His Unmarked Mate
1.6k Views · Ongoing · Zoe
One year of marriage. White roses on the table. His hands on my skin like I was something worth keeping.
I lay against his chest afterward, listening to his heartbeat slow, dizzy with a happiness so big it spilled over. The pregnancy test was in my blazer pocket. I was going to tell him. I was going to watch his face change. I was sure — so stupidly sure — that this was the beginning of something real.
Then his lighter clicked, and he didn't look at me.
Serena married the most dominant Alpha in Valmont City knowing it was a contract. What she didn't plan on was falling in love with him — or carrying his child. Elliot never marked her. Never claimed her. And on the night she finally had something worth telling him, he had something to tell her first.
His first love came back. And Serena was never anything more than a placeholder.
