All men are the same-unfaithful. That's what Aurora believes after being dumped by her long-term boyfriend. Wanting to get over the pain, she went out with her mom to meet her new step-father. However, she didn't expect that upon meeting her mom's new lover, she would also meet the person fated to be hers-her mate. The other half of her soul. The next alpha of their pack, Axcel Knight. Axcel wanted nothing but to mark her the moment his eyes laid on her beautiful face and smelling the sweetest, intoxicating smell in the entire universe. But he never expected that she would bluntly reject his claim. Dejected and angry, he left-not realising that he had made the most stupid mistake upon leaving her that night. Determined to win her back and her forgiveness, Axcel would do any lengths just to have her back. But what if Aurora no longer believes in love? Will he be able to melt the ice surrounding her heart? Or will the karma only hit him tenfold? But what will happen when fate has suddenly begun playing with their lives? Will Aurora keep her promise to herself? With the stress and pressure from their families, along with the unexpected pregnancy, could Axcel and Aurora get through with all these hardships? Will they be able to make it? Or just like every story, will their story come to its end? Can love heal the wound of the past, or will it only worsen everything than it already was?

"You're... what?" he asked, disbelief visible in his face.
I let out a shaky breath. I mustered the last ounce of courage I have within me and spoke those words I wished to never speak again. "I'm pregnant..."
He stumbled back, looking at me with wide eyes. His face paled as if he'd seen a ghost. My heart began to throb. It was painfully beating against my chest. My stomach churn in anxiety. My lungs began to tighten as I could hardly breathe.
I was starting to hyperventilate. This thing, this pregnancy thing is getting into my head and I can't shove it away no matter how I tried to. I'm going to be a mom. I was stupid and reckless to get knocked up like this, especially by my very own stepbrother. I was so stupid!
No, no. No one should know about this. They will judge me. My mom would definitely disown me. My schoolmates would laugh at me. I am an unmated wolf. What would they think of me if they found out I got pregnant with no mate?
Tears soaked my face as I sobbed violently. My body shook at every sob that left my mouth. I wasn't ready for this.
"Aurora..." Hearing his soft and calm voice, I lifted my gaze from the ground and looked up at him. His eyes softened as he engulfed me in a hug. I buried my face to his chest, clutching into it for dear life. I was so scared. I don't know what to do.
"P-Please, Axcel, I don't know what to do," I sobbed. "I d-don't want to get rid of the baby but I also don't want them to know. What should I do?"
"Hush, we'll figure it out, okay?"
"How?!" I pushed his chest and glared up at him. "Figure it out?! I am pregnant for goodness' sake! I am barely an adult! My mom would get angry at me!"
He shook his head, trying his best to calm me down. "I'll talk to your mom about it. For now, let's keep it to ourselves until he figures out what to do, alright? Don't worry, I won't run from the responsibility. I got you. We got this."
I began to calm down as he pulled me to a hug. I cried in his chest, scared. I don't know what awaits me as I enter this stage of my life. I am afraid and beyond terrified at the idea of being a young mom. But as Axcel engulfed me with his warmth, I started to believe that, maybe, there's still a way to get through this. I just hope that we can surpass it, otherwise I'll be doomed.
