"Are you enjoying the surprise I prepared for you, Alpha?" Monica questioned, her voice filled with a hint of intrigue.
Alpha Matt was taken aback, admiring the romantically set scene that his mate had planned just for him.
With an affectionate gesture, Matt drew Monica closer, wrapping his arms around her waist, ensuring that she was pressed firmly against him.
"Anything that comes from you, my mate, is beautiful and precious to me," he professed with heartfelt sincerity.
A smile played upon Monica's lips, her heart warmed by the knowledge that the scene she had envisioned and executed, with the help of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, was pleasing to her Alpha. The evening was off to the perfect start.
Together, Alpha and Monica made their way to the table, and after Matt had seen to Monica's comfort, he too settled into his seat.
Soon after they were seated, dinner was served—a feast consisting of meat, salad, and even oysters, renowned for their aphrodisiac qualities.
For dessert, Monica had selected strawberries dipped in chocolate to lift the spirits further, accompanied by a delicious red wine.
The sight of the food sparked a gleam in Matt's eyes—partly because he never restrained himself when it came to savoring good food, and also because he was aware of the aphrodisiac effects of some dishes. This awareness thrilled him, suggesting that his mate had purposefully included such items as a hint that she might be ready to take the next step in their relationship. If this was indeed the case, he was more than willing and pleased to oblige.
Dinner proceeded without incident; both of them thoroughly enjoyed the meal and conversation. But as they finished, Monica knew the moment of truth had arrived. She understood that she could no longer avoid it—as inevitably, the truth would come out. She preferred that Matt learn about their past from her directly.
"Matt, I need to tell you something, and after you hear it, I want to know if you still wish for us to become one," Monica began seriously, her voice heavy with emotion. "I am certain that I want to share my life with you, but I can't live in peace without being honest about our past and having you accept me—with all my virtues and my blunders."
Hearing his name uttered so solemnly by his mate, Matt sensed the gravity of the upcoming conversation. But he believed that whatever the concern, it must have a solution. He could not fathom parting with the beautiful woman before him, destined for him by the gods.
"My mate, for you, I would traverse the ends of the earth. The only thing that could separate us is if you asked me to leave. Other than that, I dream of raising many pups with you and growing old together," he declared, his voice unwavering.
Monica's heart constricted with emotion, regretting her foolishness in her past life for not recognizing the value of the great man destined to be her partner. Now, more than ever, she wished to atone for her earlier mistakes, which had not only ruined her own first life but also wrought destruction upon the life of the Alpha Supreme and their families, their territory, and perhaps even the whole world—if not for the gods granting her the chance to turn back time.
As she began her confession, Monica recounted gratefully how she was given the power by the gods to turn back time at the moment of her near-death at the hands of the man she had loved in her former life—a man willing to sacrifice everything for her.
Matt found it hard to believe that someone could turn back time, but he was aware of the great power his mate held, which led to her being crowned Queen of the Witches. Understandably, he was staggered by the revelation, yet it did not seem altogether impossible. However, along with his amazement, a surge of fury rose within him—toward the fool who had tried to take his mate's life, vowing that given the chance, not a trace of that man's existence would remain in this world for having dared to harm his mate.
Continuing her story with trepidation, Monica detailed her past life's events, her initial rejection of Matt, the extent of his suffering, and the moment she realized the true intentions of Richard—the torment he brought upon her family and territory, and how Matt had ultimately sacrificed his life to save hers. She explained how, after witnessing his death for her sake, she reversed time itself.
As Monica recounted her harrowing past, tears streamed down her face, the weight of her parents' deaths, her brother's and her sister's anguish causing her heart to shatter all over again.
"Matt, I know I have no excuse for the pain I caused you in our first life, nor can I demand forgiveness," she confessed through sobs. "But ever since you gave your life for mine, my eyes have been opened. Getting to know you, I realized it has always been you—the sole keeper of my heart. If you grant me a chance to be a part of your life, I will dedicate every remaining moment of mine to making you happy and atoning for all the pain my stubborn blindness inflicted upon you."
