Rejecting My Lycan Mate: The Throne (Three Lycan Kingdoms Series Book 3)

Dimitri’s POV

I closed our bedroom door and looked at Maddie. My heart clenched painfully. She looked so tired and so overwhelmed.

“Princess,” I called her quietly as I approached her.

She looked at me and took a deep breath. I finally reached her and wrapped my arms around her.

“I am so done with everything,” she mumbled as she hugged me back. “I am tired.”

I ran my fingers through her hair and kissed her temple.

“I know, my love,” I said softly. “I can see it.”

I needed to find a way to relax her. I needed to find a way to show her that she wasn’t alone in this. I needed to find a way to show her how fucking much I loved her.

“What day is it?” she asked after a few moments of silence. “When is the Alphas Meeting starting?”

I ran my fingers through her hair again. I honestly didn’t know the answer to that question. I completely lost track of time. In a day or two maybe? Or maybe even more? Three, or four days? I had no fucking idea.

But I knew that I wasn’t going to talk about it with her. She needed to relax. She needed to forget about everything. She needed a night of peace and quiet.

“We are not talking about that, princess,” I said as I rubbed her back gently. “You are going to let me take care of you. You are going to let your mate do everything he possibly can to help you relax.”

She sighed and leaned more into me.

“That sounds nice,” she mumbled quietly.

I smiled and then an idea popped up in my head.

I picked her up and she yelped in surprise.

“What are you doing?” she asked, her eyes widening.

“I am helping you relax,” I said, giving her a small smile.

I opened the bathroom door and walked to the vanity. I put her on top of it and kissed her forehead. She furrowed her brows and I winked at her.

I let her go and started preparing us a bath. Maddie chuckled, making me look at her.

“That already looks amazing,” she said.

I smiled and walked back toward her. I had a minute or two before the bathtub filled and I really wanted to hold her.

I smiled and caressed her cheek.

“I love you, princess,” I said as I started taking her shirt off.

She lifted her arms so I could pull the shirt over her head. I started kissing her neck gently and threw the shirt on the floor behind me. Maddie sighed contently and wrapped her arms and legs around me.

“I love you too,” she mumbled. “I love you so much it hurts. I can’t imagine my life without you. I don’t want to imagine my life without you.”

I placed a soft kiss on her jaw and looked at her.

“It’s a good thing that you don’t have to,” I said, smirking a little. “You are kind of stuck with me.”

She chuckled and cupped my cheek.

“I am?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Oh, yes,” I said as I reached behind her and unclasped her bra. “I am yours and I expect to be treated as such, my Queen.”

She laughed and kissed my neck softly.

“Well, then I must order you to take your clothes off and let me worship what’s mine,” she said, making my entire body tremble.

She didn’t have to ask me twice. I was naked in front of her only a few seconds later. She smiled and ran her hands down my chest.

“I think that the bath is done,” Maddie chuckled, making me look over my shoulders.

“Fuck,” I mumbled and rushed to turn the water off.

Maddie jumped off the counter and approached me. I turned around and saw that she had taken the rest of her clothes off. My heart skipped a beat. I saw her naked so many times since her birthday, but I would never get used to how beautiful she was. She always took my breath away. She always made my heart skip a beat.

I helped her get inside the tub.

“Is the water okay?” I asked and she gave me a small nod.

“Get in,” she said as she reached out for me.

I smiled and got inside the tub. I sat behind her and pulled her to my chest. She sighed contently as soon as I wrapped my arms around her. I kissed her temple and she rested her head on my shoulder.

“Thank you,” she mumbled quietly.

“What for?” I asked as I ran my hands down her body.

I gently squeezed and caressed every part of her I could reach. She kept sighing and moaning quietly.

“For doing this,” she said. “I needed it.”
I smiled and turned my head so I could kiss her cheek.

“Of course, princess,” I said softly. “You are not alone in this. I am in it with you. I am here for you in every way possible.”

She looked at me and smiled.

“How did I get this lucky?” she asked and caressed my cheek.

I shrugged and smirked.

“I’m a catch, aren’t I?” I said, wiggling my brows.

Maddie laughed and nodded. “Oh, yes you are.”

I leaned in and kissed her softly. I ran my hand up her body until I reached her shoulders. I started massaging her firmly, but gently. I lowered my lips to her jaw and her neck. She moaned quietly and it made me smile. I could feel her relax and it was all that mattered to me.

I started kissing her collarbone and her shoulder and I started massaging her upper arms.

“Oh, Dimitri,” she sighed quietly.

I enjoyed the taste of her skin on my lips and my tongue. I wanted more of it and I couldn’t stop kissing her.

She leaned her head back on my shoulder and sighed again. I smiled and placed another kiss on her neck.

“I love you,” she mumbled. “You are the best thing that ever happened to me.”

My heart skipped a beat. I didn’t respond. I reached my mark on her neck and kissed it gently. She moaned and placed her hands on my thighs. She started running her hands up, making me flinch and moan.

She turned around and straddled me. I felt her wet, warm pussy press against my hard cock and I grunted loudly. She kissed me gently and I knew that we wouldn’t leave that bathtub anytime soon.
