. “Hello Madelena. You have truly turned into a beautiful young woman,” she says. “I’m sorry but do I know you?” She giggles and takes a step toward me. “I was the first to ever hold you as a pup, but I’ve had the honor of watching you grow,” she says. “Moon goddess” I whisper knowing for sure I’m dreaming now.

She laughs before reaching out her hand to me. I take it, and she leads me to a clearing just beyond the berry bushes. “You are not dreaming, my child. This is very real. Rest assured you are with me right now,” she says. The sound of heavy paws pounding the earth has fear bubbling up inside me. A large beautiful white wolf comes bounding through the clearing and skids to a stop in front of the goddess. The wolf lays down, and the goddess runs her hand down the wolf’s head and snout.
