THE LYCAN KING'S REJECT

HOME - lorenzo’s pov

     I couldn’t be happier that I have finally found my mate. After waiting 5 long years for her I finally found her. I’ll admit when I imagined meeting her for the first time I didn't think she would be a legendary white wolf covered in blood with a giant hole in her leg. Though even then she was still beautiful. I couldn't begin to explain the joy I felt when she asked me to stay with her. I was ecstatic she would allow me to sleep near her. I would have slept in the bed with her but I knew how Ryker was. He was a beast that cannot be tamed. He is a  beast that destroys. I didn’t want to do something to her that she would never forgive me for. 

But it was too late. 

I had basically almost r***d my mate in her sleep. How could I do that to her? She will never forgive me for what I did to her. That must have been why she was trying to find a way out. She didn’t want to be near me, so she was trying to get out. She’s going to leave me. I am going to be mateless again. Mateless forever. I screwed up the once in a lifetime deal. 

I never intended to hurt her. I mean who could ever purposely hurt that angle. With her beautiful long hair that reached her waist line. Her beautiful curvaceous short body. It was like she was made in heaven and sent to me on earth. Oh and don’t get me started on her amazing one of a kind eyes. With her one deep red eye and the other a bright blue. She's angelic. She had two of the smallest moles on her face that just made her look even more beautiful. One right above her lip on the left side and another on the right of her eye. Then there's the thick lashes that flowed over her eyes majestically. I haven’t known her for long at all but I learned that when she lies she says ‘like literally’ at the end of her sentence while biting her bottom lip. I wanted to bite her lips.

And now that will never happen. I messed up everything. 

I walked away from her and went back to my bedroom because I didn't trust myself to be near her without hurting her. And I promised her I wouldn’t. 

I sat on the edge of my bed with my elbows on my knees and my head in my hands. How could I do that to her? I thought over and over again. She’s going to leave me, I'll be mateless. I could feel my heart breaking every second that passed with the thought of her leaving me. She would have to reject me and Ryker whimpered a little at the thought of our rejection. 

We have to get to mate before she leaves and rejects us. We can't let her leave. Ryker growls out to me. 

She hates us, we can’t force her to stay here. She will be miserable. 

YOU ARE THE KING I AM ALPHA SHE CANNOT LEAVE US!!!

SHUT UP YOU”RE GIVING ME A HEADACHE!  I told him, and cut our connection. 

I deserved her rejection. I can’t get over what I did to her. I was pulling at the ends of my hair when I heard her footsteps come into the room. She's going to reject us.

“I need you to give me your hand. You’re bleeding and there's still glass in there.” she says softly but firm. 

“I thought you left, what are you still doing here?” I ask her. Why would she come back to me?

“I’m not leaving you, especially not like this.” she said, setting down a bottle of alcohol and a few paper towels on the floor. Then she heads into the bathroom and I can hear her going through the bathroom drawers. I am going to guess she didn't find what she was looking for in the bathroom because when she comes out she goes straight into my closet. A few seconds later she comes out with a red silk piece of cloth. I looked at the cloth when she got closer and realized she cut up one of the silk shirts that must have been in there.

“Did you cut that out of my shirt?” I asked her when she came to kneel in front of me. She set herself right in between my legs. When I pictured her on her knees in front of me this is not how I thought it would be. 

“Yes i did, is that a problem” she sounded very upset with me. Which I completely understand considering what I did to her. So I can't really blame her. 

She takes my arm in her hand and starts pulling out the glass. After I found her trying to leave I went to get a drink, but squeezed the glass too hard cause next thing i know there was glass in my hand and on the floor. I flinch when she pulls out one of the bigger pieces very aggressively. 

“I’m sorry for what I did to you. I understand why you are so upset and I don't blame you. I deserve it.” I tell her as she takes out the last piece of glass from my hand and arm. She starts to drench my wounds in alcohol  and after she's done she takes the silk cloth and wraps it around my hand and ties it tight. Very tight.

“I’m not upset. I am beyond pissed!” Her voice became louder. “YOU DON'T GET TO YELL AT ME THEN WALK AWAY FROM ME.” 

“ You can’t do t-that to me. You just can’t.” she finishes crying silent tears. I quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her to me. I pick her up off the floor and put her legs on either side of my own. She puts her head to my chest and starts crying even harder. My arms were out of the side of her, unsure if I should be touching her. She lifts her head up to me and she has a pout on her face. She grabs both of my arms and wraps them around herself and puts her head back to my chest. I sign in relief and tighten my arms around her, but not enough to hurt her. I kissed the top of her head and shoved my face in her neck to soothe my nerves. 

I sat there rubbing her back after she started to sniffle and hiccup. We sit that way til I hear a loud growl come from my mate. My eyebrows crease as I lightly pull away from her to get a good look at her. 

“Lily-Jane, when was the last time you ate?” I asked her after hearing another growl from her stomach. 

“I didn't know, almost three days ago.”  she whispers going to lay her head back down on my chest 

“Lily-Jane, what the hell do you mean three days ago!?!” my voice became louder as i pushed her away from me again so she would understand the seriousness of her health. But that might have been the wrong way to do it because her eyes got watery again. 

“Don't yell at me!” she yelled back at me her voice cracked at the end. 

“I’m sorry princess I didn't mean to, I just worry about you.” I apologized. “I’m going to make you some food and we’re gonna talk about this okay?” She gives a small nod but shows no signs of wanting to get up so I picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist as I put my hands under her ass facing downward so I could keep her up without touching her in ways I shouldn't right now. She wraps her hands around my neck and then inhales deeply as I make our way back down to the kitchen. I tried to put her down in a stool at the counter but she didn't want to let go. 

“Beautiful you have to let go, you can't be right here in front of the stove. I won't be able to see properly.” she lifts her head up to me and says, 

“Did you just tell me I have a big head?”

“W-what? N-no I didn't. I would never.” She pulls back from me a little.

“Oh so now I'm a liar?”

“What that is not what i meant it was just that you’re too tall for me to see over your head that’s all.” I tried to defend myself but she was kind of scaring me right now.

She slowly unwraps herself from me and slips to the ground. When she's on the floor I turn around to get some ingredients from the fridge. As I bend down to get some stuff out I feel a light weight on my back. 

“Lily-Jane what are you doing?” I ask as she puts her arms under my arms and across my chest. Her touch feels amazing on my bare skin

“How come you never call me Lily? Everyone else does.” I walked over to the stove and set the eggs,bacon, and sausage next to it.

“Because I'm not everyone else, and that still doesn't answer what you’re doing.”

“ You said my head was too big for you to see over. So i moved to the back”

“I did not say your head was too big, I just said I wouldn't be able to see.”

“Because my big body would be in the way?”

“Lily-Jane, that is not what i said.”

“Okay whatever.” she replied. I scoffed as I set a cup of orange juice on the countertop behind me. I finally managed to get her to come down and drink the juice so I could make her the food faster. I didn’t like the fact that she hasn't eaten for days.

After I finished with the food I set it on a plate and gave it to her. I sat next to her to make sure she ate it all. 

“Lorenzo, this is a lot of food for just one person.”

“You aren’t a person. You’re a wolf. An animal that hasn't eaten in two days. So eat.” she seemed to really think about what I said for a minute. 

“I’m still a person. I’m not just a wolf.” she mumbles. 

“I didn’t mean it like that beautiful. I just mean you need a lot of food to make up for what you haven’t eaten.” I leaned over to place a kiss on her head. She starts eating and it becomes very clear that she hasn't eaten in a while, with her first few bites she kept moaning. I knew I wasn't that good of a chef. With every moan that came out of her mouth it was like a straight shock to my c**k. 

She looked beautiful even while stuffing her face with strawberries and bacon. She did the littlest happy dance every time she ate some fruit. She would wiggle her shoulders and bob her head up, down, and then side to side. I thank the moon goddess for allowing me to be mated to this amazingly strong woman. I don't think I would ever be able to live without her. I've only known her a few hours but I don't want to ever be without her. There was something that was different about her. Something strong and powerful, but I didn't want to ask her and she take it the wrong way and get offended. 

But I really wanted to know. She let out a small hiccup and pushed the plate away from her. I guess she’s done now. I got up and took the plates either to the sink or into the fridge. I turned back to her and extended my hand toward her. 

“Come, I want us to talk. '' She looked at me a little unsure but still took my hand. I grabbed her hand and led her to the living room.
