My Mate's Regret After Removing My Heart

The day before my mating ceremony, my mother caught my soon-to-be mate Derek in a passionate embrace with my step-sister Scarlett. The anger triggered my mother's heart attack need a transplant surgery immediately

Fortunately, I was compatible with my mother for a heart transplant. I decided to give her my heart and use an artificial one instead.

Faced with the enormous cost of the surgery, Derek, my coward of a mate, vanished.

I went to beg my step-sister Scarlett, who had married an elderly but wealthy Alpha Marcus, for help. She claimed she didn't have enough cash, yet the next day she was showing off her new enchanted moonstone necklace.

In my darkest hour, Alexander Stone appeared. He was the most renowned healer and Marcus’s son，the future Alpha. He covered all the costs and offered to perform the surgery himself.

When I woke up, Alexander's face was filled with regret. He told me my mother had suffered a sudden rejection reaction during surgery and passed away.

He pulled my tear-stained face to his chest, declaring his love and begging me to let him care for me for eternity.

Seven years into our mating bond, I accidentally overheard his conversation with his beta:

"So you gave Sarah's heart to Scarlett instead, right in front of her mother? That was brutal, even for you."

"What could I do? Her heart matched Scarlett's perfectly."

"But we had already found a suitable donor heart! Scarlett only needed to wait half a day. Why were you so impatient?"

Alexander sighed, his voice heavy with emotion:

"I couldn't bear to see Scarlett suffer, not even for a second."

My fiancé secretly took the heart I had donated to my mother and had it transplanted into his stepmother instead.

Standing just outside the study door, I gripped the handle until my knuckles turned white, my whole body trembling.

The room next door, Alexander exhaled smoke rings, his tone barely concealing obscurity.

"Since I am bound by secular ethics and cannot be with my stepmother, I must protect Scarlett's safety for a lifetime."

Alexander's beta Kane spoke again, his voice troubled:

"But Sarah can't fully adapt to the artificial heart. She suffers from coughing up blood and chest pains constantly. She cannot sense her wolf and can't even carry pups."

"And don't forget - her artificial heart only has one month of life left. It needs to be replaced soon. Are you really going to make her endure the agony of surgery after surgery for the rest of her life? Sarah loves you so much. Give her heart back to her. You already have several backup donors lined up for Scarlett anyway."

Alexander's response was immediate and harsh:

"No! Every extra donor heart means more security for Scarlett's health. I won't take risks with her safety."

Kane grew agitated:

"What about Sarah? I still remember how her mother died, tears of blood on her face. Aren't you afraid Sarah will try to kill you when she learns
