Her possessive alpha novel Chapter 87

　　Stephanie 2

　　“My dear mate, now became the Beta of one of the most powerful territories in all of the supernatural world after leaving his former pack, I would have never believed it unless I saw it myself!”

　　“What are you doing here Stephanie?”

　　“Is that how to greet an old friend? As much as you might hate it Cian you are still my mate; you still belong to me no matter what has happened between us.”

　　He turned away from her. “You rejected me Stephanie, and now we are no longer mates. I do not belong to you, neither do you belong to me.”

　　Stephanie came closer to him and tried to take his hand in hers which he quickly snatched away. She sighed at his actions and continued speaking.

　　“I didn’t do it because I wanted to Cian, I had no other choice. You know how much I hated to say those words to you but I still did, it was one mistake I admit I did and I regret it so much but I swear didn’t do it because I wanted to, can’t you ever forgive me for that?”

　　“Of course, I have forgiven you, but I still think that the moon goddess made a mistake when it came to our union. It was never meant to be, Stephanie.”

　　“Oh, yes it was. We had a perfect union, and it was all destroyed when those rogues came.”

　　“Yes, the rogues came and attacked our pack, they took everything from us and made a life of hell for the rest of us they chose to spare, but you Stephanie, you turned your back on us; you turned your back on your mate just to save your ass. You rejected me, you rejected your pack and went to mate with one of them so that you would be spared from the torture that we the other prisoners had to go through every day. Alpha Daryl might have forgiven you for that, I might have also forgiven you but as for our union, you might as well just forget about it Stephanie; because it will never be.”

　　“So, you’re still mad at me for that? Well since you choose to dwell on it let me now tell you the real reason why I chose to do what I did.”

　　He turned back to face her. “What do you mean by the reason you chose to do what you did?”

　　She began to explain. “The rogue I mated with; his name is Kian. I hated him so much, I still do and my blood boils whenever I so much as speak of his name even though he is dead but you have to know the truth, you have to know that I didn’t do it because it was my intention. After the colonization, Kian took a special interest in me, he always made sure that the other rogues never came close to me and protected me while my other pack mates went through the torture I would have gone through. I was grateful for his mercy towards me and I wished that he showed it on you too but he didn’t. I always thought that he did it because he was different from the other rogues and had some goodness in him but I didn’t know that the reason he treated me differently was all because he was sexually attracted to me.

　　“On the day that he made his intentions known to me, he promised to make me his Luna after he overthrew the leader of the Black Dynasty, Vulcan Darin, the leader of the rogues. I declined his offer and I told him that it was because I had someone I loved, someone I had already been mated with, you Cian. I loved you and I faced him squarely and told him that it was because of you I couldn’t accept his offer.

　　“But I didn’t know that I made a mistake by mentioning your name because my answer only infuriated Kian and he went on to intensify your daily punishments and then threatened to kill you if I didn’t give into his requests. I did it all for you Cian, that day he was about to end your life before I rejected you… I just couldn’t let him do that, so I did what I had to do. I did it all for you, I did it to save your life, and if it wasn’t for me, you wouldn’t even be alive to even accuse me of betraying you.” Tears rolled down Stephanie’s cheeks as she narrated everything. Her former actions were something she’d never spoken of, not to anyone until now, the reason being that she was ashamed for what she did, but he really loved her mate, and if it meant that she would reject him just to save his life, if it meant that she would sleep with another wolf just to see him smile again, then she would do it a million times over.”

　　Cian blinked trying to hold back his own tears as he remembered that day vividly; that day he was lying in a pool of his own blood and about to close his eyes for the final time. Kian wasn’t moved and still wanted to hit him with the mace until Stephanie stepped in and rejected him. Her rejection hurt worse than his physical pain, he couldn’t remember much after that because he drifted into unconsciousness shortly after hearing her words, he woke up in the healers’ quarters a few days after, his body wrapped in bandages and in his mind laid the painful reminder that his mate was no longer his, his mate had rejected him. That very day happened to be the worst day of his life, he always thought that she rejected him because she was disgusted by seeing him in such pitiful state, that was why he hated her. He didn’t know the real reason for her actions until now.

　　“What you said… everything you just said Stephanie… Is it true? Do you swear by what you just said?”

　　“I swear by every word Cian. I did it all to protect you, I did it because I love you Cian. I always have and I still do…”
