The Alpha’s Ex-Mate
"She fought alongside us. She saved the Alpha's life."
Different praises about me kept flowing, one after another, until the cave was filled with murmurs of approval and acceptance. Some of them I couldn't help but giggle at—the compliments were so unexpected, so overwhelming, that I didn't know how else to react.
But then someone spoke, and the warmth in the cave turned cold.
"Since the Alpha rejected you, won't you have a second chance mate?" The greasily man asked, his voice curious. His eyes were on me, and there was something in them that made my skin crawl. Like he was imagining himself as that second chance.
