Chapter 287

EMILY

The stranger-Axel-is cold and indifferent.

His expression is harsh and unforgiving as he stares at me.

Could my wolf be wrong?

How can this man be our mate?

He stands before me, unfeeling and unsympathetic, like a statue of ice.

“I told you not to say it,” he growls at me, and I want to run from him, but he’s holding my arm in a bruising grip.

“I-I’m sorry,” I stutter out, wishing I could take it back.

“Since you’re so insistent on knowing,” he says, tone cutting and caustic. “Yes, it does seem like you’re my mate. But I do not accept it. I do not accept you.”

I flinch and feel myself shrinking.

Of course he doesn’t accept it.

Or me.

I’m damaged goods.

I spent ten years being locked up.

And even though no one knows my secret, I’m dangerous, broken and unlovable.

“Are you rejecting me?” I whisper, and already I can feel the pain of our mate bond tearing jaggedly apart.

“Yes, Emily. I reject you.”

The ache turns into a sharp shot of pain like an elastic pulled too tight and suddenly snapped.
