Collection-Break Mate Bond with Alpha Before Marriage novel Chapter 14

When I returned home in the afternoon, unease consumed me until evening.

I wanted to see if he would be honest with

1. me.

I hoped he would come back with an explanation.

Alpha Dorian Kingston didn’t return until near dawn.

“Darling, I worked late at the office last night. Did you have breakfast? Let me join you,” he said as soon as he walked in, wrapping his arms around me and affectionately nuzzling my hair.

I suspected he must have gone to the house

he used to share with Liora Granger.

“Yeah, thanks for your hard work, Alpha Dorian Kingston. Let’s eat together” I replied, forcing down the bitter feelings and casually setting out a plate of sandwiches and milk.

In my mind, I thought that if he could just honestly tell me everything before he went to pick up Liora Granger today, perhaps I would consider sharing the news of my pregnancy. Perhaps there could still be a chance for us.

But disappointingly, throughout breakfast, he didn’t mention a single word about Liora’s

return.

After we finished eating, he went to take a shower, meticulously shaving and spritzing cologne.

Uncharacteristically, he spent a long time in

the walk–in closet choosing his outfit.

This was something that had never happened in our three years together.

He had never cared about such things before.

I stared at him, lost in thought, my mind a whirlwind.

Perhaps my gaze was too intense, causing him to feel uneasy; he awkwardly laughed and raised his hands, saying, “Oh, I need to meet an important client soon. He really cares about appearance.”

“Important client?” I scoffed inwardly, suspecting it was an old flame.

I was deeply disheartened.

He had indeed chosen to deceive me.

After Alpha Dorian Kingston left, I felt an unwillingness to accept it and quietly called a cab, trailing behind him at a distance.

The car drove toward the airport, and with each passing moment, my heart sank further.

Upon reaching the arrival area, I hid behind a pillar, fixated on his direction.

Anxiety, unease, anger… a storm of emotions gnawed at my heart like ants.

Suddenly, I saw him stop in his tracks, a look of surprise lighting up his face as he waved excitedly.

Following his gaze, I saw a woman approaching him slowly.

I held my breath, trying to evade the crowd, and stealthily moved closer to them.

Alpha Dorian Kingston hurried to the

woman, trembling hands gently cradling her tear–streaked face.

“My mate, it’s you! I’ve come back!” Liora Granger’s voice was soft and filled with emotion, and she immediately embraced Dorian Kingston tightly.

In that moment, my world collapsed. It was really Liora Granger–she had truly returned.

If there had been any sliver of hope left in my heart before, now, all of it shattered.

My legs grew weak, and my body uncontrollably slid downward.

I stumbled to the corner nearby, crouched down, and tears fell in a steady stream, like pearls slipping off a broken string.

No! No! This can’t be real! I screamed desperately in my mind, praying to the Moon. Goddess to wake me from this nightmare.

But my wolf, Phoenix, kept howling in my mind, reminding me that this was real–it wasn’t a dream.

I watched them, locked in each other’s arms, and couldn’t bear it anymore. I turned and, stumbling, ran out of the airport.

I sat in the taxi, my heart heavy, watching the scenery rush by, feeling as if the entire world was enveloped in gray.

“Celine Vaughn, you can’t settle for the past anymore. You need to confront Alpha Dorian Kingston and find out why he betrayed us” my wolf, Phoenix, growled in my mind, the anger and questioning gnawing at me, but I paid it little mind.

I rested my forehead against the window, letting the tears flow freely.

“Oh, Celine Vaughn, don’t cry. You need to be strong because the little Puppy inside you needs you. Please, stop crying; I will always be by your side,” my wolf, Phoenix, said in distress.

Puppy… At the mention of that word, I lost all control and broke down in sobs.

Yes, just yesterday, I had received the blessing of the Moon Goddess–I was pregnant, carrying the child of Dorian Kingston.

But today, Puppy’s father was planning to rekindle things with his old flame.

The driver, hearing my cries, asked, “Ma’am, do you need help?”

I waved my hand dismissively, unable to respond.

I was truly afraid–afraid that Alpha Dorian Kingston would succumb to that old bond.

Suddenly, there was a deafening crash,

jolting me back to reality. I realized we had been in a car accident.
