I was stunned.
In my memory, Alaric had always been mean to me–pulling my hair, giving me annoying nicknames…
How could he have feelings for me?
Alaric smiled bitterly.
“I was just a stupid pup back then. That was my pathetic way of getting your attention.”
“By the time I figured it out, it was too late. You were already mated to Luca,”
Alaric knelt down, leaning closer.
“But Sera, things are different now. Luca betrayed you–won’t you just look at me?”
“I want to be your strength, your shelter. Let me take care of you for the rest of our lives.”
I felt lost, avoiding his gaze. I’d never considered this possibility.
When we’d left together, he’d immediately gotten me a more comfortable wheelchair.
He’d even flown in world–renowned specialists to treat me.
I was grateful to him, had even agreed to mate with him.
But all of that was based on…
“I’m sorry, Alaric. I didn’t know you had feelings for me.”
“You said you couldn’t sire pups and wanted a family. That’s the only reason I agreed.”
“Right now, I’m just… broken inside…”
The alpha I’d loved for ten years had destroyed me for the sake of a cheap thrill.
Our pup had nearly died by Luca’s own hand.
His betrayal left me with no faith in love anymore.
Alaric had come too late.
Mating with him wouldn’t be fair to him.
Understanding my meaning, Alaric’s eyes dimmed as he pulled out a medical document.
“I had the procedure done. I really can’t father pups now.”
I glanced at the date–it was the same day I’d accepted his proposal.
“You… Alaric, this sacrifice is too much. I’m not worth it.”
He stepped forward and pulled me into his arms.
“Sera, you’re worth everything to me. I love you more than my own life–this was my

“It’s okay, Sera. If I couldn’t have you, I never would have mated anyone else anyway. You’re an unexpected gift from the Moon Goddess
“The surgery won’t affect me at all,”

He gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, then stepped back like a gentleman.
“Besides, Sera, don’t worry about the mating ceremony.”
“Just give me a chance to court you properly.”
“I’m sorry, but I think I’ve lost the ability.

to refuse him, Alaric just smiled and found another reason to stay.
I finally gave up and focused all my energy on caring for my pup and adapting to my prosthetics.
I refused to be a burden who could only be taken care of.
