Hazel’s POV

We both turned, and my heart nearly stopped when I saw who it was.

Uma.

She hadn’t changed much at all—she’d just acquired a more mature bearing, the confidence that came with experience and responsibility, but those sharp healer’s eyes were exactly the same, and right now they were fixed on me with unmistakable suspicion.

My chest squeezed tight. This was my best friend. My only real friend. And she was looking at me like I might be a threat to my own son.

Uma walked quickly over, her lips pressed into a thin line and her eyes never leaving Liam as she positioned herself between him and me.

“I asked you a question,” she said sternly. “Who are you and why are you here alone with this child?”

Before I could formulate an answer that wouldn’t give me away, Liam excitedly dashed toward Uma, grinning so wide it nearly split his face.

“Uma!” he called out, practically launching himself at her. “Look what I did! This is my new friend Mila—she’s amazing! She taught me how to hit th

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 31: Unsettling Revelations

    Ulysses’s POVAs we rounded the corner toward the eastern training grounds, the sound of children’s laughter drifted through the evening air. It was a rare occurrence these days—most of the pack’s young ones had become more subdued as the war with Jacob’s forces intensified.But tonight, genuine joy echoed from the play area behind the buildings.I followed the sound, curious to see what had lifted the children’s spirits. What I found made me stop in my tracks.There, in the center of a group playing hopscotch, was Liam.My son was actually laughing—a bright, carefree sound I hadn’t heard from him in months. His whole face glowed with happiness as he hopped from square to square, completely absorbed in the game.His movements were lighter than I’d seen them in ages, like some invisible weight had been lifted from his small shoulders.When had I last seen him look so genuinely joyful?The moment Liam spotted me approaching, he abandoned the game entirely and came running toward me with

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 30: A Mind Divided

    Ulysses’s POVI walked through the pack territory like a man haunted, my boots scuffing against the worn stone paths as I tried to focus on my patrol duties, but my mind kept circling back to that hypnotherapy session like a vulture returning to carrion.What the hell had I been thinking, exposing myself like that?My hands trembled as I gripped the fence post at the training grounds. The wood was rough under my palms, grounding me in the present moment, but it couldn’t stop the memories from flooding back.I’d revealed too much. Shown too much weakness to that woman—Mila.She’d seen straight through every defense I’d built over six years, straight to the pathetic truth I’d been hiding from everyone, including myself.She’d witnessed the depth of my obsession with Hazel, the way guilt gnawed at my insides like acid, how losing her had left me fundamentally broken.A cold sweat broke out across my forehead. If word got out that the strong, decisive Alpha was actually a mess of regret an

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 29: Old Bonds and New Dangers

    Hazel’s POV“Enough about my family drama,” I said, forcing my voice to lighten as I settled back onto the bed.The conversation about Kimberley and my parents had left me drained, and I needed something positive to focus on.“What about you? Tell me everything I’ve missed. Please tell me some wonderful man has been smart enough to pursue the most amazing healer in all the territories.”Uma’s cheeks flushed pink immediately, the color spreading down her neck and disappearing beneath the collar of her tunic. She looked down at her hands, suddenly fascinated by her short, practical fingernails.“My romantic life has been pretty nonexistent,” she mumbled, her voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve been so focused on work, on taking care of Liam, on just…urviving each day.”“Come on.” I nudged her shoulder playfully, grinning despite everything we’d just discussed. “You’re brilliant, beautiful, and the best healer this pack has ever had. There has to be someone who’s caught your eye.”Uma’s b

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 28: Filling Me In

    Hazel’s POVUma touched at her cheek with the tips of her fingers, her brow furrowed in confusion. She rubbed at a spot near her temple like she was trying to erase something invisible.“What are you staring at?” she asked, tilting her head again. “Is there something on my face? A mark or a scar I don’t know about?”Damn. I’d been too obvious comparing her features to Elena’s, searching for the similarities that had struck me so forcefully.“Nothing’s wrong,” I said quickly, forcing my lips into what I hoped was a reassuring smile. “After being separated for six years, I’m just trying to memorize every detail of seeing you again. I was afraid I’d forgotten what you looked like.”Uma’s shoulders relaxed slightly, but her eyes still held a flicker of doubt. She’d always been perceptive, even as children. It was part of what made her such a good healer.“God, Hazel.” She ran both hands through her hair, messing it up. “I still can’t believe you’re really here. Do you know what this place

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 27: The Revelation

    Hazel’s POVUma’s eyes darted around the room like a cornered animal searching for escape routes. Her pupils dilated with fear, and I could see the rapid pulse beating in her throat.She slowly lowered the dagger. She didn’t put it away—just held it ready while watching me with wary eyes.“You have thirty seconds,” she said tersely. “Then I’m calling for help.” A thin sheen of sweat had broken out across her forehead.My hands shook violently. Six years of dreaming about this moment, and now that it was here, terror threatened to overwhelm me.“I’ve been dreaming about this moment for six years,” I whispered, my voice thick with tears that were already starting to fall.“What moment? What are you talking about?” Uma’s free hand pressed against the wall behind her, as if she needed the support to stay upright.Instead of explaining with words, I started peeling away the magical glamour from my chin. The material felt strange under my fingers—not quite solid, not quite liquid, but someth

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 26: Medical Consultation

    Hazel’s POVUma straightened at once, her whole body coming alive the instant she learned she might help. The healer in her that I remember so well surged forward, intently focused on me now.“What kind of symptoms are we dealing with?” she asked eagerly, leaning in slightly.This was my chance. I needed to sound convincing but not too rehearsed.“There’s this patient back where I was working,” I said, making my voice sound frustrated. “Drives me crazy because I can’t figure him out. Every full moon, he transforms fine, but afterward? Complete mess.”Uma’s brow furrowed with interest. “How so?”“He can’t sleep for days afterward. Just lies there staring at the ceiling, completely wired.” I shook my head like it genuinely puzzled me. “And even in human form, he’s jumpy. Reacts to every little sound like something’s hunting him.”“Hmm,” Uma muttered, her eyes darting slightly as though running through options in her head before settling back on me. “Sounds like his wolf is having trouble
