“I’m carrying Dominic’s heir.”
The attached video captured my mate’s loving voice meant for his mistress.
“You’re… you’re pregnant?” Dominic stared at Victoria in elation. When she nodded, he lifted her up joyfully before marking her neck.
“I’ll reject Reyna as soon as she gives me a son. Then we can start our family! Two powerful heirs!”
I had to replay the video multiple times before the reality sank in. Clutching my chest, feeling my childhood sweetheart and true mate’s betrayal pierce my heart, I struggled to breathe. While I sat on the floor trying to hold myself together, the front door opened as Dominic returned home.
“Reyna?” He called out several times before frowning and illuminating the room with his power. When he couldn’t find me downstairs, he entered our bedroom only to see me sitting silently in a dark corner, tears glistening in my eyes.
“Reyna? Are you alright?” When he gripped my shoulders, trying to help me up, I had to fight the urge to push him away
with my wolf’s strength.
“You’re due any day now, you need to be more careful. Why are you sitting in the dark? What if you’d fallen?”
“Where were you until now?” Taken aback by my direct question, Dominic quickly fabricated an excuse.
“Love, I was discussing border patrols with Beta Marcus.”
“Really? My friend saw you by the river today buying hot chocolate.” Dominic paled momentarily before composing
himself.
“So what? I can’t get something to drink? Why are you having me watched?!” The guilt in his eyes was evident–he’d spent the whole day with Victoria.
“I just asked because I wanted some hot chocolate too.” I wanted to see how far he’d go with his lies.
