Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 2

When Tobias woke up the next morning, his wolf’s golden eyes locked onto mine.

"Hailey Selene," he said stiffly. "I’ll take responsibility. I’ll mate with you."

I thought our lives together would begin then. That the Moon Goddess had finally answered my prayers.

But a few weeks later, I overheard him speaking to a friend.

"Tobias, don’t take Hailey for granted. She has everything—power, status, beauty. Just be good to her."

Tobias took a slow drag of his cigarette and exhaled.

"At first, I liked her," he admitted. "But I didn’t expect her to be this desperate."

His voice dropped to a sneer.

"When I think about how she drugged me and forced herself on me that night, it just… disgusts me."

I felt my inner wolf growl in fury. I wanted to rip through my skin, show him my true strength, make him see me.

But I never got the chance.

Two weeks later, Tobias secured a visa and left the country.

And from that night, our daughter was born.

Three years passed. Three years of silence, of waiting.

Until one day, Tobias returned—alongside Valeria and her child.

And when I confronted him about Rhea’s pain, about how he had ignored our daughter, he simply frowned.

"Valeria’s raising Sable alone. She’s overwhelmed." His jaw tightened. "I swore to her long before I met you that I’d never let her suffer."

His words ignited something dark in me.

"I’ve already mated you, Hailey. You can’t stop me from caring about them."

Then, he walked away, stripping his shirt off as he headed to the bathroom.

Water splashed as he showered, drowning out my silent sobs.
