Alpha's Regret: Omega Secretary's My Mate

"You're...oh," I murmured softly, my eyes glazing over as Julian's lips gently caressed an irresistible spot on my neck. "You're mated!" I exclaimed, struggling to catch my breath. Julian's gaze blazed with a golden intensity as he confirmed, "You belong to me, Avery. I yearn to possess every part of you, both physically and spiritually." His words sent a wave of emotions crashing through me, resurrecting feelings I believed were long gone from three years prior. How could his words not stir something deep within me? Yet, I was still vulnerable, fearing I hadn't learned my lesson. _________ The heartache began when my supposed mate chose another, parading their affection for all to see and shattering my world into fragments. The pain was excruciating – I lost our child, and with it, any lingering hope of reclaiming his love. The harsh truth that he never truly valued me pierced deeper than any physical wound, leaving scars烙印在心底, ones that time seemed powerless to heal. Fast forward three years, against all reason, we unexpectedly crossed paths once more. Despite the lingering pain and the countless warnings in my mind, I found myself inexplicably drawn to him anew.
