TESSA

It all happened so quickly; I barely had a moment to react before Frederick's fist connected with Alpha Hunter's cheek. The noise of the blow that collided with bone was excruciating.

I instinctively covered my mouth with my hand. Frederick's punch landed with such force that Alpha Hunter staggered to the side, his face turning away as he raised a hand to shield it.

Once I regained my composure,

"Alpha Hunter!"

My heart hammered against my ribcage as I noticed the blood at the corner of his lips and trickling from his nose. The sight drained all the energy from my legs in an instant.

My hand was lifted, just inches away from his face, when he grasped my wrist. "Let me help you-"

"Don't. I'm fine." Alpha Hunter said.

The frown that creased his forehead as he struggled to move his lips clearly showed just how painful it must be. I just saw it and could feel the pain; what about him who experienced it firsthand?

"Hey," He said softly. "I'm really fine."

I can tell my face is pr

    TESSAI watched Gabe weave his way toward Frederick. But with the crowd pressing in so tightly around him that it seemed to swallow him whole, it looked like Gabe had to drag Frederick out just to get a word in.A wave of anxiety coiled in my stomach as I stood there.And then, I couldn't help it anymore. I was just about to move after him when suddenly,“Oh no!” A maid’s startled voice sliced through the guests' conversation.I blinked, then looked down in disbelief at the splash of juice across the front of my dress. I hadn’t noticed the maid until she crashed into me and one of the glasses from the tray she was holding tipped, its contents splashed on me.For a moment, all I could do was stand there, staring at the ruin of silk.“I’m so sorry, miss.” The maid’s voice trembled as she set the tray aside and snatched up a clean cloth from the nearby table. Her hands shook slightly as she dabbed at the juice clinging to my arms. “I’m really, really sorry…”A few of the guests had tu

    TESSAMy heart skipped a beat when he leaned down, bringing our faces so close that I could feel the warmth of his breath against my lips. And then, as if he’d completely lost himself, Alpha Hunter tilted his head, closing the last inch between us. His mouth reached for mine.My whole body went rigid. But instinct took over before my mind could catch up. I shoved him hard enough in the chest to knock him back a step. His eyes flew open. A flicker of shock crossed his face as he staggered.“What the hell are you doing?” I snapped. My voice was rough with disbelief as I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. The spot he had almost claimed as his.I glared at him, feeling anger coiled tighter with every heartbeat.What the hell made him think he could just kiss me?Alpha Hunter blinked several times as if reality had just snapped back into place around him. “I’m so sorry,” he began, but the words felt empty. “I’m so sorry, Tessa. I- Fuck. I don’t even know what happened to me. I… l

    TESSA“So many guests tonight…” I murmured as I stepped out of Gabriel’s car.The lawn of the mansion was now dotted with guests’ cars and the entrance was already teeming with people. Gabe slid out of the driver’s seat and moved to stand at my side and together we took it all in. They might not have called upon every Alpha in Montavia, but this was no intimate gathering.Far grander than any of Frederick’s birthday parties that had come before. It made me wonder how they convinced him. He had never cared for lavish celebrations when it came to his own birthday. Frederick always preferred a small party with his friends from within and beyond the pack.It was Odette’s idea. This was the first event to be held at the mansion since they had claimed each other and I realized it was an unspoken announcement of their new positions as Alpha and Luna of the pack.“I think it’s already crowded inside. We’d better head in now rather than arrive later and end up becoming the center of attenti

    TESSAOnly a few hours remained until the party yet I still hadn’t managed to catch so much as a glimpse of Frederick. The mansion had been a whirlwind of activity all day, preparations overseen by Marina and Odette. Even on a day meant to be his, Frederick refused to take so much as a moment off. Daria said that he’d somehow found the time to go to the border just this morning.As for me, I’d left for the training grounds at first light. Grace made it clear that there was no justification for skipping drills just because of an event like this. She said people like us were little more than background figures and our presence at the celebration was hardly important enough to warrant a break from routine. I'm back at the cabin by dusk, sweat-damp and bone-tired. The space was quiet as I stepped in, made my way to my room. Daria hadn’t yet returned from the mansion.I glanced at the clock which showed six o’clock and wasted no time getting ready. I scrubbed myself clean, letting the

    TESSA“Tessa! Oh, what happened?” Daria gasped, rushing toward me, her voice trembling with panic.I had shifted back. My breaths tore from my lungs in ragged, uneven bursts and I had to clutch the doorframe just to keep from collapsing.I dared a glance over my shoulder toward the place I’d fled. He wasn’t following me. A wave of relief washed over me. I could hardly believe I’d made it back here at all.“Unless it's something truly urgent I don't think you should be running like that; it's dangerous. From the sounds I thought some rogues were trying to push through,” Daria murmured, her eyes scanning the darkness beyond me.My eyes widened at the word. Rogues. “Come on in. Tell me everything. You didn’t say where you were going and you left your phone behind on purpose, didn’t you?” Daria said, guiding me in with a firm hand on my back.The door clicked shut behind us. By the time we made it to the living room, I sank onto the couch. My eyes fell on my phone lying abandoned on the

  • ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET   Chapter 132

    TESSA“What do you mean?”It’s such a strange thing to say, to a woman he’s only just met, to anyone at all.Yet there’s not the slightest trace of hesitation on his face. My gaze flicks past him for an instant, drawn to the faint borderline just behind me. We’re beyond the pack’s territory now.And here I am, alone, with this man who claimed to be one of the pack’s guards.Then, as if a hidden door in my mind suddenly creaks open, a thought flooded: what if he’s lying? If he isn’t a guard… then who is he?I feel a chill slip down my spine as I step back.“You’re not a pack guard, are you?” The words fall from my mouth before I can stop them.From the very first moment we met I felt it; that subtle tug in my gut that told me something about him wasn’t right. My instincts have been screaming at me from the start. There’s something off about this man and I should have listened.Maybe it was his smile so gentle, or the way his eyes seemed to soften when they met mine that convinced me
