Mating Bond Fell Asleep, So Did Love

Synopsis

I'd just gotten the news from the pack healer that I was six weeks pregnant when Derek kicked open the front door with a bloody woman in his arms. He said, "Allie, Selena took a silver bullet for me. She's got wolfsbane in her blood. "I have to claim her. It's the only way to stop it from spreading." Before I could pull the pregnancy test out of my pocket, he'd already carried Selena into our bedroom. The moment our mating bond ripped apart, the pain shot from my chest all the way down to my belly. I curled up on the floor, every breath tasting like blood. At dawn, Derek stood in front of me, still reeking of Selena's scent. "She can't handle the cold. Let her take the climate-controlled villa for now. You stay at the outer watchtower for a few days," he told me. There was a time when his eyes could find me in any crowd. But now, there was nothing left of me in them. I hid the pregnancy test and replied, my voice steady, "Okay." That night, I went to the witch and got a vial of scent-blocker. I rubbed it on, walked out of the Silvermoon Pack, and never looked back. Three years later, when I came home one day, my pup tugged at my skirt and whispered, "Mommy, why does that man keep smelling me?"
