"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

　　"Hey there, little one," I said, kneeling down to her level. "It's late, you should be sleeping."


　　Lana pouted. "But I can't," she said. "I keep having bad dreams."


　　I came to stand beside her. "What kind of bad dreams?" I asked.


　　Lana's eyes welled up with tears. "I keep dreaming about the bad man who took me," she said.


　　"No one is going to take you honey." I promised her.


　　"It was all a dream sweetheart. No one will hurt you. You know why?" I asked her holding her hand.


　　"Why?" Lana asked me holding my hand tightly.


　　"Because, I won't let them harm you sweetheart." I said.


　　"You promise Mummy?" she asked me, staring into my eyes.


　　I nodded "I promise dear." I said, giving her assurance.


　　"I think this is where we say good night…"


　　"She's pretty shakened up about the dream she had so I want to stay with her to make her feel safe and so she could sleep." I said.
