_Anya's POV_

I closed the bathroom door behind me and leaned against it for a moment, allowing myself to finally breathe.

The sound of running water slowly filled the room, creating a quiet space away from everyone else. For the first time that day, I was completely alone.

There was no Mom Jess.....no Jacob.....no pretending that everything was normal. My fingers slowly moved toward my pocket and my heart immediately tightened.

The photograph.

I still had it.

I carefully pulled it out and stare

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 47

    _Anya's POV_The world seemed to stop. For several seconds, I could only stare at her. I was unable to process what I had just heard.My mother.The word felt strange and unfamiliar. It was almost impossible.I had spent so many years accepting that I would never know where I came from. I had forced myself to believe that the questions inside my heart did not matter anymore. That my past was something I had to leave behind.But now, the woman standing in front of me was telling me that the one person I had spent my entire life wondering about was right here. A mother I had never known....someone I thought I would never find.My eyes moved toward the baby in her arms. The child looked so peaceful and completely unaware of the pain and secrets surrounding her existence.My heart tightened.Was that really me?Was that the beginning of my story?Emily looked at me with tears in her eyes, as if she could feel every question running through my mind."There were reasons you could not know t

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 46

    _Anya's POV_I closed the bathroom door behind me and leaned against it for a moment, allowing myself to finally breathe.The sound of running water slowly filled the room, creating a quiet space away from everyone else. For the first time that day, I was completely alone.There was no Mom Jess.....no Jacob.....no pretending that everything was normal. My fingers slowly moved toward my pocket and my heart immediately tightened.The photograph.I still had it.I carefully pulled it out and stared at the old piece of paper in my hands. The edges were slightly bent from being folded and hidden away but the image was still clear enough for me to see every detail.The woman....the baby in her arms....the strange resemblance that I could not explain.My fingers trembled slightly as I looked at the picture. The baby looked so small and innocent. There was something about the image that made my chest ache every time I saw it. I did not understand why I felt this way. I had never met that chil

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 45

    _Anya's POV_I was still standing near the window, my fingers resting against the folded photograph hidden inside my pocket, when I heard footsteps approaching from the hallway. My entire body immediately stiffened. The sound was familiar. A voice followed moments later."Anya?"My heart jumped. It was Jacob.I quickly pulled my hand away from my pocket as if the photograph had burned me. I did not know why I was suddenly so afraid of him seeing it, but something inside me told me that I could not let him find it....not yet.I looked toward the door. The photograph was still hidden inside my clothes. If Jacob saw it, he would immediately ask questions.Where did you get this?Why were you in the west wing again?Why did you go against my warning?And I had no answer that would not reveal the truth. I could not tell him that I had returned to the ruined hallway. I could not tell him that I was looking for clues concerning the mystery surrounding Mom Jess. Especially not after he had al

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 44

    _Leon's POV_The sound broke the silence. Talia froze. A second later, my mother's voice came from outside."Leon?"My eyes widened slightly. "Come in."The door opened and my mother stepped inside with a warm smile on her face."Are you taking your medicine?"The moment she entered the room, I noticed something. Talia looked frightened. Her expression changed so quickly that someone else might have missed it but I saw it clearly.Why?Why would my mother entering the room scare her?Before I could think about it further, Talia quickly placed the glass back onto the table and turned toward my mother with a calm smile."Of course."Her voice sounded perfectly normal again."We were just about to take it."My mother's eyes moved between Talia and me for a moment before she smiled warmly."Good. I was worried because you need to recover properly."I nodded. "Of course."But inside, my thoughts were moving quickly. I could not let my mother notice anything was wrong...not yet. I did not h

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 43

    _Leon's POV_Talia walked toward me with the glass of water in her hand, a gentle smile resting on her face."Here," she said softly. "Take these first. You will feel better once the medicine starts working."I stared at the glass for a moment. The clear liquid looked completely harmless. Anyone else would have seen nothing unusual. They would have trusted the woman standing in front of them. They would have believed that their fiancée was simply trying to take care of them after a serious accident.But I had seen what happened. The image of the small packet in her hand refused to leave my mind. I could still picture the white powder dissolving into the water and the careful way she had looked around first, making sure no one noticed what she was doing.But what troubled me even more was the fear that had crossed her face when I mentioned the name Anya. That reaction had been too strong, too sudden, and it told me that there was something she was hiding from me. My thoughts became a

  • 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 7

    _Anya’s POV_The moment I stepped inside the mansion, I felt smaller than I ever had before.The entrance hall was enormous. The floor beneath my feet was polished stone so smooth that it caught the light from the high chandeliers above and threw it back in pale gold. The ceiling was so high that I

    _Anya’s POV_The car moved smoothly but I felt anything but calm. I sat stiffly against the leather seat, trying to keep as much distance as possible between myself and Alpha Jacob, even though there was not much room. Every time the car turned, I became more aware of him beside me. He was too clo

  • Alpha Leon's Regret    Chapter 4

    _Anya’s POV_The guards dragged me across the yard as if I were nothing. I kept stumbling because I was still weak from the rejection and everything that had happened since last night.
