Reject Me Again, My Alpha
Chapter 90

The next morning, we woke up to a beautiful sunny day. Everything was still tense. I went out and found Devon. He was standing outside the house across from the one we were in, pacing looking worried. ” You OK ? ” I asked, walking up to him. He looked up and shook his head. ” No I’m not. I’ve heard her crying most of the night and I have been out here thinking my hardest about what I should do. I think she finally passed out about an hour ago “. He looked up at the window , she must be in.

” I’m going to say this in the nicest possible way I can think of Brother. Because I know you first hand from experience, you will do it for me. But get your f*****g head out of your a*s. The spell was dropped , she is your mate and she f*****g needs you. Pull your s**t together before she rejects your mating or something. She needs you more now than she ever will , and if you aren’t there for her. That is something you’re never going to get over. You’ll be eaten alive by guilt and she won’t trust you to be there for her. If you don’t think you can do it , then break the mating, set her free. But I know that isn’t what you want. You’ve been looking forward to having your soul mate since we were boys ” I tell him.

He looks at me , like I had slapped him at the prospect of breaking the mating. He looks back up at the window, then back at me. ” What do I do ? I may have already f****d it up too much ” I had never seen my over-confident , cocky friend look so lost. ” Go get in bed with her , wrap her in your arms and let her grieve her brother with the support of her mate ” he took a deep breath and looked at me. ” What if it is all still a spell and she isn’t acually my mate ? ” he asked terrified.

” What if she is and you being an a*s ruins it ? Would you rather heal your broken heart because she isn’t your actual current mate and your real one is out there somewhere still? Or would you rather suffer the loss of losing your actual mate and you didn’t get another one ? ” I saw the minute he knew I was right. ” f**k I’ve been an a*****e ” he muttered, and rushed off into the house. Smiling at his retreating back, I just hope that now my friend will be as happy as I am.

” Enzo, can I have a minute of your time ? “I looked around and saw Rykens’s sister heading towards me. Rhiala was looking around confused. ” Yea sure ” I told her. When she got closer , she was still looking around at all of the people that walked past us. ” Are you OK ? “she looked at me and shook her head. ” No, not really since landing here yesterday I have had this funny feeling , like a pull towards something. Or someone ” she muttered. Crossing my arms over my chest , I felt my forehead crease. ” Like a mate bond pull ? “she looks back at me and shrugs. “Who knows maybe , but I have walked around the entire pack and I haven’t bumped into anyone who is my mate . Is there anyone else here somewhere ? ” she asked.

” No , everyone here is around. Maybe you just keep missing him “, I tell her and she smiles at me and shakes her head. ” Not him, I know my mate will be female. I have known I like females since I was just a child. And no , it is like I can sense them smell them , but it is only vague. If they had just walked by, the pull would be stronger. I felt it the most over near on the west side. I saw a door that was padlocked shut with a code. What is that door ? ” I frowned at her. ” That door is to the deep cells , underground where magic can’t get in or out. So the people kept down there can not just zip themselves free. There are some females down there. They were warlocks , one of them being Yianna’s twin sister. But she stole all of their magic, so they are human technically now. They’re receiving medical care, they have been under a spell for years to keep them living , but dead more or less. Used to channel their magic, like they were nothing but a tap when needed “.

She looked back in that direction. ” It could be nothing, I mean it could be though. I have no idea what this feeling is. But do you think I could just go take a look down there? Just to , well, just to get rid of this feeling. There’s a lot of magic around here , maybe I am just picking up on that ” she shrugs. Looking back at the house where Anthea was. I linked her to tell her where we were going. She linked back to say she would just be a second. ” Sure , we were going to go check in on the women down there anyway. Get them up to speed with what’s happening. So dragons can sense magic ? “I asked her and she nodded. ” Yea , we can. But it’s nothing fancy. We can just sense a magic user. Which is why I was surprised when Ryken told us what happened to him. He had gone to visit the council , we had word that they had located some more dragons. They wanted to give the location to him personally. Just to be safe. Ryken wants to replace any that are left. Re populate us and all of that. Obviously, me being into girls leaves one female out of the mix in our little thunder. We have discussed me and Tilly-anne surrogating. But we could only help so much. We both have hopes for our own mates , so we have been looking. Even for mixed mating like my brother and his new mate. When they have babies, then there is hope they will be dragons ” she smiles sadly.

” What happened to your family ? That’s if you don’t mind me asking you ? “the door opened behind us and Anthea came walking out. ” I don’t mind , it was a long time ago. Shall we walk while I talk ? “she smiled at me and wished Anthea a good morning. We got to walking when she told us. ” Our mother and father were the best , so in love. Their treasures meant nothing compared to one or the other. We were all children when it happened. We grew up together. Our parents were life-long friends. Even then, we were not a big thunder , like we said. Dragons like solitude , so even though my family are royalty, all of their subjects did not live with us. They were scattered across the world , just came and visited one in a while. Safer in smaller groups. My parents got word that one of the other groups had been discovered and was under attack. We call them dragon slayers , medical humans if you would believe. We were used to be trophies and war weapons. No matter how big and powerful we are , they were relentless. But they were just mere humans. They would catch the odd dragon back then , but something changed. They got stronger , they carried daggers and swords that, with a single strike, could weaken us to near death. They stopped using us as trophies. All they cared for was our death. This new breed of them , they found us easily. We believe they had something dark on their side but we still have yet to replace what. Anyway , our parents went to help the group under attack. And none of them came back. Dragons went into hiding. And we haven’t heard of any jacked up dragon slayers in years. Like they just died off. But now our enemy is the paranormal, we are now hunted by our own kind as weapons again. Or our hoard , the myths of dragons and liking treasures are not wrong. We all have our own hoards stashed , we are obsessive over it. We inherited all of our parents’ hoards when they didn’t come back. Not very dragon like , but I think we would give it all up just to have them back . But anyway, like Firya , she would have chosen my brother for what he was, not who he was. I have no doubt ” she finished off with , I felt Antheas’ empathy for them through our link. She flung herself around and threw her arms around the dragon and hugged her tightly.

Rhiala was a little taken back at first , but slowly her arms came around her and hugged Anthea. When they broke apart, the mood was a little solemn. But we were near the cells. Opening the door, we made our way down and I watched as Rhiala’s eyes widened. ” I can smell her ” she said in a rush. She practically vibrated as we led her down and into the cell with all of the warlock women in it. They all looked at her funny as she marched around them all. ” She isn’t in here ” she said speeding out of the room. So me and Anthea followed her. She headed down to the end cells , and I really hoped she didn’t replace what she was scenting in any of those ones. She stopped outside Tiffany and her family’s cell and she froze. It was like she stopped breathing. As we neared, Tiffay was at the cell door , looking back at Rhiala like a deer in the headlights. ” No ” Tiffany gasped. I saw Rhiala’s flinch of pain. ” Tiffany whats happening ? “I heard her father ask from behind her. She was slowly shaking her head back and forth as she stepped away. ” Nothing , nothing happening ” she said. Rhiala stepped forward to the window in the door. ” Nothing ? “she sneered at Tiffany.

Tiffany turned her back to her and Rhiala banged her hand on the door. ” I am not nothing , I am your mate. I am dragon royalty and you will not shun me that way. You do not treat a mate that way. You’re my treasure and, by the gods, you will not reject me ” she told Tiffany. Tiffany turned and looked at her with a mocking glare. ” Is that supposed to impress me , it dosen’t I was meant to be next Luna to this pack until that b***h there stole my place. And became all high and mighty , the gods know how, because why would anyone choose her to be anything? You are not even my type ” she huffed. Rhiala looked at us two , and back to her mate. “Why is she in here ? “she asked me and I rubbed the back of my head. All we needed was more mating drama when we had just hopefully solved one. ” That is a long story ” I told her. Rhiala looked back at her mate through the door, her eyes narrowing. ” Tell me it all , if you will please “, we moved out of the way of ear shot to tell her. Rhiala stood and listened to the whole story , and when we were done she was quiet for a minute. ” So what you are telling me is my mate is a spoiled entitled brat ? ” she asked and she had really just summed Tiffany up in one, so I agreed. She crossed her arms and huffed ” Leave her down there until this mess is over , then if I have to I will grab her with my dragon claw and fly her out of here to my hoard where I will keep her until she gets off of her high, entitled horse . I am sorry for how disrespectful my mate is towards you both. I can only assume the fates placed me with her to bring her back to sanity and back down to earth “. Now the image of that was one I would like to see.
