ALPHA'S REGRET: THE LUNA HE UNDERESTIMATED IS A QUEEN 8 - CROWN PRINCESS
Kael stood in the doorway of the freezing guest room, unsure if he should step inside.The sun had barely broken over the horizon, casting long, gray shadows across the floorboards. Tobias was pacing at the foot of the narrow bed. The Alpha looked like he had not slept in days. His hair was a mess, and his breathing was shallow and uneven.Kael glanced at the nightstand. A heavy silver Luna ring sat neatly on top of a folded piece of paper."Find her," Tobias ordered.His voice cracked. He stopped pacing and looked at Kael with wild, bloodshot eyes. "Take your best men and track her down right now."Kael gave a slow nod. He had served as Grimclaw’s lead tracker for five years. He knew these woods better than anyone. "When did she leave, Alpha?""Last night," Tobias said. He rubbed his hands over his face, looking exhausted. "Late. She didn't take a coat, Kael. It dropped below freezing at midnight. She is out there on foot."Kael kept his expression neutral, but his mind was already c
ALPHA'S REGRET: THE LUNA HE UNDERESTIMATED IS A QUEEN 7 - SEVERING
I turned away from the locked door and walked down the hall. The guest room was freezing when I stepped inside. I didn't bother turning on the lights.I sat on the edge of the mattress and listened to the muffled voices echoing from Tobias's study down the corridor. I knew what they were discussing. I knew Elder Eloise was wearing him down, using the pack's empty treasury as a weapon to force his hand.I reached into the small drawer of the bedside table. Earlier today, when I brought my few belongings into this room, I placed a folded piece of paper inside. It was a formal severance document. I drafted it a year ago after a particularly brutal argument with the elders, though I never actually thought I would use it.I grabbed a pen and signed my name at the bottom.I laid the paper flat on the nightstand and waited in the dark.Hours passed. The voices down the hall eventually stopped. Footsteps approached my room, pausing just outside.The door opened slowly. Tobias stood in the doo
ALPHA'S REGRET: THE LUNA HE UNDERESTIMATED IS A QUEEN 6 - PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE
THIRD PERSON'S POVTobias stared at the crackling fire in his study, wishing the flames were loud enough to drown out the sound of Elder Eloise’s voice.He paced the length of the worn rug, rubbing the back of his neck. His muscles ached from a profound lack of sleep. His chest felt tight, a steady pressure that had not left him since the moment Lily burst through the packhouse doors."You are delaying the inevitable," Eloise said.She sat in the high-backed leather chair near the desk, her posture perfectly straight. She did not raise her voice. She didn't need to. Every word she spoke carried the weight of the traditionalist council."I need time," Tobias muttered. He stopped pacing and leaned his hands on the mantle, staring down into the fire. "You are asking me to annul my mating.""I am asking you to be an Alpha," Eloise corrected sharply. "Look at the ledgers on your desk, Tobias. The Riverbend merchants took three and a half crates of our best pelts today, and we barely got en
ALPHA'S REGRET: THE LUNA HE UNDERESTIMATED IS A QUEEN 5 - ANNUL
She looked past him and saw me standing there with the papers in my hand.Lily let out a sharp, ragged gasp. She stumbled backward, hitting the doorframe. She wrapped her arms around her stomach and slid down the wood until she hit the floor."Please," she cried, squeezing her eyes shut. She put her hands over her ears and started shaking violently. "Don't yell. Please don't be angry with me. I didn't mean to cause trouble."I hadn't raised my voice once.The two guards stationed down the hall shifted on their feet. They looked at Lily trembling on the floor, and then they looked at me. Their expressions shifted from neutral to disgust. I could see it in their eyes—they thought I was standing here screaming at a traumatized, grieving mother."Lily, hey, look at me," Tobias said.He dropped to his knees beside her and scooped her up into his arms. She buried her face in his chest, sobbing quietly."I'm sorry," she whimpered into his shirt. "Make her stop.""I've got you," he murmured.
ALPHA'S REGRET: THE LUNA HE UNDERESTIMATED IS A QUEEN 4 - LACK OF SYMPATHY
"I can offer you three crates of winter pelts for the grain," I told the merchant sitting across from me.He leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms over his chest. "Four. And we want the Alpha's seal on the final agreement. My Alpha won't accept a trade of this size on a Luna's word alone."I looked at the empty chair at the head of the long wooden table. Tobias should have been sitting there. He should have been the one looking the Riverbend merchant in the eye, securing the food our people needed to survive the coming freeze. Instead, he was locked in the Alpha suite down the hall.I understood why the pack was letting him hide.The Goddess's Penance was a horrific thing. When a pregnant wolf lost a child, the Moon Goddess did not let the trauma fade quietly into the past. For five years, on the exact anniversary of the loss, the mother was cursed to relive the miscarriage. The bleeding, the blinding pain, the hysterical grief—it all returned in a violent physical wave as if
ALPHA'S REGRET: THE LUNA HE UNDERESTIMATED IS A QUEEN 3 - MOVING OUT
The air in the room was suffocating. I stood perfectly still, waiting for Tobias to correct the elder. I waited for him to demand respect for his Luna, or at least ask Eloise to step outside while the healers worked.Tobias swallowed hard. He looked away from me."Eloise, stay with her for a minute," Tobias said quietly.He stood up from the bed. Lily whined and tried to grab his hand again, but he gently pulled away. He walked toward me, his shoulders slumped."Zinnia," he muttered. "Come with me for a second."He didn't wait for my answer. He walked out of the clinic.I followed him into the dim, quiet hallway. The moment the door clicked shut behind us, the silence felt heavy. Tobias leaned his back against the stone wall. He scrubbed his hands over his face, leaving streaks of Lily’s blood on his own skin.I crossed my arms over my chest to stop my hands from shaking."Are you going to tell me what she meant?" I asked. My voice was low. "About the baby, Tobias."He squeezed his ey
