Destined mate
Derick muttered something about the kitchen and slipped off, dragging Ken and Ashiel with him—leaving me alone with Dad.
“What’s wrong, Lu?” Dad asked, coming closer.
I swallowed hard. “I… need to tell you something. Don’t get angry. It’s… a lot.”
Dad gave a short laugh. “Now you’re scaring me.”
I drew a shaky breath. “I was reincarnated as a boy. In my first life, I was a girl—and I had a mate. Now I’m here, and I’m mated to Damien. I’m… not fully human. My sickness—it’s gone, because Damien marked me. And…” My throat tightened. “…and I’m pregnant with his child.”
