Dimitriâs POV
I had a huge smile on my face.
I was holding the envelope that proved Savannahâs pup wasnât mine and I felt like I was going to explode with happiness.
I was right all along! The pup wasnât mine!
âI canât believe that you had to wait almost three months for the results to come,â Will sighed, shaking his head.
âI donât give a crap, Will,â I said, placing the envelope on the desk. âThe results are here and thatâs all that matters. The pup isnât mine. I can finally tell her to fuck off.â
Will chuckled and shook his head.
âYou told her that multiple times already,â he said, making me roll my eyes.
âYes, but now she canât hurt me no matter what she does,â I said, smiling again. âEven if she goes against my command and tells someone, her lie canât hurt me. I have proof that pup isnât mine.â
I opened the envelope and looked at the results again. I smiled brightly.
âWill you go sleep with Maddie again tonight?â Will asked me.
I looked up at him and nodded.
âI need to,â I said. âI miss her too much.â
I wasnât sleeping in her room for the last few nights because we had a rogue problem on our borders. I practically never even left my office. I hadnât even seen Maddie in a few days and I was losing it a little. My heart wouldnât be able to go through another night without her.
I gulped and clenched my fists. I pictured myself laying next to her. I pictured her turning toward me and leaning her head on my shoulder. I pictured placing a small kiss on her forehead. I pictured myself breathing in her intoxicating scent.
I missed all of that so fucking much and I couldnât wait to go to her tonight.
âItâs a peaceful night at the border,â Will said, making me look back up at him. âYou definitely need to go to her. You almost bit Peterâs head off earlier today.â
I sighed and gave him a small nod.
Peter was the head of my patrol and I was furious at him because none of my wolves managed to capture the rogues that were causing issues at my border. They kept attacking my wolves and pulling back. They never tried to cross the border, but they were always present there. I wanted to capture one of them and torture the answers out of them.
But most of my frustration came from not seeing my mate for a few days. I missed her like crazy and I needed to spend some time with her before I really bit someoneâs head off.
âIs Savannah coming?â Will asked, smirking a little.
âYes,â I nodded. âMy mother is coming too. I wanted to tell them as soon as possible.â
I couldnât wait to see the look on Savannahâs face when I showed her the paper. I was a bit sad because I knew that my mother would be disappointed, but I would give her a grandchild as soon as Maddie wanted to have children.
I could hear them approaching my office and I couldnât help but grin widely.
âI canât wait to see the look on Savannahâs face,â Will mumbled quietly.
I looked at him and smirked.
âIt will be priceless,â I said just as the door opened and my mother and Savannah walked inside.
Savannahâs belly was huge. She was only about a month away from giving birth.
âI have wonderful news!â I exclaimed as soon as they walked inside.
Savannah smiled brightly. My mother narrowed her eyes at me.
âDid the test results arrive?â Savannah asked excitedly. âDid you finally see that I am telling the truth?â
I grinned and my heart skipped a beat. I was so fucking happy.
âThe results arrived,â I confirmed. âAnd they proved that I was telling the truth the whole time. The pup isnât mine.â
Savannahâs eyes widened. My mother growled quietly.
I opened the desk drawer and handed the copy of the results to Savannah.
âI am sorry that your pup will be fatherless,â I said. âBut maybe you could still talk to the real father and ask him if he would like to be involved.â
I hated Savannah, but her pup was innocent. He or she deserved at least one decent parent. I didnât know who the father was, but I hoped it was someone who would take good care of his child.
Savannah sobbed and looked down at the paper I gave her.
I looked at my mother and expected to see the sadness on her face. The anger I saw surprised me. What surprised me more was that she wasnât angry at Savannah. She was angry at me.
âDid you fake the test results because of your mate?â my mom asked angrily. âWhy would you do this to Savannah, Dimitri? I raised you better than that.â
My eyes widened and anger exploded inside me. What the fuck was she talking about?!
Does she know about Maddie? Will mind-linked me and I could hear worry in his voice.
I didnât answer him. I couldnât.
âWhat the fuck are you talking about, mother?â I growled. âWhat mate?â
âYou found your fated mate, didnât you?â Savannah sobbed. âI knew you did when that doctor took the sample a few months ago and you talked about her like you already knew who she was. You found her and you faked the results.â
My heart stopped beating. I fucked up.
âI havenât found her,â I said, trying to remain calm. âI spoke about her like that because I was pissed that you tried to take me away from her. I didnât even get a chance to find my mate and you thought that you could trick me into making you my Luna.â
Will growled quietly. I clenched my fists. I wanted to punch her so fucking bad.
âGet the fuck out of my office,â I growled. âAs soon as you give birth, you will be exiled from the pack. I wonât tolerate this kind of behavior.â
Savannahâs eyes widened.
âDimitri!â my mother scolded me. âYou can do that! This is the mother of yoâ¦â
âDo not finish that sentence!â I shouted as I slammed my fists on the desk. âGet the fuck out both of you!â
I was enraged. I had to try so fucking hard to keep Skol from coming to the surface and ripping them both to pieces.
My mother took Savannahâs hand in hers and started pulling her out of my office. Savannah was sobbing uncontrollably.
âYou really need to go see Maddie,â Will said quietly as soon as my mother closed the door. âYou are losing it.â
He was right. I needed my princess and I needed her right the fuck now.
