_Anya's POV_

The guard kept pulling me forward and I struggled to keep up with him in the darkness. My heart was still racing from what had just happened outside. My mind could not stop thinking about Leon. He had been so close. He had seen me. And now I was being dragged away like I was something that needed to be hidden.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked again, my voice trembling as I tried to match his steps.

“These tunnels lead to the centre of the mansion,” the guard replied quickly. “The

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 42

    _Leon's POV_A while later, I heard movement downstairs. Voices drifted through the house followed by the sound of luggage being carried upstairs.Talia had arrived.I carefully placed the photograph back on my desk and walked out of my room. The moment I stepped into the hallway, I saw my parents and some servants helping Talia carry several bags toward the guest room beside mine.My mother smiled when she noticed me. "You're supposed to be resting."I shrugged slightly. "I was getting bored."Talia laughed softly. "That didn't take long."My father carried one of her suitcases into the room before setting it down near the bed. "There."He dusted off his hands. "Everything should be ready."Talia looked around the room with a pleased smile. "It looks perfect."My mother nodded. "If you need anything, just let us know.""Thank you."Talia genuinely looked happy. For a moment, everything seemed normal. My parents stayed a little longer. They helped her unpack before eventually leaving

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 41

    _Leon’s POV_The next few days passed slowly.Even though I was recovering physically, my memories remained frustratingly incomplete. Some mornings I woke up feeling hopeful, convinced that I was only one step away from remembering everything. Other mornings I felt trapped inside a stranger's life, surrounded by people who knew me while I barely knew myself.Small memories continued returning little by little. I remembered places, faces and voices. Sometimes I would suddenly remember a moment from my childhood. Other times I would remember a conversation that had happened years ago. But large pieces of my life were still missing.The dark-haired girl from the photograph remained stuck inside my mind. No matter how hard I tried to focus on other things, I could not stop thinking about her.Every day, Talia visited me and every time she brought flowers. She sat beside my bed and patiently showed me old photographs while explaining memories that I could no longer remember on my own.She

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 40

    _Anya's POV_My entire body locked up in panic the moment I heard Mom Jess calling my name."Anya!"The photograph almost slipped from my trembling fingers. My pulse exploded into a frantic rhythm. For one terrifying second, I simply stood there staring at the photograph while my mind raced wildly.Hide it.Maya's urgent voice echoed inside my head.Quickly.My hands moved before my brain could fully process what was happening. I folded the photograph and shoved it deep into my pocket. My heart hammered so hard that I could hear it pounding inside my ears. Then my eyes darted toward the empty frame lying on the floor.Panic rushed through me again. I did not have enough time to hang it back on the wall. The footsteps were getting closer."Anya?"Mom Jess sounded much nearer now.I quickly grabbed the broken frame and pushed it into a dusty corner beside the wall. It was not where it had originally fallen but it was the best I could do. Then I straightened and forced myself to breathe

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 39

    _Anya's POV_The next morning, I walked into the dining room feeling exhausted.Even though I had spent the entire night lying in Jacob's arms, I had barely slept at all. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the ritual room again. I saw the candles, the blood-covered symbols and the severed head lying in the center of that horrible pentagon. Then I saw Mom Jess standing in her doorway with that unsettling smile on her face and the dark red stain at the bottom of her nightgown. The images refused to leave my mind.Maya remained restless inside me. We know what we saw.I know.No matter what anyone says, we did not imagine it.I know that too.Unfortunately, knowing the truth and proving it were two very different things.When I entered the dining room, Jacob and Mom Jess were already seated at the table. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, making everything look warm and peaceful. It was such a normal scene that part of me wondered if the previous night had truly happened.Mom Je

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 38

    _Leon’s POV_The next few days passed in a blur, and no matter how hard I tried, I still could not remember most of my life. Every morning I woke up in the same hospital bed with the same questions filling my mind. Who was I? What had happened before the accident? And why did it feel like something important was missing?The doctors ran tests constantly. They checked my eyes, my reflexes and asked endless questions about names, dates and memories. Sometimes I remembered small things. I remembered my mother’s gentle hands combing my hair when I was a boy, her soft voice telling me stories of brave wolves and ancient forests until I fell asleep. I remembered my father carrying me through the woods on his back after I had run too far during my first chase. His presence had calmed my fear as he pointed out the safest paths under the moonlight. I remembered standing beside Talia during our engagement ceremony. But everything else felt broken. Large parts of my memories were simply gone.On

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 37

    _Leon’s POV_Darkness surrounded me completely.I felt like I was floating somewhere endless. There was no ground beneath me and no sky above me. My body felt strangely light, almost as if I no longer existed at all.Everything was silent. Then slowly…a sound reached me.“Leon!”The voice sounded far away....very far away. I frowned slightly while trying to focus. Who was calling me?“Leon!”The voice became louder this time. Then suddenly pain hit me.Agony exploded through my body without warning. My chest burned painfully. My head throbbed so hard that it felt like someone was splitting my skull apart. My ribs ached sharply every time I tried to breathe.I groaned weakly. The darkness around me started cracking apart slowly. Bright white light poured through the cracks.“Leon?”The voice sounded panicked now.My eyelids felt unbelievably heavy. I tried opening them but even that simple movement hurt. Slowly and painfully, my eyes finally fluttered open.Everything was white. The ce

    _Leon's POV_The next morning, I went straight to the guard quarters.I had barely slept that night. Every time I closed my eyes, I heard Talia’s voice again.In the drawer of her desk.Those words had followed me into the night and stayed there like a shadow over my thoughts.I could still hear th

    _Leon's POV_The restaurant was quiet and warm but I felt none of it.Soft golden lights hung from the ceiling. Red lanterns glowed in the corners. The smell of soy sauce, garlic and sweet spices filled the air. Plates clinked softly around us and low music played in the background. It should have

    _Anya’s POV_I walked slowly to the door. My heart was beating faster for no reason that I could explain. Maybe it was because I was still shaken by the dream. Maybe it was because I knew he was standing on the other side of the door.I placed my hand on the handle and opened it.The moment the doo

    _Anya's POV_At noon, a soft knock came at the door. I stood and opened it carefully.A young girl stood outside holding a tray.
