Hazel’s POV

The night stretched endlessly before me.

I sat in my guest quarters—my prison, really—staring at my reflection in the ornate mirror mounted above the vanity. The gold-leafed frame was elaborate and beautiful, like everything else in this suffocating room.

My real face looked back at me. No longer hidden behind Elena’s careful glamour or disguised as the confident hypnotherapist Mila. Just me. Just Hazel. The woman everyone thought was a monster.

The silver burns had faded somewhat since the banquet. No longer the angry white blisters that had appeared when the wine first hit my skin. Now they were red marks scattered across my cheeks and forehead, still tender and visible.

I raised my trembling hand and traced the marks carefully. The skin beneath was hot and sensitive, each touch sending little sparks of pain radiating outward. This was what everyone had seen when the glamour dissolved.

I looked tired, older than my twenty-seven years. The silver burns emphasized the hollo

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 85: The End

    Hazel’s POVThe battle began at dawn on the eastern border with precision. Jacob’s forces hit Yves’s positions with overwhelming aggression that looked like an all-out invasion.I watched from the shadows near the main gate as Yves took the bait immediately. Screaming orders. Pulling every available warrior east to meet the threat.His hatred of Jacob overrode his tactical sense completely. He didn’t question the timing. Didn’t wonder why his enemy would launch such an obvious frontal assault.Within hours, Thunderstrike’s center was nearly undefended.I moved through the pre-dawn darkness with Zack and our sixty loyalists. My heart hammered against my ribs. My hands were slick with sweat inside my gloves.We’d armed ourselves with whatever weapons we could smuggle. Some had proper swords and bows. Others carried farming implements or kitchen knives.It was pathetic compared to a real army, but it would have to be enough.The first clash came at the main gate where Yves had left a toke

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 84: Hidden Strength

    Hazel’s POVI knelt beside Ulysses’s bed in the hidden chamber where loyalists had moved him after the coup. The room was small and damp. Underground. Safe.The silver wound in his chest had stopped bleeding but it wasn’t healing properly. Silver poisoning prevented normal werewolf regeneration completely.He was feverish and delirious. His skin was too hot when I touched his forehead carefully.Uma changed his bandages with shaking hands. Her face was drawn with exhaustion and grief.“How is he?” I asked quietly.“Not worse,” Uma said. That was as close to good news as we got. “But not better either. The silver is still in his system. Poisoning him slowly.”Elena had left just before the coup. Her health too fragile to endure the stress. Benjamin had spirited her away to some safe location, abandoning everything to reunite with his lost love and atone for his past.Now Uma carried the burden of healing alone. Using every technique her mother had taught her. Knowing it might not be eno

    Jacob’s POVI stood at the western border of Ironheart territory watching smoke rise from yet another skirmish breaking out. The third one this week. The fifth one this month.Three weeks since Yves had seized control of Thunderstrike Pack deliberately. Three weeks of relentless, desperate attacks that made no tactical sense.This wasn’t the calculated warfare I’d grown accustomed to with Ulysses. This was chaos pretending to be strategy.Yves’s forces struck at random intervals with no clear objectives to accomplish. Sometimes they retreated before inflicting real damage. Other times they pushed forward with suicidal aggression that accomplished nothing of value.Warriors died on both sides for meaningless scraps of territory that were abandoned within days.“Another patrol reported movement near the eastern ridge,” my Beta said carefully. He pointed to the map spread across the field table. “But they pulled back before engagement.”“That’s the fourth false alarm this week,” I said. M

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 82: Sacrifice and Coup

    Ulysses’s POVI saw the blade flash in Kimberley’s hand with horrifying clarity. I saw her lunge toward Hazel with murderous intent. I saw the madness burning in her eyes like wildfire.I saw Hazel frozen in shock and surprise, too stunned to dodge the attack.My body moved before my mind could process the decision I needed to make. I threw myself between them deliberately. My shoulder slammed into Hazel with full force. Knocked her backward hard and away from the blade’s path.The silver bit deep into my chest where I’d positioned myself as a shield. It slid between my ribs with sickening ease that made my breath catch.Silver was poison to werewolves in ways nothing else was. It burned on contact with flesh. Prevented healing through supernatural means. Could kill if it struck deep enough into vital organs.I felt the metal slide into my flesh with terrible clarity. Knew immediately the wound was bad and potentially fatal.My knees buckled under the shock and agony. Pain exploded thr

    Hazel’s POVThe pack assembly happened so fast I barely had time to process it completely. Elena had requested it urgently that morning. Said she had critical information that everyone needed to hear.Now the entire pack crowded into the great hall with visible tension. Warriors lined the walls. Council members sat at the front. Visiting Alphas and their delegations filled the remaining space.I stood at the back with Uma beside me. Watching Elena stand before the crowd looking like death itself.Her skin was gray. Her hands shook so badly Uma had to support her weight, but her voice carried clearly when she spoke.“I’ve discovered something that affects this entire pack,” Elena announced. “Something that’s been hidden for years through dark magic.”The hall went silent. Everyone leaned forward with interest.“Kimberley used a spell on Ulysses,” Elena continued. “Specifically, a false mate bond. The most complex dark magic I’ve encountered in decades.”Gasps rippled through the crowd.

  • Alpha Regrets After Banishing Me And Taking My Son   Chapter 80: Dark Magic Revealed

    Elena’s POVI bent over my notes in Uma’s medical chambers with hands that wouldn’t stop shaking despite my best efforts. The tremors were from exhaustion now rather than age. We’d been working for three days straight. Barely sleeping. Barely eating.Analyzing the magical residue Uma had detected on Kimberley was draining work that taxed us relentlessly. Dark magic always took a toll on those who studied it carefully. Siphoned energy. Left traces of corruption behind that made you feel dirty inside.But we were close. So close to understanding what had been done deliberately.Uma entered carrying another vial. This one filled with a sample she’d collected from one of Kimberley’s hairbrushes deliberately. She set it down carefully beside the others we’d been testing.“You look terrible,” Uma said gently. She moved to my side. Put her hand on my shoulder. “You need rest before your health gets worse.”“I’ll rest when this is finished,” I said. My voice was hoarse from disuse. “I owe Haze
