I scrutinized Alpha Gilbert, unsure of how to respond. Once, he was my entire universe, my fate mate,and now, he stood before me as a mere stranger.
“I never meant to hurt you,” he continued, his voice quivering. “If I could turn back time, I’d change everything.” A part of me wished to remain angry, to let him shoulder the burden of my suffering. But anger was exhausting, and exhaustion had consumed me. I never expected him to apologize after all these years. It’s ironic how remorse often comes too late.
“I forgive you, Alpha Gilbert,” I replied, my voice steady yet conclusive. “But this changes nothing. I don’t want you in my life anymore. Whatever guilt you bear, handle it

elsewhere. I’m done.”
His face fell, but he nodded. “I understand.”
“Good,” I said, stepping back. “Now leave.”
- He paused briefly before turning away, departing without another word.
As soon as Alpha Gilbert disappeared, Alpha Xavien appeared by my side. “You okay?”
I nodded, leaning into him. “Let’s just move
on.”
The following morning, a bouquet of flowers arrived.
The card was simple: I’m truly sorry – Alpha Gilbert.
I didn’t even flinch.

Alpha Xavien walked in, immediately noticing the flowers. He raised an eyebrow, his arms crossed.
“Should I be jealous now?”
I laughed, shaking my head. “Not a chance.”
Alpha Xavien stepped closer, wrapping his arms around me.
“Good,” he murmured. “Because I love you, Camille. And I’m never letting you go.”
My chest tightened as I gazed up at him, smiling. “I love you, too.”
He leaned down, his lips brushing against mine, and I kissed him back, feeling the warmth of his embrace dissolve the lingering shadows of my past.

Later that evening, was curled up on the e couch, aimlessly flipping through channels when a breaking news segment caught my attention.
“Alpha Gilbert has officially filed for divorce from Audrey Hopkins, the anchor announced. “Sources confirm that Audrey’s modeling agency has also chosen not to renew her contract, effectively ending her career.”
I leaned forward, watching as the screen displayed images of Audrey leaving the courthouse, her head bowed, her expression defeated.
The report continued, detailing Audrey’s financial turmoil. She was living in a hotel, selling off her possessions just to get by..

Alpha Xavien entered the room, catching the end of the report. Just then, one of my staff members walked in, handing me a folder.
I closed it without even glancing inside. “Let her stay in the gutter where she belongs. I don’t care about her anymore. All I want is for Alpha Thomas to end up in jail.”
Alpha Xavien nodded. “That’s exactly what’s going to happen.”
The day of the trial finally arrived.
The courtroom was packed, the air thick with tension.
Alpha Thomas sat at the defendant’s table, his face pale but stubbornly defiant. The evidence was unassailable, the testimonies indisputable.

“Then why did I faint?” I asked, bewildered.
The doctor’s smile broadened. “Because you’re pregnant.”
My heart froze.
“What?” I whispered.
“You’re pregnant, the doctor repeated. “Congratulations.”
I turned to Alpha Xavien, who looked momentarily stunned before breaking into a joyful grin.
“We’re having a baby,” he said softly, his voice laced with awe.
I nodded, tears streaming down my face.
For the first time, they weren’t tears of pain.
