"What do you want?" he asked, his voice icy, each word laced with a palpable tension, as if he were poised to sever the connection at any given moment. "I'm here.

Tessa isn't home, so I can't come?" Chloe's voice held a hint of desperation, a plea wrapped in uncertainty. Ryan had already been privy to the news of Chloe's fallout with the Bloodmoon Pack. He understood, deep down, the true reason for her visit-she was seeking sanctuary with him, a place to hide from the chaos that had engulfed her life. A flicker of sympathy should have sparked within him, a remnant of the hope he once harbored that Chloe might find her footing within the pack, even if it meant causing Tessa, his destined mate, pain.

Yet, when the headlines broke about Chloe's expulsion, an unexpected wave of relief washed over him. His heart had always belonged to Tessa, a love that had persisted through trials and tribulations, yet it was a love she had never been able to fully embrace. "I don't want this," he declared, his voice firm, cutting through the air like a knife. "This is Tessa and my home. Please leave." Chloe stood there, momentarily stunned into silence by the force of his rejection.

It was a foreign experience for her; Ryan had always been her confidant, her protector, the one who would drop everything to ensure her happiness. "What are you saying? Didn't you love me more than anything?" she implored, her voice trembling with disbelief. That question struck Ryan like a physical blow. He squeezed his eyes shut, feeling his patience fray at the edges. "I don't love you. I've always loved your sister. She is my mate!" he shouted, the words bursting forth like a dam breaking. Chloe's expression morphed into one of incredulity.

If his feelings for Tessa were genuine, how could he have spent so many clandestine moments with her, sharing laughter and stolen glances, while she was left in the shadows? "Stop lying to yourself! You've forgotten the nights you chose to be with me, abandoning her! Your heart is with me!" she pressed, her voice rising, desperation dripping from each syllable. "Don't think just because Tessa is gone now that you love her! You don't!" Her words came in a frantic rush, each one a sharp reminder to Ryan of the betrayals he had committed.

Ryan's composure shattered, his wolf stirring inside him, growling low and threatening. "I told you, when I was with you, it was just for fun! I was chasing a thrill! I'm sorry for what I did to Tessa, but I love her!" he exclaimed, his voice raw with emotion. "And I never thought about having a future with you!" Chloe shot back, her eyes flashing with indignation. "Stop bothering me!" he barked, the weight of his guilt pressing heavily on his chest. He was acutely aware of the pain he had inflicted on Tessa, a wound that would never fully heal.

It had been half a month since she had walked away, and in that time, everything had shifted dramatically. Days had slipped by without him leaving the house, likely driven by an all-consuming fear of the judgment that awaited him outside. Yet, deep down, he knew this was Tessa's way of punishing him, and he had resigned himself to that fate. All he could cling to now was the hope that one day, she would find her way back to him. With a decisive swipe, Ryan blocked Chloe's number, feeling an immediate sense of relief wash over him, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.

But peace was short-lived. Moments later, his phone buzzed again, breaking the silence of his solitude. This time, it was his mother calling. As was customary, she wasn't reaching out to chastise him for not measuring up to his older brother. Instead, her tone was insistent, urging him to participate in the Alpha events that loomed ahead. Ryan struggled to muster any enthusiasm. "What's going on?" he asked, his voice flat, betraying none of the turmoil roiling within him. "Prepare for your mating ceremony with Chloe," she announced, her words making his heart drop.

Ryan felt his body freeze, disbelief coursing through him like ice water. "Why?" he managed to stammer, confusion and dread intertwining. On the other end of the line, Olivia let out a cold, sarcastic laugh that sent chills down his spine. "Why? Don't you know you've gotten her pregnant? Do you want me to clean up your mess too?" The gravity of her words hit him like a thunderclap, leaving him reeling as the reality of his situation settled in. Conclusion In the aftermath of Chloe's desperate plea, Ryan stands at a crossroads, grappling with the consequences of his past choices.
