Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Fragile Threads
(Audrey's POV)Elder William’s gaze bore into me, heavy with expectation. I stood before him, swallowing the lump that had formed in my throat. His aged yet sharp eyes demanded answers, but I had none I could share.“Tell me, Audrey,” his voice was low, yet the command in it was unmistakable. “Is this... situation with Arthur truly irreparable?”I held my hands tightly clasped, my head lowered, avoiding his piercing gaze. How could I tell this man, who revered tradition and the mate bond above all, that his beloved grandson had failed me utterly as a mate?His expression softened slightly, his wrinkles deepening as concern shadowed his features. “I know his behavior has been... difficult,” Elder William admitted, stroking his silver beard thoughtfully. “But you must understand, Audrey, he has carried many burdens. The loss of his mother, the complications with his stepfamily... they’ve shaped him.”I bit my lip hard, suppressing the urge to lash out. It wasn’t the loss of his moth
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left The Last Strand
(Audrey's POV)The call from Lucas buzzed in my mind all the way to the Silver Moon Club. My knuckles turned white as I gripped the steering wheel, frustrated and tired. Why did it always have to be me? Why did Arthur's messes always land at my feet?The Silver Moon Club’s neon sign flickered weakly in the dark night. It was quiet when I arrived, most of the patrons having already left. Only the faint music and occasional chatter from the staff filled the air.As I stepped inside, the sharp smell of alcohol hit me hard. It churned my stomach, my wolf’s heightened senses no help to the nausea that had started creeping in lately.Lucas was easy to spot, standing by a corner booth with his arms crossed. He gave me a quick wave, his expression tired."Audrey, thank the moon you’re here," he said, his tone exasperated as I approached.I glanced past him and froze. There, sprawled across the booth as though it was his personal throne, was Arthur. His tie hung loose, his dark hair messy
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Empty Promises
(Audrey's POV)Sunlight streamed through the windows of my new home. I blinked against the brightness, the sleep clutching at me like a stubborn memory. My exhausted mind replayed last night again and again — Arthur’s desperation, his broken words, the raw plea for me not to leave him.I sat up slowly and pressed a hand against my stomach. The growth of our pups brought both comfort and confusion. "It’s just us now," I whispered, as if to reassure myself. "We’ll be fine."The sound of heavy footsteps outside brought me back to the present. They weren’t slow and deliberate — they were purposeful and loud. Then came the knock. Firm, each strike rattling my door. Arthur.Grace stirred with unease. I took a deep breath to brace myself and made my way to the door.When I opened it, there he stood, towering as ever. His dark eyes immediately locked onto mine. He was all Alpha King — commanding, impossible to ignore, and emitting an aura that demanded compliance."Get ready," he said wi
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Family Bonds and Broken Trust
(Audrey's POV)The gravel path leading up to Elder William’s mansion felt longer than usual. Each crunch of the stones beneath Arthur’s and my feet echoed louder in the tense silence between us. I was bracing myself. Moving out was practically inviting judgment from Elder William, and I knew it. But I wasn’t prepared for what would happen when we stepped inside.As soon as the grand door of the mansion shut behind us, Elder William’s voice roared through the hall. The fury in his tone hit me like a cold slap. "Arthur Moonstone!"Arthur’s posture stiffened immediately. His steps faltered just slightly, but I caught the tension in his jaw as we approached the main hall."Grandfather--" he began, but Elder William’s voice cut through like a blade."Silence! How dare you allow your mate bond to reach this state?!" Elder William stormed toward us until he stood mere feet from Arthur. His commanding presence filled every corner of the room, pressing down on both of us with an intensity
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Shared Grief and New Tensions
(Audrey’s POV)The ride to the sacred memorial site was silent. My hands rested on my lap, fingers picking at the seam of my dress as the passing scenery blurred through the window. Arthur drove wordlessly beside me, his usual commanding presence muted. Grace stirred inside me, uneasy, but I ignored her. This visit was important—not for him, not for us, but for me.The closer we got, the more my emotions churned. I hadn’t visited my parents’ memorial in years. Life had been too hectic. Or maybe I had just been too cowardly. Now, with everything unraveling, the pull to be near them was undeniable.Arthur slowed as the car approached the forest path leading to the memorial. My throat tightened. This was it.“We’re here,” he said softly, breaking the silence.I nodded but didn’t speak. My words were lodged somewhere between my heartbreak and all the unspoken truths weighing on my chest.As we walked through the wooded path, Arthur carried the traditional markers he’d brought—white m
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Gifts and Unspoken Words
(Audrey's POV)Nathan emerged from the kitchen, balancing a large tray with practiced ease. The savory, spicy aroma instantly caught my attention, making my stomach rumble."I remembered your fondness for spicy venison," Nathan said, his tone light but thoughtful, as he carefully placed the dishes on the table. One particular plate held what looked like an intricately prepared venison heart, coated in a deep red marinade that promised fiery heat. "This one has a little extra kick, just like back in school."As the words left his mouth, Arthur’s commanding voice interrupted the moment. "She doesn’t like spicy food," he declared confidently, his tone edged with authority as if it were a statement of undeniable fact. "Audrey prefers bland game. It’s easier to digest."My head snapped toward him, disbelief prickling at my nerves. Before I could respond, Sarah let out a short, disbelieving laugh, spinning her chair slightly to face Arthur."Is that so?" she asked, a teasing edge to her
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Severing Ties
(Audrey's POV)Arthur's heavy footsteps echoed behind me as I reentered my house. The air felt thick, the tension suffocating after the uncomfortable dinner and the events that had followed.I was already irritated by how the evening had unraveled. And Arthur, standing in my space, towering over me like the Alpha King demanding his territory—it made the irritation bubble into genuine anger.He stood there, his dark eyes holding onto me like he had something important to say but couldn’t get the words out. His presence, commanding yet frustrating, made Grace restless inside me."Arthur, for the last time, leave," I said, trying to keep my voice even.He didn’t move. Not even an inch. His gaze darkened. "Audrey, stop this.""Stop what?" I laughed bitterly. "Stop demanding you leave my space? Or stop trying to distance myself from someone who couldn’t care less about me for three years?"His jaw tightened, frustration flickering across his otherwise composed mask. "You think I neve
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Shattered Truths
(Audrey's POV)Victoria leaned forward, her polished nails digging into the edge of my desk. Her pale eyes had that gleaming edge of triumph I had come to know far too well. Her voice came soft but carried venom."You think you’re so above it all, don’t you, Audrey? Do you want to know why Arthur chose to mark you?"Her words made Grace stir inside me, uneasy and bristling. I stared at her but didn’t respond, refusing to play into her games.She smiled. Not kindly. There was something cruel in her expression. "He finally marked you because Grandfather William made him. Do you know why? Because Grandfather threatened to banish me from the pack if Arthur refused."The words struck me hard, like a punch I hadn’t braced for. My heart clenched, and a wave of cold washed over me. Grace howled softly, mourning the blow to both of us.But I wasn’t going to let her see my pain. I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction. I kept my voice steady, though it felt like I was holding back a storm ins

Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left A Territory Den Full of Memories
(Audrey's POV)"Did I ever say I would form a mate bond with you?" I challenged, raising an eyebrow at Florian Stormhowl's audacious assumption.His golden eyes glinted with amusement as a confident smile spread across his face. "Everything else is up to you, but this decision is mine."I felt my cheeks flush with indignation. The nerve of this wolf! First Arthur with his fake mate severance certificates, and now Florian acting like my future was already decided."You can't force me," I warned, turning away from him and striding toward the parking area.To my surprise, instead of arguing, Florian simply fell into step beside me. "Where are we going?" he asked casually, as if we hadn't just been discussing our potential mate bond."We? I'm going to my hotel.""Perfect."When we reached my pack car, Florian circled to the passenger side and got in before I could object. I stood outside for a moment, keys dangling from my fingers, debating whether to kick him out."Aren't you get
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Betrayal Uncovered
(Audrey's POV)I was stunned. It felt like I had been slapped across the face. The words I'd overheard between Arthur Moonstone and Nathan Snowfang spun in my mind, each syllable a knife twisting deeper into my chest.Betrayal burned through me like wildfire. I turned on my heel, my wolf senses heightened with anger. I should never have set foot in the Moonstone Pack territory again."Healer Winter, don't misunderstand. When Alpha Moonstone went to see her that time, it was only to warn her not to—" Daniel Hayes's voice trailed after me, his formal tone tinged with desperation.I barely heard him over the roaring in my ears. My fingers clenched around the photograph Nathan had given me—the evidence that would finally free me from my doubts.I stormed toward the underground parking area, each step fueled by righteous fury. The concrete walls of the parking structure seemed to close in around me as I reached my car.Just as my fingers brushed the door handle, a tall shadow fell acr
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Conflicted Loyalties
(Audrey's POV)I stared at Arthur Moonstone standing in my doorway, wearing a casual hoodie instead of his usual tailored Alpha attire. The sight was jarring—like seeing a wolf in sheep's clothing. He looked almost... approachable."The Alpha, always refined and powerful, has gone this far for me. What virtue or ability do I possess to deserve this?" I thought to myself, a bitter edge to my musings.Yet I knew better. "Our relationship didn't evolve to this point in a moon cycle, and it has nothing to do with what clothes he wears. Even if he looked exactly like Florian Stormhowl, he would still be Arthur Moonstone, unchanged in the slightest."His dark eyes flickered over my face, searching for something. Vulnerability? Forgiveness? He wouldn't find it."I just suddenly discovered that wearing this is quite comfortable," Arthur explained with uncharacteristic casualness, gesturing to his hoodie.His gaze drifted past me to the travel pack sitting prominently in my living area.

Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Hidden Truths
(Audrey's POV)I watched Aunt Juliette's face carefully, searching for any hint of recognition or confirmation. The gravity of my words hung in the air between us."Aunt's expression froze. "Who did you hear this from?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper."Aunt, please don't hide it from me," I pleaded, reaching for her fragile hand.I pressed my lips together, gathering my courage. "This time... I'm certain before asking you. I've learned I'm from the Shadowcrest family in Northern Territory."Aunt Juliette's hands trembled violently in mine. Her eyes widened with a mixture of fear and shock that I hadn't expected."Shadowcrest? The Shadowcrest pack?" she gasped, her voice weak but urgent. "Your biological father's pack is Shadowcrest?"Her reaction confirmed what I already suspected, but seeing the truth written so plainly across her features still stole my breath away."Did they come looking for you?" she demanded, her frail body suddenly tense with anxiety. "Have t
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Revelations and Farewells
(Audrey's POV)"I'll be right down." The words tumbled from my lips automatically as Arthur's news about Aunt Juliette hit me like a physical blow.My hands trembled as I ended the call. The room suddenly felt too small, the air too thin. Aunt Juliette—the woman who had taken me in when I had nowhere else to go, who had shown me kindness when others turned away—was in critical condition.Sarah Mitchell glanced at my pale face, concern evident in her eyes. "What's wrong over there?" she asked, setting down her coffee cup.I moved on instinct, grabbing essential items and shoving them into my bag. "My aunt Juliette has taken a turn for the worse. I need to rush back to Central Territory."A dark suspicion flashed through my mind: was this truly a natural deterioration of her condition, or had Emma Shadowcrest's schemes reached beyond Northern Territory? The timing felt too convenient—just as I discovered my true identity, the one person who might know about my past was suddenly at d
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left A She-Wolf's Betrayal
(Audrey's POV)Florian Stormhowl stared at me with those mesmerizing golden eyes. The moment hung between us like a fragile thread connecting our pasts and futures."Yes, you are Serena, my intended mate," he declared with unwavering certainty. His voice lacked its usual teasing tone, replaced by something deeper, more sincere.A storm of emotions washed over me. Relief, confusion, fear, and strangely, a sense of homecoming all battled within my chest. Who was I really? Audrey Winter or Serena Shadowcrest? Could I be both? The ground beneath my feet felt unsteady, as if my very identity was sand slipping through my fingers."Thank you," I whispered, fighting back tears. "For never giving up on me."His mouth curved into a small smile. "I promised I would find you.""You were always there," I said, the realization dawning on me. "Every time I needed someone most—when I was kidnapped, when someone stole my identity—you appeared."I thought of Arthur Moonstone, of Nathan Snowfang,
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left The Poisoning of Elder Shadowcrest
(Audrey's POV)"Elder!" I cried out as the elderly she-wolf collapsed in my arms, her frail body suddenly heavy against mine.Florian Stormhowl moved with blinding speed, catching her before she could fall to the floor. Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, staining her pale lips crimson."Get the pack healers!" Florian commanded, his voice cutting through the shocked silence that had fallen over the room.The Beta wolf by the door immediately snapped to attention. "Is there a medical team available?" he asked, already moving toward the exit."The wolf healers are already waiting outside," Mr. Shadowcrest responded, his voice oddly detached. "They were here for... Serena's needs."The irony wasn't lost on me—healers brought to tend to a fake Serena would now fight to save the real Serena's grandmother.Within moments, the room filled with pack healers in their traditional white robes. They worked with practiced efficiency, checking Elder Shadowcrest's vitals and preparing
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left The Truth Revealed
(Audrey's POV)The Shadowcrest gathering hall felt suffocating as I sat beneath the weight of Mrs. Shadowcrest's piercing gaze. Her demeanor had transformed from the anxious anger of previous nights to something far more chilling—cold mockery that made my skin crawl."Where are the bloodline verification ritual results that were supposed to come out today?" she demanded, her voice slicing through the tense silence.Florian's casual "Soon" only seemed to irritate her further. She turned to me, her lips curving into a cold smile that never reached her eyes."Ms. Winter," she said, practically spitting my name, "once the report comes out, I have only one request: never set foot in our Shadowcrest territory again! You've thrown our pack into chaos with your absurd claims!"I flinched at her venom, unable to defend myself against accusations I hadn't even made. It was Florian who believed I might be Serena, not me."SILENCE!!" Elder Shadowcrest's voice thundered through the hall with
Alpha's Regret After His Pregnant Luna Left Awaiting the Truth
(Audrey's POV)"Take me home."Those four simple words from Florian Stormhowl struck me with unexpected force. In all my years as a lone wolf, no one had ever said that to me before. Not Arthur Moonstone during our mate bond, not any pack member, not even my aunt Juliette who had occasionally taken me in.Home. Such a small word to cause such a large ache in my chest.I blinked rapidly, fighting back the moisture gathering in my eyes. Despite my best efforts, a single tear escaped, trailing down my cheek before I could wipe it away."Florian," I began hesitantly, my voice barely above a whisper, "if I'm not who you think I am... could we still be friends?"The question seemed absurd even as it left my lips. Yet I couldn't help the desperate desire to hold onto this warmth, this connection—even if only as packmates. After losing my mate bond with Arthur, after the betrayal and heartache, I'd convinced myself I didn't need anyone. But Florian's persistent presence in my life had so
