No Turning Back: Broken Bonds ForeverChapter 1
Jocelyn’s POV
“It’s unfortunate how some people can spend years with the alpha and still be without a pup and how some can spend just one night with and have a rounded belly only a month after, don't you think?” Gabriella Walter’s sickly voice met my voice making my anger boil in my veins.
Gabriella, my mate’s ex, didn't even bother to get a response from me before she left my room, cackling.
The first thing I did was to mind-link my mate, Alpha Dante Alessandro.
“I never knew that sleeping around with the women in the pack was one of your honorable duties as well, Alpha,” my voice echoed through our mind link in the most sarcastic tone ever and I knew that this was no way to talk to your fated mate, but Dante had crossed the line.
“Stop overreacting! Gabriella needed help and I helped her out like any other alpha should!”
Dante’s words did nothing to calm the brewing storm in my heart and so I temporarily blocked the mind path we shared, not willing to hear any more condescending words.
My hands fell on the top of my belly, and I wasn't able to hold back the tears. Soon, I began a crying mess as I began to wonder how exactly I ended up in this situation in the first place.
I was already a few weeks pregnant and planned to share the good news with Dante soon, but now, it didn't even seem like it would be necessary.
For the rest of the day, my mind kept dancing around previous conversations with Dante and the number of times when he would tell me that he wasn't ready for a pup.
Werewolves were creatures that craved physical intimacy, especially with their mates, yet Dante hardly ever touched me. One of his excuses was that he wasn't ready for pups yet. I guess that the rule only applied to me.
I felt stupid thinking that he was starting to consider a family with me when he suddenly started talking about pups and started getting closer to me.
Night fell, and it was only then that I got to see Dante.
He was quick to approach me and hug me from behind before peppering hot kisses against my neck.
This wasn't Dante I knew.
“What is it?” I asked in a harsh voice ready to get as far away from him as possible.
