ALEXIS'S POVThe first thing I heard was the steady beeping of machines. Rhythmic and annoying machines. My eyelids felt like they had been glued shut. I forced them open, blinking my eyes slowly to adjust to the harsh white lights above me.A hospital room.I turned my head slowly, still feeling fuzzy and disoriented. A tall, handsome stranger leaned against the wall near the window, his arms were folded across his broad chest. He looked powerful in an expensive black shirt, he stood there watching me with calm but intense eyes. The same man I vaguely remembered from the roadside before everything went dark.Then seated right beside my bed, holding my hand tightly, was my mother. The moment her eyes met mine, she broke into a stream of tears.“Alexis… my baby!” she cried, kissing the back of my hand repeatedly. “Thank the goddess you’re awake. I was so scared.”I tried to speak but my throat felt dry, everything still felt like a dream to me. I looked around again, trying to piece

ALEXIS’S POV“Alexis!” Dyson’s voice filled with panic as he reached me first. He dropped to his knees beside me, his face had gone pale with fear and for the first time in months, I saw real terror in his eyes. “Oh my God… Alexis! Stay with me. What happened?!”He tried to lift me, but his hands were shaking as they touched my blood-soaked body. “Breathe, baby. Just breathe. I’m here. I’m right here.”Tears rolled down my cheeks. In that moment, despite everything, I still felt an ounce of hope in my heart, he came for me, he finally chose me. He still cared about me. I weakly reached out and grabbed onto his shirt with my bloody fingers.“Dyson…” I whispered hoarsely. “The baby… please… help our baby…”His pupils widened with fear as he looked at the blood. For one beautiful second, I believed he would stay. That the mate bond wouldn’t win this time.Then a loud scream ran through the mansion.“Ahhhhh! My hand! The baby!”Mandy stood near the kitchen entrance with a kitchen knife in

ALEXIS'S POVMy days in the house became one long, painful haze. I was drowning in exhaustion, both body and soul. At this point I was a stranger to sleep. Every night I lay in our big cold bed alone, listening to the distant murmurs and laughter coming from the other wing where Dyson now spent most of his time with Mandy. My pregnancy symptoms had grown worse under the constant stress. My back hurt constantly, my legs were swollen, and dizzy spells came without warning. Still, I kept moving. I kept trying.This morning was no different.I dragged myself out of bed at dawn, my head started spinning as I stood up. Black spots clouded my sight, but I held onto the wall until they cleared out. Dyson hadn’t come to bed again last night. The sheets on his side remained untouched and cold. I placed a trembling hand on my heavy belly, feeling the baby move weakly.“I’m sorry,” I whispered. “Mommy’s trying.”I made my way to the kitchen like every other morning. My hands moved on autopilot

ALEXIS'S POVThe days that followed after Mandy’s arrival were a series of nightmares I couldn’t wake up from.Mandy moved into the mansion the very next morning and within hours, the entire atmosphere changed. Helena and the sisters treated her like a precious jewel that had finally been delivered to them.They laughed with her, hugged her, and showered her with compliments. Meanwhile, I became even more invisible.The first thing Helena did that morning was lead Mandy into the dining room with a smile I had never once received from her in three years.“Sit here, sweetheart,” she said warmly while pulling out a chair for Mandy herself. “You shouldn’t be stressing yourself in your condition.”Clarissa immediately pushed the juice closer to Mandy. “Do you want oranges or cranberries? The baby might prefer one.”“Oh my God,” Olivia gasped dramatically. “She’s literally glowing. Brother’s real mate is actually so pretty.”Denise smirked at me over her cup. “Not everyone can relate.”Mand

ALEXIS Dyson had his hand gently placed on her lower back, guiding her inside like she belonged here. The entire table went silent for a second before Helena rose with a bright, genuine smile I had never seen her give me.“Dyson, my son! You finally brought her,” Helena said warmly.I couldn’t breathe, my hands started shaking under the table as I stared at the woman. Who was she? Why was she here on our anniversary?Dyson cleared his throat, his expression was calm, almost… happy.“Everyone, I want you to meet Mandy Delray,” he announced steadily. “My fated mate. The mate bond snapped into place a few weeks ago and as you can see… she’s carrying my child.”At that moment his words became a truck that hit my head hard.Fated mate.Pregnant with his child.The room erupted in joy. Helena clapped her hands together, beaming with pride. Clarissa, Denise, and Olivia rushed to hug Mandy, laughing and congratulating her like she was some kind of queen. While Mandy gave me a pitiful look.“

ALEXIS'S POVI woke up before the first light of dawn crept into the sky, my lower back was already screaming in protest. At seven months pregnant, every time I moved, it felt like I was doing a chore, but I still forced myself out of bed. At this time everyone else was still asleep.I rubbed my swollen belly gently, feeling the baby kick lightly as I slipped into one of my oversized maternity dresses. The fabric stretched across my body, reminding me of how much I had changed. I used to be slim and graceful even for a low-ranking Omega. Now I was plus-sized, heavy, and slow. But it was worth it. I would do anything for Dyson and our family.“I know, baby,” I murmured softly to my stomach. “Mama’s trying.”Another kick touched my palm and despite everything, I smiled slightly.I made my way downstairs to the massive kitchen and started preparing breakfast like I did every morning. Eggs, bacon, fresh toast, pancakes, and fruit platters for the entire Lecrae family. My hands moved sw
