SWNOVELS Chapter 17
Chapter 0017
Kylian’s POV
“I’ve told you many times, Oliver. The answer is no.”
I put my phone on speaker and tossed it on the bed, letting out an exasperated sigh. As I lay where Della once did, gazing out the tiny window of her bedroom, I felt a deep sense of regret. I was still frozen in time, stuck in the memory of that day I rejected her.
I chose Flora over her, expecting my decision to upset her. Instead, she was so cold, casually accepting my choice as if it didn’t faze her in the slightest. Then, she disappeared, breaking my heart in the
process.
As I relived that memory over and over again, as I lay alone, letting the pain of my aching heart spread across my chest, I realized how stu pid I was. I never should have let her go.
Realizing I had lost myself once again in my sorrows, I finally spoke up to answer Oliver.
“I’m not going to the Lycan King’s dinner. In fact, I don’t have it in me to be cordial with anyone at the moment. There wouldn’t be any point in attending. I’d be rude to the Lycan King and make a fool of myself.”
Oliver was a close friend of mine, an Alpha from one of the packs to the west of the mainland. He was a hopeless romantic, though he came off as frivolous and had a bit of an adulterous air about him. I knew that he was doing what he could to endure, to refrain from making fun of me when I was so vulnerable. Nevertheless, I could imagine his teasing smile from his tone.
“But your Luna and sweetheart are both here. Why don’t you come over?”

Hearing that Della was also present, my breath slowed and my heart. sk ipped a beat.
“What are you talking about? Who did you see?”
“Your sweetheart Flora’s here. I just saw her.”
I wondered if the buffoon had actually misunderstood me or if he found joy in teasing me like this.
“What about Della?” I pushed. “Did you see her there?”
“I did. I even kissed her hand. You should’ve seen the odd look she gave me. I suppose that means she didn’t recognize me at all. I have to say, the picture of her you showed me earlier was terrible. She looks stunning tonight!”
Hearing another man compliment my mate so openly was far from pleasant, but having more important matters to concern myself with, I wouldn’t dwell on Oliver’s tactless behavior. I frowned and continued
to question him.
“Did she go with Flora?”
“No, she was with a girl I don’t recognize. The two were accompanied by more guards than I could count. Is that to say you didn’t send
them?”
Da mn it all. Of course I didn’t!
Despite sending men to search for her, I received virtually no information on where she could have been. And now, she had somehow made an appearance at the Lycan King’s dinner party, followed by warriors of unknown allegiance.
I wondered if she had found a new man so quickly, but I dispelled the thought. Even if that was the case, I would never accept it. She was mine since the day I chose her.

“And what?” frowned, searching through my wardrobe for a nuit to wear I had time time to waste now that I knew Della was at the banquet I would come back to my Luna and claim her as my own in this very bed that I had laid on, I would pin her down and give her such pleasure that she would regret ever having left my side. And all the while her moans and pleas would fill the room
