"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.

***
In a world of werewolves and secrets, Leah conceals her pregnancy from everyone, even her mate, the popular and handsome Aiden. 
When she discovers her true mate is Ian, the heir to the powerful Silver Pack, their lives entwine in unexpected ways. 
Aiden's betrayal, Clara's support, and a three-year absence shape Leah's strength as a single mother.
As Ian reenters her life, can he prove himself worthy of her love, and will their bond survive the challenges of pack politics and lingering secrets?

The Alpha's Pregnant Mate

　　Ian must have sensed my hesitation, because he spoke again. "Is everything okay, Leah?" he asked, his voice full of concern.


　　I took a deep breath and decided to be honest. "I was just thinking about last night, and how... how things happened." I said, my voice faltering a bit.


　　"What do you mean?" he asked, his tone curious.


　　I took another deep breath and decided to just say it. "I was wondering if we could spend the night together again." I said, my heart pounding in my chest.


　　There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and I felt my heart sink. Had I said something wrong? Had I overstepped a boundary? I was about to apologize when Ian spoke.


　　"I'd like that very much." He said, his voice soft and warm. "When would you like to do that?"


　　I felt a wave of relief wash over me, and I smiled. "How about this weekend?" I asked.


　　"Great," I said. "Do you want to meet at my place or yours?"
