All Chapters of My Mate Lost His Memory, I Chose Another Alpha: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The sight of Vivian made Damien's stomach turn.This mating ceremony had been a carefully crafted dream — and it was time to wake up.After tonight, he could go back to Elena.He placed his jacket over Vivian's shoulders and pushed her gently but firmly onto the bed."Vivian, I think there's been a misunderstanding. I held this ceremony to grant your final wish — not because I actually want to be with you.""I've kept my promise. When the time comes, I'll make sure you're buried properly. You can be at peace.""If the child survives, I’ll send him away to a rich family—they’ll take care of him and raise him."He could admit it: there had been a moment when he'd entertained the idea of keeping both women. Vivian handling the domestic side, Elena handling the rest.But once the fog cleared, the truth was undeniable. He couldn't accept Vivian. Elena was all he could think about.Everyone said Damien had been bewitched by a witch. But the one who truly haunted him was the mate he'd walked

Damien stared at the ring, unable to comprehend."Nothing to each other"? They'd agreed to a temporary dissolution — a performance for Vivian's benefit. How had it come to this?He'd thought he had everything under control. Now it was all spinning away from him.His phone rang. He snatched it up, praying it was Elena. It wasn't."Alpha, the Northwind Pack has officially terminated all partnerships with us."His legs buckled. He caught himself on the table."Multiple projects have stalled due to lack of funding. What do we do?"The voice droned on, but Damien's mind was blank.Terminating the alliance meant Elena had ensured there was no going back. Why would she do this?Because of Vivian?But they'd had an agreement.He called Northwind's Pack Registry directly."Is Elena there? And why have you canceled our partnerships? Is this the Alpha's decision?"The voice on the other end turned frosty the moment they recognized him. "We cannot disclose Elena's whereabouts. As for the cancellat

Vivian had been lingering near the estate, unable to bring herself to leave. When Damien's call came, she nearly jumped for joy.She assumed he'd had a change of heart. The Luna lifestyle was finally within reach.She touched up her makeup — forgetting she was supposed to be a fragile pregnant woman — and practically skipped to his front door.Inside, Damien sat on the couch, a nearly imperceptible frost in his eyes.He patted the seat beside him. Vivian's heart soared. She nestled against him with a coy smile.She was too blinded by fantasy to notice the flash of disgust on his face as she leaned in.Damien swallowed his revulsion and smiled. "I've been thinking. Elena's gone. The pack needs a Luna. You're carrying my child. You're the obvious choice."Vivian's heart was about to burst. She blinked her big, dewy eyes. "I promise I'll be the perfect Luna! But can you hold a proper ceremony for us? At the altar, with the whole pack watching? And I want a dress — more beautiful than anyt

The plane touched down in Northwind territory.The moment I stepped off, I saw my parents waiting at the gate.I'd held myself together through everything Damien had put me through. But seeing them — seeing the worry etched into their faces — something cracked. Tears spilled before I could stop them.I threw myself into my mother's arms and sobbed. Every wound, every humiliation, every swallowed scream came pouring out at once."Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault — I was stubborn, I chose wrong, and I almost put my pup in danger."Her eyes reddened. She stroked my hair. "You're home now. That's all that matters. I made your favorite dinner — we'll get some good food in you."Even my father — stoic as ever — couldn't hold back his tears. His fists clenched at his sides. "That man isn't worthy of you. And he dared treat you like this.""I've already terminated every partnership and investment with his pack. Any pack that allies with him from now on will answer to me. His days as Alpha are num

"I don't care about any of that. It's you I want. And any child of yours — I'll love them like my own.""The only thing is — I can't have children. Can you accept that we'd never have a child together?"He watched me, hope and fear warring in his eyes.This was a man who'd fought countless battles, quelled rebellions, stared down death with a silver blade at his throat — and never flinched.But confessing to the woman he loved? That terrified him.Seeing him anxiously rubbing his hands together, I couldn't help thinking: he was kind of adorable.When I didn't respond, the light in his eyes dimmed."It's okay. I'm not pressuring you. I just wanted you to know — I'll wait. However long it takes.""I won't bother you anymore. If you ever need anything, I'm here."He turned to go, reluctant and resigned. Then he heard me mutter under my breath:"I don't want any more children either."He spun around, eyes blazing. "Elena — does that mean — are you saying yes?"He looked like an excited pup
