Pregnant And Rejected By My Alpha Mate By Caroline Above Chapter 198

Chapter 198As long as I live, I‘ll never forget the sight of Bastien killing Blaise, or the strange sense of relief to watch another being‘s life snuff out so brutally.

It almost happens too fast, ricocheting me back and forth between such extremes of emotion that my brain needs to shut down in order to cope I actually black out for a few moments, the world going as dark as my shadows as I try to process what has just hap pened. Luckily I‘m not alone. My father is by my side anchor ing me to reality, and before long my mate is there too.

“I know, baby.” He croons, “I’m so sorry.”

Behind us, I can hear Blaise‘s former guards muttering, all the while Grayson and Matthew limp over to us. “You must be Selene.” Grayson says by way of greeting.

I start to pull back to greet him, but Bastien won‘t let me go. He keeps his arms locked around me tightly, so I simply turn my head towards the Calypso wolves and nod hello. “That‘s right.” | confirm. “Thank you so much for helping us.”

“If anyone is owed thanks, it‘s your mate.” Matthew an swers, patting Bastien on the back, “He saved an entire city today.”
