"I can't deal with your games anymore. Tell me the truth about Caroline," I asked.
To my surprise, Aiden's reaction was nothing like I expected. His face contorted with a cold, bitter laugh. 
"Oh, please. You think you're worth my time? You're just a nobody, and I'm not going to make our thing public. You're just a convenient little toy for me to use,"
I took a deep breath, mustering all the strength I had left, and decided to play it cool. I needed to catch him off guard and show him that I was not going to be just another pawn in his twisted games.
"Is that how you see me, Aiden? Just a damn toy? Well, I've had enough of your games,"
Aiden looked taken aback, clearly not expecting this reaction from me. I could see the anger and frustration in his eyes, but I refused to back down.
"I reject you as my mate, Aiden," I continued, my voice firm and resolute.

The Alpha's Pregnant Mate

　　"I appreciate that, more than you know," I said, feeling a deep sense of gratitude for Ian's friendship. "It's comforting to know that I have someone in my corner, someone who cares about me and wants to see me succeed. I can't tell you how much that means to me."


　　"I'm glad to hear that," Ian said, his tone full of understanding and compassion. "I want you to know that you can come to me with anything, no matter how big or small. I'll always be there for you."


　　"That's so reassuring to hear," I said, my voice full of emotion. "It's not easy for me to open up to people, but I feel like I can be myself around you.


　　I feel comfortable sharing things with you that I wouldn't share with anyone else. It's like we have a special connection."
