"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.

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

　　I tried to find the right words to say, but my tongue felt tied. Finally, I managed to say, "Hi, Leah. Thank you for inviting me over."


　　She smiled, and I felt my heart skip a beat. "Of course, Ian. Come in, please." she said, stepping aside to let me in.


　　I entered her house, and I was immediately struck by how cozy it felt. It was decorated in warm, earthy tones, and it smelled of cinnamon and apple pie. I felt immediately at ease.


　　"Can I get you something to drink?" Leah asked, leading me to the living room. "Tea? Coffee? Water?"


　　"Water would be great, thanks." I said, taking a seat on the couch.


　　Leah disappeared into the kitchen and returned a few minutes later with two glasses of water. She handed me one and sat down beside me.


　　I took a sip of the water and then looked at her, unsure of how to start the conversation.


　　"I'm guessing you wanted to talk about what happened today." Leah said, breaking the silence.
