• Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 298 – Let my pride drive .… and let my fear take the wheel and crash the damn thing

  KATE’S POVThe restaurant was dark, lit only by the dim glow of the emergency lights that hummed quietly overhead. The chairs were still flipped upside down on the tables, the floor freshly mopped. Clean and empty but quiet. Just the way it should be.Neutral too.Which, I supposed, was why I picked it. Not home, not his place. Not even a cafe where polite smiles would mask gritted teeth. Just here – where we’d once shared early mornings, whispered laughter, burnt coffee, and chaos.Where I’d watched Daniel lean against that counter and smile at me like I was the only woman in the room.Now he was already sitting there when I walked in. Jacket off, sleeves rolled up, fingers laced on the table like he’d been practicing something.When his eyes found mine, he stood. Nervous. Huh, I guess he did have such a side to him.I don't even know why I agreed to this. Or rather, initiated it. It must have been something Sophia said. Dammit. She did always have a way with words.I looked at the m

• Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 297 – Good. Think Harder.

  DANIEL'S POVThe couch had a permanent imprint of my body. Three days. That’s how long it had been since I last saw Kate – three days, nine texts I didn’t send, and a voicemail I still hadn’t listened to because I knew it would make me do something stupid.I stared at my phone again. Not to text. Just to look.Her name was still pinned to the top.Still marked unread.Still there.I’d told her I’d give her space. That I wouldn’t push. That I respected her enough to let her breathe.I meant it but fuck.I just didn’t realize that space would feel like being locked in a room full of memories with no door out.Her laugh when she teased me about my lopsided tie.The soft way she said my name when I surprised her with lunch.The fire in her eyes when I said something dumb and deserved to be dragged.God, I missed her.The coffee in my hands had long gone cold, but I still held the mug like it was keeping me steady. The silence in my apartment was louder than the city traffic below, and I h

• Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 296 – Probably hovering like a sad golden retriever 

  SOPHIA'S POVThe late morning sun warmed the windshield as I pulled into the narrow lot behind the coffee shop, the engine ticking softly when I shut it off. The place was quiet, just as Kate liked it – low foot traffic, strong espresso, and a half decent almond croissant. Not as good as mine of course but it'll do. I understand why she wouldn't want to be at the restaurant right now. I spotted her through the glass before I even stepped inside.She sat near the back, hunched slightly over her mug, one finger circling the rim with absent precision. Her hair was twisted into a loose knot, and the bags under her eyes said she hadn’t slept much – if at all. I hesitated by the door. Kate rarely ever looked... unraveled. Reminded me about how a certain someone also looked…But I could also tell, this wasn’t just about Daniel. This was about everything.I walked in slowly, giving her a moment to notice me. She did – barely lifting her gaze, then blinking as though trying to register whethe

• Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 295 – She’s not just mad. She’s humiliated

  SOPHIA'S POVThe last time I saw Daniel look this unsettled, we were arguing over what outfit would be best for him to wear to a casual outing with a friend. He wanted to go with a hoodie and office pants and I told him that would be an absolute blunder. And even then, he still had that casual, unshakable Daniel-ness to him – smooth, charming, untouchable. That was before the whole Victoria thing happened. Things were simpler then.But now?Now, he looked like a man who’d run straight into a wall made of his own bad decisions.I stepped aside to let him in fully. He entered the foyer, casting a wary glance at Nathan, who still leaned in the doorway of the kitchen, arms crossed and expression unreadable. His presence had shifted – not threatening, but definitely not invisible. Protective and watching. I could tell he was very curious. Daniel shoved his hands in his coat pockets and turned to me, mouth opening, then closing again.“Okay,” I said, arms folding across my chest. “What hap

• Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!    Chapter 294 – I'm just admiring the view

  SOPHIA'S POVThe sun streamed lazily through the sheer curtains, golden light spilling across the bed like honey. Warmth seeped into every corner of the room, touching the pale sheets, dusting Nathan’s bare chest with a soft glow.I traced the line of his collarbone with a fingertip, light as a feather, watching his eyes flutter open beneath thick lashes. His arm tightened around my waist instinctively, pulling me closer until our bodies aligned once more, skin against skin.“Good morning.” I whispered, my voice husky with sleep and something more.His eyes found mine – stormy grey, softened now, unrushed and wholly mine. Oh beautifully mine. “I don’t think I’ve ever liked those words more.” He murmured, voice rough with satisfaction and something tender.I smiled, burying my face in the crook of his neck. His scent lingered – cedar and pine and something only Nathan could ever possess. Last night still shimmered in the air around us. My body ached in all the best ways, pleasantly sor

• Alpha's Regret: Mommy, Daddy, We Want to Be Together!   Chapter 293 – I'll love you until I'm dust in the wind

  SOPHIA'S POVHis breath was hot against my skin.The air between us crackled, electric and alive, like a wire had snapped and all that raw, waiting energy had nowhere to go but here. Into this moment. Into us.He said my name like a promise.“Sophia…”His voice was low, rough, like he was scraping against the edges of restraint. I felt it more than I heard it, vibrating in my chest as his hands anchored at my hips, firm and unyielding. I was still sat on the kitchen table, my bare legs wrapped loosely around his waist, his body pressed into mine like we had never been apart.I looked into his eyes – those stormy gray eyes that once frightened me with how easily they could turn to ice. Now they were molten. Burning. Hungry.“You’re mine.” He said, voice like thunder wrapped in silk. “Do you know that?”My breath hitched. “Yes.”He leaned in slowly, deliberately. “Say it Sophia.”“I’m yours.”His hands tightened, just enough for me to feel the pressure of his need, of the desire he held
