My eyebrows shot up in surprise. I can't believe my ears; this was not part of my plan. What am I going to do now? "What? You want to be my queen but not my mate." I stared at Charles in disbelief, my mind racing to comprehend his words. "We don't need to mate for that to happen," I replied firmly, trying to hide the unease in my voice. "Yes, you're right." Charles was walking around his desk and sitting on his chair with a self-satisfied grin. "But you see, being my queen comes with certain expectations. And if you're not willing to fulfill them. Well, let's just say it won't end well for you." "Why do you want me to be your mate?" Charles leans back in his chair, a smirk playing on his lips. "Because you're the only one who can handle me."

I covered my mouth, tears brimming in my eyes. The man I'd loved for seven years was now cheating on me? Had all his promises been nothing but lies? I remembered the day he proposed to me four years ago, with his earnest gaze and heartfelt words. "Olivia, you are my choice, always. Even if fate brings me a fated mate, my heart will remain yours." His sincerity had been convincing until when he brought the Omega home, pleading, "Olivia, I rescued this girl from a cruel Alpha. Could you help care for her?" Even when I discovered they were fated mates, I chose to trust him because his apology seemed genuine, "Olivia, I'm so sorry. I tried to prevent this from hurting you, but my wolf was in agony. I promise, once it settles, I'll reject her." How foolish I was to believe his honeyed words. Until the night he walked up to me, darkness filled in those eyes that used to be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. “I'm sorry, Olivia, but I think it's time you leave. I realize I don't love you anymore, and my heart beats for no woman but Sophie. Take your things, and leave this place while you still can.” I sneezed while wiping away my tears. I'd heard and watched enough. And I've made my decision. I was never a weakling. Even if we’d shared many memories over our four-year marriage, I never lacked the courage to leave him. Since he'd betrayed me, I wouldn't want him either. #Book 2: Alpha's Redemption: Chasing My Second Chance Mate
