Hi there, sorry about that heart-breaking ending but I couldn't resist because a happily ever after is cliché. But good news! Book 2 (The Pains of Guilt) will be coming soon so be sure to be on the lookout for that and follow me on Instagram (@otakuhashira3004) or TikTok (nony_m01) for other exclusive content such as bonus chapters of what happens afterwards, my weird writing process, previous book covers and links to merch and the book on sites such as Amazon, Barnes&Noble, Apple books, etc in ebook, paperback and hardcover formats. I also added a bonus chapter after this one ;)
Here's a little preview of book 2's blurb:
Takumi had once won his Alpha's heart but lost it in the end. When she left, he didn't expect to see her again 3 years later and with a child. Despite his efforts at trying to get through to her, she blatantly refuses to acknowledge the bond they still have. Not to mention, he has a bit of competition.
Can he win his Alpha's heart once more or has he lost it forever?
Here's a sneak peek:
"I'm guessing that small talk isn't what you want, right?" She asked.
"No, just questions that I need answers to."
"I thought as much. Ask so we can get this over and done with."
"First question, will you give me another chance?"
"No. And I don't believe in giving people second chances if they don't deserve it because one, if you were serious, you wouldn't have fucked up the first time and two, if it didn't work out the first time, it won't the second. Besides, you made your decision years ago so stick to it."
"Ok. Next question, are you still mad at me?"
"Yes."
"Do you feel something for me?"
"Besides the obvious anger and disgust, no."
"Will you ever?"
"Never. Even liking you is off the table."
"Then why did you kiss me after I kissed you?"
"It was obviously a mistake."
"The look in your eyes and your response to my actions said otherwise. You and I both know that we would've gone a whole lot further if Sora didn't interrupt."
"As I've said before, it was a mistake. If we did go further, it would have been out of lust and not love. Don't get those two mixed up. And don't get ahead of yourself because I would've gone further if it was anyone else but you."
