The Rejected Mate novel Chapter 18

D A M I E N

××××××××××

Matthew remains silent for a few moments, eyeing my actions and this makes me more agitated and angry, at this point my whole body was shaking with unleashed fury.

He speaks up after a few moments of silence

"Serenity is Roman's Daughter"

I growl throatily when I hear that, I never knew that bastard had a child and even worse for the child to be my mate, the only thing about him that I was aware of was about his mate passing away roughly around 21 yrs ago. Although Serenity is his daughter that wouldn't stop me from making her mine. My eyes flash black as my wolf, Kian agrees with me.

(A/N: I don't know if I have mentioned early, but Damiens wolf's name is Kian and Matthew's is Dom)

I'm about to respond to Matthew when the office room slams open and I lift my furious eyes to meet Courtney's anxious eyes.

"Serenity is awake"she says and that single sentence was what took for me to dismiss the meeting and rush into the pack infirmary.

White is what I first see when I open my eyes, I immediately shut them and blink a few times so it would get accustomed to the harsh lighting of the room. I groan in pain as I try to sit up on the bed.

Where in the world am I ? I think to myself.

Smell of disinfectant and chemicals burn my nostrils as I realise that I'm in the pack infirmary. It's only now that I feel the needle inside the skin on top of my hand connected to a upside down bottle on a stand and IV and the constant beeping of the heart monitor. I press the red emergency button and few minutes later the door to my room opens and a man with stethoscope around his neck who I recall as Dr. Dave Santiago the pack doctor accompanied by my worried bestfriend Courtney enters.

Courtney rushes towards me with worry written all over her face, the first thing she does when she reaches my side is to punch my arm.

"Owwww Courtney!!, What the hell?" I yell in pain as I bring my arm to my chest to nurse it.

"You deserved it bitch" she yells back

I would've been okay if she would've punched lightly but mind you we are talking about Courtney here, who looks like a slim, petite girl but she punches like a boxer high on adrenaline.

"Why would you do that?" I ask her with a pout.

She narrows her eyes at me and it makes me shrink back into my bed, Courtney has a really good 'mean face' which is sure to make you piss your pants. "Oh well it's wasn't me who decided to play a damn heroine and risk her life for the whole pack, now am I?".

I smile at her sheepishly in reply to her question although I know it was not a question at all in the first place. I know I would do it again if I have to, I couldn't risk the life of these innocent people just for the sake of mine

Dave, who has been silent the whole time decides to interrupt us. "okay ladies, now how about I ask the patient a few questions?" He says with a smile on his face.
