The Alpha Begged me not to Choose Someone Else Novel – “I’ve run several tests,” the doctor said, her voice cautious yet firm. “I’ll contact you as soon as the results come in. But… based on the symptoms you’ve described, I don’t believe they’re related to your pregnancy. Let’s hope for the best, but prepare for more than one possibility.” I nodded stiffly, the knot in my throat refusing to loosen. The sterile scent of the infirmary clawed at my senses, as if even the air was warning me something was terribly wrong.
My heart thudded louder than it should have. Not from the baby. From everything else. I stepped out into the hospital hall slowly, the chill from the tiles seeping through my slippers. Nine moons along, and yet the ache in my chest burned fiercer than the weight of my growing pup. Alpha Hudson should’ve been here. But once again, my mate—my Alpha—had made himself unavailable. He said he had duties to attend to. Said the patrols were shifting. Said the outer border reports needed reviewing. All lies. Because through the faint opening of a nearby hospital room, I heard his voice—warm, familiar, soft in a way he hadn’t spoken to me in moons. “You don’t have to blame yourself, Abi,” he murmured.
“What happened with your old mate… that’s not your fault. I’m here now, and I’ll make sure you and the pup are safe. Always.” Abigail’s voice trembled like she’d rehearsed it a hundred times. “Alpha, I never meant to come between you and Luna Lily. If only my bond hadn’t shattered back then… I wouldn’t be here. I wouldn’t be taking up your time.” “Don’t talk like that,” Hudson said gently. “You’re not a burden. You need support. I promised I’d look after you, didn’t I?” I gripped the edge of the hallway wall, claws slowly extending out of instinct.
My wolf stirred restlessly within me, sensing the betrayal even before I let myself feel it. He was supposed to be mine. Not because I owned him, but because the Moon Goddess said so. We were mates—fated, bound, chosen. And yet here he was… whispering sweet words to another she-wolf who already had her chance. But who am I really? They were childhood sweethearts. They were so in love back then before Abigail left with her fated mate and I entered Hudson’s life.
