My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 46

46 Don’t Touch My Mate

Ace POV

I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that minutes ago I was a Lycan. “No, I was a

Lycan,” Ryker says. You know damn well what I meant.” We step into the kitchen and Olivia immediately heads toward the stairs, making me smile. She loves Della as much as I do. I whirl on the pr*ck behind me. I

don’t care who Ryker said these f**king ba**ards are. They scared the hell out of Olivia and me.

I grab the a**hole by the throat and slam him against the wall. “Why the f**k did you touch my mate if you’re

some royal guard?” “My lord, I had orders. We never intended to harm the wolf,” he says. “That wolf is my mate and if you ever touch her again it’s not Ryker that you will have to fear.“Yes, my lord. I apologize for

upsetting you,” he says. “You will apologize to my mate.” “Of course, my lord.”

I release him and take a step back. Where did the other men go?“They returned to the king. We were simply

supposed to provoke you to see if you truly were a Lycan. We couldn’t sense your beast earlier, but you look

so much like Lorraine” he says. A can’t stop the growl that escapes me. “How do you know my mother’s

name?” The sound of footsteps has me turning just in time to see Olivia stepping back into the kitchen.

“I told Della you would go open as soon as we are done down here.” I nod before I feel the nudge of her link.

“Della says that you can trust the guards but don’t tell them about Amethyst until you meet the king,” she says. I turn back toward the man. What is your name?“It’s Liam. I am the king’s second. I have been with

him from the beginning,” he says. “How long has that been,” Olivia asks.

“I am one hundred and fifty. I’ve been by his side since I turned thirty. I also want to apologize for scaring you,

my lady,” Liam says. I nearly choke on my own spit. One hundred and fifty years old, how?“We live a very

long time, my lord, unless someone kills us, but even that is hard to do,” he says. A sadness washes over me

and I realize it’s not my feelings. I turn toward Olivia, but she is hiding her emotions from me. I move toward her, not caring that we have an audience.

“What’s wrong,” I ask, and at first she tries to brush it off, but she must realize I felt it. “I’m a wolf. We don’t live

as long as Lycans. I don’t want you to feel that kind of loss,” she says. I pull her into my arms and press a kiss

on her head. “I don’t mean to interrupt but you won’t have to worry about losing each other. Once you are

marked by a Lycan, your lives will be intertwined. You will live as long as he does. One cannot survive without

the other,” he says.

This king you keep talking about. Why did he send you here and why do you know my mother?“Perhaps we

should sit. What I have to say might be a lot to take in,” Liam says. We make our way into the living room.

Olivia and I take seats side by side on the couch. I hold her close to my side, knowing I’m going to need her

close for whatever the hell I’m about to hear. Liam takes the chair across from us.

true king

“I honestly don’t know how much I can tell you about the king. I’m sure he wants to be the one to tell you

about himself and how he knows your mother. What I can tell you is that for the last thirty years

“Yes, they murdered most of the Lycans using black magic. They believed that the king died that day, but my men and I were able to get him out of the castle. Some of the Lycans fled but most died. That’s when the council decided to take over. It’s said there is an alpha that pulls the strings but no one knows for sure because he isn’t part of the council. He has kept his identity hidden if the rumors can be believed. He wanted

“Holy f**k, this sounds like something out of a movie” Olivia says. “When can I meet this king?“I will head back to the cottage tonight. I’m sure he will want to meet with you as soon as possible. I will have to bring you to him some time tomorrow.” “Why can’t he come here? How do we know this isn’t a trap” Olivia asks. I

Fine, we will meet him tomorrow evening. We need time to take care of things in the morning. I won’t bring our daughter to meet someone I don’t know or trust.” “Of course, I’ll take my leave. Be safe until I see you again,” Liam says before he bows to me. I follow him to the door and lock it behind him.

When she folds over with laughter, my steps falter and the panic rushing through me worsens. I know how much she has been through. Does she think that being with me now is just too much? Goddess, I wish she would let her block down. “Just ask her what the f**k she’s thinking. She isn’t going to reject us. She loves us,” Ryker says, like I’m an id*ot. Olivia, are you alright?
