Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 4

Ethan tightly held onto Bella, his b*dy trembling with anger. He couldn’t believe Hazel would hurt someone, but he witnessed it firsthand when she tried to harm Bella, his mate.

“Ethan, I’m okay now. It’s just a small injury. When she pushed me, I instinctively protected myself to minimize the damage. I’m sorry, I’m just so weak,” Bella said, her voice trailing off. “I shouldn’t have followed her, but something seemed familiar about her, so I confronted her, and that’s when she pushed me.”

“What? Why would she be so angry at you? It doesn’t make sense for her to try to kill you,” Ethan inquired, trying to understand the situation.

“Alpha, I want to tell you some things, but please don’t get mad,” Bella said, looking at him intently.

Ethan adjusted to meet her gaze, ready to listen to her explanation.

“For over two years now, I’ve known you were my mate. I was planning to come and find you, but on the night of your birthday celebration, I was abducted. When I woke up, I was already being sold and taken far away,” Bella revealed sadly.

Ethan’s heart broke at the revelation, realizing that he had missed out on meeting his mate for such a long time.

“When I was drugged, I heard a woman’s voice giving instructions to my kidnappers. She wanted me taken far away. And when I met Hazel, I felt she was familiar, so I confronted her. In her rage, she pushed me down the stairs. I was terrified, but I managed to protect myself,” Bella lied, trying to make her story more convincing as she broke down sobbing.

Ethan froze upon hearing her words, shocked that Hazel had tried to kill Bella not once but twice. He now understood why Hazel had kept them apart, purposely preventing them from meeting as mates.

He remembered Hazel’s obsession with him since their teenage years, always seeking his attention and constantly being around him. However, he never imagined she would such extreme lengths to get rid of his mate. She had convinced him to marry her, assuring
