Noah's POV

I am so excited for my birthday tomorrow, and the best part is that I am celebrating it with the people who actually showed me what being loved feels like.

Though I am a little sad because Ethan and Mia are out of town for some work and will return after 3 to 4 days.

I just had my dinner as I had to take my medications that I had hidden from everybody. Of course nobody knows that I am taking therapy, and I had asked Dr. Hades to keep it a secret.

Why do I keep it a secret, you ask? Well, it makes me look weaker than I would like to be looked at.

I already hate the fact that people know I have a trauma against Alpha pheromones. Of course, not all of them know, but a lot of them do, much to my liking.

I hate being weak the most. Of course, it is my sensitive point since, all my life, I have been treated as a weakling.

But I had to change it, and I have taken the proper measures now that I am a little more comfortable about accepting myself.

I've started training myself and increasing my stamina and strength as much as possible.

I just had a refreshing shower to calm my nerves as I think of tomorrow's special surprise that I have been waiting for a long time to do.

Just imagining how happy, shocked, excited, and proud my mate would be makes me go all fizzy-dizzy all over.

As I stand in front of the mirror, my smile completely wipes off my face as I see my body, and it gives me a hard slap with the reality check of my situation.

Of course, my mate would hate this shit. My body as it is isn't really attractive, and to top it all, all these scars that litter my body are just equally ugly.

What was I even excited for? I am just going to enjoy this for as long as it exists. It is all nice to have our bond, but only until it is all external.

Once he gets to know me from the inside, I'm sure he is going to reject me.

Yes, our relationship has gotten better since I started therapy, but this thought hasn't left me. He is definitely going to reject me once he sees my body and knows how broken I am.

He is definitely going to be disappointed and disgusted by what he sees once he gets to know me inside and out.

I have been preparing myself to my best to get ready for the rejection since the day I decided to be with Aldric for the time being so that I do not feel guilty or bad for not trying.

Don't talk about rejection. Jay growled at me.

Jay has been very edgy as of recently because he believes our mates will love us no matter what, and all he wants is to mate with them.

He has also barely talked to me because I begged Aunt Katty to help me push my heat cycle for as long as I want.

Thankfully, it does not harm me too much, but it affects our bond a little.
