"Mr Malhotra!" Manik heard the door being banged by her.
"Open the door!" she yelled again
He wiped his tears and opened the door "What?!" he barked harshly
"REJECT ME" she said and he stopped breathing
"Sorry?" he grasp
"Reject me now" she said with feisty anger
Manik looked at her trying to breath
"Do it! How do you do it? Do it now!" she said pushing him in and getting in his office
"I ca... can't..." Manik foud his voice
"The person who attacked you, I need to find him..." He added
"Find him how much ever you want, it doesn't concerns me. I want to leave, so reject me and I will leave this place forever." she said in anger
"You can leave!" Manik snapped.
"I mean, I will need you find this person. If I reject you, that person would never attack me, because he couldn't attack me. But he attacked you, he knows you are my mate so he will attack again, I need you..."
"As a bait?" she completed his sentence. His heart broke as she looked at him with hurt, disappointment, and anger. His wolves scurried away seeing that look
"Yes" she said with get difficulty
"And they say you love me!" she yelled at him in disappointment his inners flinch
"Reject me! Reject me! Reject me!" she said pushing him again and again and again saying those words
He looked at her with tears
"Stop" he mumbled but Nandini asked for the rejection again
"I said stop!" he held her hands
"I won't reject you, till I get what I want" he said and she looked at him with pain. Tears rolled down her cheek. She pushed him away and left running away from him. Manik kept looking at her running away from him.

Neyonika walked in Manik's office, he was standing looking at the pool.
"Why did you do that to her?" she asked and Manik didn't turn
"I saw her cry Manik, woh chata sa Yuvaan nahi chata woh roye aur tu yaha chup chap khada hai!" she said but he didn't answer
"You are Alpha King, do you doubt yourself? Do you think you cannot protect her?" she asked
"Yes" he said and turned to her and Neyonika went quite
"I will try my best, I will try my best to protect her always, but maybe one day, maybe one time, I miss it and she dies, the?" he asked his mother
"You know" he turned to her "You know how I was when I Nanhi died" he said and Neyonika grasp. That was one dark night
"I was a kid, a kid who thought she was my mate. Losing the girl I THOUGHT was my mate because of my mistake was painful, how do you think losing the girl I KNOW is my mate because of my mistake will be?" he asked
"You were a kid" Neyonika tried to say
"I kid who she protected will all her might, a kid who is responsible for her death, her family's death, her town's death!" Manik yelled and Neyonika flinched
"You are hurting her" Neyonika mumbled
"She is better hurt than dead " he turned away from his mother
