My Rejecting Mate Now Begs for My Forgiveness

Looking at the man in front of me, I felt like I was looking at a total stranger.Whenever it came to Stella, he completely lost his mind.I asked him, my voice hollow with despair."Then what do you want me to say?""My mate is abandoning me and our pup to be another woman's husband and another pup's father. Do you expect me to sit nicely, clap my hands, and cheer for you?"Caleb paused. A flash of pity and guilt crossed his eyes.But in the end, he just said flatly."Stella is different from you. She only has me. She can't handle the rumors of having a pup out of wedlock!""Just wait a little longer. After Stella gives birth, I will marry you!"With that, he ordered his men to take me back to our house, marching me out like a prisoner.I sat blankly on the sofa until late at night when Caleb finally returned.Seeing me, he sighed, casually picked up a blanket, and draped it over my shoulders."You still don't know how to take care of yourself.""You're pregnant. What if you catch a c

Before anyone could even blink, he threw a punch straight into the skull of the guard holding me down.The guard didn't even have time to scream before he was launched across the room like a broken kite, smashing through the concrete wall.In the next second, Julian carefully scooped my weak body off the table, holding me securely against his chest."Your brother is late."The moment I saw my brother, all the fear and grievance I had been holding back finally broke. Tears poured down my face."Catalina, don't worry. Everyone who touched you today is going to pay," Julian’s voice was as cold as ice.The killing intent in his eyes was almost physical. The suffocating aura of the Alpha King dropped the temperature in the room to freezing.I weakly gripped his shirt."Brother, I just want to leave.""I never want to see Caleb again. Just let him think... let him think the pup is gone."I wanted to sever this mate bond entirely.I wanted him to live in the shadow of this loss forever. Juli

Catalina's POVFor the first month back in my real home, I still had nightmares about being forced onto that healing table.Or sometimes, I dreamed of Caleb's cold face.But that only lasted a month.In the Alpha King’s estate, there were no eye-rolls or disrespect from the Shadow Pack, no condescending, pity-like love from Caleb, and no toxic rumors.Here, I was a princess, held in the palm of the Royal Pack's hand.Under the meticulous care of my brother Julian and my family, my battered body received the best treatment. The bottomless wound in my heart slowly scabbed over and healed in their warmth. Besides that, my personal guard, Darius, was always by my side, like a silent and steady shadow.He was a tall, stoic wolf who rarely spoke, always keeping a straight face. Yet, every morning, without fail, he would leave a fresh bouquet of dewy roses by my bedside.When my pregnancy symptoms kept me awake all night, he would sit in silence, massaging my aching legs until I fell asleep.

The grand banquet ended, but Caleb didn't leave.Over the next few days, he tried every possible way to win her back.He spent a fortune buying extremely rare pink diamonds. He bought the handmade strawberry mousse cake Catalina used to love, just hoping to get her to look at him once.But none of it even made it past the iron gates of the King’s estate. The guards threw it all straight into the trash right in front of him. Late one night, a heavy rainstorm hit, but Caleb dropped to his knees right in front of the estate gates."Catalina! Please, just see me!"He howled miserably at the heavy iron gates."I know I was wrong! For the past two years, I've regretted it every single second...""I kicked Stella out! I swear, you are the only one I love! Please, just let me see you one more time..."He knelt in the pouring rain, begging all night, until his voice was completely gone and he couldn't speak another word. At dawn, the estate gates finally gave a soft click.The gates opened.C
