Done With My Cheating Alpha Married My True Mate novel Chapter 28

Lucian’s grip on Liam’s collar tightened before he finally released him.

“I am warning you. Back the hell off!” he growled, his eyes never leaving Liam’s face.

Liam tried to apologize, but Katie wasn’t having it. “Nurses, excuse them from my room. Right

now.”

The nurses hesitated before stepping forward to escort Lucian and Liam out.

Lucian protested, “Are you serious?”

Katie’s voice was firm. “Yes. You’re both giving me a headache.”

As the men were led out, Katie turned to the nurses. “Don’t tell Alpha Lucian about the baby.” Then she mind–linked Liam. “Don’t tell him about the baby either.”

Liam replied quickly. “You know I won’t.”

The commotion died down, and Katie was left alone.

She turned onto her side, burying her face in the pillow.

Tears spilled from eyes. Setting her cheeks.

She didn’t even understand why she was crying.

The pain of what she’d seen earlier felt like a weight crushing her chest.

She felt hurt, betrayed, and lost.

ucian didn’t leave her side though. He stood there at the door watching.

But then left to get the mansion ready for Katie’s arrival.

When Katie was discharged and he brought her home, she was greeted with twinkling lights

irst.

ucian had transformed the space into a romantic haven.

ler favorite flowers.

Vhite roses and lilies. Scattered everywhere.

A beautifully set table caught her eye, complete with fine china and candles.

Her favorite dishes.

Cute little candles. Ribbons. Balloons.

A handful of all the favorite items she loved.

Her favorite scent.

Despite the effort Lucian had put into creating this romantic atmosphere, Katie’s heart felt

heavy.

The images of him and Maya lingered in her mind, refusing to budge.

She forced a smile, trying to appreciate the beauty around her.

Lucian’s hands stilled at the small of her back.

“Don’t you like what I put out? I took a lot of effort to make sure it was to your taste, since you’re my wife.”

She didn’t want to hurt him, but she couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease. “It’s not that I don’t like it,” she said softly. “It’s just…I’m not really in a good mood.”

His face fell, but he quickly recovered. “I see,” he said, his voice gentle.

“But, it’s really thoughtful of you to consider this. Everything is really beautiful.But right now I

want to rest.”

Lucian’s eyes searched hers, as if trying to read between the lines. “Of course,” he said finally “You must be tired from the hospital. I’ll let you rest. But I just wanted to let you there’s nothing between me and Maya. Again..”

“Nothing happened?”

He took her hands in his. “Nothing actually happened between me and Maya.”

Katie’s hands moved swiftly, pulling out her phone. She showed him the photos.

A muscle tickled in his jaw.

‘What the heck?” he muttered. “Why is Maya being so sneaky?”

He looked at the photos again, his expression darkening. “I can tell you for a fact that nothing actually happened. Maya drugged me last night. She put some aphrodisiac in my food and drink.”

Katie’s anger began to settle. She looked at his eyes, searching for the truth. “Okay,” she sai inally.

I’m really disappointed in her. She went to great lengths to cause a rift between us.”

I was really mad. I was hurt that you weren’t there when I needed you the most.”

His eyes looked really regretful. “I hate that you got hurt, and I wasn’t there to save you from it. From now on, I’ll make sure you’re not in that position again.”

Katie’s heart swelled with emotion.

She thought about telling him about the baby, but hesitated. Maybe some other time, when hings had died down, she’d tell him.

For now, she was content to bask in the warmth of his presence.

To feel his arms around her. She knew she still had questions, but they could wait.

What mattered most was that she believed him, and their relationship was stronger than any obstacle Maya might throw their way.

His arms wrapped around her, holding her even closer. “I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I’ll do better. promise.”

His sudden movement caught Katie off guard. He dropped to one knee, his eyes fixated on hers.

‘What the heck? What are you doing?” she asked, feeling giddy a bit.
