Stacey’s POV.I tried. I tried not to be sad after hearing those words from his mouth. But at the same time, I knew what was coming next; his mate was not an evil person because of which he would leave her for me. I just wished that he wouldn’t change his behavior toward me after this, or maybe he would. What was I expecting from him? To be with two women at the same time?I was hoping that things would begin to get better between us after our confession, but now it seemed like I was too early to hope something like that.“Sure. Come with me! I will take you to her.”, I responded. Wow! I couldn’t believe it myself; I was ruining my own happiness with my hand.****After an hour!!We reached the city hospital where his mate, Scarlett, was admitted. The Doctor recognized me immediately because I used to visit here at least twice a month to check on her.“It’s good to see you, Mrs. Brown,” Doctor greeted me. Well, I was kind of married to Adams until he rejected me last week after the p

Stacey's POV."His facial expression was worth watching." Adams joked at first, but he immediately shut his mouth when he sensed my aura. "Stacey, you're scaring me.""Then, you should be scared. Adams." I spoke; my voice was overlapping with Alicia's, indicating to him that we were in no mood to take any shit right now. "Now tell me, why were you so desperate to talk with me?" I asked while driving the car."I was thinking if we could sort out our difference and patch…." Before he could have completed his sentence. Alicia growled at him loudly, giving him the answer to his unasked question."Alicia, we were mates.""Exactly, we WERE mates.", I responded. "And there is no future of our relationship," I made this clear to him. "I'm having this conversation with you, Adams, because I want to clear the air between us. Just because I let you enter in my father's pack and save your ass from getting kicked because I want to give you one last chance to end this issue without creating any sc

Derek’s POV.I was going to be the first Alpha in history who was not happy or excited with the fact that I was going to be the leader of the pack from the second most important person of the pack. I always believed that someday I would be the Alpha because I wanted to be an Alpha, but I had to focus on my beta duties first because my Alpha’s daughter had married someone who was liked by no one, and Alpha Asher didn’t want to trust her with her mate alone.Because of that part, I kept my dreams at my side because duty came first, but today I wanted to keep my dreams and duties aside and keep Stacey at first priority.Something was changed in her. She was looking too tired even though she had traveled a journey of a few hours, and not to forget; she was turning paler yet beautiful.And the thing which I didn’t want to mention was the slight change in her scent.Was she marked?That alone thought was ready to kill me. I couldn’t stand seeing her with someone else.I would kill… Kill an

Stacey's POV."Do I look like a mini version of mommy now?" I heard my little daughter asking who had worn a little white dress with a crown on her head, made up of white flowers.Jr. Scarlett was going to become the flower girl, and Laila's son was going to be the ring bearer at our wedding. That's why his son, Xander, who was three years old, had worn a dress that was similar to Derek's."Yes! Absolutely.", Sr. Scarlett responded, and then she looked at me.I could never thank her enough for the happiness which came in my life as a Derek. She could have acted like bitch and would have got married to Derek, but for the sake of Derek's happiness, she let him go."You look beautiful.", She gave a compliment."Thank you.", I said wholeheartedly. She tried to hide her sadness behind her smile but failed miserably when I smelt her feelings. "And I'm sorry.""Sorry? Are you feeling sorry for falling in love with Derek?", She asked, arching her brow."No. Not because of that but for hurtin

Derek’s POV.The last thing I remembered before I slept was I was holding my mate in my arms and Stacey snuggling closer to me, but in the middle of the night, she just not untangled herself but almost threw me away from the bed forcefully. It wasn’t that she was strong like a hulk, and I was weak as a kid. It was just that I was not prepared for that, and her attack was all of a sudden. Because I could have understood anything, Stacey ran toward the washroom, and the sound of her puking followed after that. I quickly recovered from my state and ran to check on her.Just like the other day, I saw her kneeling in front of the toilet, her face in the toilet bowl. I took a few steps more and kneeled by her side, and caressed her back, whispering soothing words in her ear.I knew this was not going to help, but at least it would make her feel good, knowing that someone was by her side. When she was done, I cleaned her up instead of letting her do it on her own. I couldn’t share the pain
