With that one question of mine, he stopped. “I’m so sorry Jocelyn. The thing with Gabriella is not what you think. Her mate is dying and one of his last wishes is to see Gabriella with a pup and as Alpha, I only thought it would be right if I helped. The pup won’t be connected to me in any way, shape, or form.”
None of what Dante said made any sense to me.
I took a step away from him, unfurling his hands away from my waist, before turning to face him. “And did you have to do it? Why didn't your Beta do it? Or any other man who just didn't happen to be mated? Am I just supposed to believe that you having a pup with your ex is purely innocent?”
I was sure that the shakiness in my voice didn't go unnoticed and I tried my very best I could not shed any tears in front of him. He didn't deserve to see me in such a state.
“Jocelyn, I don't need any of this right now! I'm trying to be the best mate for you by being honest with you every step of the way and if you can't appreciate that, then fine!” Dante yelled before leaving our room and going to only goddess knew where.
That night, I didn't sleep.
