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.”

　　“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…”
