Liz’s POV

We followed in silence as Lumian led us toward his office.

My steps felt light, too light. Like I wasn’t even walking. Maybe I wasn’t. I wasn’t sure anymore.

My thoughts swirled with the weight of what he’d just said.

A letter.

He said he found a letter.

Written in my handwriting.

Claiming I left willingly.

Saying I’d only return if Judy was gone.

I had never written a letter, or had I? I couldn't remember everything from the day that I was murdered, so maybe this was another thing that I had simply just forgotten.

Lumina was my mate. He should know what my handwriting looked like.

The ache in my chest was unbearable.

Arthur didn’t say anything as we walked. But I felt him tense beside me, his energy sharp and boiling beneath the surface.

The doors to Lumian’s office opened with a creak, and the familiar room came into view. So many hours I had spent here doing reports, sitting beside him, trying to be enough. Now, it felt foreign. Like I’d never truly belonged in it at all

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 120

    Cecilia’s POV“Arthur,” I called again.He didn’t stop.He didn’t even flinch.He just kept walking, his shoulders stiff, and his hands clenched at his sides like he was holding something in or barely holding something back.He’d been strange ever since he came back, Different and Distant. Like his body was here, but his mind was somewhere else.I used to be able to read him.Every expression.But now, all I saw was a storm I couldn’t step into.I hesitated before following him. The hallway stretched ahead, dim and too quiet, the only sound of his boots echoing off the stone floor. I quickened my pace. “Arthur, what’s going on?”He stopped, just for a second. Then turned slowly, his face unreadable.His knuckles were raw. Bleeding.His eyes were tired in a way I’d never seen before.“Not now, Cecilia,” he said. His voice was low, but it cracked at the edges like he didn’t have the strength to keep it whole.“You’re bleeding,” I said, taking a step forward.“It doesn’t matter.” He t

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 119

    Arthur’s POVShe looked like light.Silver washed over her skin like the moon had chosen her, like it had been waiting for this moment just as long as I had.I didn’t move. I couldn’t.My hand rested on hers, cold and still, but it didn’t feel empty anymore. Not with her beside me. Not with her soul kneeling there, eyes locked on mine like she hadn’t stopped believing in me either.The wind stirred, soft at first, then stronger. The clearing felt alive. The trees didn’t sway, but the energy did rise around us, humming through the grass, through the air, through my chest.She leaned in. This was it.This was the moment she came back.I could feel it every inch of the clearing thrummed with something sacred. The light curled around her, around her body, as if it were guiding her home. My heart pounded so loud I could barely hear anything else.We’d done it.I’d found a way.She was coming back.But then the clouds shifted.And the moon disappeared.And just like that, it was gone.The

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 118

    Liz’s POVI stood in the middle of the clearing, waiting.The moon was beginning to rise. The trees were still. The wind didn’t move. The world felt like it was holding its breath.And then I saw him.Arthur stepped into the clearing with my body in his arms.Everything inside me went still.He didn’t rush.Each step was careful and deliberate, like he was carrying something sacred. He moved to the centre of the clearing and slowly lowered my body down onto the grass. I watched as he adjusted my hair. His fingers lingered, brushing over the curve of my cheek, his jaw tight.It was unbearable and beautiful all at once.I couldn’t stop staring. That was my body. That was me. But it didn’t feel like mine anymore. Arthur stood and stepped back. His eyes flicked up to the sky, then down to my body. The moon broke through the clouds then, full and bright, casting a silver glow across the clearing. It spilled down through the treetops and settled on us—on me.I held my breath, slowly mov

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 117

    Liz’s POV“We need to get ready. Make sure we don’t miss anything,” Arthur said.His voice was steady, sure. Like he already believed this would work, and hope had already wrapped itself around him and refused to let go.I nodded and stood, falling into step beside him.But inside me, everything was trembling.Because while he spoke like this was the answer, I couldn’t stop the doubts pressing against my ribs.The story he found… it was beautiful. Poetic, even. But it didn’t speak about ghosts. It didn’t talk about what it meant to be stuck between life and death. That wolf in the story, he’d died. And his soul had stayed close, yes, but had he been forced to walk the world unseen? No.The story didn’t mention that.And part of me feared that my story didn’t match his. That maybe I was too far gone for moonlight to save.But I didn’t say that aloud.Because Arthur believed.And I needed to hold on to that belief, even if only a thread of it was mine. Because at the end of the day,

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 116

    Arthur’s POVI didn’t wait.The book was clutched in my hand as I left the office, nearly tearing the door off its hinges in my rush to get to her.I could barely breathe.My boots hit the stone with purpose, each step louder than the last as I moved through the halls. I didn’t stop for anyone. Didn’t look back.I needed to see her. Now.When I reached the door, I pushed it open, hard enough that it slammed against the wall.Liz stood up from the bed, startled. Her eyes met mine instantly, wide and unsure.“I found something,” I said, voice rough with everything I was holding back.I crossed the room, not trying to hide my excitement. “This isn’t a maybe,” I said, stopping just in front of her. “It’s not another dead end.”I held the book up, opening to the worn page, the faded ink still clear enough to read. “There’s a story. A wolf… a warrior. He died, and his mate wouldn’t let him go. She waited for the full moon, and when the light touched his skin… something happened.”Liz’s li

  • Alpha's Regret After I Died    Chapter 115

    Arthur’s POVThe sun had started to rise, but I hadn’t slept.The fire in my office had burned down to a faint flicker, and the stack of books beside me had doubled since Finn left.I rubbed my eyes and flipped another page.Inject energy into the soul tether.The words stared back at me from a dozen different notes and scraps, repeated in different ways, but none of them made it any clearer.Energy.But what kind?Magic? Blood? Moonlight?Every theory I had circled back to one truth—she was still here. That had to mean something. Some part of her soul was tethered, still clinging to this world. I shoved the book aside and grabbed another, this one older, its cover brittle and cracking, with a faded crescent stitched into the spine.Werewolves had always turned to the Moon Goddess.We draw power from the moon and its cycles. Our powers were the ancient force of night. Strength, healing, speed, all of it tied to the moon. But not resurrection. That was one thing we were never meant t
