Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

Chapter 72

My mate's scent is on her. It's strong. But she's not my mate. But she knows my mate. Why is my mate hiding from me? I know she knows who I am. I could feel her watching me. But I can't spot her. Oh shit. This Alpha guy asked me something. I should just nod.

"Oh. When did you guys meet?" I pulled away from Marco's mind as Jeremy posed a question.

Tai lightly smacked Marco's chest. "Sorry. This dufus wasn't even listening" she told my mate apologetically. "We're not mates. Just friends. And we met when we were ten- I think" she stated.

Good. Just friends. "Do either of you have a mate?" I asked in a genuinely curious tone.

Tai shook her head and looked shocked when Marco nodded. "Well, I- she's here. I know that for sure. I'm just not sure who she is" he muttered, embarrassed.
