My Alpha Stepbrother's Dirty Secret novel Chapter 306

Chapter 34

Dalia’s POV

"Mate?" I repeated the word‚ staring hard at Isaac. He froze right there‚ his eyes fixed on me.

How could Isaac be my mate? After everything that just happened between us?

"Anything the matter?" he asked‚ stepping closer. His hand reached out‚ but I pulled back. My mind raced too fast. I grabbed my bag from the desk and stood up. I had to get out. I needed air‚ space to think.

Isaac... my mate? I shook my head while I dashed down the hall. No‚ it couldn't be true. Part of me wanted to feel joy‚ like a missing piece finally found. But the guilt over Gabriel crushed that. I had betrayed him‚ given myself to Isaac in a moment of raw need. Sadness mixed with confusion‚ making my chest hurt. Should I be relieved? Happy? I didn't know. I just felt lost.

"Di! Di!" Isaac called from behind. His voice pulled at me‚ but I kept running. I didn't answer. I pushed through the hospital doors and out the gate.

My heart hammered in my ears as I hurried to the bus stop. A bus pulled up right then. I tapped my card and climbed on board. It was nearly empty‚ only five people inside. I sank into a corner seat and stared out the window. My hands shook in my lap. I just couldn't think straight. Today had been a whole lot.

First‚ I was late to work‚ then I lost my virginity to Isaac on that exam bed which wasn't how I planned to lose it. I had thought it would be on my wedding night‚ that’s how I'd imagined it to be. Now there was pain in between my legs‚ and it reminded me of how Isaac took me.
