"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

　　A smile broke out on his face. "Really?" he asked, his voice filled with hope.


　　"Yes," I said, returning his smile. "But just remember, it's going to take time. And I'm not going to just forget about everything that's happened.


　　"I know," he said, nodding. "And I wouldn't expect you to. I'm willing to work for it, to earn your trust. I just want the chance to show you that I'm the man you deserve,"


　　I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I knew that this wasn't going to be easy, that there would be challenges ahead. But I also knew that if we could get through them, we would have something truly special.


　　"No, thank you," he said. "For giving me this chance. I promise I won't let you down,"


　　We stood there for a moment, just looking at each other. I could see the love and hope in his eyes, and I knew that I had made the right decision.


　　Finally, he spoke again. "So, does this mean we can start over?" he asked. "Fresh start?"
