Chapter 1

TANA'S P.O.V.

Hurry up! I heard my mother yell from outside but all my thoughts were surrounded by the man I love the most - my father, but unfortunately, he wouldn't be able to attend my biggest day and walk me down the aisle like any father would.

Wiping the tears that threatened to roll off my cheek, I walked out of the room with a bright smile on my face. I wish he was here, but he wouldn't want me to be sad about him being gone forever.

Mother looked at me in awe as I walked down the stairs, and she hugged me tightly before letting go.

You look lovely. She gave out a smile, but I could see the sadness deep within her eyes.

Dad would have said, never let a single tear ruin the happiness of the entire day. She let out a laugh as she wiped it away.

He will be so proud after all, now let's get you married because he begins to communicate from the heavens.

That's impossible! We both laughed before getting into the car, and we were on the way to the altar.

Finally, we arrived at the wedding venue. My heart was racing as I thought about our lovemaking the previous night. I couldn't forget how he brought me to this room, carried me to the bed, and stripped me naked, in the most romantic way ever.

The way he grabbed my boobs and pressed them tenderly in his hands was so pleasurable. He made love to me with care after I told him that it was my first time.

The memory of the romantic night I had spent with Philip was burned into my mind, a treasured moment I knew I would never forget. Even as I stood at the altar, dressed in my wedding gown, I couldn't stop thinking about how he had made me feel so special, so loved. I remembered the way he had looked at me, the way his hands had felt on my skin and the soft words he had whispered in my ear. It was a night that had changed everything, and I knew I would never be the same. He had made me feel like the most special person in the world and I was eager to say yes I do on the altar.

As I stood at the altar, waiting for him to arrive, I noticed something was off. Philip's aura was different, his expression solemn and distant. Gone was the romantic smile that I remembered from the night before, replaced by a fierce look. A shiver ran down my spine as I wondered what could have changed his mood so drastically. Did he regret what had happened between us? Had he only been pretending to care for me the night before? The questions swirled in my head as the priest cleared his throat, bringing me back to the present moment. I took a deep breath, trying to shake off my doubts and focus on the ceremony.

Say your vows The pastor urged me as I looked into his eyes through the thin layer of veil covering my face.

I take you as my husband. To have and to hold, until death do us part. I give you my hand to be your kin and your love. Loving what I know of you and trusting what I don't yet know, I give you my hand. I give you my love. I give you myself, the good, the bad, and the yet to come. I smiled, but his expression didn't change, what world has he gotten himself into?

Your vows? The pastor turned to Philip, but he looked him dead in the eyes with no emotion written on his face.

I'm not saying any vows My body remained frozen as I was driven into shock by his words and I could hear the whispers from the crowd, but my attention was fully on him

I opened my veil to look at him, but his face remained emotionless like he didn't just cause a commotion he shouldn't

This must certainly be some joke… I spoke lowly as I got closer to him, ... Philip, what are you…

I'm not saying any vows and that's it He snarled towards me which made me take a few steps back with tears slowly filling my eyes.

She's using the mate bond against him! I heard Veronica's voice from the crowd as she suddenly began to cry.

What the hell are you talking about?! I tried to walk to her, but my mother held me back, which made me stop.

Tana knew Philip and I were in a relationship and now she's not only using the mate bond to take away the man I love, she also wants to render my unborn child fatherless! I looked at my step-sister in disbelief and I looked back at Philip who now looked angry.

What the hell is she talking about, Philip? We are mated to one another and just like always, we were meant to get married, why is Veronica…

This is what I'm talking about. Everyone looked at her. She knew Philip had marked me that's why she is behaving like this Veronica directs everyone's attention towards me ... She's at it again. Philip has no choice, he loves me, but he would rather not cause her pain with the mate bond. Philip is so kind-hearted yet she chooses to be self-centered about the situation. Veronica fell to the ground and right before my eyes, Philip began to walk down the stairs, but I held him, and he yanked his hands out of mine while looking at me with an angry face.

Don't you dare touch me again He growled, and I watched him walk toward Veronica

My heartbeat increased the more I looked at what was happening, it was more like a dream, but it was happening way too fast for me to understand

All this while I had thought we were in love, considering what had happened last night, it was the best night of my life, and he claimed the same, and out of the blue he was in love with Veronica, and they were having a child?

This isn't true, Veronica, tell them the truth! I snapped at her, but all she did was cry more and more into Philip's arms.

Enough! Philip snapped, making me jump ... This wedding and everything that is going on in the place is being canceled, everyone go home, there's no more weddings!

Philip you just can't do…

I said enough. He stood up on his feet and gently picked Veronica into his arms, ... Let's get out of here, sweetheart

Philip…

Aren't you ashamed of yourself? Taking a pregnant woman's husband The crowd began to throw words as tears rolled down my eyes and my mum grabbed my hands before guiding me out.

Was this truly the wedding of my dreams?

Chapter 2

TANA'S P.O.V.

It's been three days since the incident in the church, but I couldn't do anything but cry in my bed all day. My mother had knocked on my door several times, hell she had even threatened to break the door down, but I didn't pay any attention to anything she said.

I looked at my father's photo and the pain in my heart increased. We were mates, we loved each other more than anything, what the hell was Veronica doing that Philip was memorized by?

I thought that everything I had done just to keep Philip with the wedding was the key for us to be marked and mated to one another, yet the wedding was easily broken off like it didn't matter at all.

Are you still grumpy? I heard a familiar voice and without thinking twice I flipped the blanket off me and unlocked the door, revealing Jennifer, … Jeez! You look… I wrapped my hands around her neck as I hugged her while the tears continued to pour out.

I can't do this anymore My voice was cracked as she walked inside the room and I heard the door close

I don't think I can hold your weight any longer She mumbled and dropped my legs on the floor still holding on to her, … Tell me, what happened? She whispered in my ears and I gently pulled away as I wiped away the tears.

Jennifer could attend the wedding because she wasn't in the pack, and she wasn't even aware it was going on, but she's the only friend who could look me dead in the eyes and know something was wrong

It's Philip

Philip? Did he… Did he reject you? She asked with her eyes widened, and I could see the fear in them.

No, that's not it. I'm sorry I couldn't inform you because you were far away, but I was meant to get married three days ago but… I trailed off as I took a deep breath, … But at the wedding, Philip refused to say his vows, and suddenly Veronica made a fuss about her and Philip being in a relationship and being pregnant

That's impossible, you and Philip love each other

That's what I thought, but it didn't seem like it She wiped the tears from my eyes as she looked at me in the eyes and put a hand against my cheek

I know you and Philip truly love each other. Veronica is up to something and I don't understand why she acts like a sister sometimes and suddenly changes, but you need to fight for your mate, no one should be coming between you both. Come on, get dressed She pulled me up and pushed me towards the bathroom, which made me smile.

She was right

Giving up Philip for Veronica was not an option, if Veronica wanted to be stupid and think she could take my mate away from me, then I had to teach her a lesson, pregnant or not

I immediately freshened up before getting dressed in the clothes she picked out, and I headed towards the alpha's home, I knew Philip was home, moreover, he barely goes anywhere

Win him back, no matter what Jennifer hugged me before walking towards her home, while I walked into the mansion

I noticed the look people were giving me around the house, but I wasn't concerned about that, he was my mate, and I wasn't letting him go with my step-sister no matter what. I walked towards his office and opened it, but I was stunned to see Veronica sitting on the couch with a frown on her face.

What the hell are you doing here after what you've done? I looked at her in disbelief as I shut the door.

What have I done? Veronica, I have no interest in you or whatever you wish to do in your life, but Philip is my mate. You dared to interrupt my wedding because you slept with another woman's mate, and then you got pregnant! That shows how much of a whore you just are…

Don't you dare….

But of course! It's Veronica, she's the sweet little daughter of Beta Andrew. No one will see her fault, but you need to know that I'm also our father's daughter!

I'm a child from the mate bond between him and my mother, but you are nothing but a replacement I looked at her curiously and I could see she wasn't going to give up

You are not… A slap across my face made my mouth shut within an instant and when I raised my hands she caught it and twisted it which made me scream.

Do not be so naive, Tana. I'm far stronger than you! She growled at my face, and she pushed me to the ground, and out of the blue I felt a whip against my back which made me scream more.

You will not… She punched me in the face and my vision became blurrier than before, I couldn't keep up with her throwing things at my face.

I grabbed her hand as she tried to punch me again and pushed her away from him, and she suddenly pulled out a dagger which made me gasp, there was no way I was going to escape from this place, she was against the door, and blocking my exit

You might be his mate, but you are nothing but a cheap side chick, I bet you claimed to have the best night of your life before the wedding but sweetie, it was all planned My eyes widened as I looked at her in disbelief

You weren't the one in bed with him, so you have… Have you lost your mind! I watched as she cut her arm with the dagger and fell to the ground.

Not really… She began to cry, and the door opened revealing Philip and I realized it was a trap ... I told you I wasn't safe anywhere close to her and now look what she has done to me Philip looked at me and I could see the clear anger in his eyes.

Get the hell out of here, Tana

She's lying she did that… I was suddenly pinned against the wall by him and I struggled to breathe ... Philip… Please

Silence! He growled in my face, ... I've had enough of you and from now henceforth, you are forever banished from this pack and I reject you as my mate He threw me out of the room as pain pierced into my heart.

Chapter 3

Tana's POV.

I couldn't hide the disbelief look in my eyes as he stared at him in utter shock. Shaking my head in disagreement, I parted my lips to speak. please, Philip. Don't… do this, I could barely breathe as I gasped in pain. My throat felt like it was on fire, an unquenchable fire. He growled, and his eyes darkened as he tightened his hold as if he were still being lenient.

Behind him, I could see Veronica smiling ruefully. She seemed quite pleased with the sudden declaration. I wanted to beg, but I could barely breathe and the blood in my body slowly turned cold, and my heart beat faster within my left breast.

Fear grasped my heart and tears stung my eyes as I tried to wiggle free from his stronghold but it was obviously impossible to break free from him. However, how could I overpower an alpha?

I knew she wouldn't bother to interfere, as she derived joy from the pain I felt. My vision slowly became blurry and my fear increased. I was scared to die, I couldn't die this way.

Just when I thought it was the end, he pulled me from the wall and pushed me down on the cold floor harshly. I fell back with a groan before I choked and coughed as I quickly gasped. I lifted my teary eyes to look at him as he stood above me with a solemn expression.

I felt so vulnerable under his scrutinizing gaze. He shifted his gaze to someone, and the cold look in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with an affectionate look. I watched as he walked towards Veronica, who still sat on the floor with a painful expression.

She hissed when he touched her injured hand as he lifted her up carefully. The way he handled her with so much care hurt me
