Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 82: Hidden Truth
Romy POVI’m staring at Gerard. He is angry. He is mad because of Trina. I am mad because of who she is standing with in the picture. Why is this happening now?I feel Erik wrap his arms around me. Lia is only just starting to come around. She still doesn’t completely trust him, but she trusts his wolf, Zeb. From what Erik told me, Zeb is putting in serious overtime to reassure Lia that he wants her and she is safe with him.Erik has been doing the same with me. I still get nervous from time to time, but he doesn’t let me live in that mindset. He pulls me out of my emotions when I get that way.I haven’t told him more about my past, but he’s been leaving subtle hints. If he knew the truth, he might regret mating with me, and I don’t want to risk our relationship. For me, it’s still fragile.“Romy, are you okay?” Gerard asked.I nodded. “I’m fine. Just didn’t expect to see that today.”“Was that what brought you here today, Gerry?” Erik asked.“No. I need to start looking for studios.
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 81: We Had A Deal!
Viola POVMy cell phone rings and I see it’s Trina’s mother, Marge Mayer. She is a long-time friend and partner in crime.“Marge, how are you, my dear?”“Cut the crap Vi, we had a deal. Don’t you remember? Trina and Gerard would be mated. Now his fated mate has ruined everything, and she is carrying the heir. A son! That was supposed to be my daughter!” Marge said.I sighed, “Marge, I understand. I’m still working on it. I need my grandson to be born legitimately. Then I will get rid of the photographer.”“Don’t forget, Vi. I have the evidence. Either you make this happen, or I swear, I will turn everything over to the council. I will not have my daughter be made a fool of, do you hear me?!”“Marge, don’t threaten me. Instead, work with me. There is power in numbers, and honestly, the photographer is resilient. Trina even got her blacklisted from the photography world.”“Your mate had Trina thrown out of the pack today. Did you know, or are you just willfully ignorant?”“Mind your wor
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 80: Options
Silja POVI don’t want to go back to Night Crown. His mother and that bitch Trina are there. Has he lost his mind?“No. Not with your mother and Trina being there.”“Trina will not be there. I have had her removed and banned from the pack,” Nolan said.“You think I want to be around Viola? That woman hates me,” I shot back.Gerard then spoke up, “You’re right. I just know that your mom and dad will be with you, and that they will look out for you. How about I set up a condo and bring your parents there? Then we can all look after you. I will get it done quickly. Once you are recovered, we will do the Luna Ceremony, and my mother will no longer be an obstacle for you.”I look at Gerard. He really is being accommodating to everything for me. I could stand to be the same for him. I’ve been thinking of a way to make things easier for him. I think he might be homesick.“As long as my parents are with me and Viola cannot do anything to them or to me, then I will go with you to Night Crown.
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 79: Pup’s Safety
Gerard POVDad rushes in, and he sees me completely beside myself. I can’t lose Silja, and I can’t lose my son.“What happened, son? How’s Silja? How’s my grandson?” Dad asked.He has his hand on my shoulder, and my head is down. My elbows are on my knees, and my left knee is trembling.“I don’t know, Dad,” I replied. “The doctor said he was going to try to stabilize the fetus. He said this looked stress-induced. All because of fucking Trina,” I said in a deathly low tone.“How is Trina involved?”“She filed a lawsuit against the studio where Silja worked. She said they were in breach of contract. Her boss got her attorney and tried to handle it herself, but was urged by her attorney to take a settlement deal that included firing and blacklisting Silja.”“That bitch did what?!”“Just as you heard. Then I called Erik to find out who Trina is hanging out with these days, because there is no way she came up with this herself. Romy then found an article where Trina gave an interview that
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 78: Preparations
Gerard POVAfter my mother left, I went back to the couch to look at Luna Ceremony preparations with her.“What did she want?” Silja asked.“Making demands she has no authority to make,” I said flatly.“Was she always like this?”“Honestly, no. There was a time we could joke with each other and be very casual. Those days ended with the Luna Ceremony with Trina, which was canceled,” I replied.“So, she changed because I ruined her plans,” she said as a matter of fact.“Let’s not worry about her. Let’s focus on our ceremony and our life together,” I said, nibbling her earlobe.She giggled, and I growled playfully when her phone started ringing. “It’s Ebba.”Silja sits up quickly and answers the phone on speaker, “Hey, Ebba! How are you?”Ebba answers with a tired tone, “Not well, Silja. Not well at all.”Silja became very serious, “What’s wrong?”“Have you seen the headlines today?”“No. Let me get my laptop.”I pulled out my phone, and my eyes darkened. “There is a lawsuit against the
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 77: What did you do?
Viola POVI’m fuming! What the hell was Gerard thinking by letting Jaul become Deputy CEO? I had to find out from Trina that he pulled this stunt. I am going to give him an earful.I come to the photographer’s apartment. This place looks like a dump. To think my son, the future alpha of Night Crown, is being subjected to living in a place like this. It’s unfathomable.I go up the stairs and am met by a guard. “Sorry, Luna. Alpha Nolan said you are not to enter here.”“Excuse me? I am the Luna. Step aside. My mate will not dare prevent me from seeing my son,” I said loudly.“Luna, I’m very sorry. I cannot go against the Alpha. Perhaps you should call Alpha Gerard and see if he can meet you.”I’m feeling rage rise from inside me when the door opens behind me. Gerard steps outside and looks at me coldly. “What are you doing here, mother?”“I want Jaul removed from Sinnett Group immediately. What were you thinking? He is trying to undermine you and your authority.”Gerard scoffed at me, “
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 27: Home
Silja POVI finally made it back to my little apartment. I have never been so glad to see my sofa, my bed, my kitchen, my space in my life. This weekend sucked in major ways. I didn’t think that seeing my parents would lead me to being hated, insulted, negotiated with or any combination thereof.I
Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 26: Just Like That
Gerard POVI have to admit, once again, that Silja is smart. My father is right, she doesn’t beat around the bush and she is quick witted. For someone who seems timid, like a little bunny, she has teeth and will certainly bite you if you are not careful.‘She’s, our mate. She and Pau don’t want us.

Alpha's Picture of Regret Chapter 8: Bring them earlier
Silja POVI woke up the next morning. My eyes are heavy and I don’t feel rested at all. Last night’s dream left me with this feeling like something is coming and it’s making me uneasy.I go through the motions of showering, getting dressed, brushing my teeth, doing my hair, making my breakfast, eati
