"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

　　But I also knew that I couldn't abandon my duty to the pack. It was a difficult and impossible situation.


　　When I got back to my apartment, I sat down on the couch and took a deep breath. 


　　I felt tired and overwhelmed. I needed to clear my head and try to figure out what to do.


　　I closed my eyes, trying to block out all the noise and chaos of the world and focus on what was in my heart. And as I did, one thought kept coming back to me, clear and strong: I love Leah. 


　　She is the one I want to be with, more than anything else. And I know that I have to find a way to make that happen, no matter what.


　　As that thought solidified in my mind, I felt a sense of clarity and determination. I knew what I had to do. I had to talk to my Louisa again and try to explain my feelings and my decision. 


　　Hoping that she would understand and trust my decision.


　　So I took my phone and dialed her number.


　　The phone rang a few times, and then I heard her voice.
