TESSA

I could see how hard Dad tried to remain strong and composed, but as soon as he was just a step away from Mom, his guard came down. Dad let himself collapse into Mom's arms, who was just as stunned as I was. This was the first time we saw Dad revealing his vulnerable side to us.

"Take a deep breath, Rowan..." Mom leaned in and whispered while she gently ran her fingers through Dad's hair.

Blood dripped from the gashes on his temple, running down to his cheek. Mom cleaned it up.

"I failed," Dad whispered.

"No. Don't say it. We can get through this."

"No. This time I have failed you. My pack members... our family..."

I felt my hands tighten at that. I rip my eyes away from the scene. Seeing Dad in his weak state, and Mom, who felt just as lost, I couldn't contain my sadness.

I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. And I know if I stick around any longer, I'll end up crying my heart out. But I need to keep my strength up. For them. Someone has to hold it together.

  • ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET   Chapter 51

    FREDERICKThe Ashwood Pack.I stare at the formidable and secure pack border, my warriors patrolling the area. The evening breeze brushed against my face, bringing a calming feeling after a long, exhausting day.There's a lot to catch up on after just a few days away from my pack. The border area has always been my favorite spot to relax. I find a sense of comfort here that I can't seem to find at home, even with my family around.Suddenly, a voice came from behind, "Alpha. We’ve found her. And we have brought her here."I turned around. One of my gammas, Collins, stood there.My fist tightens at the news. A strange wave of uncontrolled emotion washed over me, making me clench my jaw.What's this? A sense of satisfaction that Tessa was finally found after two days of searching? Or is it anger because now I have to confront her after she tried to escape from me?I gave a nod in response. "Good job, Collins."As soon as I got to the mansion that night, I had Collins and two other gamma

    TESSAMom's face shifted to one of disbelief, then slowly transformed into disappointment. I could only watch as she seemed so eager to refuse, yet deep down, she understood there was nothing she could do. After Frederick sent his warriors to help Dad and Dante, we were not in a position to turn him down any longer."I want to speak with you alone," I said.“Sure,” Frederick responded promptly. Mom frowned, looking a bit concerned. But I gave her hand a quick squeeze and offered a comforting smile. After that, I followed Frederick out of the dining room.I don't want Mom to find out what I was planning to say to this man. She wouldn't approve of my manner towards him, and I know she'd be sad if she discovered how he treated me."Why do you want to leave so suddenly? You mentioned that we're heading out tomorrow night. I still need to take care of some things at the hospital." I said. And I’d like to stay here tonight and keep Mom company.But I suppose Frederick was aware and chose

    TESSADays went by. And Dante hadn't said a word to me. He figured he was too busy and hardly had time to talk to anyone. But I knew he was intentionally steering clear of me because he was mad. He was mad because I took Frederick's offer.A maid walked into the study, "They're all heading to the border right now." Mom and I got up from the couch and headed straight to the front yard.Today, our warriors will head into battle once more. The battle against those rogues trying to take over our land. This time, it's not only our warriors who are heading out. As I looked at the faces of the men, a few of them seemed familiar.They're the warriors of the Ashwood Pack. Frederick's pack members who have arrived since yesterday.Frederick really kept his promise. And I just can't decide if I should feel happy or not."Promise me you come back to us safely, Rowan," Mom told Dad. He grasped her hand and held it tightly. I could sense the weight on Mom's heart as she had to send her mate off

    TESSAFor a second, I caught a glimpse of absurdity, as if he regretted his words. Frederick extended his hand, but I quickly pushed it aside before he could touch my face."That's unnecessary, you know. Especially since you're going to stay in my pack, it's better to keep your manners-""I don't care." I cut him off.What would he do if I acted out? Locked me in the dungeon? Humiliated me in front of all his pack members? I don't care anymore. Being back in that pack is the worst part. I'm sure I can manage whatever comes next.He stayed still.So I blurted out, "What do you want now?"Isn't it enough for him to know that we accepted his offer? Did he have to interrupt my moments with my family before I leave this pack? “Get out of my way. I wanted to meet my brother.""Your brother? I don't think he's here right now."Damn it. I forgot that Dante had already left since morning."I just wanted to make sure that you followed through on what you were meant to do. If you're sure, you'

  • ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET   Chapter 47

    TESSAI watch Dad's wolf wandering around the front yard, moving slowly, unlike how he usually does. It felt like he was pulling his weight instead of running freely. There's no wound on his body, but it's clear to me that he has injuries inside.Rowan Black's wolf was a massive and formidable beast, feared by enemies on the battlefield, but today I felt like I saw a completely different wolf. He's hurting, but he doesn't want to let anyone see it.My stomach twisted with a mix of sadness and anger as I clutched the balcony rail tightly. One of the guards came over to Dad to assist since he had now fallen to the ground.But the wolf emitted a low, guttural sound, causing the guard to take a step back in fear. Dad got back on his feet right away.I let out a sigh. He hasn't recovered yet. I know there's no way he'll win the fight when the rogues show up.I headed downstairs, and by the time I got to the training yard, Dad had already shifted back into his human form. "Nika? Come over

    TESSAAs night descended, after the dinner, Dad called together all his warriors and the pack's fighters to gather in the study. They'll discuss the new strategy to be used if the rogues dare to break into the heart of the Stormhowl pack, the Black Mansion.Mom joined the meeting as well. I initially pushed to be part of it, but Dante wouldn't allow me to. He also ordered the guards stationed at the entrance of the study to ensure that I wouldn't enter."Shit," I muttered a curse as I glared at the closed door. I deserve to know what they talked about. I'm part of this pack too. The doctor. It's my duty to keep my pack members safe.But Dad and Dante still see me as a kid even now. A kid who really shouldn't be part of this situation. This really frustrates me. Suddenly, a thought popped into my mind. The hospital.If Dante and the others are tied up in this meeting, they likely won't realise if I slip out of the mansion tonight to head to the hospital. Since they didn't allow me t

    TESSAWhen I finally opened my eyes again, it felt as if I had been asleep for centuries. I felt so drained, no energy left. My head was spinning, and my vision was all hazy in a very unusual way.I rubbed the bridge of my nose to ease the dizziness I was feeling. Next to my bed was an IV pole, but the liquid inside the bag was red. I rolled up my sleeve and saw the red liquid flowing through a tube into my body."Oh, Princess, you're finally awake," Mila hurried over to me. She pressed her hand to her chest, clearly relieved to see me. Mila caught my puzzled look at the tube and said, "You need a blood transfusion since you've lost quite a lot."I frowned.Is this the reason I feel so weak?"What happened to me?"My memory served me nothing, and as I attempted to piece together what occurred, all that came to mind was the argument I had with Dante in my office. "You got attacked," Mila replied, her expression contorted with sympathy. "By whom?"“Those creatures, Princess. Fortunate

  • ALPHA, I'll BE YOUR REGRET   Chapter 43

    FREDERICKI freeze in place as I take in the sight before me. Now I understand why Nyx was so restless and urged me to get here immediately. Because a monster managed to enter this territory and now tried to attack Tessa, our mate.In a flash, I allowed Nyx to take control and charged at the hideous creature attempting to scratch Tessa's face. I pinned the creature down, lifting my claws high, and slashed at its face. The creature let out a chilling, tormenting wail as its blood sprayed across my fur. Before coming to a complete stop, lifeless.I spun around. Tessa sprawled on the ground, unmoving. My heart sank.As I got closer, she finally moved, lifting her hand just slightly. Her gaze fixed on the shredded body of the creature before shifting her attention to me. "You..." Her voice faded away. I meet her eyes, trying to tell she has no reason to be afraid now that in here.The way her shoulders rose and fell, along with her wildly racing heartbeat, made it clear just how fright
