My Promised Rejection (Olivia) novel Chapter 62

62 He Is Mine

Ebony POV

As I step into the foyer, I notice Olivia and Della being held by a man I’ve never seen before. I’m just about to

head back to the hospital and ask her about the man later when a growl has my body freezing. The scent of wild flowers fills my nose and my heart starts to race. Coral is pacing before she finally growls out the word “Mate” and my knees almost give out. Before I can even get my body to cooperate with turning around, I’m

lifted and caged against the wall.

His arms are toned and muscular. As I move up to his face, my breath catches in my throat. He is the most gorgeous man I’ve ever seen. His eyes are black, and I know his wolf is in control. I’m not scared, but I’m not sure what to do next. I know he would never hurt me. “Liam, this is Ebony. She has been waiting for you. Tell

your wolf to calm down,” Oli says, and color finally flashes in his eyes.

“She hasn’t claimed us yet,” he says to Oli before looking back at me. His deep masculine voice has shivers running down my spine. “Claim him Ebony. I want him. You want him,” Coral says. “Mate” I say, and without warning his lips are on mine. Holy f**k, I’ve never felt anything like this in my life. The tingles are shooting to my core. I wouldn’t care if he took me here on the floor in front of everyone.

I swear he chuckles against my lips, but he couldn’t have heard what I thought. Our connection isn’t complete yet. “Liam, let the poor girl breathe. Let’s go to the Alpha office,” the man says from behind us. He pulls back, but his arms are still firmly wrapped around me. When he lifts me, I wrap my legs around him without a second thought. I bury my face in his neck and breathe in his scent. I fight the urge to run my tongue from his

neck to his marking spot.

“Soon little one. Very soon,” he says, making my panties wetter than they already are. How the f**k did he know what I was thinking? “Liam, I need you to put the young lady down and explain exactly what you are before this goes any further,” the man that seems to be in charge says. Coral whimpers and I feel the same at the thought of him letting me go. “No, I don’t want him to put me down. I don’t care what he is. He is mine.”

“Very well, but understand none of the pack know what we are, and we need to keep it that way for now” the man says. “I would never betray my mate or his friends.” The man smiles and Liam squeezes me tighter. “My king may I be excused or do you need me present for this discussion. My beast is not going to settle until my mark is on my mate’s neck,” Liam says. He wants to complete our bond. He knows nothing about my past. Worry washes over me and I wonder if he’ll still want me after I tell him, everything.

“Can’t you just tell him the basics,” Coral whines. I know she wants her mates as much as I do, but we can’t start our mateship with secrets between us. I didn’t even realize we were moving until I hear the door shut, and I’m finally set on my feet, but not for long. “Tell me about your past little one,” he says as he takes a seat on the couch, pulling me onto his lap.

I tell him about everything, including trying to come between Olivia and Ace. By the time I’m done, my eyes are focused on the floor because I don’t want to see the disappointment in his eyes. Two fingers lift my chin and my eyes finally meet his. “No one is perfect little one, and I won’t say that what you did was right, but by the sounds of things, you have made amends to the people that matter. Is that man still in the pack that did

that to you,” he asks.

“Yes, but he and his mate stay away from me. They have two pups. They were too afraid of Candace to bother

me after we graduated.” His expression turns grumpy. “Fine, I won’t kill him but if he even looks in your direction he is dead” Liam says. “I don’t think that’s necessary. It’s in the past. Are you sure you aren’t upset because I didn’t save myself for you?” “Ebony, the only thing that matters to me is being your last. I was not an angel and I have no right to expect a standard from you that I didn’t hold for myself,” he says. I can’t stop the low growl that escapes me.

Liam throws his head back and laughs. “Are you jealous little mate?” I attempt to slide off his lap, but he holds me firmly in place. “I promise you Ebony. The minute I found you, every memory from before you was erased from my mind. You are all that I see,” he says before pressing his lips against mine. I expect him to deepen the kiss, but he doesn’t, and I can’t help the disappointment I feel. He chuckles and I glare at him.

“How do you keep doing that? It’s almost like you can hear my thoughts.” “It’s not like I can, I can. Every Lycan has a power and mine is hearing the thoughts of those around me” he says. “Lycan, you’re a Lycan?” “Yes, does that bother you,” he asks. “Of course, not. I meant what I said in the office. You are mine, Liam. I just

didn’t think there were any Lycans left. We are all taught about what happened to the king in school.”

“What exactly are you taught,” he asks, his voice laced with anger. “That the Lycans were wiped out because

they were mistreating the wolves. Treating them as slaves, is what we were taught.” His eyes glaze over before he looks back at me. “Do you believe that now that you’ve met me,” he asks. “Not for a second. Are all the men with you Lycans?”

“We are all that is left of the royal Lycans after the attack.” “Oh my goddess, where have you been? That

means you are a lot older than me. You have been waiting for me alot longer than I’ve been waiting for you.

No wonder you didn’t wait.” His hands grip my face. “Ebony, all you need to know is that everything you

“You are mine, Liam.” I’m lifted, and he carries me over to the bed. He sets me on the edge and I reach for his
