Pregnant And Rejected

Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 65

Chapter 65 Worth It

Bastien’s POV

I close the bedroom door as quietly as I can, unsurprised to find my mate waiting on the other side. I al most smile; some things never change. My little mate seems just as prone to eavesdropping as ever, and stands with her arms coiled defensively around her body, eyeing me with apprehension.

“No.” She corrects me immediately. “Why did you say those things to her?”

“So?” | ask, taking too much pleasure in baiting her. “What could be better for a growing pup?”

“Fairy tales aren’t real.” Selene argues, a red flush working its way up her cheeks.
