Rejecting My Lycan Mate

Book excerpt: "I, Madeline Clark, rejec..." I started speaking, but Alpha Dimitri stopped me by placing his hand over my mouth. He pulled me closer to him and growled. "I'm not accepting your rejection, Madeline," he growled. "You are my mate. You are the greatest gift that the Goddess has ever given me. I am not letting you go." My heart was hammering against my rib cage. His scent overwhelmed my senses. He leaned in and rubbed his nose up and down my jaw. My skin was on fire. Every part of my body desired to be touched by him. "I can't let you go, my love," he mumbled. "I've waited for you my whole life."
