_Leon’s POV_

I drove for hours without stopping.

The night slowly faded and the sky began to change. Dark blue turned to pale grey and then soft light spread across the horizon. I did not notice the time passing. I only knew that I had to get there. Every second felt too long. Every mile felt too slow.

My hands stayed tight on the steering wheel. My jaw was still locked. My mind kept replaying everything again and again. Anya’s face. Her tears. Her voice when she begged me to believe her.

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 30

    _Anya’s POV_The entire evening felt like something from a dream.After we returned from town, I stayed distracted by the strange woman from the jewelry shop. No matter how much I tried to push her words away, they kept returning to me.“You are blinded by trust and cannot see the truth.”The sentence echoed again and again inside my head.I stood near the bedroom window for a long time, staring outside at the darkening sky. The clouds were painted orange and pink by the setting sun and the wind moved softly through the trees around the mansion.Maya stirred quietly inside me. Stop thinking about that woman.“I am trying.”She was strange.“Yes.”And frightening.I wrapped my arms around myself slowly. “Do you think she was telling the truth?”Maya hesitated. I do not know.That answer did not comfort me. A knock sounded on the door before I could think further.“Come in,” I called softly.One of the maids entered with a smile. “Miss Anya, Alpha Jacob asked me to help prepare you for

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 29

    _Leon’s POV_The drive to Talia’s house felt endless. My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly that my knuckles turned white. Every part of me burned with humiliation and fury, yet I forced myself to keep driving.This was necessary.That was the only thought keeping me moving forward. I needed to do this for Anya.....for the truth.....for revenge.Shadow remained silent inside me but I could feel his rage simmering beneath the surface. He hated this just as much as I did.When I finally pulled into the driveway of Beta Taylor’s estate, I shut off the engine and sat there for several seconds, staring at the large house ahead of me.My jaw tightened. Then I forced myself out of the car and walked to the front door.There were no guards outside. The estate looked quiet, almost peaceful, which only made my anger worse. While my life was falling apart, they were inside resting comfortably.I knocked.A few moments later, the door swung open.Beta Taylor stood there. The moment he sa

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 28

    _Anya’s POV_I woke slowly to warmth.For a few soft and peaceful seconds, I did not remember where I was. My body felt heavy with sleep and wrapped in heat. There was something firm and warm pressed behind me. A strong arm was draped around my waist, holding me close against a broad chest. My head was resting against something solid and beneath my cheek, I could hear the slow and steady beat of a heart.My memories came back all at once and I remembered everything that had happened the night before. I remembered the attack, the masked men, the hands around my throat and Jacob bringing me to his room after saving me. Heat rushed to my face when I finally understood where I was. I was lying in Jacob’s bed.And somehow during the night, I had ended up curled completely into his arms.Maya purred happily inside me. We slept very well.“Be quiet,” I muttered silently.Jacob’s deep voice sounded near my ear. It was rough with sleep. “Talking to your wolf this early in the morning?”I froze

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 27

    _Anya’s POV_My vision was blurred from the lack of air and tears filled my eyes so heavily that I could barely see what was happening around me.Everything looked distorted. Shapes moved in shadows and flashes. My ears rang loudly and my chest burned with pain as I fought to drag air into lungs that would not obey me.Then suddenly the crushing weight above me vanished.The hands around my throat disappeared so fast that I gasped violently, rolling onto my side as I sucked in air in broken and painful breaths. My throat felt like it was on fire. Every inhale stabbed through me but I did not care. I could breathe again.The room exploded into chaos around me. Growls thundered through the darkness. Furniture crashed. A man screamed.I lifted my head weakly. I was still coughing and through my blurred vision I saw a massive black wolf tearing across the room like death itself.It was Jacob's wolf, Storm. His black fur gleamed in the moonlight pouring through the windows. His eyes glowe

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 26

    _Anya's POV_Even after we returned to the mansion, I could not stop thinking about what had happened in town.I tried to distract myself while the servants carried my shopping bags upstairs. I tried to focus when Mom Jess excitedly spoke about where each dress should be hung and which accessories would match which outfit. I nodded when she talked to me. I smiled when I was supposed to smile. I answered when she asked questions.But my thoughts were elsewhere. They kept circling back to the same things; the mirror, the dog and the missing shadow. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw them all over again.Maya was restless inside me. Something is wrong.I swallowed hard. “Maybe not. Maybe we are simply overthinking.”Then why did the dog react like that?“I do not know.”Why did you see that face?“I do not know.”Why did she have no shadow?I had no answer and that frightened me more than anything.By the time evening came, I had forced myself to calm down. I washed my face, changed int

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 25

    _Leon’s POV_The sting on my cheek burned long after my father’s hand left my face.For a moment, I could not even process what had happened. I simply stood there in silence, my head turned slightly to the side, my heartbeat pounding in my ears.My father had slapped me....in front of everyone.Humiliation burned through me so fiercely that it almost drowned out everything else.Slowly, I turned back to look at him.My father’s face was dark with fury. His chest rose and fell heavily as he glared at me like I was someone he no longer recognized.“I did not raise you to behave like this,” he said sharply. “What kind of disgraceful behavior was that?”I clenched my jaw but said nothing.He stepped closer, his voice growing harsher. “You are the future Alpha of this pack, Leon. One day these people will look to you for leadership, for guidance and for discipline. You are supposed to be a role model. And yet here you are, shoving your own fiancée to the ground in front of everyone like a
