Arthur’s POV

I couldn’t do it.

I stood at the edge of Blackthorn Pack territory for what felt like hours, watching the trees sway in the wind, feeling the weight of memories pressing down on me.

And then I turned around.

I left.

Not because I didn’t want to see her—Moon, I ached to see her—but because I knew if I looked into her eyes, I wouldn’t be able to walk away again.

I would’ve stayed.

I would’ve thrown everything away just to be near her.

So, instead, I ran.

By the time I reached my estate, the sky was darker, the weight in my chest heavier than before. I pushed open the doors to my study and stepped inside, shoulders tense, eyes tired.

She deserved better than someone who couldn’t even face her.

I collapsed into the nearest chair, rubbing my hands over my face.

That’s where Finn found me.

“Alpha, did you get what you need to do?” he said, stepping into the room.

I didn’t look up. “No. I didn’t.”

He crossed his arms. “Didn’t or couldn’t?” Finn knew me better than anyone. He co

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 101

    Arthur’s POVI had dreamed of kissing her for so long.Every night I spent away from her, it haunted me. The thought of what it would feel like to finally let go. To stop pretending I didn’t want her more than anything I’d ever known. I imagined the way her lips might taste, the way her body might melt into mine like she was always meant to be there.And now that it had happened… I wouldn’t take it back.But I wished it hadn’t been like that.Not when she was falling apart. Not when her hands were shaking and her voice barely held together. Not when our first kiss dragged a memory out of her that shattered something inside her. I wanted it to be something she could hold onto, something worth keeping. Not a trigger for pain, so raw it left her trembling. Instead, it felt like another wound she’d carry. One more scar layered on top of all the ones we hadn’t even begun to understand.I didn’t speak as I led her back to my room.She didn’t speak either.When we stepped inside, she didn’t

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 100

    Lumian’s POVI couldn’t breathe. Not the way a man gasps for air, no, this was worse.This was drowning. Suffocating and Endless.The moment I stepped into my room, the weight of everything crashed into me. Guilt, Grief, Loss and Regret. It didn’t knock, it shattered the door and buried me under it.I didn’t bother turning on the light. I didn’t need to see the room. I knew it by heart. The same bed where she used to sleep.The same walls that heard the silence between us grow louder every night.The same air I was still breathing, even though she wasn’t.I had no one to blame for any of it, no one but myself. I had caused her death by letting that monster believe that I still cared. I let Judy stay. I let her linger. I let her whisper things into the cracks of my life that Liz was too kind to seal. I didn’t shut the door when I should’ve slammed it in her face.I gave Judy space to think, there was still hope that I could love her. That I wanted her. I let her believe it, because I

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 99

    Liz’s POVArthur kissed me back with a hunger that was intense and desperate, like he’d been holding it in for too long.His mouth moved against mine like he knew this was something fragile, something broken, but still wanted it anyway.I clung to his shirt, to his warmth, to the rush of something real in a world that stopped making sense.But then…Something slammed into me.My eyes flung open, and I let go of Arthur, stumbling back like I’d just been shoved by a ghost.The air shifted. My lungs squeezed tight. I couldn’t breathe.Everything around me tilted and went dark.Not emotionally.Physically.The room vanished. Arthur vanished. The stone floor beneath me dissolved. And suddenly, I was somewhere else.A cave, it was damp and Cold.I could feel the rough wall pressing against my back, the ache in my limbs like I’d been there for hours.My head lolled forward, too heavy to lift.Then I saw him.A man cloaked in shadows, face hidden beneath a deep hood. I couldn’t see his eyes,

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 98

    Lumian’s POVI couldn’t take it anymore.The sound of Gabe’s voice. The way he said her name. The way he described it like it was just something that happened. A series of mistakes he couldn’t help. A story that didn’t belong to me. Or to her.I stood up before I realised I was moving. My chair scraped against the stone, sharp and jarring, and I muttered the only word I could get out.“Enough.”Then I was gone.I slammed the door behind me, hard enough to shake the walls. The corridor outside was cold and narrow, but it didn’t matter. I didn’t make it far.The second I turned the corner, it hit me. The pressure in my chest. The bile at the back of my throat. The sick, twisting in my gut that had started the moment Gabe opened his mouth and hadn’t stopped since.I staggered to the wall, bracing one hand against the cold stone.And then I threw up.My knees hit the ground, and I stayed there, gasping.Everything was spinning. The hallway tilted and narrowed until it felt like I was bei

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 97

    Liz’s POVI didn’t want to be there. But something pulled at me. Not a voice. Not a vision. Just… a feeling. A low, heavy thrum in my chest like a thread yanking tight.You need to be there.Not because I wanted justice.Not because I wanted revenge.Because I needed to remember. All of it. Every breath, every detail, every ugly truth they tried to bury me under.So I came. I followed the sharp pull until I reached the room. Arthur and Lumian were there, but I didn't look at them. I looked at Gabe.My killer.I stepped through the wall just as Arthur said it.“Then explain.” His voice was low and cold. Steady in the way that made people shake.I felt Arthur’s eyes find me the moment I entered. But he didn’t say a word. He didn’t move.My eyes never left Gabe.I moved closer, until I stood behind Arthur’s shoulder, facing the boy who had taken everything from me. I stayed silent. Let the room press in. Let the guilt rise thick in the air.“I stabbed her,” Gabe said, voice cracking. “S

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 96

    Arthur’s POV“I’m sorry,” he whispered, already shaking. “She tricked me. I swear she said Liz was dangerous. She said”“I don’t care,” I snapped.His lips trembled, eyes bloodshot, words fumbling over themselves as he tried to explain. “She said Liz would hurt her. That Liz had threatened her before. I didn’t know she just… she said if I loved her, I’d protect her.”He was crying now, sniffling, shaking like some pathetic little thing.“I didn’t know it would go that far. I thought I was just supposed to scare her.”“Enough.”I slammed my fist into the table.The sound cracked through the room like thunder.Gabe flinched hard, shrinking into himself.“There are no amount of sorrys that will bring back the lives that you took,” I said coldly, leaning over the table just enough to make sure he saw the weight of what he’d done. “Not Liz. Not the child she carried.”Gabe’s mouth opened, eyes wide. “I only killed one. I swear”“No.” My voice was sharp enough to silence the air. “You didn’t
