THE LYCAN KING'S REJECT

LOCKED UP

ENZO’S POV-

It was dark, and it has been for a while. It’s pitch black and I just walk on for miles alone.

Where am I? I ask myself. I’ve been walking around in darkness for hours. Where was my mate? Everytime I asked myself that question I would get irritated. If I’m not with her then who is protecting her. What if she’s hurt?

I stop walking seeing as I’m getting nowhere. I took a seat on the ground where I stood. Please let my beautiful baby girl be okay. I prayed to the goddess. She would surely protect her if I can't. Right?

Lorenzo wake up we need you

A strange yet familiar feminine voice says. I look around but still don’t see anyone. I scoff. Is this some kind of joke? I stand back up and take a few steps in another direction, or maybe it was the same. I’m not really sure anymore.

Suddenly I felt a slap of pain go across my face.

“What the hell?” I was more confused than anything. There was still no one here.

Then there was another slap, this time harder, causing me to stumble to the ground.

Shit. That one hurt. I closed my eyes and exhaled. When I open my eyes again I am met with a harsh white light shining in my face. I closed my eyes just as fast as I’d opened them.

“Omg he’s awake, go dim down the lights.” That same feminine voice says.

I opened my eyes again, slowly this time, and took a look around. I see Abby and Ronny on either side of me, but I see my mate nowhere.

“Where is my mate?” I questioned both of them.

“Uhm she-” Ronny was cut off when the Royal doctor came in.

“Oh dear, sorry I didn’t know anyone was in here.” The doctor says with a medical kit in his hand. He takes a step further in and looks at me with wide eyes. “Your highness, I am terribly sorry for coming in like that. I didn’t think you’d be awake yet.” He bowed his head to me.

I didn’t care that he was here though. I might have if things were different right now. So I turned to Ronny and arched a brow at him. He knows I need him to continue.

“Well we kinda had to restrain her.” He looked down and with each word he said his voice got lower till it was only a mere whisper. But then what he says is finally registering.

I'm up fast, slamming my best friend into the wall nearest to the bed I just got out of, I was glad that they had put me in shorts even though i had no shirt. “What do you mean you have to restrain her? Where the hell is she?” I growled deeply at him as my hand was wrapped around his neck. Best friend or not if he had hurt my mate he would be dealt with.

“LORENZO LET HIM GO YOU'RE HURTING HIM!” Abby yelled, but I ignored her. I wanted answers.

“S-she tried to kill us all.” Ronny stuttered.

“You’re lying she would never.” I defended my mate.

“HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE US WE'LL SHOW YOU!” Abby yells again.

I let go of Ronny and he slumped against the hall as I stepped away from him. Abby ran to him and he caught her with open arms. He kissed the top of her head and caressed her. Gross.

I cleared my throat, their affection made me uncomfortable.

“What happened?where is she?” I asked again.

They looked at each other then back at me. Then the doctor spoke up. I actually forgot he was here.

“She’s the reason half of the warriors are in the hospital, your highness.” He says hesitantly.

“Yea, she had to be locked up. She burned the clearing when Victoria tried to kill you. There was a wave of heat and fire that passed over everything including you and Victoria. Victoria died but you just wouldn’t wake up.” Abby says from her mates arms.

“So I was out for a few hours, that doesn’t mean you lock her up!” There was something that didn’t add up.

“Man, you weren’t out for a few hours. You were out for two weeks.” Ronny says.

Two weeks? There was no way. Then he continues.

“She had you in her arms crying when you didn’t wake up. I told the warriors to get you from her so we could get you back to the castle. She did not like that. She-” he stopped mid sentence as If trying to find the right words. “Was on fire. That’s how furious she was, her whole body was in flames. She tried to take you back but we couldn’t allow her too. It wasn’t safe out there. There were rogues in that area and with the king out we had to go back.”

“She kept yelling we couldn’t have you that you were hers. It was like it wasn’t really her.” Abby says. “ Her father sedated her saying that she was only going to get worse. By the time we had arrived at the castle she had woken up again and wanted you. But you were still out cold. She burned the down stairs office, we managed to save you work but everything else was destroyed. She went mad with rage, and she was dangerous so we couldn’t let her near you just in case. She froze y’all bedroom door shut so nobody could ‘try to steal her mates scent.’ Some warriors tried to calm her down and she either burned them or froze a body part. They had to be taken to the hospital and her, to the cells. And let me tell you it wasn’t easy. Her parents both had to sedate her and move her to the cells.”

I couldn’t believe what they were telling me. There was no way my sweet little angel could do all that. She didn’t even like when she was yelled at. But I could feel the intense rage she felt through our mate bond. I needed to see her.

“Take me to her.” I ordered. “NOW.”

We were out the room and at the door to the cells. “She’s in the first cell on the left.” Ronny says. I nodded, opening the door.

“Romannn.” I heard my mate call out. She sounded different though. “I know that’s you. Come open this door so we can talk like civilized adults. All you have to do is open this door and give me my mate and we can all live happily ever after.” Ronny sighs out loud.

“Your highness you know I can’t do that.” He says calmly. And she laughs.

“Just wait, I'll get out of here soon and if he has even one hair missing from his sexy body, I’ll kill you all! Because remind me what it is I told you.” I look at Ronny confused. He looks at me but what he says I know is meant for her.

“Nobody hurts what's yours and lives. yes your highness we know.” When did he start calling her that?

“Now come open this door so I can see him.” She bangs on her cell door.

“I'm sorry your highness, I can’t do that.” He says.

“Roman, I think you should, if you know what’s best for you.” She threatened.

“You go handle her. I’m done.” Ronny says turning around with his mate.

“What? You're gonna send your soldiers to deal with me. That’s very low Roman. I thought we bonded.” She says sarcastically.

I made my way to her unsure of what to expect. I turn the corner and look inside her cell. She has her back turned to me drawing on the black wall across from the door. But that’s not what shook me. No. It was the fact that her cell had snow covering the floor and icicles hanging from the ceiling. Her hair was white so from behind she didn’t look like my mate, but I knew it was her. Though what made me more confused was there was ice and snow everywhere, but my baby girl was on fire. Her whole body was engulfed in blue flames.

“If you didn’t come to let me out then you can just leave the food and go. I’m tired.” She sounded tired too.

“What if I am here to let you out?” At the sound of my voice she froze. She stopped her drawing and let the white pencil she used fall to the ground. She slowly turned around to me. Her glowing red and blue eyes met my plain green ones as I unlocked her cell.

“Y-you’re here. You’re okay.” She says almost in disbelief. Her eyes started to water. I get the door open and she runs to me and jumps in my arms, wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck. I held her up with my hands on her ass. I missed touching her. She was still on fire but it was like my body absorbed her flames and it felt refreshing.

She sobs into my necks and my heart breaks at how much pain she feels. I rub her back trying to calm her down. After a couple minutes she stops crying and pulls back to look me in the eyes. I watched amazed as her white hair turned back to a silky black and her eyes stopped glowing. They were still a lively red and blue, they just weren’t glowing anymore.

“I missed you baby girl” I leaned in and captured her lips in mine. She tasted like sweet lemon and tears. And now would be the perfect time to tell her. “ I love you, Lily-Jane.” She looked at me in surprise. “I have loved you since the moment I found you in the woods. I love you even though you almost killed my warriors. I loved you even more seeing you kill our enemies. I love that you are a little psycho-”

“I am not.” She pouted.

I chuckled at her. “Yes, you are ,baby girl and I love it. I love you and want you to bear my pups and be my queen.”

“I love you too, Enzo. I’d love to have a few princes and princesses with you. I’d love to be your queen.” I kissed her again but pulled back.

“How about we get started on making a little princess right now?” I whispered in her ear. I placed a kiss right under her ear making her shudder and making me rock hard.

She nodded her head shyly and kissed my cheek as I jogged out the basement with her still in my arms.
