The Cruel Alpha's Second MateChapter 1

I had a feeling that Andro hadn’t been honest with me these past few weeks. But I had set all my doubts aside because I thought our history was enough reassurance. Now, everything we had built through the years crashed down on me as I heard a female’s voice inside his room.

It wasn’t just any voice. It belonged to the young woman that my father took in and adopted despite my mother’s disapproval. I took a shuddering breath, my fiance’s pants and groans nailing me on the floor.

“You can’t resist me, Andro,” Stella said. “I’m your mate. You will want me no matter how much you deny it.”

“Shut up,” Andro snapped. “I promised Melissa that I’d marry her. I promised to reject my mate if it wasn’t her.”

Andro’s words caused a pang in my chest. It was clear that he had given in to his urges and the mate bond’s pull. In the end, his promise was nothing against the mate bond.

“But you need me. You need this,” Stella purred. “Do you even love her? Or do you just need her to get rid of your brother and take his place as alpha of the pack?”
