My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 136

36 Liora

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.

“My amazing mate, even though at first I was worried that I wasn’t strong enough to stand by his side,” she says. I growl low and Selene chuckles. “I think Della disagrees,” Selene says. “I disagree. I realize that even without a wolf I am who I was meant to be. Ronan accepted me without a moment of hesitation. If the roles were reversed, I would have done the same, so who am I to think I am not strong enough when you thought I was,” Maddy says.

Pride swells in my chest for my friend who is finally recognizing the amazing woman she is. Selene reaches out her hand and touches Maddy’s cheek. “I knew you were perfect for my Liora. A strong spirit who will be a force when you stand at your queen’s side,” Selene says. “Who is Liora,” Maddy asks. A low growl has the three of us looking at Liora as she rubs her head against Maddy’s side.

The wolf sitting next to me is beautiful. Her fur is so white it reminds me of powdered sugar. I run my fingers down her head, and she practically purrs. I giggle because I don’t think I have ever heard a wolf purr. “You are a stunning wolf.” “Maddy, this is Liora. She is your wolf,” the goddess says. My eyes snap to meet hers before I drop them, afraid I might offend her.

“Maddy, please don’t lower your head. Just as I said, you are special to me. I am not as silly as my wolves to care about rank,” she says.

I look back up at her perfect skin and flowing red hair. “Maddy, Liora is your wolf. Della will explain everything but Liora is being rather impatient. She has waited a long time to be with you. It’s time for you and Della to head back. Your mate is frantic since you disappeared right in front of his eyes,” she says.

Della takes my hand and my eyes are forced closed. When I open them again I’m lifted off the ground. When my eyes meet Ronan’s, I feel like my body is being set on fire. Every inch of my skin is covered in sweat. “Della, what’s happening? She is burning up,” Ronan says, but I can’t answer him as pain rips through my body. “We need to get her outside. She is going to shift,” Della says.

“Maddy, don’t be afraid I’m here with you,” Liora says. “You are really here. I have a wolf.” If I wasn’t in agony I would be crying tears of happiness, but right now I can only focus on the feeling of my bones breaking. A few seconds later the feeling of wind against my skin lets me know that Ronan has done what Della said and brought me outside. I’m not sure how long everything lasted, but the pain stops as quickly as it started.
