Melody

"Don't worry Zoraya. Now that you're here, you'll never be sad."

Her blue eyes blinked with disbelief as soon as I said that. She looked at me like she was seeing something strange.

I patted her head in assurance. "Trust me, Zoraya. I won't let a drop of tears come to your eyes ever again."

She blinked innocently and a lone tear rolled down her eyes. She wiped the tears and hugged me.

"Thank you," she sniffed.

I could feel her body relax in my arms. She was starting to trust and feel safe with me. It felt good seeing her relax in my arms.

"Let's walk," I took her hand as we resumed walking.

She chatted away while we walked, leaving me to wonder if she really was the girl who arrived a while ago.

In few minutes, I was aware of all that had happened in her life. Including the reason behind her pain.

It felt bad knowing all she had been through at such an early age. She was at an age where she should be pampered and nurtured, yet she was ill treated her whole life.

  • Pregnant And Rejected; His Exclusive Mate    Fifty Five

    Zoraya’s POVThe next few days passed in a blur. I wasn’t sure how to feel about everything. The warmth of Axel’s presence, the way he stayed close, as if afraid I would disappear. The way Queen Melody always seemed to be watching over me with a careful, protective gaze.It was overwhelming.For the first time in my life, I wasn’t alone.But I didn’t know what to do with that.I wasn’t used to people caring. I wasn’t used to waking up and knowing someone would be there.Even though I had spent years in Jayden’s pack, I had always been alone. An outcast. A shadow.And now?Now I had a mate who swore to stand by me. A mother who looked at me as if I was the most precious thing in the world.And an unborn child growing inside me.A child I had yet to accept.A child I wasn’t sure I could love.I sat on the bed, staring out of the window when I heard the soft knock on my door.I turned my head slightly as Queen Melody entered, her expression warm but cautious.“How are you feeling?” she a

  • Pregnant And Rejected; His Exclusive Mate    Fifty Four

    ZorayaAxel’s hand was warm against mine, his touch grounding me as I struggled to hold back the flood of emotions swelling within me. I hadn’t expected him to do this—to acknowledge my unborn child with such tenderness. I had feared disgust, rejection, even silent resentment. But instead, I was met with understanding.“I don’t know what the future holds,” he murmured, his voice steady, “but I know one thing—I want to be in it with you.”Tears stung my eyes again, but this time, they weren’t just tears of sadness. There was something else there, something I hadn’t felt in a long time. Hope.I looked at Axel, trying to understand how someone like him could exist. A man who could accept me despite my past. Despite the child that wasn’t his.But was it fair?I wasn’t whole. I wasn’t the kind of woman a powerful Alpha like him should be tied to. I was broken, carrying the consequences of my past, the product of Jayden’s cruelty.Why would Axel want me?As if reading my thoughts, he tighte

  • Pregnant And Rejected; His Exclusive Mate    Fifty Three

    ZorayaAxel’s arms around me felt like the safest place in the world. For so long, I had been alone, unwanted, discarded like I was nothing. But here, in his embrace, I felt something I never thought I would—a sense of belonging.His words echoed in my mind. You are not secondhand to me. You are not ruined.But how could I believe that?I had only been with one man before, and that was Jayden. And I knew now that whatever he had done to me that night had led to the child growing inside me.A child born from a man who never wanted me.A child from the same lips that had whispered sweet nothings to me in secret but called me an animal in public.Silent tears streamed down my cheeks as I clung to Axel. My body trembled with emotions too overwhelming to contain. I wanted to believe him. I wanted to accept that he truly meant what he said.But how could I, when the scars of my past were so deep?I pulled back slightly, my eyes searching his. Axel’s expression was unreadable, his blue eyes

  • Pregnant And Rejected; His Exclusive Mate    Fifty Two

    AxelThe moment I stepped out of Zoraya’s room, I felt the weight of everything pressing down on me. The revelation of her pregnancy had shaken me more than I cared to admit.I had spent years searching for my mate, yearning for the moment I would finally have her in my arms. Yet, now that I had her, fate had thrown something unexpected in my path.Zoraya was carrying another man’s child.I exhaled deeply, trying to suppress the growl building in my chest. It wasn’t her fault—I knew that. Queen Melody had made it clear that Zoraya hadn’t even realized she was pregnant until she told her. That only meant one thing.Someone had taken advantage of her.The thought alone was enough to make my wolf claw at the surface, desperate to hunt down whoever had hurt her. Whoever had dared to lay their filthy hands on my mate.I needed air.I walked through the palace corridors, not entirely sure where I was going until I found myself outside, standing in the palace gardens. The scent of blooming r

    ZorayaThe morning light streamed in through the large windows, casting a soft golden glow across the room. The warmth should have been comforting, but I still felt cold inside.Even after Axel’s reassurances, even after the promise he made to stand by my side, a small part of me still couldn’t silence the fear that lurked deep within me.What if he changed his mind?What if, one day, he looked at me and realized that I was too broken? That the child I carried was too much of a burden?I shook my head. No. I couldn’t think like that. Axel had given me his word, and I had to trust him.My fingers brushed over my stomach again, hesitating. There was a life growing inside me. An innocent soul that had no say in how it came to be. No choice in who its father was.I had spent so much time fearing this child, resenting it because of who fathered it. But was that fair? Was it right for me to blame something so pure for the sins of the man who had hurt me?A soft knock on the door pulled me f

    ZorayaThe room was silent except for the soft crackling of the fire in the hearth. The warmth from the flames should have brought me comfort, yet my body still shivered as if trapped in an endless winter.I laid there, staring at the ceiling, my thoughts a chaotic storm that refused to settle. My heart was heavy, burdened by a truth I had only just begun to grasp.I was pregnant.At first, I had been too weak to comprehend it. Too exhausted to process what it truly meant. But now, as I placed my trembling hand over my stomach, realization set in like a sharp blade cutting through me.I was carrying a child.And not just any child.Jayden’s child.A silent sob built up in my throat, but I swallowed it down, refusing to let it escape. I had shed enough tears for that man. For a love that never truly belonged to me.Jayden had been my first everything. The first man to touch me, to make me feel something beyond the emptiness I had known my whole life. I had been foolish to think that wh
