My Mate Rejected Me

Chapter Twenty Three:

Recap:

"I love you too princess. Come home quick." And then she's gone leaving me alone in a beautiful garden. I sigh as I feel myself slowly waking up.

~END OF DREAM~

"I want her home babe." She says worry clear in her eyes. I nod and agree.

"Me too, but that's not our decision it's in the Moon Goddess's hands now." I kiss her softly and we lay in each others arms. Being each others comfort.

 

Chapter twenty three:

~The King's PoV~

Christian, my mate, a few of the guards, and his second and third in command are sitting around an oval table in a meeting room talking about attack strategies for finishing off Devon's rogue army. 

I notice as I am looking at Christian he has bags under his eyes and a cold look in his eyes. The kind of look you get when your mate has been taken from you. My mate has been taken from me once before and I never want to feel that pain ever again. 

I look at Maria and notice she too has dark circles underneath her eyes. Marianna not being here is taking a toll on everyone, emotionally and physically. I hold Maria's hand under the table and squeeze it a little tighter than I aim to, and I feel a sharp pain in my foot. I look down and see the heel of Maria's shoe slamed down on the top of my foot.

She sends me a sarcastic smile and I send her one back. I chuckle slightly at our antics. I notice her chuckling to and feel a smile form on my face. The only thing that could make this better is if our daughter could be here with us.

'Mighty King I would like to have a word with you please.'  I hear a beautiful voice in my head. I look over at Maria who is now paying attention to Christian and the others again. I stand up and excuse myself from the room. 

"I need to take care of a few things, Maria will you fill me in later please?" I ask her. She gives me a confused look, but nods her head anyway. I leave the room and head to the woods, where no one will hear me.

'Who are you?' I ask myself. 

'You should know my voice by now dear child, I hope to have a conversation with you in private.'

'Yes Goddess. Where do you suggest we have this conversation.' I ask her. I hear he let out a small chuckle. 'I think you should come here my dear.' I am then surrounded by a bright flash of ligh. I put my hands over my eyes to protect them from such harsh light. When I remove my hands I am sitting next to Marianna and the moon goddess.

'Mother what is the reason, for this conversation.' I ask with a look of confusion in my eyes.

"We need you to do something for us, dad." Marianna tells me finally speaking up. I look at her and the moon goddess unsurely and let out a loud sigh. 

"What do I need to do?" I ask. 

"We need you to lie to Christian and the pack." The Moon Goddess says so surely. I look at them taken aback. 

"I can't lie to the people I love the most." I say trying to reason with them. I can tell this is bother Marianna just as much as it is me.

"I know it's going to be hard, daddy please, do this for me." I see it in her eyes, worry. Worry for what exactly is what I want to know.

"what's going on here?" I ask my tone a little more aggravated than intended. I see the Moon Goddess give me a look and I instantly reply.

"All I mean is before I lie to them I need to know why I must lie." I say trying to reason. I see their faces soften. And the next reply I get I am not expecting. 

"It is a matter of life and death." The Moon Goddess says with a lot of emotion in her voice. I look at my daughter and see she has tears running down her face. Then it clicks, if I don't do this for Marianna, she will die.

~MARIA'S POV~

It has been three hours since Mitch has left for whatever he had to take care of. I am now starting to get really worried. I already lost Marianna I don't need to lose him to. 

I get to thinking to the past I have had with him. I thank the Moon Goddess everyday, for giving him back to me. I look up towards the ceiling and wish for him to be here with me. I never want to feel that kind of rejection again, once was enough for me. I smile and get back to helping other pack members get ready for this on coming battle.

~CHRISTIAN'S POV~

I am sitting in the corner of our room, wishing for her to be safe, and healthy. I hear a loud knock on the door and I can tell it's the king wanting to talk. I go over and open the door, I have never seen a more serious expression on his face before. 

"Christian we need to talk." Is all he says before taking a seat on our bed. I slowly follow, and sit down in front of him on a chair in the corner of the room. 

"Marianna's dead, We found her body, on the border. I'm sorry." He says trying to hold in his own tears. I can feel my heart me torn apart. Why did this have to happen now, I just got her back. How am I supposed to deal now. I have three pups without their mother. How are we going to survive without her. I break down in tears and I feel like I'm experiencing an out of body sensation. I look up at the king with a feral look.

"Devon will pay for this, if it's the last thing I do."
