The Rejected Mate
chapter 25 : my angels

My voice sounds more deeper, meaning that Killian is in control. My eyes flash black as I take deepbreaths in to calm myself. I feel my eyes going back to their normal color.

I retract my hands from her throat and from the death grip I had on her wrists.

"Geez, remind me never to do that again” she rolls her eyes as she speaks.

"I wouldn't keep you alive if you pull a stunt like that again” A dark smirk crosses my featuresknowing that I got my point across.

"Now where were we before you decide to choke me?" She asks sarcastically ignoring my lastwords.

"I want you to cast a protection spell on m Serenity" I state, now serious.

"And where do I replace the source? Where do you expect me to channel the power to cast such apowerful spell?” she asks me with her face scrunched in confusion.

"You will channel it from me" I say without a hesitation in my voice, I knew what I had to do and Iwas ready to risk it. After all it was worth it in the end.

Kaya's eyes snap towards mine and she looks at me with an unknown emotion in her eyes.

"You know that is a huge risk on your part, right? it can weaken you maybe even take your life if itdrawn too much of your power!" She asks me incredulously with that same unknown emotionswimming I her dark eyes, which I couldn't place a name.

"I'm aware Kaya, I'm no fool" I reply keeping my eyes on hers showing that I'm completely serious.She shakes her head at me and says something along the line of 'young love’ under her breath, Icouldn't be too sure.

"As you wish Alpha" she motions towards herself, asking me to stand before her.

I'm skeptical at first then I see it. The wooden bowl like things in which she was pouring some darkpotion and crushed herbs, muttering some spell under her breath.

Standinv before her she motions me to bring my right arm towards her and I do as asked, taking mywrist in her hand she brings a sharp blade forward. she looks at me for permission and I nod myhead in reply.

She bring my hand above the wooden bowl and slowly glides the sharp blade on my skin, causing itto pierce into my skin and dark blood to immediately ooze out of it.

It doesn't hurt, this is nothing compared to the things that caused the scars I have on my body. Thiswound would heal in no time.

She cleans my wrist with a damp cloth and cleans the sharp edge of the blade as well. I watch as myblood mixes with the other ingredients on the bowl, turning into a dark red color of my blood.Kaya mutters another spell, and mixes the potion again and I watch as the ingredients in the bow!starts to glow a green color, meaning that the spell worked. Just then, I feel a pang in my heartmaking me realize now that it's finally done, and relief to flood through my veins as I heave a sigh."It's done" She declares and looks at me.

"I know what you need Kaya, you need my protection against Roman and the bunch of rogues he'scontrolling. I will protect you as long as you keep your end of the bargain, if anything happens toher or the spell breaks, then Roman would be the least of your worries because I wouldn't hesitatesto snap you neck in two" I say knowingly with a hint of warning again in my voice as I speak the lastsentence.

Kaya rolls her eyes and nods her head.

"Thankyou" I say genuinely and she looks shocked for a second, everyone knows that I don'tindulge in pleasantries and common curtsies.

"Good luck” she replies and looks yet again with than unknown look her eyes.

Turning towards the entrance of the cave, I transform into my big black wolf form, looking back atKaya to replace her looking at my wolf in awe, I nod my head in acknowledgment and takeoff towardsthe pack house.

As soon I reach the pack house I walk towards the side towards where all the windows weresituated. Climbing with help of the pipes and my werewolf reflexes I immediately climb towards thewindow situated at the second floor, leading towards a certain room I had made a practice ofclimbing at this time of the night.

Don't ask me why I don't use the door instead, I just made this a habit and it's easier to reach, sinceI don't have to walk across the rooms of all the other pack members and hear them do things Ipreferred not to.

Slowly pulling the window, I realise that it's unlocked which works in my favour. Climbing into thefamiliar room I replace the small crib placed in the middle of the room. Toys are spread all around theroom, when I peek into the crib my heart halts it's beating when I don't replace the tiny body I usuallydid, I only replace some soft toys and pillows.

I start panicking when I don't replace him, a movement towards my right catches my attention, I sigh inrelief when I take in the scene before me.

On the bean bag I replace Serenity holding Elijah in her arms, his tiny hand circling around her as shehas a hand wrapped protectively around his back. The scene before me melts my heart.

Talking cautious steps towards them, carefully not to make any noise that I don't wake any of themfrom their peaceful slumber.

I place a kiss on Elijah’s forehead. I move towards Serenity, moving the stray hair from her face andtucking it behind her ear.

I place a kiss on her forehead as well and moveaway, I manage to catch the small unconscious smilethat takes over her face when she felt my touch.

"Goodnight my Angels” I say in a low whisper and leave the room just like I came in, possibly for arun.
