Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 163

“No, I’m very much in my mind, thank you.” I retort, trying to stay calm amidst all the upset. The last thing I need is to have an anxiety attack from so many people yelling. That would hardly convince them I’m up for the journey.

“No.” Donovan sighs, gesturing to the soft swell of my stomach. “Because you’re a breeding mother.”

“So what, I’m weak?” I challenge. “I’m incapable of helping my mate?” “Selene you can barely go a week without being hospitalized!” Aiden exclaims.
