Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 42

Chapter 42 Reunion

Selene‘s POV

Luna’s melodic bay rises to meet the call of Bastien’s wolf, sounds only we two can hear. I try with all my might to reign her back in. Luna, Igroan internally, cut it out!

I can’t help it! She exclaims. He‘s calling me.

Get it together. I snap. He‘s no good, and he can’t find out about Lila.

This is a disaster. I can’t believe Drake didn’t warn me when he called. I am not prepared to face Bastien, especially not when my wolf has lost her head at the mere sight of him.

Though she was still with me after I escaped Garrick, Luna had buried herself so deeply in my heart that our connection became completely blocked. Neither of us could feel the other, and my wolf never met our mate. Things might have been different if Bastien had ever marked me, but he hadn‘t wanted me without Luna, so she stayed hidden until our daughter was born.

Lila is the most precious gift I‘ve ever received, and bringing her into the world unlocked Luna‘s trapped spirit. Looking back, think she started to return the moment I conceived. My wolf senses began to resurface long before Lila actually arrived, but freeing Luna completely made it possible for me to love and appreciate my child as a mother should. My wolf healed my fractured soul, if not my broken heart.

Luna whines as I cross the garden, coming to stand in front of my ex–husband. Goddess I‘d forgotten how handsome he is; how tall. It doesn’t feel right to be so near him without our bodies touching, it takes all my strength not to reach out to him. “Hello Bastien.”

Whatever he was expecting, it clearly wasn‘t this. His silver eyes stop their hungry head–to–toe scan of my body, settling on my face and blinking in surprise. I can see the gears turning in his head, piecing together the puzzle of my presence here and replacing shock with confusion and anger. “Is that really all you have to say to me?”

I cock my head to the side. “What would you have me say?”

“I thought you were dead!” He barks, making Luna tuck her tail between her legs.

Unlike my wolf, I have more than enough bad memories and regrets to withstand his ire. “Oh I’m sorry, did my funeral get in the way of your wedding plans?”

Bastien looks like he might explode. “What the hell are you talking about?”
