Aaron’s POV After Emma donated blood to save Mae, she came and found me while we waited for her sister to wake up. She confessed the secret she had dangled in front of me – another manipulation. Eight years ago, Mae unknowingly spent a heat cycle with me. Apparently, she was drunk and in heat he
“You don’t help.”Aaron’s biting words from earlier echo in my mind as I pull on the thin, silk nightgown he gifted me for our first anniversary. I spend every second of the day taking care of our daughter, cooking, cleaning, and making sure I look beautiful for him, but it’s never enough.You’d thi
