Her eyes widened in shock and surprise. She looked him in the eyes. "D-do you want to mark me as your woman, your mate? But why? We both know you are going to marry Deborah, and I have a boyfriend back home waiting for me. You can't claim me as your woman because I'm already taken. I won't allow you to mark me," she said with finality in her voice, easing away from him, facing the wall, giving him her back.
"Sweetie, please listen to me. I'm doing it for you, for us and for our future baby. Once I mark you, we can be a family. I no longer want to marry Deborah. I would rather marry you because we are compatible with each other. In you, I have found my second chance mate," Alpha Maxwell said with sincerity in his tone.
"Oh my, are you really serious?" She shook her head in utter shock and disbelief.
