Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 42: The Line
Gerard POVI thought about last night. After everything I said, I was waiting for Silja to say something. Anything. Instead, she blushed and it made me smile inwardly. I think the mate bond is affecting her and I hope it is. I hope I’m not the only one it’s affecting.I meant every word I said. I was thinking back to our conversations over the last three weeks. At one point, she had her camera with her. I saw an old man sitting on a bench and she told me to take a picture. I looked through the lens, and I rhetorically said out loud, “He looks deep in thought. I wonder what an old man like him has seen through the years.”Silja smiled and took the camera from me to look at the picture. “I always see the world differently when I look through a lens too.”“Huh?”She looked at me gently, “People think about things differently when looking through a camera lens. Like you did just now. ‘I wonder what an old man like him has seen through the years.’ Any other day, you would have just walked
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 41: My Decision
Silja POVI’m surprised by Gerard’s immediate reaction to this pregnancy and his decision to stay with me until I’m healthy. I know it’s for the pup’s sake more than mine, but still, I guess it’s nice not having to do this alone.I think my parents would help me, but it’s not the same as the father being present, I guess. There are no ‘what ifs’ in life, but I can’t help but wonder, what if we had met when we were both completely sober? What if we never met at all? He would be with Trina and I would be none the wiser, but then would I go the rest of my life without a mate, since he would have been with Trina?Last night was…comfortable until the unexpected happened. We had takeout, we talked and laughed. It was kind of like having a sleep over with Romy. I called her last night once I went to my room to sleep. I told her everything that happened and also about what Gerard said about Trina.“He literally used the word, ‘us’?” Romy asked.“Yeah. I mean, I’m not reading into lover. I thi
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 40: Dad Bod
Gerard POVSilja saying I’m her fiancé to her boss made me feel good. She struggled to say it though. It’s okay. I’ll gain her trust and make her see I’m not the asshole she thinks I am.My phone buzzed and it’s Trina texting me.[Trina: Hey babe! I miss you!][Gerard: I can’t talk right now, however, we need to have a serious conversation.][Trina: Is everything okay?][Gerard: I’ll call you tomorrow. Good night.]I’m going to settle everything with Trina. First, none of what happened today would have happened if she didn’t dismiss Silja’s guards three weeks ago. They would have intervened when Silja was being taken. Second, Silja is going to be my Luna and the mother of my pup. I need to draw a serious line in the sand with Trina now.‘FINALLY! THANK FUCK!’ Terk said happily in my head.I sighed inwardly. ‘Terk, I hope you know that I also feel like an asshole for doing this to Trina too. She doesn’t deserve it.’‘She dismissed Silja’s guards and Silja ended up kidnapped. Screw Trina
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 39: Trust
Silja POVI gave mom and dad and even Nolan a hug before I left the hospital with Gerard. I’m not really in a position to refuse help right now. The pup’s health comes first and that means I have to take care of myself. If Gerard says he is going to take care of me and give me the best doctors, then I would be stupid not to take him up on it. Even if it’s just so he can keep his heir healthy.‘Terk said he is doing it for you too. Not just the pup.’ Pau said.‘Yeah, right. I’m only doing this because I care about this pup. Even if I’m not ready to be a mom. Even if my dreams and goals are put on hold. None of it is going to matter now without my pup. Gerard will get to be a part of it, but that’s all.’‘Uh-huh. You are starting to soften towards Gerard. Admit it.’ Pau said.‘No.’ I said seriously. ‘He hasn’t earned my trust. But the next couple of weeks, he will have the opportunity. If he screws it up, then at least I’ll know, right?’I rode quietly with Gerard and we stop in front of
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 38: Breaking the news
Gerard POV I braced myself as I went back into Silja’s room. She isn’t going to be happy about not working. It’s only temporary though. Before I walked in, I hear her talking to Romy. “Oh lover. What am I going to do?” I continue listening to the one-sided conversation because I can’t hear Romy. “I know, but a pup? I’m not ready to be a mom. I had so many things I wanted to do. Now everything is on ice. Gerard said he won’t stop me from working, but how can I trust him? Everything with us started with a lie and drunken night.” “Yeah, the last three weeks have been nice, but that’s only because he wanted to win me over so he wouldn’t lose his alpha position.” “No Romy, Just a little while ago he said, and I quote, ‘I’m not planning to make you my Luna just to reject you later. Not when there is a pup coming.’ I shouldn’t be surprised or disappointed, but I am.” “I know I sound like a broken record, but I wish I never went to that club. Never drank that drink. Never met Gerard and
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 37: What about her?
Gerard POV I’m about to be a father. Holy Moon Goddess! I’m about to be a father! My mind is suddenly in overdrive. Silja has agreed to be my Luna. Our pup won’t be illegitimate. I will become alpha of Night Crown. Things are looking up. My dad and Silja’s parents stepped outside for a few minutes to talk to the doctor and I was left alone with my mate. When I look over at Silja though, she has her hand on her stomach and she looks sad. Not just sad though. It’s another emotion I can’t describe. Seeing her like that was like throwing ice water on me. I reached for her hand. Feeling the electric jolts that does things to Terk and me. “Silja?” She looks at me and the light in her eyes is practically gone. She’s not happy at all. Is it because of me? Because of the pup? Or is it because of her accepting me as her alpha and mate? Is she regrets agreeing to being my Luna? I used to think that the mate bond would attract your mate to you and you would fall deeply in love. This thing b
