Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 75

Hazel couldn’t raise her head; she couldn’t look him in the eyes right now. A lump formed painfully in her throat, making it hard to breathe as she held back tears.

Tears threatened, held back by a determined resolve, and breathing became an arduous task under the weight of unshed emotions.

Ethan’s words although intended as a genuine compliment, had hit Hazel in a different way. His honest praises, though well–intentioned, stirred an undercurrent of guilt within her.
