All Chapters of The Alpha's Scorn: His No More : Chapter 61 - Chapter 69

Leo’s pov: There was so much I wanted to tell Yuri, so much I wanted to do – possibly try to explain things to her, ideally apologize. And yet my pride as an Alpha wouldn’t allow me to do any of that. I found myself simply following her outside… And there she broke the illusion and any silly ideas I might have entertained. Mate or not, I had hurt Yuri in ways unbefitting of an Alpha… She didn’t hesitate to burst my bubble, the kind of bubble where I believed I was right, and I thought she would in time forgive me, just because we were mates. And yet, Yuri had said she deserved better, and had called me a cheater in the same sentence. I wished I could give her a proper reply. I wish I could explain things – how I felt pulled to her for weeks, how I just couldn’t help myself. And yet, I had chosen the simple minded yet wicked Aurora over her, time and time again. I had let Yuri take the blame for something that wasn’t entirely her fault, if at all. I hadn’t bothered to explain my

Leo’s pov: When Aurora called and I reluctantly picked up, her cries as she complained about Yuri barely made any sense. I decided to head to their college, not to stir trouble with that fire-cracker mate of mine, but rather to try to make peace with her. I didn’t know what Aurora might have told her, but I knew I needed to do some damage control, especially if she told her that she was pregnant. My wolf growled low in my mind. He was angry, and rightfully so, might I add. Sure, I had crashed at Aurora’s place that evening… but I had been drunk. Surely, it shouldn’t count. And yet, if the baby was mine, I dared not think of the life that would await me – dull, full of senseless parties and mindless bragging, and boring to the very core too. Upon reaching Yuri’s class, when I called her name in earnest, all heads turned to her… some eyes were full of curiosity while others seemed to pity her. My mate might not be miss popular, but she had managed not to make an enemy out of the m

Yuri’s pov: “Some people truly are shameless, always desperate for attention,” Sophia mocked openly the moment I entered the class. I rolled my eyes, shaking my head ever so slightly at her, wishing my bee-stung lips wouldn’t be too obvious. “No need to act so proud,” she then pointed out, her eyes wicked as her gaze flickered to me. “The Alpha wasn’t pleased with the stunt you pulled this morning… It’s only natural that he would back his fiancée.” Leo frea*king Phillips might not have been pleased with many things, but he had not even addressed me a word of scolding. He did remind me, however, that we were mates, and told me to behave too... not that she needed to know that. I dampened my lips, ready to fire back a retort of some kind, only realizing a moment too late my mistake. I could still taste him on my lips, and his soothing fragrance still envelopped me. I couldn’t help the shudder of pure physical awareness that wrecked me, at the mere memory of his dark promises, of h

Yuri’s pov: Kevin was as endearing as ever, and a gentleman down to his very core. He didn’t hesitate to help me into the chair gallantly, even went as far as to bring a bouquet of roses… He was going all out, and little, self-conscious, boring me didn’t believe I deserved such a caring attentive man by my side. “What’s on your mind?” He asked in a soft tone of voice, his eyes twinkling softly with a tenderness that almost had me gasping for breath. I was tongue-tied and I didn’t know what to tell him. How about the truth? My wolf snarled. That you have a mate and shouldn’t be here with him to begin with. Leo is with Aurora, and it is high time you accept it, I told her in a determined voice. He was jealous earlier, she tried to argue, but it sounded like a feeble excuse at best. He always is. He is an as*s. And yet, I believed that telling Kevin the truth might spare us some future awkward moments and uncomfortable conversations. “I have met my mate,” I began in a sorrowfu

Yuri’s pov: 3 days went by since Leo and I had that argument in the car… An argument which we never had the chance to finish. I heaved a sigh of utter frustration even as I looked at the designs in front of me. Don’t be bitter. You didn’t get to finish because you didn’t let him claim you. That’s not what I meant and you know it, I growled back at my mate, finding her words as outrageous as ever.It’s not a proper argument if you ended up on his lap making out. I chose to ignore her and focus back on work. My internship was going strong, and I needed to ace it if I ever wanted to stand a chance in the field. Thanks to my devilish mate, I didn’t make it the way I would have wanted. Thanks to him, many things were going wrong in my life. Nevertheless, if there was something he couldn’t touch, it had to be this internship, this opportunity, and this design in front of me. I was nose down into the design when a hand appeared on the side, waving at me. “You’re going to ruin your eye
